Why don't the Common Council con-
tract With the gas company Tor Lighting
the lamps on every night OF the year.
/ TO rely OF the moon Lighting our elty,
may be economical, but IL Is not pracLl-
eal, and Is perfectly ridiculous IN clsv
the SIZE OF ours. Then when the gas =

earlier; Just the tune, when Tor safety
not mentioning cOnven lence, the lights

The writer has travelled our streets
quite early IN the evening anu had the
experience OF seeing every gas light on
the street turned out about q block IN
advance Of him, 50 that he was left IN
Egy ptian darkness.
IL We need lights IN our streets at all
We need them every night ID the year,
and all night az that. In the city or
Glasgow, the city not only lights the
streets and alleys, but the private courts
| and all the common stairs IN tenement
houses. A writer III last months Century
SAYS this ls done there as measure Of
great humanity as well as a police pre-
caution OF the highest value. A light is
| equal TO a constable. The illumination
OF the dark pass & = has most marked
/ effect in diminishing crlme." SO let
our new Mayor and Common Council
turn over a new leaf IN this respect. We
are grown 20 be q city, and 10 more a
| country village. Let us do away with
this absurd and dangerous plan of fol-
| lowing the moon calendar in lighting
the street lamp. Let the lights burn
all night. Let us have light all the
time and plenty of il; so that We can
travel our streets with convenience and
safety every night, and at all times OF
the night. Then will the midnight rob-
/ Der, the housebreaker, and the thugs
and evil-doers of all kinds have 10
mend their ways, or move TO other

rather than light.

That Car Coductor.

What stupid fellow he is! He looks
TO his horses, but rarely to his would be
passengers. In Chicago or New York
the car drivers are wlde-awake, they
are on the continual look out, right and
left, 10 pick up passengers. Perhaps
they are more experienced. But here
one has got to yell his throat sore, or
run OFT his legs, to stop car or reach
one.
The wrlterh has often seen the car pass,
the horses on keen trot, right by lidIes
waiting to get aboard, the driver totally
obllylOus TO the presence of any one. .
Then, rather than chase after the car,
the person returns to the sidewalk and
proceeds on foot. This is often true
about Campau Place. There, usually,
are many people waiting for the cars of
different lines. II IS sort of Il depot.
Yet cars will go sweeping around its
curves and on upon their way, the
driver whipping his horses into a fast
trOt, with never an eye about him for
the waiting passenger. This is an oc-
currence OF every hour of the day at
that point. SUCH drivers should be dis
charged at once. The railroad COM
pany loses many nickel every day
from such stupidity.
Then, that car diver again. Why
don't ne use a little common sense IN
the matter of stopping at street cross
Ing& lt Is proper to stop at the las
crossing, but at some places, especially
at Campau Square, where the streets
intersect, the space large and the cross
ings not we'll defined, the rule could re-
cclve a more liberal construction than
It does. Why make old men and
women, cripples, women with babies
and heavy market baskets, walk two or
three hundred feet, through the mud
and over the rough pavement, to board
a car? Use little sense. Stop in con-
venlent places. when il endangers no
person or violates no ordinance.

DIR LINDSLEY ON LA GRIPPE.
Tho Disease disappearing From
Connecticut.

The Disease disappearing From
Connecticut.
DIR c. A. Lindsey of New Haven. sec
Rotary of the state board of health, in
speaking of the grippe, said that it seem
ed to be gradually dying out in this
state.
DIR Lindsey will probably make re-
port to the state board of health con-
corning the disease, in the fall. He says
the disease is not considered very fatal,
although it left the system of the victim
in a very depressed condition so that
pneumonia, which often followed, was
attended many times with fatal results.
In Connecticut the disease appeared
the last week in December. and the dis
ease overspread the state almost stimuli
taneously. When it first appeared a
physician was usually called but later
In very many cases the patient was
nursed without the .aid of a physician
The people, learning that the visitation
was not very fatal, were not afraid of it
a. they were. Tho disease seemed to
have . different characteristic in differ
Ont localities.
He could not just say how long the
influenza would last. but believed that
it was about over. 1t did not seem to be
contagious from one person to another
but its source of reproduction was with
out doubt in the atmosphere.

Making An Effort to secure Court
Accom- odat ion. in Waterbury.
At meeting of the board of trade
last evening, the following resolution
offered by r. B. Rice, was passed:
Whereas, New Haven county has a
surplus of nearly $1,000, of which we
have contributed large sum, and in
view of the fact that the superior court
room in Waterbury is in poor cOndi-
ton and that we have furnished court
room for number of years free to the
county; also that the court room is a
public necessity and convenience to the
taxpayers of this part OF the county, 1t Is
Resolved. that we request our repre-
sentatives, John O'Neil Jr. and ii. l..
Welsh. to call meeting of the senators
and representatives of New Haven
county and make statement of the
facts to them, and request an apprOpria
ton of part of this surplus 10 be paIenl-
ed under the supervision eff the county
commissioners in providing a new court
room in our City hall building.
Representative O'Neill says, that there
is no means by which they can legally
Get the New Haven county representa-
build Il Jail or make repairs and there
was not sufficient money to
build it. why then the county COM
missioncrs could call them together
for the purpose of laying a tax. The
law is so fixed that representatives meet
bisnnially and make appropriations for
two wears. | think we will have to wait
until next January and there is no doubt
but that our request for an appropra
ton to repair our court room viii be
granted.
At meeting of the New Haven

lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That the various boards of
trade and chambers of commerce in this

Another ENCOURAGING Letter From
Senator Hawlsy.
President F. B. Rice of the board of
trade to-day received the following
letter from Senator ]. r. Hawley, in
relation to the public building.
SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, January, %, 1890.
Dear Sir: learn that while tho bill
providing for public building at Wa
terbury has been favorably considered
by the committee, it has not yet been re-
ported to the senate. However, Water
bury is not an exception. All bills for
public buildings are being held back by
the committee until a Subcommittee
has presented for adoption clause
which is to be attached to every bill
pending. The clause is to provide for a
commission to select site for the loca-
fore the selection of the site has caused
much trouble. 1t was left to an agent
of the architects office, who may or
may not have selected the most popular
site. His report would DO approved by
the supervising architect. AS soon as
the result was known contending dele
cations would appeal to the secretary,
and the final decision invariably would
breed dissatisfaction. 1t is proposed to
do away as far as possible with this I'M
satisfactory method.
have spoken to the members of the
subcommittee and learn that it is in
tended to report the matter very soon.
The bills will then be taken up in the
order they were disposed of in commit
tee, and probably will meet with but
little opposition in the senate, if any.
Yours truly,
J. R. HAwLEY.
