Buasiness Ofice T enry; CITY, BALANCES, < Upon closing his books at . the end of the fiscal year Treasurer Chamber- lain found that the balance in the general fund was $4,620.65, which is approximately $500 less than : was figured on when the estimates were being prepared. The total amount of the balances in the various funds is $131,617.98, but it is from the above only that payments are made for the ordinary expenses. Notwithstanding the fact that water department paid $35,000 the sinking fund last year it still has @ balance of about $30,000 to carry it alpng until the water rents become due again in July. The present met- er system is proving very remunera- tive, but it is understood that the comniissioners expect to see the re- ceipts decrease for the people will economize in the use of water, using only enough to satisfy their needs and cutting out all waste. The street improvement fund has @ balance of $11,366.45, No appro- priation was made for this fund this year, principally because no perma- nent pavement has been provided for and the demands on the fund Wil naturally not be heavy. The payments from' property owners for the paving on West Main street have not all been paid, about $9,000 still remaining un- collected. This, of course, will be obtained in a short time and When it is the improvement fund will be just g0 much increased. 1f permanent pavement were to be laid this year the demands on this fund would be heavy because it is from it that all payments for such work are made un- til the agséssments are collected. The finances, however, may be said to be 10, gdod condition; the balance in the general fund is not as large as it has been at the close of some years, but it is within asmall sum of the estimated Ymount so that all the appropriations are reasonably well provided for. There is something over $29,000 in the fund for new parks, but only one of the proposed sites has been purchased so far and when all are acquired the greater part of this bal- ance will have been exhausted. All things considered there is no reason WHy the city should not get along nicely with -the estimates already made and still be within the appro- priation at the end of the year. This is the aim of all administrations and it is & good rule tp follow. St GARBAGE CONTRACT. The fact that the committee on health has recommended that . the garbage contract be awarded to a company whose bid was not the low- est seems to have stirred up some qutement. just as if such a thing had never been done before. Some years ago a colored man . named Brown, a resident of Berlin, was awarded the contract for collecting the garbage, but there were so many complaints received during’ the year that When he put in a bid the follow- ing year, which by the way was lower thAn any other, it was rejected be- cause of the trouble the city had with him previously. The same thing oc- curred a few yehrs ago in the award- ing of a contract for printing the municipal record. The concern which had it one year did not do the work satistactorily and .when it put a bid in the next year it was rejected, not- withstanding the fact that it was the lowest, so that there are at lgast two precedents for tke action of the health committee this year. v In some cities the garbage question - §s a source of revenue rather than an expense. Dealers in hogs pay for the garbage, haul it away,’feed it to It will be noticed that the lowest bid- uybtorthe present contract expect tq iake up for the low price for which ey are willing to do the collecting by kuply hogs, and will still add to their revenue by fertilizing their " farms, It has always appeared ques- tionable as to. whether garbage fed hogs make yery good food, unless the into dufln: the last month or two of their | ‘lives they are fed on corn, thereby ullifying to some ex’ol! at least the effects of the gsrwt There is, m good and bad garbage, and learned is to have it properly collected, the health committee seems to be reasonably satisfled that it cannot be done for $3,000, which is the lowest bid and only about one-h#if of the | amount of the other bids, It wil, however, make another try at 1t witi a view, according to the advice of the council, of seeing if there is any sound way by which the lowest bid may be accepted with any assurance of the work being done satisfactorily. and TO OVERHAUL LIGHTING SYSTEM It is very evident that the present city administration is going to undo some of the things done by the last one and it appears that a great deal | of the reform will be confined to the department of public works. The lighting system, about which there | has been so much talk, is to be over- hauled and, according to the state- ments made to the common council last evening by Councilman Voight, some changes are needed. -The lights were located in accordance with the instructions of Dr. Bell, the expert, to whom the city paid several hun- dred dullar! for looking over lhei lighting of the city and recommending a system that would be more suitable | than the one then in existence. This question had been under considera- tion for a long time ana at its close ! a contract was made with the United Electric Light and Water company | and the lights are being installed. It stated that all of the more powerful lights have not been placed. The objection raised by Councilman Voight is that lights of lesser bril- liancy have been placed on streets of more importance