COLONEL DoHERTY PLEASED.

Addresses Congratulatory Letter
 to the Second Regiment.
 Colonel Doherty has addressed a con- gratulatory letter to the officers and men of the Second regiment, in which he says; quarters the last company drill report discloses the magnificent average per centage of 96.61! Your commandant hastens to congratulate you on this glorious record, the largest ever reached in any one month by any regiment of battalion in the state, excepting the last drill month of last season, May 1890, when our own dear old regiment reach ed 96 s1.
 "Let me call your attention to the figures; also the four months of this seasen just finished. You will at once discover that we are pressing nobly forward. We hold a record that should stir the blood of every man on the regi- mental roster. Let us look at it. Season of 1SS990: November 93. .66, December 93.92, January 93.79, February 95.02, March 96.OQ,- April % s5s s58. May a6- -Ssii.-> Season of 1S90.S1 November 94.65, December 95.34, Jan uary 96.55, February 96.61. Each month this season has gradually in- creased over the preceding month also over the corresponding month of last season.
 [" Let us be up and doing. We can and we will. Two or three companies are short in membership; let this trouble be made good during the month. Captains, appeal to your men. They hold the fair name of the Second in their keeping, and with your work well and properly done each member of your command will come to your company's rescue and your company will be one of the thirteen organizations to place our far name at point so high that years will be required to reach it, to say nothing of the possibility of our placing our flag. at such an elevation that we will never fear as to its being soiled by the touch of others. Come boys, I leave this matter entirely in your hands,"

 Suggestions OGered Bya Well Known ::'Tnxpayer who Is Not Member of
 tho Committee.
 A DEMOCRAT reporter happened to drop into a place this morning where the subject of charter revision was being discussed, and quietly listened to the arguments of a well known tax payer upon the section defining the duties of the board of public works. He favored a board of public works, consisting of four members, who should have complete control of the police, fire, water and street departments, and the collection of taxes. The members should be we'll paid, but should be ex- pected to work nine or ten hours a day, the same as ordinary people. In this way there would be considerable saving and the work would be done better than it is at present, and at less cost to taxpayers. So far as the speaker had read the proposed charter, as many complications would arise under its provisions as at present. The proper way, he thought, would be for the committee to obtain copies of the charters of thirty or forty cities in different parts of the country, and secure for Waterbury the best points ot the one under the provisions of which the best results and the lowest taxation are secured.
