New Superintendent of the Sunday
 School.
 At the recent quarterly meeting of the Sunday school board of Trinity M. E. church, D. $. Swift, superintendent of the Sunday school, presented his res ignation and left no alternative but a regretful acceptance. He has served the school faithfully and acecptably for six years and felt that he had earned a respite from official duties and was anxious to return to the ranks as a teacher. The expressions of regret and surprise over this determination were numerous and genuine and MT. Swift goes out of office carrying with him the largest appreciation for his work and devotion and the best wishes of all his fellow-laborers.
 The unanimous selection of the board of MT. Robert I. Couch as the new sr- perintendent came utterly unsought; it was accepted reluctantly and only after much persuasion and the promise of the heartiest cooperation on the part of pastor, officers and teachers.

THE CHAIN GANG.
MT. Hale Advocates Using Convicts in
 Highway Building.

Highway Building.
 J. H. Hale writes to the Hartford "Courant:" have noticed through the news columns of the 'Courant" that certain citizens of Middlesex county are agitating the matter of utilizing the of our county jails, and pos sibly state convicts, in the work of i'm proving the states highway. For a number of years now, since have been watching the work of the ''chain gang" upon the highways surrounding my farm in Georgia, I from time to time have called the attention of our Con- necticut people to this matter through this column, and am thoroughly inter- ested in this Middlesex county agitation and wish It might be taken up all over the state and thoroughly discussed.
 It has always seemed to me the best use we can put this class of people to; it certainly would be better for their health and physical development to be out at work in the air rather than con- fined in close jails or prisons; they would be doing some good for the pub nc ana pOSSlDiy tHelr Delng ODHBed 10 do hard work throughout the open country might carry with them an ob- ject lesson that would restrict some of our petty criminals. who now are only too glad to, spend portion of the year in jail at county expense.
 Let us congratulate Middletown or Middlesex county for being the first in the atata to po systematica IIv to mnrly to bring this matter before our people. Good roads by bad men," let that be the motto.

NEW BR1TA1Ns PROBLEM.

It does not require much thought to arrive at the conclusion that the sewer problem, now confronting the city, will require much careful consideration. We may be asked to care for our sewage in some other way than at present, ill order that the brooks flowing from us may be unpolluted. If we decide to do this by the precipitation, filtration or electrical system it will be necessary to expend much money fora plant and ar- range for an annual outlay for the care of it. Any of these plans would also necessitate building an entirely new system of sewers and drains throughout the whole city. If, on the other hand, as has been suggested, it is possible to sewer through to the Connecticut, or get there with the aid of the Mattabeset river, the cost would be great. These indications of large necessary ex- penditure, no matter what is done, lead up to question that the council and sewer commissioners should be con- sidering. How are we to maintain, pay the interest account on, and arrange to pay the cost of these Improvements by gradually returning the bonds?
 We now owe $320,730 for sewers. The interest on this must be met. But a new emergency has arisen that will probably need the expenditure of at least as much more. It Is safe to say that our interest account, when the im- provements are made, will be $24000 yearly, and that repairs will swell it to $30,000. How is this to be met? A sink ing fund is suggested. This would have to come out of direct taxation in addi--
 tion to the $3O,O00 It is easy to see that such a resource would be extremely
 burdensome.
 There is no doubt of the fact that the
 community at large is benefited by a
 sewer system. But there is limit to this and a point where the individual
 should be considered. It IS very evident that the expensive changes now con- templated are not made for the benefit of all. Some cannot connect with the sewer, others have vacant property that
 can be connected when improved, while
 others have use the sewers in widely
 varying proportions.
 Some general taxation will have to be continued to meet the inter-
 est expenses and sinking fund demands,
 but it is not just to raise all the money in this manner. Those who use the sewers should be asked to help. They
 should pay rental in direct proportion to the amount of sewage they produce, which the city must dispose of. It is the same principle that obtains in wa ter rents. If this was done we would be proceeding to solve the sewer problem l in an equitable way by adjusting the burdens in a fair manner. We would
 also be putting the sewer department
 on it's feet in a financial way and be providing a method by which the bonds | may be ultimately met.
 We commend these ideas to all who | are interested in the welfare of the city l for consideration. Perhaps some one is able to propose better plan. If so | nothing would please us more than tc print it.-New Britain Herald.
