Fath CT Carr then turned to the dark Ireland. He referred to the schools that Sprang up as the result of St Patrick's teaching and ministry. In closing Father Carr asked the ques. tion: Is there any hope that Ireland will ever be free? That St Patrick's $ hope will ever be realized? This ques- tion has been asked for a thousand years. There is a hopeful outlook in Ireland. The people are beginning to buy back the lands which were stolen from their ancestors. The people now can send their children to school and can have the sacraments administered without moleStation. It is the hope and ambition of every Irisbman to see the old land prosper. In the words of President Roosevelt, while we can praise her for her virtues, we are justi- fled in view of history in praising her for her imperfections. We all want to make good citizens of this country The Irishman has always done his duty as citizen. But let us not for get St Patrick. He should ever go before us as sort of guide.
 A fine sacred concert was enjoyed with solos by the Misses Hartigan and Hawkins of Bridgeport, MT Bresson and Miss Mamie Burke of Danbury Prof Dunneen, organist of St Peters church, Danbury, presided at the or gan. Father Fox officiated at the Beaediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

held at the home of Czar Keeler. In passing it might be we'll to state that the given name of MT Keeler had no | significance indicating character. He is remembered in Newtown as a cour- teous gentleman, thoroughly democrat ic in his ways and deferential towards others. 'TiS no wonder Shakespeare asks, "What's in name?" At the meeting held in MT Keeler's house Charles Chapman was chosen clerk and Asa Chapman warden. Other officers elected were Benjamin F. Shelton, senior burgess; Eli Bennett, Ezra Glover, Thomas Blackman, Squire Dibble and David B. Botsford, junior burgesSes; Henry Beers, treasurer; Theophilus Nichols, bailiff; and John Johnson, collector of taxes. It is in- teresting to glance through the records of the borough to see the nature of the business transacted at the meetings of the burgesses. In 1925 certain people were allowed the privilege of feeding their cattle on the highway for the sum of 25 cents. In February, 1928, for the first time, it was voted to pave and flag the sidewalks.
 BOROUGH GETS WOBBLY.
 Meetings of the officials of the bor- ough were held regularly for l5 years or so. It, however, became evident to the leading men of the community that the borough government was not suitable to the place and that it in- vOlved an expense for which there was no commensurate advantage, The meetings of the burgesses began to grow very irregular, and the interval between two meetings was at one time 10 years.
 The citizens of the borough, in neg lecting to hold annual meetings for the choosing of officers, overlooked the fact that they violated the second section of the original borough charter, which provided that ''for the better govern ment of said borough be it further re- solved that there shall be meeting of said borough holden annually in the month of May at such time and place as by the bylaws of said borough shall be directed for the purpose of choosing all the officers of said borough"
 At the session of the General Assem- bly, held in 1s4S petition was received from Theophilus Nichols and others asking that the electors of the borough be authorized to meet at the house of Salu P. Barnum to elect officers, and stating that they had exercised the corporate privileges of the borough up to May, 1844, "when by accident they omitted to appoint their annual of- ficers." The prayer of the petition was granted and the electors were empow-

ABLE LECTURE BY FATHER CARR AT ST ROSES CHURCH, SUNDAY EVEN
 ING,

Despite the unpleasant walking and
 the darkness of the night, Sunday
 evening, an audience numbering l5O people gathered at St Roses church to enjoy the sacred concert and eloquent lecture on "St Patrick" by Rev J. C.. Carr, an assistant priest at St Peters church, Danbury. Father Carr spoke without notes and held the close att tention of his audience. He said in part: It matters not where the Irish man is, in far off Australia, in Canada, or in this land, his heart reverts on St Patrick's day to the home Uf his child hood, or the home of his parents. We are all glad on this day to honor St Patrick, who was Ireland's redeemer. For we believe he was sent by our Lord and Savior, as Paul was sent to convert
 the Gentiles. We are here to honor
 the memory of St Patrick. In the year 1900 the great Roman empire was

 The petition to the general assem- l bly, for the incorporation of Newtown into borough was signed by William Edmund and other residents of the town. It was presented at the session held in New Haven in May, 1924. The request of the petitioners was granted.

something of interest, at least. But, unfortunately, the ifs must remain as an inconvenient condition of the prop osition and nothing is left for New town to do but to allow the govern ment under the borough charter to continue in abeyance or-to quote from the phraseology of former pres ident who had turn for phrase mak- ing-in a condition of innocuous deSu- etude.
 VIEWPOINT AS A BOROUGH.
 From the time of it's organization as township in I'll to 1924, a period of 113 years, Newtown was satisfied to worry along with town government. In the second century of it's existence it became ambitious to havesa govern ment that would give it greater scope for it's ambition. There were then two borough governments in the state. Stonington had been existing under a borough charter since 1901, and Gull ford's borough was esta ablished l4 years later, in 1915. Stonington had pop ulation of 3,O56, decrease of about 2,3OO from what it had in 1900, and Guilford boasted of population of 4,131, the highest number it has had in its history.
 There were five cities in the state | New Haven, New London, Hartford Middletown and Norwich, all of which were chartered 17S4, the two former at the January session and the others the following May.
 The people in Newtown, who car recall what their fathers used to say about the movement to secure bor. ough government for the town, state that in 1924 there was every reason to hope that in 50 years, at least, the community would have outgrown it's borough limitations and that it would have developed into proportions fitting it for the responsibilities of city gov ernment. Indeed, envious eyes were cast IHartford-wards, which then hao only 4,OOO more people than Newtown and the hope was cherished that New town would in the course Of a decade or two exceed the city in population Newtown has always been an industri

cred to take steps for the resumption of borough government.
 A record is made of 8 vote passed June IT, 1876, to erect "Liberty Pole," and committee, consisting of Charles H. Peck, Edwin Clarke and B. w. Fair child, was appointed to prepare for the "momentous occasion" as the raising of the pole is periodically described. There seems to have been revival of interest in the affairs Of the borough in 1883. At the session of the General Assembly of 1883 Senator William N. Northrop, who was then senator from the old Fifteenth district, introduced an amendment to the borough charter by which the powers of the borough officials was extended to enable them to establish an effective fire depart ment. This amendment was passed. In that year it was voted to purchase a hook and ladder truck to cost not more than $500, and on August 25, 1883. it was voted to borrow $50 at the low est possible rate of interest. Other meetings were held during the year and on May 10, 1884, tax of 10 mills was laid.
 BOROUGH GOES TO SEED.
 The last election of officers for the borough was held May ,, 1885. The officers elected were: Warden, Marcus c. Hawley; clerk, Charles F. Boards ley; senior burgess, L. B. Booth; bur gesses, William J. Dick, O. F. Boards ley, M. J. Cavanaugh, Elmer W. Fair child, M. J. Houlihan; treasurer, Hen ry T. Nichols; collector, W. J. Beecher bailiff, John H. Blacknlan. Of thes, officers Warden Hawley, Senior Bur gess Booth, Burgess Dick and Treas urer Nichols are dead.
 It is expected that meeting vii! h held, this year, to elect new officers not, however, to resume the bOrougI government in an active form, but t till the vacancies. The IartfoT
