Dctby,s Mayor Refuses to Approve
 Health Officers Bills.


 Derby, March 13.-A spirited fight has been precipitated between the mayor of Derby and the board of ap- portionment and taxation on the one side and the board of aldermen on the other over the accounts turned in by Health Officer La Bonte in connection with the expenses of the recent case of smallpox and incident protective measures.
 The accounts, which call for an ex- penditure of $1,69933, were approved by the aldermen at their last meeting and passed to the mayor for his ap- proval. Mayor Phillips, however, de- clined to give this and has vetoed sev- eral important items, among them a bill of S45O for public vaccination ana another of S2OO for the destruction of household goods on account of infec- ton. The mayor states that the gen. eral vaccination of the school children was nasty and that in many cases where it was performed at city ex- pense, the parents would have taken the same steps if allowed a little time. For the destruction of household goods the mayor claims the city is not liable.
 The light promises to develop along party lines as the mayor, who is a re- publican, is understood to have the support of a republican board of ap- portionment which must pass the necessary appropriation bills If the &C., counts are to be settled. The demo- cratic board of aldermen up to the present refuse to yield their position.
 Last night counsel were retained by several of the claimants, including the three doctors who attended the case. and it Is thought that the matter will reach the courts if the present dead lock is not broken

The Absence of
 Labor Strikes. WHAT IT IS DOING
 FOR WATERBURY

We have little piece of news when ought to give encouragement to all our citizens Two substantial looking strangers coming up in the cars 10 Waterbury engaged in earnest conyer- sation. They said it was good city to invest capital on account of the rare occurrence of labor strikes" This reputation abroad is cause for great rejoicing, and without "a shadow of doubt will bring great prosperity to Waterbury and the Naugatuck valley. We know of large capitalists now looking for site here to buy or build factory Labor strikes has done more to injure England than all its wars and the United States is getting it's trade. There are so many na- tionalities in our factories who have a grudge against England, perhaps this is one way of getting even with her.
 The spring trade is beginning early. Parlor furniture is the chief feature, which is a sure indication of prosper ous year. When people feel like sit ting in an easy chair they are in easy circumstances. We expect to get a large slice of the eight millions which the people of Waterbury have in the local savings banks. Money locked up is no good; like a fertilizer, it must be scattered to produce results. The Waterbury Furniture Co is right '.in it'' this season with a line of House Furnishings that will reach your heart as well as your pockets.

engaged upon history Missssippi-a work which had
he been spared to complete it, must have been of
high interest and great utility for the labor of
