 years, and the hundreds more that are
 in decaying state. Our public schools and many citizens are taking an earn ] est and active interest in the subject. l Is 1t not possible to have non- partisan nominations of able, honest and faithful men for the political offices of our city,
 and in this way secure officials who

 than for party advantage and their own continuation in office.
 l By far the most notable local event
 of the year past was the celebration of
 the two hundredth anniversary of it's founding by Yale university. Town
 united heartily with gown to assist in
 every way possible, and the four days interesting events.
 l In bringing this paper to an end, l
 desire to earnestly reaffirm what l said
 last year regarding municipal taxation,
 artesan wells and free public wharfage.
 All are subjects of live interest and well worthy the serious and best thought of the chamber. 1 commend | them all to your early consideration.
 Great prosperity still attends our coun- | try's progress. Industial establish ments apparently have plenty of work, and few men who desire and are able l to labor are debarred the opportunity. Peace and plenty are with us In fact all the factors that make for the maxi mum of human contentment and hap piness are present in full measure. cI,p I,o han Il to the Giver of all Good for the many blessings we enjoy, May the future for many years be as bright as the pres ent
