{ ABOUT CONSOLIDATION.
Principal Matter to Be Adjusted Is
 Question of TaXation

Question of Taxation.
 It is hoped that the committee ap- pointed by the board of aldermen to draft bill pertaining to consolidation will get together and report back to the aldermen not later than December l5. The principal matter to be adjust ed in the measure is the question of taxation and if the committee can hit upon system of taxation that will be equitable they will confer d great blessing upon the people who live in the rural districts, as well as on those whose homes are situated inside the old city lines. If bill should be passed that would be as unsatisfac- tory as the one making the city line co-terminal with that of the Center district has turned out to be, there will be no end of trouble over it. The people on the outskirts might just as well make up their minds now. as lat CT. that if tEey want to get public i'm provements they will have to pay for them. Look at the condition Of peo- pie in the added district They re- ceive little or nothing from the city, and the town will not turn a hand for them, and, in consequence, they are
 worse off to-day than they were before they were taken in." No adminfstra- tion wants to give them anything.
 When the republicans were at the helm they ridiculed the idea of giving the 'outsiderS' water. sewers, lights and sidewalks, on the same condition as petitioners i'll the old city limits. so long as the latter were paying twice the amount of taxes as the former The present administration has done a little better than this but it has not gone far enoughNto suit the demands of people who thought that once they got inside the line all they had to do was ask for Improvements and they would be forthcoming. no matter how manifoStly unfair the rate of taxation might have been. No doubt the com mittee will give this phase of the bill the attention it requires, and endeavor
 to fix things so as to lay proportion al loads on each 1t is all well enough to talk about the political as pect of the case. but in the opinion of a vast majority of the owners of property in the town and city the po- litical end of the game is small af- fair compared with the financial side of it. the question of taxation, that concerns every man who owns a foot of property no matter what his poli- ties may be. Let us have no advan- taCe of each other politically and an equitable adjustment of the matter of | taxation and then all will be well. no
 matter which party happens to be in | the aScendency.

 Returns from eighty towns give q total of lG0, 760 in favor of the Titus amendment to the constitution provid- ing for biennial instead of annual cleo tions and 134,47S against.
 A literal construction of the last proposition. according to Attorney General Remley will continue in office for another year the present incum- bents, in all about 2,00O of state. county and township officials to which successors were chosen at the cleo ton just held and it is doubtful if the officers so elected can assume their offices at the expiration of the year as they were elected for the term to begin the first Monday ina January 1901. The only way out of the difficult ty seems to be for the present officials to resign and permit the governor to appoint the recently elected ones to the vacancies.

Removed to the Hospitau Yesterday
 With Typhoid Fever.


 It is said a great amount of sickness prevails among the pupils of the Wa terbury training school Every other day at least one or more of the young ladies are detained home by sickness. Miss Catherine Hennessey, of Wall street has been absent from school about six weeks, on account of an at tack of typhoid fever. She is still at home. Last week Miss Olive M. Ly- ford assistant principal of the school. was also seized with an attack of ty- phoid fever and yesterday was re- moved from her residence, 119 Gen. tral avenue. to the hospital. Miss Lyford's sickness is q cause of much regret. not only to the principal. Miss Finch. and her second assistant. Miss Bohan. but also the young ladies of the training school. with whom she has become | favOrite on account of her desire to aid and assist them in every manner. Miss Lyford will not be able to resume her duties for at least four weeks. during which time her place will be filled by Miss Finch and Miss Bohan. Besides. this, affairs at the training school are progressing most favorabIy. During the past week a change has been effected. The young ladies who have belonged to the model department have been changed to the practice department. and vice versa. Miss Finch is highly satisfied with the work of the members of both departments thus far. and as the young ladies are exceedingly pleased with the methods which have been en- ployed by Miss Finch and her assist ants. there can be no doubt that the first year of the training school will be a gala success.
