NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10rl920 13 NEW LONDON HEARS CALL FOR ECONOMY (Special to The Bulletin.) -.- 1 Xew London. "Jan 9. Thfe iSergeant llaomon. chapter Vtri -th jioiice his Rrv of New Ivondori waaf elosed bx the aetlon of the court--of common council in the approvaf of the action of the, committee in suspending him from work without' pay -for 30 days, and by . then reducing bun to the ranks. So if -Mr. Hammond desires, to remain on the force he must take his trick at . regular patrol duty: This he" will . probably do. His punishment is re markably liht lor the serious offenses he committed, when compared with the offense of : Patrolman Cavanaugh, ! and for whicti the police committee and the mayor make such persistent and determined effort to fire him from - the force, but without arafl. It all seems to depend: upon just what of ficer on the fprce charges are-, pre ferred. . .. Still the Hammond punishment wafi even more severe than that meted out to Policeman Randall who -was caught in the act of drinking booze In a a loon whi'e on duy. Randall had been on the force for a long time, but did nothing to distinguish' him as even-4. competent officer, He . was placed on the retired list to draw half pay the rest of his natural' life. The change -as beneficial to Mr; Ra-ndaU.-as ever since-his retirement he has-. had a soft snap at the plant of the New London Ship and Engine - company, and at pry goo4 pay.- The coin-he-gets from the city is -ell-relvetUo him. He re ceived a dose of very, agreeable pun ishment.' ' ' Sergeant Hammond was a. very effl rient officer and by reason "of ' his ability-was long engaged as .a detec tive in plain clothes, and lie did some remarkably good work. It is said of Mm that he never dropped a case as fjicrned to, him until it was finished to the satisfaction of himself and his sur iorinrs. However, he was accused, of drinkinr' to excess, and thereby his pood Qualities as a police officer were rnore thap counterbalanced by that which cheers and makes a good man Sometimes lose his good judgment. However, with prohibition in force, and the. temptation' removed; Ham rroml may.' in due time, show genuin reform and he placed back in the posi tion from, which he was demoted.

The mayor wanted a committee that would join With him In carrying out this pet scheme, and he named Alder man Payne for the committee to succeed Alderman Chappell.. . The mayor said that by the passage of -.the vote "the second legal step had been taken and two more votes that would pome later must be passed by the council Before the real constructive work could go forward. - -- - The was strong talk in opposition to acceptance of the report and Al derman Hollandersky Stated 'that the street was only three blocks in lengti and the cost of 'widening would cost at least three-quarters of a million dol lars, and the alleged improvement, as proposed, would not be worth, the price: die aJded'' that the -next lax rate would bfe 26 or; 27 milts and. that it-was about time to. have Just-a, little bit of economy in' municipal manage ment. When a claim against the city was filed by an attorney for his client who claims damages for Injuries received by falling on a slippery sidewalk in Orchard street the mayor remarked that there, had been complaints of lack of sidewalks in that "street for the past decade and just as soon as a new walk is laid in comes a claim for oamases. The mayor is correct. - But there is a little story in' connection with that sidewalk, and the end is not yet. Sack several months,- a short time before the city meeting for action on the an nual budget, curbing was laid in Or chard street. Soon after ,ldads of ashes, . the foundation for concrete walks, were dumped in the gutters of that street. This indicated that im provement was to come, and no oppo sition appeared in city meeting to the budget ifrom residents of that section. After the7 meeting the piles -remained many weeks. Finally when the first real cold snap came the actual work of " laying the isdewalk was commenced and carried to a finish on one side of the street. Naturally as a result of doing , that class of work in freezing weather the surface of the walk is already -scaiing and is in worse condition than if it had been in use for a score of years. To be satisfactory- to the public that walk eight to be relaid in the early spring. .The property owners along the line make no secret of their deter mination not to pay lor the price of a good tvalk when an. inferior walk is furnished by the city. The- proncrty owners are supposed to pay half the cost of the new sidewalks, but Orchard street property owners claim they are entitled to just as good walks as in any other section, and if they dO not get the goods tney ao not propose to pay the price. Mayor Morgan did himself proud In having State street prettily decorated with .greens during the holiday period and. ..the trees and roping -have just been removed. It gave to the city a seasonable appearance and gave strangers a good impression of the cjty.. and the dear public appreciated all that the mayor did.' It was a time ly thought, tvell executed. the way, the mayor, he whs was candemned by-the trolleymen's mnion for his endeavor to settle the strike, is not condemned bv all of organized la bor. In the trolley ease he had the courage of his convictions and his ac lion was commended by all except the Striking trelleymeh. As a matter of fact; the mayor is a friend rather than an opponent of or ganized labor. At the last meeting of the eouhcil a communication was read from the local plumbers' union endorsing his action in supporting their fcbntention in' relation" to the plumbing in the houses built in Jef ferson avenue under the direction of the United States Housing corpora tion: The mayor 'and the union plum bers are of one mind on that matter of ssil'tatioii. - - church, Norwich Town, Tuesday.
