DOWN THE VALLEY.


 With Those of TOrringtOn.
 By the annual report of the borough of Torrington it is shown that the police ex- pensss for last year were only SS2S. 62. Our police expense was nearly S5 ,000. But they did there what we will find a good deal of was done here up to April l, had their police work performed by constables and threw the expense on the town. The rough element that often comes here from Waterbury is what causes A big police ex- pense in this borough. We notice also that while their whole expense for rum jag the borough is less than $10, 900, they Sre still accommodating a debt to pay intere st or. . The taxpayers of Naugatuck to-day are laying in store much trouble for their de- scendants in doing the same thing.
