He says further that he was also appointed chairman of subcommittee to act as arbitrator in the awards for printing machinery and equipments, and performed his duties honestly and uprightly.

 ULAR POLICE FORCE

PENNY PROVIDENT BANK
 AT FRIENDLY LEAGUE

The Friendly league stamp station of the Penny Prevalent bank will re- open for the public next Saturday and will be open every Saturday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:3O D. m. The follow ing story illustrates what the Penny Provident bank will do:
 To make money, one way is to save it. One Wednesday afternoon in 1903 we announcedsfrom the platform that we would open a Penny Provident fund. Henry Becker went home and told his mother all about it. He de- cided to make use of that bank. As he did not receive many pennies the question was how to earn some. The first thing he did was to go to his mother and persuade her to let him sell the old rags in the house. He ran err rands and was constantly on the look pennies. His brother and sister, in fiuenced by his example, began to save their pennies, too. Tn three months they had five dollars. When the fath- CT saw how the cents had accumulated to dollars, he decided to help the chill dren by giving up his daily pint of beer. This meant 60 cents a week extra for the bank. Soon the mother began to give her mite, 10 cents a day. One evening the father, picking up the newspaper, glapcing over the columns the nd ,R Rtisement of an auction sale of ltss at Coronna caught his eye After talking it over with his wife he went to see the agent. He found that $20 would have to be paid down, the rest received in monthly payments. They only had $15 In the bank, but they soon made up the other five and pro ceeded to become investors in real es- tate. Tn year they had paid of $24O. Now, they own two lots and are making arrangements to build house. This will take some time, but patience and self denial will win in the end. Henry Becker is to be con graduated for having inspired his fam fly to earn their own home.

NOTHING HEARD ABOUT
 BALDWIN ST TROLLEY

The directors of the Connecticut Railway S Lighting Co are taking their time about making reply to the aldermen with reference to the com pletion of the Baldwin street trolley road. Gan it be possible that the di- rectors look upon all this buster on the part of the city fathers as simply a little. bit of bluff performed with a view to deceiving the unwary? Any way, they have not. yet replied to 1t and it is not at all likely that they vii bother their heads about the ex- tension until it suits their own pur- pose. O

BOARD OF SAFETY.
Held Executive Session and Increased Estimates $lS,00o Over Last Year.

At an executive session of the board of public safety, held yesterday after noon, the estimates of expenses for the fire and police departments were con- cluded. They call for an increase of $1SO00 over last year. The great in crease is ill the fire department esti- mates, while the figures for the police department are only about a few thou. sand over last years. This is owing to the police protection given Simons, vile and the increase ill the police force. Following are the estimates in detail:

The increasein the proposed expend- itures for the fire department is based on what the board has in view for 1t. Tn most of the engine houses there are insufficient hosemen and laddermen and 1t has been practically determined to increase the force of each company to the limit and gradually dispose of the call force, which has ever been a Iished.

Jasper NJ. Sligh was born Novem-

itory life December Is, 1908. Broth
er Sigh leaves five children, widow,
two brothers, one sister and a host
of friends to mourn his departure,
one child having preceded him to
the spirit land. He was a member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,

dark waters gathered around him
as he entered the valley of the shadow
of death, his rod and his staff will
support him. May he who has all
power over all things on earth and
in heaven bind up the broken heart
of the widow and heal the affections
Of the children. W. D. Quick.

Yes, Mr.. Editor, We might we'll and
truthfully say that toll bridges and
ferries at this day and time are truly
bulworks against civilization, when
we consider the mass and class of
those who are forced to patronize and
support them at such extortiopate
rates. Now in my humble, honest
iuogment such remedy as We want
and such relief as We need can easily
be obtained by comparatively small
investment when We consider the ben
efits to be derived from such.
The most feasible plan that sug-
gests itself to my mind to bring
