Norwich Is to congratulated upon the resuit of the meeting of Thurs- ‘my evening, and in the abie leader- ship of Alderman Ely the people man- ifested the utmost confiden: It was apparent anough to the voters hat the figures which made & pipe line to Gardner luke and the small dnmages Mkely to be claimed over $100,000 greater than the cost of the development of the great Pease brook tershed, that there must have been wn error made in the estimates. It was also a surprise to the citizens that the water board and the execu- ‘ive comnittes should have decided the | question without kmowing anything about the cost, since Mayor Thayer sald that the data was not completed untfl December 3th, the day of the mgeting. Al of the citizens whe took part in Adrawing out the faets and enlighten- ing the voters certainly deserve the thanks of the taxpayers. It must be recognized that Mr. O. E. Ryther was of signal service to the eity, amd his plan may prove suf- clent to meet every requirement of Norwich for years to come without any further outlay. Never before in the history of the water works was there such a drouth as has been experienced for the past three vears, or such a shortage of wa- er—130,000,000 galloms—at the open- ing of a drouth year. Dr. Stark's Jordan brook scheme is a velation, and with the Gardner lake wmi Stony brook Peck Hollow brook privileges open there \ppears to be no resson why Norwich should require Pease brook in a cenm- tury and a half.

As generally wensible and acceptable a# the prestient's messaxe was in all itn purts, 1t In claimed that it had o bent part and that was the plea which the president registgred for a simplf- fleation of judicisl piocedure and the expoditing of final judgment in court cngen. The increnme of court exponses through long deluys checks the man of moderate means from entering the courts in defence of his rights, while it prompts the grasping rich to feel perfactly safe in invading the rights of the common classes, hence this r ommended change would be both a protection as well as an advantage to the people. This restoration of the logal balance would certainly be of wuch wide and lasting benefit to the masses that the gain eannot be estl. mated In money it would represent so mense a wum BALLINGER, AS SEEN IN HIS RE- PORT. | 1t hes to be admitted that Secretary Ballinger appears well in his anunual report, which Is now before the coun- try. He handles his depariment on paper in o most superior manner and whows by his review of the year's work und his recommendations that be has [ the affairs of the department of the | interior well In hend. Among other things he says ‘New or amendatory legislation re- specting our public lands should be direct, wimple, effestive and relate principally to the proper form of dix- position of the withdrawn lunds—wn- terpower sites, oll lands, coal lands, and rights of way over public lands. “A# has been shown, the unappro- priated puble lands of the public-land states and territories amount to about 2,000,000 acres and, as compared with the private lands In these various #tates, are w wmall percentage of the territory thereof, and the federal gov- ernment should not undertake or as- sume the entire burden of the con: vation of the natural resources of the states in which they are situated, for has Dheen demonstrated that the thesn questions in a large measure, as In shown by the legislation effectuat- fng these purposes in states like M sachusetts and Washington, at the ex- tremitics of our country The secretary reports marked ad- vances in administrative methods and @Ml y within the department dur- ing the year. He. also reports that the recommendations made from time to time by the committees appointed ut the instance of the president to suggest economies and changes to im- prove the service are being put Into effect wherever existing law will per- mit, without waliting for legislation.” The consensus of opinion appears to be that it is many years since a pecretary of the interior has produced such a live and generally acceptable report. EDITORIAL NOTES. Nothing new in the message, not even new nationalism, says the Atlan- ta Constitution. The store windows of Norwich in ef- fect just now are & splendid exposition of Christmas goode. The Atlanta Constitution boasts of home-raised bacon that never danced to Meat trust mus Perhaps the mayor could have called out the National guard, and how kind and thoughtful it was of him mnot to do it The Sugar-trust is very particular about its Sunday school affairs, if it §s ings. When the children are counted for the Christmas tree gifts, there does not seem to be any indications of race | suicide. %00d water, as the Amos lake and the Aroad brook suggestlons show; ihere I8 no reason why the Rose of New England should not get an in- axhaustible sxpply of potable water it the mest reasonable price. The Hal Brothers, Who have the only eladm upon Trading Cove brook, 1ook & most consf@erate view of pub- ic neces and were ko generous in heir treatment of the proposition of the ofty to take water from there that they deserve public thanks. Norwich now knows where she is it; and the prompt action of the au- horities will make an end of present | listress. CENSUS AND APPORTIONMENT. he final census fgures will be giv- p out from the census office Satur- und the house committee on the #us will meet in the afternoon to \s yet no basis has been agreed upon, it 220,000 for each member seems to It is sa¥ some of the leaders of the house want this matter to go over un- 1l next session, but the committee is teterniined to bring In & bill, and this | will probably be done. If the figures are placed at 220,000, | “‘onnecticut i sure to retain five mem- | vers, as the final figures at the cen- wus office show that the state has a | Aal population of 1,114,756, pared with 908,420 in 1900 and 745.25% 1850, The increase between 1900 d 1910 is therefore 206,336 or 227 per cent, while the increase in the ten presvious vears was 162,182, or 21.7 r cent. as com- MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS. it is clear euough tNat there are iany munieipal problems that the commiseton form of government can- a0t gdem to improve. One 1x how to coilect the taxes of the:trick-rich and the negligent poor. The city annufled $1,674,889 which are upon the tax books but uncollectible because of nsolvency, poverty, death or change of restience. This looks big where it repfesents the cost of half a dozen vears of sdministration, although it may represent as mmall 4 per cent. as iittle cities are obliged to abate for the same causes. Too many people regurd taxes as they do dostor's bills, to be dedged, if possible, or to be paid only when they must be. Boston has our sympithiss.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Complete Vindication. Mr. Editor: We have had our city meeting and data presented—results { unanimous. I was very glad to know Dr. Patrick Cassidy's conscience was clear, for 1 have had a feeling that way ‘down in his heart he might be sorry for his part in helping us to go dry; also, on every occasion that pre- sented itself to jibe the undersigned about vindication. T would also like to call the mayor's attention to the pas- ges In holy scripture: “With what éasure you meet it shall be meassured unto you again” and about “Casting your bread upon the waters and after many days it shall return to you again” It looks as if the dignity of the office of mayvor had fled, and the idol of the past ten years had fallen, and that the court of common council that he called jackasses, and the board of water commissioners of the long @go, were being vindicated in full measure.
