Friday being the feast day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the annuai re- ception and profession of new mem- Bers into the Maidens of the Sacred Heart society took place at St. Mary” church at the evening services at 0 o'clock, and the attendance was large. To the strains of a march played b the organist, Mrs. Thomas J. Heal: the candidates and members of th society marched from their assembly rooms and occupied seats in the main aisle of the church. The ceremonies of the evening were in charge of the rector, Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice, who | made ‘known the conditions -of mem I bership in the society, and the cia numbering 30 new members, acknow ledged the same through their leader, Miss Gerirude Platt. The officers of the society who sisted the new members in receiving their medals and diplomas at the altar railing were the Misses Alice Driscoll, Margaret Purdon and Alice Hoar. Father Fitzmaurice addressed candidates and society on members in such an excellent society to which so many blessings are attached. He pictured their life to that of the ol- dier in the present w: for as the soldier trains to make a success of his_life in battle, so -they- must train and secure all the graces and blessings necessary to fight their greatest ene- my, sin. The singing by the society was of the usual high standard. . During benediction the solemn act of consecration dedicating the parish and the families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was offered by Father Fitzmau- rice. . Tn keeping with the Roman Catholic world in general, the feast day at both the morning and evening services at the St. Mary’s was on an impressive scale. the evening: Hymn, There is No Heart Like Thine; reception of candidates; To Thee, O Heart of Jesus; benedic- tion.

TAFTVILLE Grace Greenwood's Mothers’ Day Let- ter—Brief Mention. Miss Grace Greenwood, néw in France with the Yale mobile hospital unit, wrote the following letter to her mother from somewhere in France on Mothers’ day. She.is loud in her praise of the fine work being done among our boys by the Salvation Army and the beauties of France. The letter follows: May12. Mother, Dear:— ‘Today is Mothers’ day, and I hope the flowers -reached you safely. Every soldier and saiior in the A. E. F. will write to his mother, if possible, on this day—it is General Pershing’s wish. I think of you every day and pray for you every night. T'd like to be home with you, Mother. dear, but at this time my place is here. T want to do my share in this great war, whether at home or in France, and I am really glad that I am over here. Uncle Sam is mighty good to his nurses and the officers are very good to us, and the men at camps try their best to enter- tain us and keep us happy.