than those placed on streets of less Importance. He made his objection so plain that special committee was appointed to take the matter under consideration. Just as soon as the matter was opened | up several members of the council entered an objection to the present system and it was made quite plain that it was far from satisfactory. It seems peculiar that Dr. Bell, recog- | nized as being such a competent man, | should make so many mistakes in the location of lights. Mr. Voight's idea ; is that he was not sufficiently well | acqualinted with the relative impor- tance of the streets to locate the lights where they would give the best satisfaction. The council was unani- | mously in favor of the change. It is very evident that the year will see many changes made in the | manner of handling the public busi- ness and if they prove to be an im- provement over those practised dur-| ing the past few years the public Will greatly appreciate them. We want the best methods obtainable. : a MOVIES ARE LEGAL ON SUNDAY. Judge Bryant of the police court | in West Haven rendered a decision to- | day to the effect that moving pictures | do not disturb the peace of a com- munity, and discharged six men | charged with violating the Sunday ! law. His decision in reference to shooting galleries, flying horses and similar forms of amusement do dis- turb the community, and he fined those who had been charged with op- erating them, the penalty being five dollars for the managers and one dollar for the employes. There have been judges who took a different view of such cases, but there is no doubt but that the West Haven magistrate | is more in line with public opinion | and his verdict will be received as a | rénsonable interpretation of a law | that, according to the construction of ' some lawyers is sadly in need of | modification. | It is true that moving pictures do | not disturb any one and yet they furnish good, healthy and often edu- cational amusement for a great many | people, and if the line is to be drawn | tightly around all kinds of amuse- ment, as some desire, then the work- ingman will have no opportunity for the recreation which he needs and | which he must have if he is to be able to perform his dally tasks with that degree of efficiency which all problems require. This matter up to today had been discussed so often that there seemed to be absolutely nothing new to be said about it. The West Haven judge, however, has in- troduced a new feature which will be welcomed: all over the state, not alone by managers, who are scarcely to be considered, but by the large number of people who find much real pleasure in seeing the pictures, < How can we possibly save the lives of our children when they run out into the road and buap into the rear end of a trolley car when the motor- man’s eves are kept .on the track ahead, where they should be, or cven put their little feet under the rear wheel when nobody is looking.

TOWN TALK, HERE died in Forest- ville yesterday a man who some twenty-five ‘or thirty years ago was one of the best known sporting men in Connecticut. His b J name was Rdward Hyland but those who knew him never called him anything but “Red.” His hair at one time was inclined to be of that color, but of late years it was grayish, but its owner never grew old in either heart or spirit. He was al- | ways ‘“Red” Hyland and would sit down and talk of horse racing and sprinting as long as he had an au- dience. He was well informed on those topics, too, and in his day knew how fast every sprinter in the state could run a hundred yards when un- der full steam. He attended all the handicaps in New Engfand and always carried a good sized wad, but whether he added to it or lost it all he wes always the same ‘“Red” Hyland, the same sport, as full of enthusiasm as ever and able to borrow enough to start all over again when he needed it. He won a great deal of money, but lost just as much and perhaps a little more, still he retained an in- terest in sprinters and running up to the day of his death. He will be remembered as the trainer of ¥Frank Kane, who under his direction bacame | the champion sprinter of Connecticut, New Britain had a number of fast sprinters at that time but Kane beat them all. It was ‘“Red” Hyland who really brought him out and it was | he who was back of him when he beat Herbert Rigney of Waterbury at Charter Oak park, winning the cham- pionship of the stater That was a wonderful race, greater even than the one in Philadelphia when Kane beat Eddie King of this city who it was thought would win the handicap, but he went down to defeat before Bennett of Wallingford and later Rigney, the latter saying that he would not make any effort to win and Kane, who was then growing fat, did not train and when they came on the track Rigney announced that he was | going to do his best and won the There was a lot of local money lost on that contest. Hyland was back of Kane when he ran against Jake Thomas at Traut’s park, the latter winning without any apparent trouble and also capturing the han- dicap. He proved to be a ‘“ringer,” a man named Wagner, one of the fast- est ment in the country. The prize money was withheld from him for a few days but it was finally paid him and with a snug sum he won in bets | he left New Britain with a grin over the way he had hoodwinked the local Frank Kane was a great lit- on flesh there was nothing in the state that could beat him.

