It is one of the most damning reports of a city's failure | to function satisfactorily in an im- portant department that was ever | issued hereabouts. The city’s streets, | thoroughly investigated by the com- | mittee, were found to be in a de- plorable condition for the most part. | The impartial nature of the report | is significant. No attempt is made therein to shield one or the other party; both were found wanting in | years past. The lamentable condition : of most of the strects could not have | developed to such proportions, the report indicates, if any of the ad- | ministrations had given proper at tention to them. | The first move of Mayor Paones- | #a's administration has been to plan work on the streets and to construct sewers. The main intention of the mayor just now is to give work to unemployed men.

A GOOD NU The Connceticut EG LAW law allowing a ! person charged with @ major offense | to choose between a trial by jury or by three judges is working well.