R Alderman Guy B. Dolbeare, chairman of the finance committee in the last common council, and ‘City Clerk Jere- miah A. Desmond were figuring up the appropriations to find out what tax rate the annual city meeting would have to lay. They had their figures completed in a few minutes and upon their report the meeting voted to lay a_city tax of 15 3-4 mills, enabling the ®meeting to adjourn after ‘a four hour session in the town hall, spent in considering the' recommendations made by the common council for the next year on which the council had recommended a 14 mill tax. The meeting adjournéd at 12.10 a. m. this (Saturday) morning with about 25 citizens left in the hall out of ‘the 1200 who were on hand when the meet- ing opened. Changes were made in a number of items. Appropriations of $1.600 for _m. | Golden street sewer and $1,710 for the Laurel Hill avenue sewer were V. out, the appropriation for macadam re- pairs was cut from $19,000 to $15,000, and the $4,000 for outside work in the public works department was cut to $3,000. The appropriation of $1,500 for the health department.had 3600 added to it for a sanitary inspector. ° The item of salaries for the police department recommended at a total of $37,820 was raised to $44,000. The sum provided for an increase of 50 cents a day in the pay of the policemen and the sum voted added 50 cents per day more to this. After voting $45,500 for the fire de- partment, this was later raised to $50,- 245 on a motion to make the pay of the firemen the same as the new pay for the policemen, $4 a day. Extras Are Mostly Cut Out. When consideration of the extras wags taken up the only ones that sur- vifed were the $500 for the play- eromy’s and the appropriation for the widening of West Thames street from High strect to the sehool house and pavement of the same to the ciiy line. This had been recommended at $18,- 350 but was raised to $24.000 after Civil Engineer S. B. Palmer had stated that was the lowest net sum for vich it was figured the work could be done. Ail the other items were voted as: recommended. Mavor Desmond's First Meeting. This was Mayor Jeremiah J. Des- mond’s first appearance since his elee- tion as the presiding officer in a city ! meeting and he was given applause as he entered the hall and advanced to the platform escorted by City Sheriff William Fitzgerald, who carried the ballot hox. The call for the meet- ing was read by Clerk Desmond. William H. Shields moved that the it’s the boys in the trenches who de- serve every bit of credit; but they are splendid ang are crazy to get back at the Huns again. One regiment has Dbeen in the village for a week resting. They are restless now and eager to get back again. They never forget the “Sulvation Army at the front. No mat- ter how bad the weather or what the| time of night, the Salvation Army peo- ple always have coffee and hot dough- nuts. T { you pass them in Norwich, Mother, will you put an extra quarter tin for me? They They do wonderful work up where they are needed most. Their services are given and the boys pay if they have the money, but zet | the foot just the same if they have no money. Every single boy is loud and sincere in his praises of their good work. Home-made doughnuts and pie mean a great deal to those boys. There are not many French people here. One little girl about three years old is very fond of one of the lieu- tenants in the village. His eyes filled with tears when he told me about her. The only English she can say is “Kiss ‘me quickly.” A letter came from Albert Cullen {this week. [t doesn’t seem possible %Lha[ he is really over here. I don't {like to have the boys wounded very badly, as we only keep very severe cases. I should like very much to see some boys that I know, but traveling is very hard up here and it is rather hard to find just where they are sta- tioned. 1 did meet some boys from Hartford. Some of their sisters I knew while in training. I got a nice long letter from Harriet and she couldn't send my shoes with- out a signed slip. I think you can send parcels now without a slip. Will you have Lucy send me six medium brown cap hair nets, without elasti¢. This a very windy hill and my hair doesn’t stay tidy very long. She can send them right with her letter. I am cov- ered with freckles and my neck is very brown, but I feel so well and love it up here so much. . It’s_beén a wonderful eight months and I have certainly enjoyed it. I { haven't had a leave yet. Of course ¥ want to spend it in England, but T haven't heard yet whether or not I can go. This is no time to think of leaves, as we are very busy. Our hill is going to look very nice when all the tents are up, and I do hope to do my very best for the boys. .The woods are beautiful, the trees are very green and the most beautiful. flowers—the wild lilies of the valley are very love- ly, and yesterday the chef, brought us a lovely bunch of lilacs. I thought of our lovely bush at our old house in Providence street. Have you many flowers growing now? I never have seen such beautiful ones as these over here are, and how you would love them. We have planted ivy, morning glories and nasturiiums around the tents and when they come up they will look very pretty. At the entrance to our hospital there is' an immense red cross on a white background—if the Huns fly over they can’t mistake it. 'The weeds are quite plentiful in the white part, and we had a great time yesterday picking the weeds out. At the end of an hour my back ached quite- a little. T am’a long distance from the ground. I zet the papers all right and we all enjoy the funny paper that Papa always encloses. My love to all at home, From GRACE. \ Brief Mention. John Dougherty of Fort Terry is home on a short furlough. .

Before any votes on appropriations were taken Town Counsel Pettis called attention to an item of $40,000 in the estimated receipts, this coming from the town. Mr. Pettis said the selectmen had no knowledge of how this amount had been estimated and they disagreed entirely with the estimate of what the city wouid re- ceive from the town. cials thought this amount entirely too high and Mr. Pettis warned that the obtaining of this sum from the town was a very doubtful proposition. The city could probably count on getting perhaps 322,000, but not anything near 8Speaks for Economy. W. opportune time to spend money large new improvements. conservative in our expenditures.

Sheridan presented a reso- lution making the, amount Councilman Edward Crooks mentioned that the recommendeq figure contem- plated a 50 cent raise in wages of the poli Judge John H.

Cary disputed Mr, Murphy's statement that the Chamber of Commerce wanted to put the city into debt and have appropriations of What they were ap- proving was a total of $61,440, which was $18,350 for West Thames street widening and pavement, $36,997.50 for North Main street improvement and $117,727 made. $4,224 for Laurel provement. He asked that no vote be taken in a way that would shut out fair discus- sion of these matters upon which there Hill itions and avenue were people présent to speak.