The report is that there is a dis- position among some members of the common council’ to cut off the salary of the members of the board of pub- lic works and ask citizens to serve for the love of the city. The day for that kind of service has passed in When men worked for the city for nothing it was in its early days when | the population was small and when there was comparatively little to do in the way of city business. When consolidation went into effect the board of public works, with no sal- ary attached to the membership, ex- cept that of the president of the board, was compelled to meet trom‘ two to three nights a week, usually until midnight and sometimes later, in order to act on the matters that came up for action. It was like be- ginning all over new and the council very properly realized that men could not be expected to perform such ser- vice without compensation. The meetings are not as numerous now as they used to be but the business to be transacted has increased, it requires men of judgment to do it and they | | cannot be obtained for nothing:- There is no other department in New Brit- ain that has so much work to do as the board of public works and it would be not only unwise, but decid- edly unfair to ask men to do it with- out compensation. There does not seem to be any difficulty in obtaining men to serve on boards that meet only about once a month, but it would be difficult to obtain efficient men to serve on boards which meet every week as does the present board. It has often been said that important city work should be paid | for and the truth of this statement | becomes more apparent as the city grows and its business increases. There have been times when there was talk of paying a salary to the members of the common council, but this has been frowned upon and just- ly so, but the time 1s coming when salaries will have to be paid to more officials than at present and the reason for it is the growing, dispositfon of | people to insist upon compensation for services rendered. It will no longer do to talk of public spirit in New Eritain. That has gone never to return and those who do not realize it have not been keeping a close watch on the drift of city affairs for a long time. As a general proposition the affairs of the board of public works are being given as thorough consideration as any similar work is given in any other city situated as is New Pritain and it would be a great mistake to plan to have the work done for nothing. It took the late F. L. Hungerford as corporation counsel a long time to draw up the ordinance in reference to the board of public works and the common council amended it from top to bottom last night in five minutes. It reduced the president's salary to $200, and transferred his duties, aside from those of a presiding officer, to the city engineer. This matter wa talked of four years ago principally by Commissioner Humphrey of the board of public works, although not | along the same line, so that the idea 18 not a new one. Whether the action taken by the council will produce bet- ter conditions than those existing at present is not the question up for discussion just now, but rather the method employed to bring about the reform which the mayor desires. admits that he is the parent of the movement. The council has hereto- fore objected to hasty action in amending ordinances and some time ago passed a resolution which said in effect that the reports of the com- mittee on ordinances should be print- ed so that the members might have an opportunity to study out the changes proposed. That resolution still stands, but admitting that later action of the council might have re- pealed that resolution, the the council at the time it was passed that ordinances should not be hur- riedly amended still holds good, and was violated without any good reason last evening. The duties of the presi- dent of the board of public. works are defined by ordinance and those of the | city engineer by charter, which can- not be amended by the council. It is possible that the council might be abie to get around this situation, but there was absolutely no reason for driving right through it. Alderman Kerwin sald he did not like the word- ing of the resolution and Alderman Shine said it imposed a heavier bur- den on the city engineer than any one man can conveniently carry, It was apparent that some of the members at least realized that the resolution was a radical one, but they did not have an opportunity to study it out. Mr. Christ had early knowledge of it and admitted that fhe idea of having a road builder not a member of the board of public works was a good one, and as the corporation counsel had drawn up the amendment he was willing to vote for it. The main point about the whole matter is that the proposed change has been brought flbO\l( in a bungling manner, when