In view of recent increases in local taxation for town purposee, your Com- mittee have made every effort to re- duce the rate of city taxation and the above estimates are deemed to be such as will fully and fairly meet the ex- penses of economical administration and of such permanent improvements as are at this time absolutely neces- sary. Tn' addition to the above estimated expenses for ordinary purposes of the Government, the Committee on Finance have been requested by petition, com- mittee reports, etc., to bring before the next annual meeting for its action, es- timates of the cost of the following ex- enditures and improvements prayed or, to wit: .

Your Committee further récommend the adoption by the Court of Common Couneil of the following resolution: Resolved, That the report and esti- mates of the Committes on Finance be accepted and approved; that the Clerk cause the same to be published, as re- quired by the amended charter, and that the Mayor, or, in his absence, the Senior Alderman present, be directed on bebalf of the Cowrt of Common Council to submit the estimates em- braced in this report to the mext city | meating to be held on the first Monday of June next, and to recommend t a tax of mine mills be laid on the last 1d_list of the city.

Thayer The campaign for the city election in June opened on Thursday evening, when the democratic caucus was held in Town hall, there being about 150 present. It was a harmonious session throughout, lasting not over fifteen minute: he entire slate was put through without any opposition, al- though it was rumored before the caucus that some might be expected. Soon _after 8 o'clock J. J. Corkery calleq the caucus to order, stating that he had been requested to do it in the absence of the chairman of the town committee. ~As chairman, Dr. J. J. Donohue was chosen, and after read- ing the call addressed the gathering, stating that the chief object of the meeting was the selection of candi- dates for consideration a week from Monday, and the naming of men who will carry the party to success. If na- tional and state conditions can be con- | sidered, as well as the mismanage- ment of local affairs, it Is easy to see that it portends a democratic victory. During the past administration the chief activity, he said, had been in raising salaries, which raise amounts to nearly a quarter of a mi'l. There is also much talk as to whether Norwich or the Consolidated road owns Franklin square, as it seem- ed as if Franklin square was the dumping ground of that company. and it is up to the city to see if there is not some redress. During the past vear $20,000 was expended for an in- creased water supply, but practically nothing was gained. It is probable that the matter of an increased sup- 160,060.00 | 2,359.00 | ply will come before the people during the coming administration, and it be- hooves you to see that the proper men are _put up. (Applause.) The pubiic is well informed on the mal-administration of the past vear, and it is up to the citizens to register a protest a week from Monday at the polls. Uuon motion of J. Coughlin, Thomas J. Kelly was chosen as clerk of the meeting, and when nominations for mayor were called for J. J. Cor arose and stated that it was his pr ilege two vears ago to nominate the democratic candidate for mayor. Then the party workers made every effort, but _on the counting the votes were against them and the administration was republican. Many causes were as- | signed for the defeat, but he believes the principal cause was that the dem- ocrats are a minority party, and the only way to win is to be united and gain the confidence of _independent voters by showing them the better ad- ministration, making it eeonomical and businesslike. For that purpo: the administration of town affairs wa handed over to the democratic part gnd the present town administration | is not playing for a record in polit but a work in a businesslike manner. he had in mind, he stated. d more ti and _careful ) the intere the city | other man.