For " Extras. While agreeing in' Shields and-Mr, M) y in wiping out appropriations, Dr.-J, J, Donohue said he thw‘% it was a mistake not to ‘consider West Thames = street and North Main street, where work has al- ready been started. 5 Dr. Donohue moved and" indefinite postponement was made of $8,000 for two garbage motor trucks for . the public works department and $6,000 for one auto sweeper for the same de- partment. ‘Dr. Donohue then moved the appro- priation of $18,350 for widening. and pavement of West Thames street from High street to schoolhouse and pave- ment of same to the city line, saying that it was a commen sense measure and a wise expenditure. James C. Macpherson also favored the appro- priation, saying that the street was a disgrace to the city, and ordinary re- pairs would be a waste of money. The ‘state was willing to put $10,000 in the work. Mr. Murphy advocated omly ordin- ary repairs for this street that the tax rate might be kept down for the sake of thote who can ill afford to pay in- creases in their taxes. James P. Sheridan asked the ex- mayor to name any street in any city of Connecticut that was as bad as West Thames street. He commended the Thames Street improvement as the best done in Norwich in twenty- five years, but why stop when the job is only half done? Thames street is a Tace to any city; you can't drive with Mr. ing over the Giants’ Causway if you do. Don't build macadam roads but let's put this Thames street improve- ment through no matter what it costs. il Engineer S. B. Palmer said he wanted to make one statement hefore the vote was taken and that was that committee that this projected imurove ment can not be completed for less than $24.000 net. B I nnis, a resident the Thamesville district, declared that West Thames street was the worst en- trance to any city in the state, and he knew all the cities that had been men- tioned. Mr. Shields spoke against the ap- propriation on the grounds of keeping the tax down and after one or ' two more brief remarks the voters began to call for the question as they seem- ed to have heard the matter discussed enough. T. W. Cary moved an amendment to raise the appropriation ‘to $24,000, this sum to be paid off in five annual pay- ments. A viva voce vote was doubted by Mr. Shields and Mayor Desmond ecalled for 2 rising vote which showed that the $24,000 appropriation was carried as the chairman had ruled in the first place. For Greeneville Streets. John Barry moved approval of $26,- 997.50 for widening of North Main street from Cantral avenue northerly and pavement of same from Tigsth street to the city line ($24,777.50) and pavement of same from Golden street to Second street ($12,200). Advice from Dr. Donohue that the southerly end of this improvement only be taken up this year brought some lively rejoind- ers from Mr. Barry and Joseph H. Henderson, the latter saying that un- less the upper end of North Main street were improved you might as well cut out the Catholic cemetery for they would all be buried before they get to the cemetery. The holes are all dug in the street now. Al you've got to do is to fill them up. P. F. Bray claimed that it was use- less to vote for all these appropriations for vou can't fet men to do the work. Civil Engineer Palmer agreed with Mr. Bray about the difficulty of se- curing help and thought it would be advisable to postpone the upper part of North Main street improvement. The motion was made by Dr. Don- ohue to make the appropriation and pay in installments for the next seven vears. ¥. W. Cary made an amendment to build the road from Golden street to econd street, only, stating that it was |improbable that either labor or ma- teria] could be secured for the whole of the work this vear and Joseph H. Henderson settled the whole matter by moving to lay it on the table which done. Alderman Waters moved to indefin- itely postpone the apopropriation of 4 for new macadam road for Laurel Hill avenue from Crown Hill post south fo city line. The matter was indifinitely postponed after some dis- cussion. though he realized, he said, that there was no chance for the appropria- tion of $21,000 for two pieces of auto pumping apparatus for the fire depart- ment, Resident Manager John F. Rog- ers of the United States Finishing company spoke briefly, saying that he wished to have it remembered that one'| manufacturer had raised his voice against having the city zo along with the inadequate fire protection that it had at present. On motion of former Mayor Mur- phy, the previous vote on the appro- priaticn for salaries for the firemen was reconsidered and the amount raised as stated to make their daiiy wage rate the same as the police- men. H. M. Lerou impressed the meeting with the need of repairs to the West Main street macadam and a vote was passe dthat it was the sense of the meeting that a sum not exceeding $4500 should be used for this work out of the total voted for macadam repairs.
