REPLY TO MIR TYLER.
Bucks Hill Road Cow Trail That
 Leads to Nowhere.

DUCKS Hill Road . Cow Trail That
 Leads to Nowhere.
 Editor of the Democrat:
 S1r:-In reply to the remarks of yyil- liam Tyler on the question of state roads, which appeared in your issue oI last Wednesday, I beg leave to say that the gentleman appears to be un- mlndful of the fact that the object of the good roads movement, inaugurated Dy the state, was to improve and main- tain in the best manner possible the ola turnpike roads of Connecticut. not the byways and COW trails of the farm ing districts which are rarely used ex- cept by the residents scattered along them
 Will MT Tyler please inform me where the Bucks Hill road leads to-? It is true that man who had not much regard for his life and was a skillful driver might work his way to Wolcott by taking the Bucks Hill road, but for the one person who ven lures over Spindle Hill to Wolcott. a thousand drive through Waterville en route to Waterbury, Thomaston. Bris- tol and other places. We have the railroad and trolley service, but these do not reduce travel on the highways any more than they do on streets in and about the center of Waterbury. which 1 venture to say are used as much now and probably more so than they were before the advent of the trolley. Waterville enjoys some nat ural advantages for manufacturing purposes and where these exist and are taken advantage of as they have been here, certain kinds of public improve ments soon become imperative and have to be made, no matter where the money comes from. It is different in purely agricultural districts and MT Tyler is well aware of this, but of course if the funds appropriated for state roads could be made to serve personal ends instead of public needs, MT Tyler might not object so long as Bucks Hill profited by such misuse of the peoples money A. 0.

RoWAYToN SCHOOL SCANDAL.
Principal Mcclellan Must Prove His
 Charges or Resign.

Rowayton, Jan 24.--John W. Me CieHan. principal of the Five Mile hlVer district school, in Rowayton.
 must either prove his charges, first made last October, against Miss EIiz- aDeth ErVlp, a teacher. or resign. The ultmatum was made to him last even Ing py James w. Stevens, district com m1tteeman, after MT Mcclellan con- cluded his school duties for the day The principal immediately went to South Norwalk to consult with his at- torney, George H. Vosburg, jr. When seen later he declared he had nothing to say.
 At teachers meeting MT McClel- Ian accused Miss Erwin, first assistant principal, of writing offensive letters to himself and to his wife, as we'll as to the other teachers and to promi- nent persons in the district. Miss Err win was made i'll by the charges and asserted her innocence. Some of the letters were said to be decidedly i'm proper in their character, and two or three threatened MT and Mrs McClel- lans lives
 John Fl. Light, secretary of the Nor walk board of education, Tuesday re- ceived a big petition from the residents of Rowayton, demanding that MT Me- Clellan be dismissed at once. The document declared that the signers would no longer tolerate the principals retention. MT Light, who is speaker of the house of representatives and q leading attorney, laid the matter be- fore the board. He told the other members that it seemed to him to be for the best interests of the school that an immediate change of principal be made, and recommended that MT Stevens, district committeeman, who knows all the facts in the scandal be made acquainted win he boards view in the matter and receive power to act as his judgment dictates.
 MT Light and MT Stevens held 9 consultation Wednesday. Mir Ste vens said if MT Mcclellan did not stand ready to prove the charges he had made against Miss Erwin he would dismiss him at once. MT Stevens de clared he did not believe the bad feel ing engendered among the teachers be- cause of the anonymous letters han an i'll effect upon the school work, but he thought it desirable to effect change.
 Many persons in Roway ton believe that by the end of the present month MT Mcclellan will have retired and the famous letter writing incident of Rowayton will be closed.

BARONS, WHO HAVE THE CON-
SUMER ON THE HIP, PROCEED
TO THROW HIM.
A SPECIALLY CLEVER MOVE
THE LATEST ONE-SHIFTrNG OF
TAXES.
People Now to Put Up for ASSESS
ments and Insurance-City Coun-
ell Taking Note.

The coal octopus has already begun
to contract it's tentacles for the year
1902. AND the consumers are squirming
under the pressure. They think that
it is little early to feel the grip, as the
SHOWS of last winter have scarcely thaw-
ed. The barons, however, are of diff
ferent opinion, and have issued the edict
Prices are to be increased steadily
from now until next winter.
1t has been the practice of the trust
people to allow the schedule which goes
into effect after the opening of navi-
cation to stand until the season is we'll
along. The first raise was always made
i'll July or August, heretofore, after
which the price went up by easy stages
This year, however, they have started
early, and promise to be very Industrious
in piling, up the cost at very short in
tervals between now and November. On
May l, coal prices received the first
boost. The raise was in anthracite. 1t
was only ten cents Il ton, but the trust
people promised another on the first
of June, and would not say how large
it is to be, probably IS to 25 cents.
Thereafter the first Of each month will
see an addition to the price, unless some
action is taken to prevent it.
The companies have all agreed on a
schedule, and the same story is told at
every dock. The large consumers of
anthracite are the ones who feel the
effect of this move Immediately The
trust has notified them that all coal con-
tracted for, must be removed from the
docks at once.
Time was when contracts could be
made at the beginning of the year for
future delivery. The trust, however,
found that this made them pay taxes
on the stock, and if there is anything
the trust dislikes it is paying taxes.
That is one of the duties from which
it believes itself exempt by right, so
the barons got together and framed up
deal to shift the burden to the con-
sumer
1t did not take them long to arrive
at a conclusion. That sort of thing is
pie for the trust. They concluded, with
out debate, that they would force the
fellow who burned the coal to pay the
ing easier. 1t was only necessary to
make him buy at the beginning of the
season. and take the coal away at once.
In this way it would be taken from
the dock before an assessment could be
levied against it; neither would there be
any necessity to insure it. 1t would
be assessed later at the place where
the customer stored it, and he could in
sure it or not" as he pleased. 1t was
none Of the trusts business.
If the consumer was not willing to
be 'bled in this indirect way, the trust
was perfectly willing to do the bleeding
direct. The price would be put up from

County Court.

At its session last week the county
court received the two bridges on No
lachucky river and ordered payment of
amounts due for building the same.
The court also received the new Jail
under written contract with the COM
pany building the same that such ac-
ceptance did~not operate as a waiver Of
any rights of the county to proceed on
the bonds of the constructors to recov-
er damages for default in construction
of Jail or for any unfinished work. The
Jail has not been completed, and the
Jail committee was authorized to finish
the same, to pay amount for sodoing
and to charge it to the construction
company. Said company was also au-
thorized to pay accounts already pre-
sented, but were to hold back out OF
amount due sufficient sum to complete
the Jail.
The term Of the county court, except
with regard to the new bridges and
Jail, was without any event of particu'
lar Importance.

little ones, from the surrounding coun-
try, and we congratulate the thousands
assembled and ourselves on the good
order that prevailed. The crowd was
out for fun and pleasure and they had it..
Major Weeks, the next state senator
from this district, was circulating
among the voters and sight-seers. From
remarks heard his friends must have
been numerous.
The railroads brought in hundreds
on excursion trains, especially the South
and Western and the E. T. & W. N. G.
railroads. Our mountain people like
big shows, and we are proud of having
town where such shows are given.
We are always glad to welcome them
into our midst.
