acres at that rate and they are
worth $4,000. The total cost to
the town of this land was S76l 40.
y levy of 2 mills on the total valu-
alton will pay for the land. If
man has property valued al 81 600
he pays 81 ON = mill levy. We
are unable TO see how objection
could be raised to acquiring such
valuable asset to n growing town
at such n price.
THE OBJECTION.
Two members of the council op-
posed the payment of the balance
and were in favor of letting the
land go back to the state on statu-
tory grounds.
II is true that there are statutes
requiring vote of the people on
questions concerning the munich
pal acquisition of territory, but
we hold that the intent of the law
is to prevent fraud or graft and
venture to say that no court of
equity would condemn an action
of board clearly benetiting the
whole people.
The different town councils
have frequently voted appropria-
tons for Fairs and Library. etc.
in direct violation of the statutes
and yet had the appreciation of
the people.
Another objection is that the
town cannot improve the grounds
because il will be too expensive.
Such objection is short sighted
and narrow. Public improve.
lnents are not built and perfected
in day: neither ARE tracts of
ground. nicely located for public
purposes, often purchased at
trifling figure.

but at the latest report twice as many
Britons as Italians were arriving at Ellis
island, though from the first of the year
the Italians had been largely in excess.
Cheap steerage rates provided
explanation; slack work at home an
other. Moreover, frCm Ireland there
were as many women as men, from Eng
land nearly as many. 1t was an
immigration that came to stay.
Half the Italian immigrants go
home again; some Of these latter,
however, return once more, impatient
with old-world ways after a taste of the
new world. Precisely how many perma-
nent residents 100, 900 Italian new
Corners finally furnish it is yet too soon
to tell. Perhaps 0 1000.
| believe that one reason for the sud-
den influx of the British has not been
fully stated. That is the great demand
for domestic servants. English upper
class servants must be a considerable
element among the thousands of new
Corners; and there has not been a time
for years when Irish girls in all the
charm of their great eyes and shapely
figures have so adorned the receiving
station; these latter are in most cases
unused to domestic service, but the de-
mand absorbs them into busy life as
quickly as it does the more highly
trained contingent. And a rather pa
thetic thing it is, too, to see how soon
the rosy immigrant girl loses her health
in the close confinement of the house to
which she is not accustomed.
1t would seem with all this vast influx
of women and girls seeking work there
might be enough of them to go around"
That there are lot is largely due to the
prodigal way in which a few wealthy
families reduce the supply by organizing
their many homes upon a scale of more
than British grandeur.

Lenox or to Tuxedo; in the case Of short
migrations like that from Long island to
New York the sight of a removal is not
unlike the migration of a Russian Bar
in from his country to his city estate.
Rather a common sight in these autumn
days on Long island roads is a queer
procession of carriages and station
wagons and autos conveying light bag
gage the last odds and ends that didn't
get into the great trunks and boxes; and
for passengers the servants, a little COM
pany held in decorous silence by W Of
the housekeeper's all-seeing eye.
For the hOusekeeper. the butler, the
cook and the valet and the lads maid,
the a~ristocracy Of this little under
world of serving people, are very great
personages in it. They, in turn, have
servants to wait upon them. Nor do they
in the good old English fashion take
their meals with the rest of the servants,
but they have a dining-room and a wait
er of their own. Two dining-rooms,
private rooms of considerable luxury,
light work much subdivided, fair wages,
and the prestige of having worked for
~So-and-Sos, are the advantages offered
by the great house." The Misses Hew-
lit, on their century-old ancestral es-
tate in Ringwood, N. j., even provide a
special church service for their servants.
The average unskilled lower servant
the girl who may be competent as a
chambermaid or under waitress-some-
times finds life in a great household
pleasant for it's human companionship;
sometimes she dislikes the quarreling
that is inseparable from the situation.
The former mood prevails nine-tenths
of the time, and it is hard upon the mod
est housekeeper who advertises for one
general servant" She is up against
a pulling trust problem" of her own.
