 The number of people here who be- lieve in upholding good law and good order equals that of our list of voters and includes many who have never be- come citizens.

 This community is expectant. While conservative We are eager for some thing to take place which will give US better standing in the commercial world. We look to some outsiders for help as there is not capital enough here to go ahead without assistance from abroad. In years past 8 few manu- featuring enterprises were started here it is true, which did not prove benefit to the town, but there Is plenty of work yet to be done in the industrial line, and this place is a good manufacturing cen. ter and money should find its way here The town must grow in the next few years.
 A cellar is being built half mile south on Soth Main street, Plantsville for dwelling house which is to be moved onto it from another locality.

 When an electric street railway i doing a business which is paying a fai investment, a ulestion may arise wheth CT it is best to change the fare or d. anything but goI on as usual. The cleo tric road here may after a time hay lines on several of the principal streets and the question of changing tn fare may, be discussed by the public If the line is extended it may be though 1 best to change the fare from that o five cents to eight, or take an opposlt l course and reduce the fare instead o increasing it, and make it three cent
 instead of five. With two additiona
 cars and the line extended and wit
 additional motor engines, it would b
 found that three cent fares would mak
 it a popular road.s Three cent silve
 pieces are not much in circulation nov
 and that would argue that three cent
 is not popular prid de to set, but chang
 could easily be made and no doubt un der the new price the conductors woul be kept busy.
