 Editor of the DEMOCRAT: s
 Dear Sir: The extension of Washington street is being agItated in such a manner at present, that people are beginning to believe that the inconvenience they have been obliged to put up with so long will at an early date be remedied by the in- coming board of common council. Two petitions have already been acted upon by the city, yet no relief has been given. Those petitions were mostly signed by property owners along the extension, who claim that the assessments were exorbitant These petitions that are in circulation now dld not start with those persons, but are the result of a meeting called by a num- Der of taxpayers living on the Abrigador. in Brooklyn and in the eastern part of the city. At this meeting it was argued that extensive improvements have been made in all other parts of the clty and that it is time, after waiting over thirty years. that were recognized as part of the tax payers The petition was circulated in all parts of the city and is extensively signed by busi. ness men and taxpayers who say that such an improvement Is a public neees- sity, and should have been made twenty years ago." All we ask of the clty fathers IS, that they inv .sgate the cause of our petition and consider the hardship W, have been obliged to go through because of the lack of interest of those who should have been our representatives. but have taken us in. Wear determined to keep our eyes open in this matter and to watch carefully the actions of those who pretend to be our frien6s;t that We may know where if necessary, to attach the blame in the future,

INVESTIGATE. Kelly Says

let us have an investigation nf the fire de- partment and place the blame where it be- longs. Th-re is no doubt from what saw at o'clock last Friday morning that there is something wrong in the Waterbury Fire department With only two lines of hose taking care of the rear of the Lawlor and Platt blC cks (where the fire was fisrce) that are connected with buildings up to Abbott avenue and with all the buildings facing on North Main street from Dexter to new Odd Fellows hall, showed a state of affairs that seems to me ought to bs in- vestigated by the common council. Noth- Ing saved those buildings but the snowfall of that day. Will the honorable board of common council appoint committee of five to investigate?
 Call in every member of the fire depart ment and find out if they were present at the fire or no. If not, for what reason.
 Call in the officials of the department and find out why better protection was not furnished in the rear of these two buildings where the fire csusd the greatest destruction.
 Call ID the fire commissioners and And out the reason of their recent secret pro- ceedings in regard to the disastrous Are.
 IT you find that the volunteer depart ment is to blame let us have paid one at once. IL not to blame. ''go up higher"
 If you find the officials were to hlame, let us know it. If not. ''go up higher"
 Call in the commissioners and nnd out if they have furnished the present depart ment with necessary facilities for pro- tectlon against lire and means of waking the fremen at night which is one of the troubles
 After such investigation the city govern ment will then be able to vote intelh- gently on questions pertaining to improve ments in the fire department.
 One of the greatest losses to the people that this fire might have caused would have been the destruction of 1.400 barrela of old wheat four that makes vhitsr bread, lighter bread and the bread will keep moist longer than that made from new.
