NOT DEAD BUT ALIVE.

Girl Infant Found by W. A. Futile of
 West Haven-Not Identified.
 It was reported yesterday that a young female baby had been found dead in West Haven. This was not ex- actly so as the baby is very much alive. The facts in the case are as fol- lows: Shortly before o'clock yester- day morning as Bailiff w. A. Futile, who is in charge of the town hall nights, was about to leave for his home, young boy came running in and told him that as he was walking across the path in Wards lot, which leads from Wards place to Campbell avenue, he heard a baby crying and going closer he saw rolled up blanket and that the noise was coming out of it. Bailiff Futile investigated. He found the blanket and on opening it found a month old baby girl crying lustily. He took it to the home of Mrs. Berwick on Ward Place and she gave it proper care, and 1t was not long before the child was sleeping peacefully. The child is still l3under Mrs. Fenwick's care and is seemingly perfectly healthy. The child was undoubtedly abandoned and the police are working on the case. If it's parents are not discovered it will be taken care of by the town.

some misapprehension has arisen, and perhaps it might be we'll to speak of it at this time. namely: an idea has gone abroad that it is absolutely necessary for a town to vote the entire maximum amount of nine thousand dollars in or der to participate in this appropriation during the next two years. This is an erroneous idea, and has no foundation in fact. Every town in the state has a right to make any appropriation they may see fit and proper. from one dollar to nine thousand dollars It is not the purpose of the state, and never has been, to ask any town to exceed in any way the amount of money they can safely afford to expend. Hence. all towns have the right to vote whatever amount appeals to their judgment and the wisdom of their citizens when in town meeting assembled. They are to be the only judges of what is best and most wise for them to do.
 These two matters have come to my attention during the last few weeks. since the appropriation has been made by the general assembly, and they have appeared of sufficient importance to justify a full explanation in general letter.
 Very respectfully,
 (Signed) JAMES H. MACDONALD,
 State Highway Commissioner.

ON THE BASEBALL FIELD
BEST PLAYED CAME OF TWO

Yesterday on saVin Rock GFounds-
 New Haven Won From HoIyoke by
 Score of 2 to O-sensationaI Plays
 Abounded-ResuISs of Other Contests.
 No game os baseball played on the Savin Rock grounds during the seasons of 1902 and 1903 equals in interest and quality the contest of yesterday after noon when the New Haven team de- feated the Holyoke team by the score of ? to 0. From start to finish the game was replete with close plays and excit- ing incidents. The work of Umpire sCaullif1ower was the best of the year and this added materially to the good playing of both teams. New Haven scored one run in the third and another in the fifth. This ended the scoring for the game and the victory perched upon tile Blues. Hanifin scored both runs.
 The batting was heavy at times, but few of the drives were safe ones, the feiders playing great ball and shutting off hit aftershit and run after run.
 In the first inning Holyoke had three men on bases when the side was retir- ed and the Paper City team failed in only two innings to leave men on bases when the last man was out. New Ha- ven skipped three innings in this re- gard, which goes to show the determin- ation that both teams displayed in their efforts to win.
 In was an exhibition of good. clean baseball and the audience Justify cheer ed the good plays of both teams. The summary: .y,.F. :.

NOT A CONTRACT.
Highway Commissioner Macdonald Sets Doubts at Rest.

Highway Commissioner Macdonald
 5= Sets Doubts at Rest.
 Highway Commissioner Macdonald in a circular letter just issued sets at rest misapprehensions which have existed concerning two matters within his pro- vince. The letter follows:
 Board of Selectmen:
 Gentlemen:-I have very recently ly been asked a question by several towns of the state relative to the obli- gation of a town making an appropria- tion under chapter 125, general stat utes, known as An act to provide for the improvement of the public roads" The question asked is: Does any town enter into a contract with the state of Connecticut and assume an obligation when it passes avote making an appro- priation to experd the amount of mon- ey named in the resolution passed at al town meeting
 I deem this question of sufficient im-5 portanee for me to answer it in gen., eral letter; and my answer has always been and will be, No. The act of a town in making application for a state appropriation simply gives the town the right to enjoy an allotment made by the state and to use it if the town sees fit and proper in the time prescribed by law. In other words, 1t IS a precautiona and safeguard for all towns in pro- tecting their access to a portion of the appropriation of 1903-4, and if any town in the state does not desire to--through and financial embarrassment or other- wise-take up their allotment it will simply lapse or remain in the state treasury and the town will be under no obligation to expend it. % But it is wise for all towns to take advantage of what they reasonably think they can afford to use, so that if they do desire at any time during the next two years to make some road im- provements they" will have the money available so to do. While if any town in the state was to forego their rights and privileges at this time, and next year they desire ti improve some main highway in their town with state aid, the funds will not be available for their use.
 think this is matter which should be understood generally; hence deem it of sufficient importance to speak of l it at this time when towns are holding or about to hold town meetings throughout the state to take up this question:
 There is another matter about which
