LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Do We Want a Fire District Editor of Ne,ps

Editor of Ne,os
 Some years ago many of our good citizens were shocked at the proposition of few enthusiastic people to organize Village Improvement Association for Canaan, and predicted failure from the start But time has demonstrated that this organization has been a success. Nearly 20 years have gone by since the organization of this society and our viii lage more than doubled in population, more than 100 new houses have been erected, churches, school, public build- ings, hotels, all new or remodeled in modern style during this time; no old rookeries are to be found in our village Now the questions which some of our citizens are thoughtfully considering are: has this society outlived it's useful ness, or has the village outgrown the society, and do we want borough or fire district, which, under the present law, is practically the same if the citi- zens so desire?
 My idea is that we should make haste slowly in this matter, and give all par ties interested full opportunity for dis cussion and hearing.
 The question is asked, where would yon begin or end your boundaries; your village is somewhat scattered, particu- larly some of the new sections? Of course there would be objections to any line that might be proposed. Some would be found just inside the ''Taxa- ble Kingdom" others just outside-the door closed.
 Suppose line should begin at the N E. corner of Mir E D. Lawrence's ] house lot running westerly in line of | highway to the milk shop, thence northerly in line of R. k to the Pease crossing, thence westerly to the Black berry river, thence southerly in line of said river to Paul's bridge, thence northeriy in line of highway to Church street R R. crossing, thence easterly in line of P & R. R. R. to depot junction, thence southerly in line of Housatonic R. R. to F. Hitchcock's southwest cor ner, thence easterly to stake on Church hill, thence northerly to Mrs R. Van | Deusen's southeast corner, thence northerly in line of Peirce & Freeman's wood road to P. & R. R. R., thence westerly in line of R. R to highway crossing, thence northerly in line of highway to southeast corner of the Watson homestead Qot) thence in line of highway to place of beginning. Un- doubtedly some will say you have taken in too much territory. In reply we would answer that we are to suppose that our village growth is not yet com pleted and while no boom is expected or desired, healthy growth in the future may be expected.
 Now We want our sidewalks in sum- mer and winter, and our street lamps and shade trees, and some economical arrangement with head to it in case of | fire. A tax of two mills on the dollar yearly ought to provide a sufficient revenue, and would not be burden when we take into consideration the l benefits to be denied. JR.R Canaan, Conn, Dec. 10, 1894.