' There are many things to come up including a revision of the charter and other reforms, and he is the proper man to direct those. He nominated Charles ¥. Thayer amidst loud and long applause, and he was unanimously chosen. Aldermen Named. For first alderman on the ticket John P. Murphy nominated Henry Ge- brath, stating that he has served the city faithfully in the council, on the police commission and also on the wa- ter board, while in town affairs he has been a most capable member of the boara of relief, being one on the board who could be approached. He was unanimously chosen. For the second place as alderman, S. Raymond in nominating F. Parker said that many times | it is hard to get a candidate who is interested in city affairs, but he de- clared that his candidate is working and will work for the interests of the ty, being a young man of integrity, ability and capability. He was chosen by acclamation. Four Councilmen Selected. As cowncilmen representing the four districts Henry Gebrath named Wal- ter W. Lang, Thomas J. Kelly nomin- | ated Charles E. B; Dr. E. J. Bro- | phy named John Barry, and Gilbert S. Raymond nominated John R. Fowler, all of whom were unanimousiy select- | ed. Treasurer and Clerk. Dr. P. H. Harriman stated that it is | sometimes good policy to recognize ef- ficient and popular and good public ser- vants, regardless of party affiliation. The democratic party has been gener- ous this way, and while first nominat- ed by the republicans and elected, yet he has never been a strong partisan, but really the people’s nomines. He he was chosen. For city clerk M. J. Coscoran stated that Stephen D. Moore had served most acceptably in_the past as clerk of the city, and, if chosen, will be clected in Junme. Mr. Moore was nom- inated. Sheriffs and Water Commissioner. | M. J. Curran namea Timothy A. | Carey ana J. J. Kirby nominated Gus- tay Thumm for the two ity sheriffs, d they were chosen. For water commissioner _Florence Delaney nominated John T. Ryan, and | he was selected. After empowering the city committtee to fill any vacancies the eaucus adjourned at 8.22. Sewage Disposal. | Some time ago injunction proceed | ings were instituted against the district | drainage board of Birmingham to pre- vent it from polluting the River Tame by discharging the sewage of that large population into it. It seems to be the fact that when the proceedings were begun the discharge into the stream | was heavily charged with pellution. But before the injunction was made | permanent disposal works were put in operation, which upon scientific tests | were shown to produce an effluent | purer than the stream. A contest was i i raised, however, on the issue whether the prohibition against the discharge of sewage, whether purified or not, should not be made absolute. The court held that to discharge purified sewage into the stream which actually | enhanced its quality was not illegal. | This view has just been affirmed by | the supreme court of judiciaries. This case has a two-fold instruetion | on the projects for keeping sewage pol- lution out of the streams of this coun- | try. The first and most important is | the demonstration of the practical suc- © of the purifying process. It has been claimed by experts that the sew- age disposal works of Paris discharse | into the Seine an effluent much purer 1 the water of the stream itself. The same fact is_scientifically shown at Birmingham. What Paris and .Bir- | mingham do with such success should -tainly be feasible for American —Pittsburg Dispatch. Must Be in Harmony.

The same bear, Mr. Lyons es- timated, would weigh 400 pounds in ordinary condition. The bear was trap- ! ped near Little pond in Woodford, but the animal carried both trap and clog, the latter a log of wood eight feet long, more than feur miles through the woods. The trapper finally came up with the bear about three miles east of Bennington. Even then it kept away from him for a half mile chase be- fore he could come up with it to shoot it. Two rifle bullets were necessary to close bruin's care The fur, contra- ry to the conditions that exist with nearly all other animals at this sea- son, was in prime condition. Later in the year the bears tear out so much hair in their progress through _the brush that the fur is useless.—Rutland News. ‘Why Not Make It Unai ous?

This is cheering, indeed. There are at present thirteen republicans and eight democrats from Ohio in the house, and it is beleved that at least eight demo- crats will be elected this year; so that sixteen out of twenty-one of the new Ohio members may reasonably be counted upon as antagonistic to “Uncle Joe” This is an excellent showing, though not quite as good as it ought to be.

There is a panic on among the 750 negro convicts at the penitentiary through a fear that Dr. B, Clark Hyde, recently convicted at Kansas City of the murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope, will soon be an inmate of the prison. They have heard enough about Dr.-Hyde to believe that he is a most wonderful man, who can ad- minister poison in such a secretive way_as to produce death without causing any suspicion to rest upon himself, and that is quite enough for any negro to know about a man whom he will dread even worse than death itself, These convict negroes belleve that if Dr. Hyde reaches the prison he will be assigned to the hospital, and in this thiey are mo doubt correct, for doctors who come to the prison are invariably _assigned to duty in the hospital. The negroes believe that Dr. Hyde as a hospital doctor could easily kill them off with some, subtle poison and the worl would be none the wiser thereof. Already they ere saying that no matter how sick they may become nothing can induce them to enter the hospital if Dr. Hyde is there. They say * they would rather die in their cells unattended than go to the hospital and be killed by a slow poison—Jefferson (Mo.) Despatch. Prime Mini r Botha. presiding officer’s post.
