Some day the city will discover that it isn't the tax rate that counts 8o very much as what citizens get for the tax money. Just now we own to ction in this respect.

The world has been pretty thor- oughly ice-bound this winter.

THE ANNUAL DIL FACES CITY New Brithin'is faced with the an- nual dilemma. To provide needed public improvements usually results in a higher tax rate. To avoid the higher tax rate as much as possible numerous nceded public improve- ments go by the board. This has been the manner in which the dilemma has been solved for years. Though there is some grumbling that the city does not provide such improve- ments as almost everyone deems necessary, such grumbling custom- arlly merges into satisfaction that the tax rate has not been hoosted to an inordinate level. Good rportsmanship calls for no growling by anyone merely because cherished improvements are nullified by the so-called budget “pruners. We ourselves sce improvements that we know are nccessary turned inte “some other time™ propositions.

Many a queer incident has been happening in Plainville of late, Al- most any day we expect to read of Governor Trumbull dropping down from his airplane in a parachute. This, too, occurs in the movies, so why not in Plainville? in most states; indeed, most states have no such law. But in referring to the 1 report of the state league | we find that the following state- {ment under Dr. Shumaker's signa- ture got him into trouble: “No matter how guilty a person may be of violating the prohibition |1aw, even though he might have as many as three stills in his home and be engaged in the manufacturing of {white mule that is poisonous and {deadly in its effects, should there be NEGRO SPIRITUALS Twice within a few days in New | |such a person must be tufned free. .

The real mummy was broken while it wus- being delivered to the shop.
