In my estimate have asked for an
increase in the salary Of the assistant.
and for allowance for a StenOgrapher.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
work of this department has been grow
ing rapidly. both in volume and i'm
portance for many years, the salary of
the assistant has not been increased at
ali: and while councils no doubt con-
template that the work should largely
be done by the city solicitor, expert
ence has demonstrated the fact that It
Is an absolute impossibility for him to
do so. He must necessarily spend much
of his time in the defense of the city
against damage suits, which are being
constantly brought against her, and
hence much of the Office work devolves
upon the assistant. who Is obliged to
work very hard. The increase asked
for is fully earned by Mr.. Davis. and
hope it will be allowed. I have also
asked for an allowance for a stenOg-
rapher. and it will readily be seen that
it is almost indispensable that there
should be a stenOgrapher to do the
necessary work in the preparation Of
briefs, contracts, depositions and the
like. 1t Is also an advantage to have
some one in the office while the sOlic-
itor and his assistant are engaged In
court. SO that the Office will be opened
to the public at all times during busi-
ness hours.
The amount of these salaries will be
saved to the city by the efficient SER
vice of fairly paid efficient persons.
Very respectfully submitted,
a. A. VOSburg, City Solicitor.

able to get along without expending
the full appropriation for assistants;
but the prospects for next year are
that this department will, without q

propose to advance Mr.. William
Schunk, very worthy young man,
from chairman to rodman, with an in

will require an increase in appropria-

Hers was a home In which the theolo-

and she was not unhappy. Like most
poets. Mrs Moulton began to write
when she was very young, and she was
but 10 years OF age when she wrote
for a composition In school a poem
that her teacher could hardly believe
was original and he detained her
after school 10 ask II she had really
written the poem. when IA years old
she sent little poem to local news
paper and for the first time saw her
own lines In print. No lines OF hers
that appeared In after years In the
great magazines and that brought her
praise from Longfellow and Holmes
and Browning and Matthew Arnold
ever gave Mrs. Moulton the peculiar
thrill OF delight she felt on seeing her
first lines In that little village news
paper. Only once In lifetime can one
experience the delight OF seeing ones
first literary effort In print.
when is years old the young Con-
nectlcut poet brought out small vol
ume OF the stories. poems and sketches
she had had published in various pc
rlodieals up TO that time. Some OF
these poems and stories had appeared
in the Boston True Flag then edited
by William " Moulton. who had be-

contributor, and they were married In
1865 From that time until now Mrs.
Moulton has lived in Boston. with the

abroad.
