Needs a r. r. Commissioner.

Summit needs ". Boyd Evans as
Railroad Commissioner to see that
that town is not Disseminated
against by the railroads. There is no
telegraph Office; no phones; no stops
by the trains; no anything else, ex-
cept conditions that will make it a
splendid business point if the rail
roads would not pursue its policy of
murder toward it. We know not
the cause of the enmity of the rail-
road people against this place.

It is whispered within the inner cir cles of republican politics that during the past week word was sent from the Fessenden headquarters to Judge Mar GUS Fl. HolconIb of Southington. repre- sentative-elect from that town. that his candidacy for speaker would not be op- posed,s Judge Holcomb is recognized all over the state as q Bulkeley mem bcr and the Bulkeley nominee for speaker 1t is true that similar peace messages were sent last spring 10 Re, publican Stute Chairman Andrew r. Gates, and after all he was knocked out when the time was ripe Hut it is not believed that similar tactics win be attempted again. Gates is stpon9eb than, he was before they killed him.
 The contest for the position of assist ant clerk of the house goes merrily on. Willian-J Barber of Harwinton is be- lieved to be well in the lead with fine promise of success. The others are Harold R. Durant of Waterbury, who is backed by the Fessenden element, ex-Representative Downs or Waiilng- ford and Alexander Arnott of Man. chester. Each has bis friends and the breakup, if there is more than one ballot, will be interesting. It Is safe to say that MT Barber's success IS ex- neeted

Attorney Cassidy appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney Marsh for the defendant This case has been some time in the courts A few months ago it was thought to be settled. but when the time of reckoning came the de- fendant who agreed to pay certain expenses declined to do so.

SALT ON SIDEWALKS
Net Allowed, But People Uas is on
 the RoAdways.

There is Il slight thaw this afternoon and if this should be followed by frost tonight walking will be a dittis cult operation tomorrow. The side- walks and crossings are not in the best condition and unless people put out lots of sand somebody is sure to get hurt, What makes private citizens mad IS to see the way they are pushed about sidewalks which they do not own. and then look at how easy the au. thorities take things with reference to the streets and crossings which are the property of the city. Again. they cannot understand why the law says that salt shall not be sprinkled on the sidewalks for the purpose of removing ice while one may toss all he likes of it about the streets. Of course some contend that the law regarding the use of salt for this purpose applies to the streets as well as to the walks. but there must be some mistake about that. If an officer sees you using salt on the sidewalks he will tell you that this Is contrary to law, if he lets you go at that, but the same officer is beau tifully silent when he looks into the streets and observes men f1inging it along just the same as farmers throw seeds in springtime. One of the off, cers said to-day that the reason for this Is because salt is very injurious to leather and if mixed with the snow on the walks it would raise the mischief with footwear, but that 1t does not harm horses hoofs or other things that come in contact with it in the street, It is too bad that it cannot be used on the walks as well as in the streets, for it would save thousands of dollars to the people of Waterbury every year.
