Kent CIuh Lectures.

The Second Lecture of the COurse-Dr.
 BarbOnr on ssThe BenevOlence of the
 LRvvss-An Interesting Discourse.
 The second of the ninth course of lectures under the auspices of the Yale Kent club was delivered at the Common Pleas court room last evening by Dr. Barbour, of Yale There was quite large attendance and the instruct i've and interesting lecture was listened to with marked attention. Among the many thoughts expressed by the lecturer were these: To disturb the benevolent affection of the law is to shake the foundation of the earth. Even in it's severity the law is merci. ful. fhe acquainting of one's self with the laws of things is the getting of an education. He who can go the fsrthest down for rule, or up for principle, or athwart for precedent, is the best counsellor. Law al ways seeks to defeat an unlawful legality It makes morals possible, for the very pres ence of power is elevating. It's usefulness cannot be measured. By law our streets are lighted, our sidewalks cleaned from snow, our persons and property protected, oul children taught, our poor fed and clothed: There is no sham in law. Each for all and all for each is its motto. Of law it has been justly said, stAll things on earth do her hon. age her voice is in the harmony of the world, her seat is in the bosom of God"
 The third lecture of the course will be given on Wednesday evening, March IA, by Prof Phelps. The subject was not an uounced

 What is Proposed.
 The subject of better accommodations for the courts in the County Court House was considered yesterday afternoon. There were present County Commissioners Baldwin, Perry and Jacobs, Representatives Law of New Haven, Wright of Branford and Downs of Derby representing the county representa- lives in the Legislature, and Simeon E. Bald win, Lynde Harrison and John w. filling representing the New Haven County Bar. MT. Downs was chosen chairman and Mir. Law secretary. After Mir. Wright stated how the county representatives came to be ap- pointed, MT. Jacobs made statement showing the need of more room for county purposes. In conclusion MT. Jacobs said that he would recommend the purchase of the adjoining property to the north, 6Ox200, on which longs to the Hoadley estate and the price asked for the land and the buildings on it is $67, 1000.
 Mir. filling said that the Supreme court room on the third floor was so far up that to reach it an elevator was needed. He thought the Law school would in time need all that floor. Even now the valuable library con- nected with the school was cramped for room. It is composed of some 5000 books and was worth about $40, 900.
 Professor s. E. Baldwin and Hon. Lynde Harrison also urged the necessity of more room. MT. Harrison thought 1925, 900 would erect the building and would recommend lay ing half-miI tax.
 MT. filling concurred in these figures. He wanted resolution passed by the Legislature authorizing the condemnation of all the land required, and that building be erected d1arge enough for two court rooms. A tour of the court building was then made for purposes of inspection

Some More Pertinent Questions.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 Could a volunteer committee of men de- positors be appointed by the depositors of Townsend's bank to distribute the money new on hand? Is this the result of taking the advice of the receivers few years ago to await for ''rise" in the funds The re- port in the paper about the statement seemed cautious. On reading that account it might have occurred to the depositors that if Townsend's bank was really dead. might it not be voted to take the funds left, and build monument to it's memory in the Green in the shape of a fine fountain, in which case any man passing may be pointed out as a public benefactor and donor to his city?

Sewerage Bonds.

Last evening the Board of Finance were in session in the Mayors office to consider plans for issuing $15O, 900 in sewerage bonds. A vote to issue these bonds was passed by the last Court of Common Council and bill giv- ing the city this power is now before the Legislature. Corporation Counsel Driseoll met the committee so as to get their views in regard to the matter, that he might pre- sent the matter intelligently to the legisla- tive committee
 Mayor Lewis said he talked with several financial gentlemen about the matter and he thought that the views-of Governor English were the best His proposition was to issue the bonds payable in sums of $15,o00 each year, the first payment to be made iu ten years after the bonds are issued, so that the whole amount would be paid in twenty years after the bonds were issued. The proposi- tion was approved by the Board and the rate of interest was fixed at per cent. It was thought the bonds would sell readily at that rate.
 The amount asked for sewers already or dered by the Court of Common Council last year was $9O, 1000, and this sum was cut down by the Board of Finance to ESQ., ,000. The matter comes up for hearing at Hartford some day this week.
