llHdHNt anu luAoAloll lpl Nllltt llplS policemen will be granted only over his dead body, He makes that plain In his pronounciamento as whip of the republican party in the common council in which he declares through tho party organ that an effort will be made to defeat the measure.
 Alderman Judd delights In playing politics If he feels personally az grieved because he Is not consulted beforehand when 1t is proposed to pass any special legislation. the Ob- server would suggest another amend mcnt 10 the charter by which he would be appointed board of cen sorship over all pending changes in ordinances and over appropriations as well, This may be an unusual way of doing business hut it would at least facilitate passage Of qucS- | tions which come before the com mon council.
 Under this plan all proposed legis- lation could be referred to the com mon council and Alderman Judd Appropriations would be approved or disapproved by the board of A. nance and taxation, the common council and Alderman Judd At the meeting of Alderman Judd he could preside and act as secretary. He could rule himself out of order, call for d rising vote, demand a roll call, deliver long speeches before mir TOT or do anything he wanted 10 do, He could make rulings and reverse them. He could make motions, sec ond them and pass them and at the next meeting of himself he could rescind action on what he had done when he met last time. After he had debated questions long enough he could vote on them and make q report to the common council. If he and the council and board of fi- propriation it would go through with q whiz But in order to protect his interests and give the city the bcne-
 fit of his profound knowledge of what the people want, it would be necessary for the council, the board and Mir. Judd 10 act unanimously on all matters. Failure to win Mir. Judd
 over to any project would mean it's failure,
 Not such a bad idea, the Observer thinks.
 But wait Second thoughts are best. Why not let the mayor, the council and the board Of finance and
 taxation gracefully resign and let Nr. Judd run the city? Eureka,
 Many citizens have made remarks about the manner in which tractors which have become a common sight in the city, are leaving their traces In the permanent pavement. Slowly crawling from excavation to oXcava -
 ton, the tractors are biting Into the roadWays and although they are l causing no serious damage. they cut , the surface so that deterioration is
 hastened
 It has been suggested that owner. :, of tractors be required 10 obtain per. :, mits to move them through the pub, lie streets and post bond with the ' board of public works sufficient tc
 cover any damage which might bc
 done. Some system of this ldnt 3 should be adopted because, with the , continuance of the building boom ir New Britain, tractors can be met or
 the streets at almost any time. U Announcement by the board O l public works that it intends to re
 surface West Main street brings t' = mind the idea that perhaps tn '' street should be widened from Higl = street 10 Grove Hill. At presen Il there isn't any too much room fo y traffic at certain points when trol d 1eys are passing and drivers of all = tomohilcs are in constant danger 0 $ having their mudgards shcared of
 It has become evident that wide a streets will be necessity in the i'm e mediate future. This might he @ good time to consider the needs o Il West Main street, which many driv s CTS will prefer 10 use as an eXi $ through the western gate of the cit s even after Myrtle street has bee y paved,
 l. Objection may he brought un be V cause the widening of West Mai 6 street would necessitate the remova o of many beautiful trees This woul l. be the most serious obstacle, in th d opinion of the writer. Whether t would be sufficient cause for post
 noning the improvement is open { n debate. The courts have ruled tha n city is not financially liable for th q loss of trees when the grade of th ,t street is not changed, this ruling he
 ing made when the widening (
 Chestnut street was effected so tha
 the cost 10 the city on this accour .e would not be increased,