it could just as well have been done properly. It should have been re- ferred to the committee on ordinances to report at the meeting next Wednes- day evening and in the meantime the ordinance should be amended by striking out here and there and in- serting the new provisions so that when it was done a person would ‘know what it all meant, the council would know that it was legal and all | the members would have had an op- portunity to study it out as the coun- cil originally intended. It is always best to have such things done right. If Mayor Quigley’s appointments on the board of health are any cri- terion of what they will be generally, he will surround himself with a very competent body of men. It is ex- tremely doubtful if the personnel of that board could be improved upon. It is a pleasure to see that Dr. Bray has consented to serve as a member, for the reason that he has had so much practical experience In health matters ‘that it does not seem prob- able with him on the board that it will go astray. It is understood that he will not be superintendent, that he does not care to be and will be con- tent to serve as a member, When Dr. Bray was appointed” by Mayor Landers to succeed Dr. Brackett, re- signed, he said to the “About Town” man that he would make good if he lost his entire practice, and he cer- tainly has made good. It must be a pleasure for a man to be recognized by a new administration, because it may be taken as convincing proof that he has done his work well. The work of this department has greatly increased during recent years, in fact it has been necessary to make some radical changes; these have been ap- proached as a matter of business and have been treated as such. 'Dr, Bray has made his reports to the council in a very interesting as well as an intelligent manner and it is well known that the members appreciated it. Those branches of sanitary sci- ence which may properly come under the head of health matters are bound to be treated intelligently by the may- or's new board, because it is built up that way and the general impression seems to be that it could not be made up better. ' It is a good beginning for the new mayor and if he succeeds in making as good appointments to the other departments he will have earned the gratitude of all citizens and will establish a reputation for good judg- ment in the selection of public offi- clalv. The question has been asked if the health committee ever had a lay chairman. The answer must be in the affirmative, William 8. Judd serv- ing in that capacity in 1891, the sec- ond year of the term of Mayor Pease. He was preceded in the office by Dr. Cremin and was also succeeded by him. Of course the work at that time was as nothing compared to what jt is at present. It was not until the appointment of Dr. Douteil in 1896 that the work took on some of its present importance. He made a good start, but was only in office about two years when he died. The department is now one of the most important in the.city. ‘Worcester Man’s Thought. (Worcester Telegram.) A Worcester man, who has been in the city half a century, still remem- bers his early .life on a farm among the Berkshire hills. He gets over that way occasionally and finds that the successful farmers are not liying s0 close together as their fathers and grandfathers did many years ago. They are not unfriendly, but success among them is not so general as in past generations. Those who have in- herited the sense and energy of the past are rich and prdsperous farmers, but the majority have not that inheri- tance. They or.their children have gone to the cities, “to work in tha shops for small weekly pay,” he says. They have lost their independence as well as the acres of wealth which were left to them and they will never get ocut of the shops until the end of their lives. This Worcester man is not worrying about the farmers who remain and make money among the Berkshire hills, but it seems to him that there are thousands of acres of land there which prosperous farmers do not cul- He | i the shops. idea of : ivate. their farms since the neighbors thinned out, but still there are thousands of | practically idle acres. The Womes&er man formerly of the hills sees no way for men to go back to those old farms and make money, except by the cor- pcration system. Not that individuals cennot make money on the farms now as well as heretofore, as those still there do succecd, but men of the shops in cities have not the courage to go out with small means and take uj the old farms. They cannot outlive the necessity for the weekly wages of Probably their judgment is good, considering the lack of ability as farmers. But there is the land and the citles need the farm products more than ever and are willing ‘to pay higher prices for them. Then there is the opening for cor- georate effort, which means the