Convention Delegates Asked to Send
 Bills to Comptroller.
 During the last days of the session of the constitutional convention the uuestion was raised as to whether or not the delegates would be reimbursed for the sums paid out by them ID trans portation expenses previous to the time when the tickets were issued by the comptroller. One or two resolutions looking to q definite solution of the question were introduced, but on eX- planation that the matter would be at tended to by the comptroller they were not pressed Finally a resolution was adopted directing the comptroller to re- imburSe the delegates for transporta- tion expenses incurred. In accordance with the resolution the comptroller has sent the following letter to all of the delegates, except the delegate from Hartford, the latter not receiving any free transportatiOn:-

doesn't want to resort to such tactics. 1t wouldn't pay. People of limited means would be afraid to invest ln real estate and all our undeyeioped land would remain as it is. There IS no question but that people must pay their taxes, but some leeway should be allowed to citizens who may not be able to step up to the captain s office on schedule time.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-05-22

.i S0 HuiloeiS Ol people affirm that they never had any intimation that they owed such bills until they were ordered to appear in the district court at a certain date, so that it is ex- tremely difficult to know what to say about the question.
 Leaving this aside, it looks as if inc charges for taking steps to collect tax es by process of law is too high hrt of course the lawyers have all tbe say about that and the man who would seek to bring about a change m this respect wouldn't be likely fo get much of a show. The law seems to bring more suffering to the resi- dents of the school districts than. it does in the town and city. Fore closure proceedings are rarely resort ed to by Collector Thoms and yet he collects the taxes. Of course peoDIe who do not come down with the dust at given time have to pay the per- centages, but they expect this, and to many It IS great convenience to let It run over for few months. even though it does cost them something. What would be the result if Mr Thoms should institute foreclosure proceedings against everybody who will not have his taxes paid by June 1. He'd get the money, but he would put lots of people out of busi- ness, and then the city would not get taxes any sooner than it would by giving people little time, for it might take months to carry the cases through the courts, and after the property of people who could not pay had been ordered sold it might be difficult to in- duce people to bid on it.

MOVING IN SCOTLAND
ON MAY % OCCURS THE ANNUAL
CARNIVAL OF "FLITTING."

One Day In Each Year When Furpi-
ture Vans and Chaos Reign SUI
preme-An Odd System. Built Up on
the Caution of the Landlords.
In Scotland May % is annually given
over to a perfect carnival of fitting"
In England houses of the higher
rents are taken by the year at any
quarter day and the lower rented ones
by the month or even by the week.
The fitting is thus spread over the
year, and no confusion arises. The
Scottish system is to let houses by the
year from May %. Even the smallest,
consisting Of only one room, are so let
On the great day in any large town the
sights afforded range from the laugh
able to the pathetic.
AS soon as it is daylight the vans
previously "trysted" begin their work;
the goods are loaded up with more
haste than care and to the accompani-
ment of the good housewives lamenta-
tons as some cherished household god
is roughly flung into the van.
Arrived at the destination. further
troubles are in store. Perhaps the new
house is not yet vacated, and, as the
van is required for other removals, the
goods are dumped down in the street,
and there the poor family Is left
stranded for the time. Occasionally
some streets-in Glasgow, for instance
present az appearance of wholesale
evictions.
So numerous are the demands that
vans cannot always be obtained, and
every kind of vehicle, including horse
less carriages, popularity known as
"hurleys," are pressed into the service,
supplemented by father, mother and
the children. each carrying pictures,
mirrors or other cherished articles too
precious to trust to the tender mercies
of some ramshackle conveyance.
These professions are moving along
all day. The representative of law
and order, upon this day at least, is
very lenient. his gruff "Move on" is
less in evidence, and his ready note
book gets rest. There are no cases
of obstruction reported, although often
loaded vans have to remain in street
all night.
1t may be that the ''polisman" grasps
the humors of the situation. or perhaps
q fellow feeling Influences him. NO
doubt his own fitting Is in progress.
and he retires of duty to some strange
abode. there to assist In carrying In
his goods. to sup of crust of bread
and cheese and sleep on the floor. as

others have to do.

others have to do.
A stranger naturally inquiries the
cause Of this one day given over to
chaos. 1t is to be found in the eau
ton of the Scottish landlord. 1t is diff
ficult to obtain a house at any other
time than the lawful removal day, and
the canny house owner has prudently
secured his rent fortnight previously,
May Is.
moonlight fittings are thus prac-
tically unknown, and there is little
loss of rent from that cause. The rents
being payable half yearly only, the
cost of collection is reduced, as is the
risk of loss, to minimum. The sys-
TEN entails great hardship to working
men compelled to change the scene of
their labors. They frequently cannot
obtain house until term day and have
consequently to take lodgings and sup
port their family in another town.
If fortunate enough to obtain house.
the landlord steps in and requires his
full years rent to be paid or deposited
in bank before he allows the goods to
be removed. The unfortunate head of
a household is also responsible for the
full years rates of his new" house,
although he may have paid in full at
his vacated house.
The only advantage to the tenant is
security of tenure for twelve months
and the certainty Of being accommo.
dated at the expiry in the general
scramble. OF course it happens some
times. through new houses being erect
ed, that some one is able to start the
ball rolling day or two before term,
to the comfort of all involved in the
particular circuit; but, generally speak
ing, May term day in Scotland Is not
an institution to be admired and copied.
Strange to say, Sandy not only takes
this day philosophically. but is much
more addicted to fitting than people
south of the Tweed, some families NOV.
ing regularly every year without any
apparent necessity. One would scarce
ly expect the worry and discomfort of
the day and succeeding temporary
chaos to be voluntarily undertaken. but
the fact is so.
The continuance of the system itself
Is a standing monument to the British
long suffering and law abiding nature.

prepared by the teachers and parents
of the pupils. A beautiful decorated
cake was presented to Misses McCor-
mick and McGibbon, for which they
showed their appreciation by divid-
ing it with some of the guests.
Ball-games aud boating furnished
amusement throue bout the day, and
hammocks and swings stretched here
and there afforded pleasure for the
children.
The pupils of the Cedar Lake school
presented Miss Mccormick with a
beautiful remembrance as II token of
their regard.
About 5 O'Clock the people returned
to their homes. Misses Mccormick
and McGibbon extend their thanks 70
those who helped make it an event
long to be remembered by them.

Fire burst out in the cotton batting
on the shelves of S. c. Bjone's store
on Tuesday evening about $50, while
Mr.. Bjone. his clerks and general GUS

of mysterious origin in that no cause

at his desk at the opposite side of the
store was amazed at it's suddenness.
In n moment the cotton was all ablaze.
The fire department responded
promptly and very little water suf-

building was not large, and to the
stock very considerable by reason of
smoke aud water. Mr.. Bione says
that $4,000 would not cover his losses.
