institution In the county home. The general condition of the county homes is said to he one of good order and good management.
 In regard to almshouSes it is said that in a majority of them good man. agement and reasonable comfort pre-. vail but about one-siXth of the whole number are absolutely poor md unfit for use. The chief defectsanoticed are lack of classification of the inmates, inadequate heating arrangements, water supply and facilitles for bath ing. and occasionally an absence Of expressed that better results would be accomplished if the smaller aims houses were abolished and their h. mates were combined with those Tn the larger institutions to form q sys- tenn of district almshouses Under such an arrangement 1t is believed that a sufficient number of inmates would be gathered in each place to make possible their proper classiflca- tion and to secure keepers of superior character and ability. Tn an ideal dis trict almshouse the buildings should consist of group of detached struc~ lures, each adapted for the care and trea atment of it's special class of in mates. The number of state paupers in Connecticut Is so small that 1t has never been deemed advisable to estab4 fish a special institution for their care.
 Since the last printed report Of the board, seven Institutions have been added to the list of private homes for the aged and young which the board visits making total of thirty-six such institutions in the state. Excel lent care of the inmates Is provided in nlI ho oI.I Iofe row restrictions in regard to residence and church affiliations limit their field of usefulness. Especial need is felt for more homes for aged and indigent men of eminent respectability.
 Mention is made of the thirty-hrss annual meeting of the national confer ence of charities and correction held at Portland, Me, in June. at which hf- teen delegates were present from Con. necticut The conference of 1905 7gf1g be held in Portland, Ore, and the state is represented among its committees and officers #
 During the year regular meetings ot the board have been held monthly at it's office in the Capitol and special meetings also when necessary. In ad- dition to the required quarterly visitN to the state Institutions, other visits are made from time to time and the board makes an effort to keep in touch with the work of all the institutions with which it has to deal.

The gong at the plant of the Con necticut Railway tS Lighting company 1on Bank street will be discontinued on the 31st of the present month, which means that the public may bid adieu to the 9 o'clock whistle Saturday night, and the fire department, too, will have to devise other means of no- tifying the people of fires, for as the whistle Is to be put out of commission 1t Will not be heard at 5 o'clock, either While this will be a great disappoint- ment to everybody, still it was expect. cd in certain quarters, for Mir Sewell said sometime ago that the service would be rendered only SO long as the company used steam at the Bank street house, but he did say that pos sibiy by that time arrangements might be made to have the. gong transferred to one of the big factories, where 1t could be made scream just as well as in its present location.

BOOKINGS cOHfEfUNI-
 CATION WAS FILED

At the last meeting of the board of public works a communication was re> ceived from E. ". Mooring calling att tention to the inequality Of water rates in Waterbury and asking that steps be taken to sell water to consumers at the same rates. NIr Mooring desired to be heard before the board on the sub 1ect with a view to stating his case more fully. The board was sitting out petitions received during the past year which 1t intended to relegate to tho grave Of oblivion and when the pile was ready Mr Mooring's was tucked into 1t and the bunch ordered on file. Mir Mooring should have addressed his communication to the board of alder, men, but 1t is doubtful if he would have fared much better before that body, for no matter where you go the sentiment appears to be in favor Of making the small water consumer pay higher rate than the big one.

TOWN DELEGATES.
VIII Meet TO.Nisht to Select a DemO-
 cratic Town Committee.

The delegates to the democratic town convention will meet at o'clock tonight in the city court room, to chose town committee. A good deal of interest is centered in the result of this meeting, for the success of the party in Waterbury will depend in great measure in the kind of men who will make up the town committee. Notwithstanding all the talk one hears from time to time about the democrats having all gone over to the enemy, it is a fact that there are more adherents of democracy In Waterbury to-day than ever before and the only thing that has brought the organiza- ton into disfavor was because 1t had no recognized head and where such condition exists no organization can hold It's grip long. With town com mittee whose right to act for the party nobody can question there IS no req son why the outlook for the democrncy Of Waterbury should not be or1ghr. that is assuming that the citizens or this town regardless of political afhlla- tions fee! that the community should continue to employ at least a sem blance of home rule, that all the laws should pot be made at Hartiora ana all tho paying done here. Let us nave town committee which stand for everything that makes for the good Of Waterbury and republicans as well as democrats will want to tall lhro line with them.
