DANBURY AWAKE.

"a Novel Plan to Combine the High
School With the New Court House.
The High school committee have I'M
der consideration novel plan to pro-
vide Danbury with aeW and much
needed High school building.
The plan is to combine the High
school with the proposed new court
house, which it IS expected win be
built here. This would see,n a capital
plan, as it will provide ample room for
the needs of the High school at less ex-
pense than would be required for the
erection of a building for this purpose
alone. and If the plan is carried out a
building will be erected wihic will be an
ornament to the city.-Danbury News.

James Montgomery Bailey, the fa-
nous "Danbury News Man. has ae-
cenutated that old town In Connecti-
cut, and has been the means Of giving
1t a world wide reputation. During
his ifetime, which closed all too soon,
he prepared extensive historical notes
and memoranda, covering a complete
history Of the beginning, growth and
progress Of. Danburys 1t became the
ardupus and well appointed task Of one
of his friends, Mrs. Susan Benedict
Hill, who is better known in Hampton
and Portsmouth as Mrs. F. Alden Hill,
to cpllate, revise and All In the result Of
his labors; and she has produced a very
interesting town history, that will
stand well In all the libraries among
the historical collections which have
hecome quite feature with book gath
erers Of late years. IT is a large, royal
octave volume. of 5S3 pages, literally IL
lustrated and handsomely printed.
Ihe frQntlsplece is a me picture OF MT.
Bailey. A newspaper editor plays his
little part in the affairs Of his times,
passes away, and the world forgets him
ere his generation has gone by. The
historian lives and grows in the notice
of coming generations. So will Bailey,
the historian, be ever before the public
long after Bailey, The Danbury News
Man. has been laid on the shelf and

success will make her name ever to be
remembered by all who may in the

qnires that the bankers paya monthly Ii
cense of $2 upon every $1,000 of capital. This
produces revenue of $285 per month, or
from $40 to $50 per bank. In their petition
the protestants claim that they are now
burdened with heavy war tax, and that
while the private and state banks are CON-
PEELED to pay license, the national instdtu-
tons are exempt. This, they claim, is un-
just to them. Councilman Grider was IN
favor of passing a recommendation granting
the petition, but Mr.. Toll entered am obJec-
tion, calling attention to the revenue which
would by this action be cut off As the ap-
portionments for the present fiscal year have
already been made upon the basis of the
estimated income, such action would leave
deficiency of some S35OO to be made up
from some other source. 1t was finally de-
cided to allow the mater to rest for another
week.

SELECTING A PARK
Commissioners Take Trip Into the
Southeast Section

Accompanied by Mayor Snyder and Coun-
Gilman Grider, Messrs. iced and Jones of
the park commission, with Superintendent
Carey and Secretary Mendenhall, made
trip of inspection to the proposed sites for
a PARK in the Sixth ward yesterday after
noon Some weeks ago the council opened
bids for tract of land to be converted into
park for THE people Of the southeast section
Of the city Seven offers were received. As
the bond issue to provide for securing the
park had been $4,000, there was remarka-
BILE unanmity on the question of price, near
ly every bidder wanting the whole thing for
his land, whether it was ten, fifteen or TWEEN
ty acres. The bids were referred TO the park
commission for recommendation of accept
ance, and it was for the purpose of viewing
the land and coming to some agreement that
the trip of yesterday was made.
'rhe first stop was made at the junction
of San Pedro street, Stanley avenue and
Jefferson street, where triangular piece OF
land of some twelve acres is offered by Mr..
Raiey This property lies advantageously
and seemed to be favorably considered by
the board. Driving down Stanley avenue
short distance the fifteen-acre property Of
fered by Pallett is reached. Tins is
long, narrow strip on the south side OF
the street, not running clear through to the
next street Close by is twenty-acre piece
offered by Boettcher.
On Mckinley avenue, north of the other
offers, is a twenty-acre lot offered by Dan
Mckinley at the same price as all the rest
$4,000 Two other offers, of nineteen and a
half acres ard ten acres, by Messrs. Martz
and White are situated in this locality. Com
ing out ON to Central avenue, beautiful spot
is found to have been offered in the old
Central park, piece of eight and half
acres, with many improvements already
made, ccr'sisting of orange, pepper, palm and
other trees, shrubs, etc. The great draw
back to the acceptance of this piece, how
ever was stated to be the fact that the title
to the property is already claimed to be
vested in the city and is being contested IN
the courts. The price asked is extremely
low, $45OO, being the only bid below the
linft
Some years ago. before that section was
embraced within the city limits, tract was
laid out around this park and map showing
the dedication of the land to the county was
filed. The fact that the park was donated
and had been accepted as pleasure ground
was used to draw prospective purchasers Of
lots Now the right of the city to the park
is questioned and the matter is in the
courts for adjudication. at the same time it
is offered for sale to the municipality. On
the homeward drive the matter was inform
alIv discussed, but no action viii ke
tr'r'r rrtil the meeting of the board next
THURSDAY.

CHRISTMAS MAIL
Postofiice and Sub-Stations Crowded
With Patrons

The postoffice is the busiest place in the
city these days. The ordinary force is aug
mented by seven temporary clerks for the
holiday season and all are kept ncostantly
busy. A special clerk is seated in the cor
ridor weighing packages as fast as he can
handle them. A double file of people reach
ing to the door, advance slowly to the table
to have their parcels weighed rapidly, and
then, Step by step, reach the stamp window
and then as slowly get to the mailing
boxes. The past week has been only a
beginning, and the prospects are that there
will be much greater increase of business
tre first part, at least, of this week. A shmi-
lar rush exists in the registry department
in the basement, where people stand patient
ly- waiting for the little slip of paper that
assures them of the safe transmission OF the
precious packages to friends in the east or
across the water.
Reports of similar rush of business come
in from sub-stations throughout the city.
Postmaster Mathews is kept busy answering
telephone messages for the largest sized
sacks to accommodate the inordinate
amount of Christmas mail.
