With regard to the housing problem the letter says: Many favorable eomments have beer made of the exhibition of pictures anl plans of houses recently built in Nor- wich for $5.000 and a few new nouses ware started as a resud.

It guarantees ef- ar ficient use of the funds by careful su- pervision and audit of the individual budgets by a.responsible board. It avoids duplication of effort and many demands on the public. It gives every ‘tizen an opportunity to help and makes it eonvenient for the donors to give once instead of many times. It unifies the soul of the community by breaking fown selffishness, narrowness, prejudice. ind awakens 2 general broad-minded peart imterest in the things that affect the welfare of the c'ty as a whole. 1t co-operative soliciting—co-operative giving—co-operative supervision, The vlan s in effect in nearly sixty cities throughout the United States, MONTVILLE MAN I8 HMELD FOR OBSERVATION Willam H.