direc- tlon of capital by the few for the em- ployment of the many. That is the ozening for thousands of young men whe are being graduated from the 8tste coileges with knowledge of scien- tife farming. It has been proved that pisaty of farm labor can be secured when the business is done on the basis ¢, steady work and pay with fair Jaces for habitation for the families ( workers. The old haphazard ways Ove gone by—for the successful. %Diere must be scientific application of knowledge to the tilling of land and 4 the business of disposing of the erCps. Ifithat cannot be expected £#m the graduates of agricultural €lleges, then the lands of New Eng- ®nd are not worth much for agricul- fure. It is the only proper solution for this section. Spasmodic efforts of individuals are of small account as compared with what should be done. The state is laboring with the hard «woestion of what is to be done to em- ploy the immigrants who come to Massachusetts. Inform them that there are 500 farm corporation farmers tilling 2,000 acres each on the average, and the wages are sure to be paid and decent places provided for the families of the Iimmigrants, and there will be no problem for the new- comers or the old citizens to solve as to disposal. .Have the work done on wuch big farms by power as it is in the mills, and the foreigners will know how to tend the machines on the land in less time than they learn how to run the spinning jacks ard the looms. It 1s system that all the people who work are looking after. They do not court care or hard work for small wages. But they will be as faithful in caring for the machines of the land as of the shops, and they can be speeded up as easily. By that kind of farming, the old Worcester resident thinks, New Eng- land could get back to its former high place among the independent sections of the world, which means it would produce nearly as much as it could eat in cities as well as rural sections. And the profits should recompense the investors somewhat for the losses they have sustained in the railroads and other ventures which have been spoiled by too much law and politics, The Death of a Twin. (Brooklyn Bagle.) For more than a decade the “Muncy Twins” of Babylon have been part of the glory of Long Island. They cele- brated their ninety-fifth birthday last Christmas. Now Samuel s dead, and ‘William is seriously in peril from the shock of his brother’s passing. Tall and strong, of farmer stock, living the simple life always, the Muncy twins seemed to defy the approaches of age. Almost up to the time of Samuel's death they were able to take long walks together, and to do some farm work. Apparently there was never a shadow on their mutual affection. Kach had married. Each had chil- dren. Together their descendants, thirty in number, were at the last cele- bLration. Always total abstainers, the two venerable men had been members of the prohibition party for several years. Originally they had been republicans, but it is said that James G. Blane was the last candidate for the presidency on the republiéan ticket that they voted for. They had owned much property, which they had parceled out among their children, not wishing to have their folks wait anxiously for the inheritances. The lives of the Muncy twins were quiet and uneventful, but wholesome and wholesomely inspiring. Babylon will mourn Samuel Muncy. All Long Island will mourn him. That Willlam may live to celebrate his centenary is a universal hope. Health Superintendent. (Meriden Record.) The Record is particularly interes ed in one of the recommendations made by New Britain’s new maypr for it sounds good enough to imitate. Mayor Quigley has recommended to tbe board of health commissioners the appointment of Dr. T. Eben Reeks as superintendent of health. Under the new charter amendment, which tecomes operative on the first day of May, the superintendent of health is required to devote all his time to the duties of the office. The office will be located in City hall, and will be fitted with a complete laboratory. Sometime, after there has been suffi- cient waste, it may be that the au- thorities will see the advantage of hav- ing a real head for the health depart- ment of Meriden. The time has rassed when a city can afford to have its health interests split up into so many departments that it is impossible to fix responsibility and prevent a clashing of interests. interests of a municipality as superin- tendent of health must be paid a decent salary. No man is going to leave a profession where he is making a ving to take up a work where he would find difficulty in eking out an existence. To preserve the good health of any city requires the entire time and services of an efficient man and until this arrangement is per- tected there is bound to be much to be desired in the matter of the proper safeguarding of health.
