 Up in Watertown former Superintendent of Police George Milo Beach, is quietly celebrating his 89th birth day. He has lived than 20 years to enjoy the fruits of his labor as head of the Waterbury Police Department He retired from active service at his back in 1925 during the administration of the late Francis F. Gufoile The story of his retirement from the depart men is worthy of full size Tall Tower column, but per haps Waterburans little tired of ancient history cernng to withstand such test of patience Then again who is ambitious these days to resurrect from memory story that written quarter of tur ago. Mr. Beach "drafted for services police superintendent by his Republican friends. Oh yes not withstanding the rumors Waterbury by Re- pubcans. The COP retired picturesque chieftain by the of George Egan and decided to let another George do the work For little more than 20 years George M worked conscientiousy for the City of Water bury. He had his ups and downs. He tossed" around apeny but he kept his poise and his temper He had squad of legal advisers for every occasion, George didn't wander far from the beaten path to be picked up by Democratic snpers. In his calm way and knowing that the Democrats secretly planning to him outGeorge M out of the clear day peti toned for retirement Even then the Democrats suspected of consprng to keep him the job until they got the "drop" The result: ripper bill passed in Hartford taking the matter out of the Democrats hands, Deputy Joseph H. Mclean named superintendent at 5000 per annum So George M. had the final laugh. Maybe this incident will be recalled today in reminscence but anyway here's to Mr. Beach. He is swell fellow and made good superintendent. He stood up for his men. He most courteous to newspapermen. May he live many years in health and happiness.
