 If you have any doubts about how to vote study the following circular, issued by the secretary of state, in re-
 gard to such matters:
 Ballots for town officers and ballots for amendments to the constitution
 should be placed in one and the same
 envelope. The ballots for the consti- tutional amendments will be furnished by the state through the secretary's
 office in due time and free of cost.
 In towns holding no election for
 town officers on October 2, 1905, the
 vote on the two constitutional amend
 ments will be cast the same as if the
 town officers were being voted for,
 both amendments to be placed in the
 official envelope.
 The attorney general has decided
 that under the new corrupt practice
 act only such candidates as are voted
 for by electors at any regular or spe-
 cial election need file sworn state
 mnet of their election expenses witi
 the town clerk, in the case of town of
 ficers, and with the secretary of the
 state in the case of congressman, state officers, etc.
 Ballots for free text books must be placed in ballot box marked ''Frc' Text Books" and do not require to be placed in an envelope. These ballots will be furnished by the state through the state board of education.
 The law providing that the secre- tary shall furnish colored pastors does not go into effect until July l, 1906.
 Besides the election Of city and town officers, two amendments to the con. stitution of the state of Connecticut will be voted on as follows:
 Each town shall annually, or bien- nially, as the electors of the town may determine, elect selectmen and such officers of local police as ,fe laws may prescribe"
 "voting machines or other mechanl cal devices for voting may be used in all elections in this state under such regulations as may be prescribed by law, provided, further, that the right of secret ballot shall be preserved"
 The amendments are all right and "Yes" ballot will be the proper thing.
 Nobody finds fault because he sees the streets torn up now and then, for this is an evidence of progress, but ev- erybody objects when the pavement is not properly relaid. When the granite dimension blocks were laid in the pub lie streets and the work done at the expense of the property owners, they were set in pea gravel and tar joints. When they were ripped up this year to double track the streets and lay cnnduits they were put back without tar joints. and nobody saw pea gravel used, either. The dust and dirt of the street was good enough for binding when the work was being done at the expense of a private corporation; in fact, anything went, but nothing was too good and no expense too great when the money was coming out of the pockets of the people. This is con sidered sound business policy, not poll tics, simply because the republican party is at the helm, but if the other fellows were in and that kind of thing going on. the boot would be on the other foot and in all probability pub lie meeting would be called and great men would have much to say about 1t. It is being done under the business ad- and not one in a thousand gives 1t a thought.
 Under the business administration private man can't turn bucketful of n private corporation is permitted to con- meet its sand boxes with the service. It has repeatedly been said that the sewers were not constructed for the purpose of carrying off surface water, which Is true. but if the presence of surface water from private residence ls objectionable fin the sewers what is the reason surface water collected into certain places by private corporation and turned into the sewer does no harmT Is this the square deal7 If so the less of 1t we get so much the bet ter.
 \ great effort has been made to get the business administration to make a move in the matter of water rates 30 that small consumers would not be- paying more for a cupful of city water than large consumers put up for more than would overflow hogshead. The present schedule of prices was es- tablished years ago when very little water was used through meters and none sold for manufacturing purposes. But conditions have changed very ma terially in Waterbury during the past ten or fifteen years and at the present lime probably the greater portion of our water supply is used for msnufac- turing and commercial purposes and disposed of in large quantities through meters at price wholly out of prOpor- lion 10 what small consumers pay, As ] result of this more than two-thirds | 1f the people are paying a sti1 price | Tor water while their nelghbors are getting the service for little or nOth- | Ing.
