gave a very clear idea. of just what
the board intended to do if permit-
ted. He explained the poor facilities
accorded in the Greens Farms
schools as it stands today and ex-
plained that the reason for crowd-
ing in the Bedford school was that
so many of the Greens Farms
residents sent their children to Bed-
ford school because of conditions at
the Greens Farms building. Mr.
Ruff felt that with toner accmn
modations many children would go
to the Greens Farms school. An-
gus MacDonaldmuntcdto know how
much of the $25,000 donated by Mr.
Bodford Would be spent for columns
in from of the building at Greens
lmrms. instead of using the money
for utilities in the building. Mr.
MucDonail called attention to the
face that a certain (am of building
was required for the Bedford
school. .Mr. Jennings assured Air.
MacDonail that Mr. Bedford would
leave the matter with the school
board. Mr. MacDonall said that if
fewer ornate columns were placed
on the building more rooms could be
built. Several persons advocated
building a ten room school house
instead of eight. After consider-
able discussion. Dr. Thomas Steams
made a. motion that it be the sense
of the meeting that. the whole pro-
gram as proposed by the school
board. with the first plan of financ-
ing, be approved E. C. Nash pro-
posed a-n amendment to Dr. Stearn’s
motion. that live years should be
taken to clear this debt, as in five
years the whole thing will have to
be repeated. George Gair proposed
that t first plan be adhered to.
Prof. rison Steeves regarded a
longer time as the better way. It
was finally voted to approve the mo-
tion of Dr. Steams. There being no
other business the meeting adjourned.

Mr. “'aller received his education
in the public schools and after
graduating from the Bartlett High
school in New London studied law.
He was admitted to the New Lon-
don county bar in 18 . Shortly af-
ter he enlisted in C pany E. Sec-
ond Connecticut Volunteers. but a
serious affection of the eyes brought
him back to law practice in which
his progress was marked. In 1875
he was appointed state's attorney
for his home county, 3. position the

served his town and the state in

In 1885 he was ins-elected governor
by popular vote; but did not receive
the constitutional majority and "the
legislature being Republican, chose‘
Henry P. Harrison. the Republican
nominee. . -
Mr. Waller was a. state figure for
many years and he was no lem an
impeling personality at: home. He
was mayor of New London from
1873 to 1879 when that community
took a'long stride from conditions
of a. town to one of a city. He
brought about civic improvements
which : abolished swinging wooden
signbxm stores along the streets,
and the century old curb and hitch-
ing post. and many other obstruc-
tions which is earlier days had play-
ed their part as accommodations for
those who came into the city by wa-
gon and desired to leave their vehi-
cles handily to the places of busi-
ness. Many of the swinging signs
were of fanciful design to advertise
the goods within the store. Their abo—
lition was through ordinance and
from this start the city began its de-
velopment as a. city.
Ocean Beach.
Mr. “'aller induced the city to
take his view of future prospects and
to buy Ocean Beach as a. place
through which the public might
reach the Sound. Its benefits are now
realized. Mr. “'aller was one of the
incorporators otJhe first street rail-
way in New London and later on he
was identified with public service
corporations in the west. He was
active in real estate development
and had a. part in opening for
homes several large sections then
rcmothrom m h! ......h...
but now a part of the residential dis-
tricts. He was also active in bank-
ing and was an ineorporator and
later on officer of the Mariners Sav-
ings bank.
After his return from London Mr.
“’ailer formed a law firm with New
York emcee. while he retired from_
active connection with it after some
years, the firm name remained for
a long period.
Mr. “'ailer's personality was such
and his friendShips so many that
anecdotes of him are of almost end-
less number and variety. Those clos-
est to him and who. as members of
