Probably there city, thoroughly city financial city’s needs, tax rate more intensely than did 8. Chamberlain, president of the board of finance and taxation. He has exterted every effort to bring about a lower rate at a sacrifice of valuable time, to the thankless work which should not be overlooked. Mr. Chamberlain was shocked when he compiled comprehensive figures showing how the city's expenses had ‘creued and how they are still in- easing. At Mr. fully sympathized with by other members of the board, the budget was cut to the quick and, to illus- trate his remarks before the mon council, it was cut in some cases so deep that blood was drawn. The appropriations - were reduced ‘“as much as it was safe to do"” he was frank to admit, they were cut in some “cases possibly more than was safe, And Mr. Chamberlain knows. He was not theorizing. He was using practical sense and bringing all his influence to bear to bring as low a tax rate to the city as possible and allow the city to live decently—to little more than breathe. So impressed the common council that it adopted, practically without question, that portion of the budget presented by Mr. Chamber- lain and the board regarcing appro- priations other than those for sal- aries. That salary matter has been fought out and the salaries left as they are against the advice of the hoard. The rest of the budget must be left as it is and not cut if New Britain is to retain of the char- acter she now possesses. If other ap- propriations are cut there be blood from thc city indeed. who heard Mr. Chamberlain speak be- fore the common council realize this fact. There the budget, such as $30,000 for the New Britain Institute which appeal to the habitual because of the amount other reason except, possibly, that the New Britain Institute is a place such objectors do which such ob- ters, was trying to do too much work. saw, apparently, nothing inconsistent in the work of the two offic: Judge of the court and baseball arbitrator or director. But he did see that there was limit to his ability to work along similar lines—for there is similarity in the things he had to do in each position; was a judge in both instances. A man may do a cer work each day. Most men do too lit- tle or try to do too much. Few do exactly the amount that will what they do of the greatest value. A little more than they do would det from the perfection of their work | had they done a little less. If they do a little less than they should they are wasters of their time, and time should be wealth. It is impossible for another to s whether or not a man is making the most of his time. It is almost impos- gible for the man himself to find out if he might do a little more or if he is trying to do too much, That which is work for one is play for another.
