DECORATIONS TOOK FIRE.
Everybody Kept Their Heads and
 Ayerted q Panic.


 By the presence of mind of Rev pr Martin yesterday q panic was averted in St Cecilia's church. Since Christ mas time the altars have been decorat- ed with holly and evergreen and the wreaths and other trimmings of that kind have become very dry and in dammable. The choir at the half past ten service was just concluding the ASpergeS, when it was noticed that tiny flame had crept from one Of the candles on the main altar to vase that was filled with holly. The latter at once ignited and one of the altar boys ran up the steps and attempted to beat out the flames with book he held in his hand. This only served to fan the fire and it was getting be- yond the boys control when several of the congregation started for the altar Leo Heringer was the first to reach the scene and he, at the direction of Father Martin, took the vase with the burning holly and carried it into the sanctuary where the fire was eX- tinguished. Many of the people in the congregation had arisen to their feet as they saw the blaze grow larger, but through it all Father Martin remained at the foot of the altar. and never once by gesture or by any act. betrayed any nervousness. Had he himself made q move to ascend the steps of the altar and Quench the fire, the people would undoubtedly have become excited. Seeing him act so uuconcerned male the majority of the others feel that there was no danger For q minute. however. it created quite q little eX- citement. as tho fire had got consiGer- able headway before it was cNtin- SuiSheu.

coNsoL1DAT1oN AND TAXATION
The Latter Seems to Be the Trouble
 some Question.


 some Question.
 No matter what way you look at the proposed consolidation act, the ques- tion of taxation stands out more prom inently than any other provision of the draft. It hits every man in the same spot, his pocket, and once you touch people there you start them thinking quicker than in any other way Prop erty owners in the annexed district ap- pear to have no particular objection to consolidation, provided the present rate of taxation is not changed, and i'll addition to this they demand some assurance that the city will keep faith with them in this respect, so that no matter how great the burdens of the city in the future. they will not be asked to bear any of them. and. iudg- ing by the class of men who are be- hind this movement, we should not be surprised to see the consolidation isis forced to make this concession or ahand0n tho project. If thin~S should turn ont this way. owners of real es- tate within the old city lines should see to it that no public improvements shall he made in districts that are not paving fpll taxes. At present. every reSidett of the city feels that his rate bills are is large as they ouoht to be. | Many claim they are too high and fav- Oreu consolidation when it was first talked of because they thought the ac- ! uuiSitiGn of new territory would give 1 the city additional revenue and that on thiS account. if taxation should not be reduced. it was not likely to be ad- VanccQ. The rate of taxation was made uniform ill the city of Water bury when it was incorporated, and. as General Kellogg said at the hearing Friday night. there was more waste land in the city proper when it was Incorporated than there is now in the new district Why. then. introduce special rates for prODGrty which. in the natural order of things. will be provided with public improvements before some sections of the old city i that have hecn paying full taxes for i the mast half century? If our good i fair. and We do not doubt their hon. i eStv of purpoSe they should he as 1 ready to offer a guarantee that they { will not look for public improvements i while paving only a half rate of taxa l ton. 6 they are tG receive assurances i that they will not he taxed to meet i such cVnenscs So'ne of the outside 1 receive from thn city is school accom- ! moGation. That's all thav are paving i for What ri"ht have they to eXDect more unless they are willing to pay | for it?
