BAR ASSOCIATION.
Taltis6 sf Dasqsss at nsssl Ilssn
 h the Near Fotuse.


 The Waterbury bar association have| about decided they shall have a ban-| quet in the near future in the EltOn.| Attorney ONeill had talk with Man- ager Judd Saturday about the mntter.| It was suggested that those who drink shall furnish their own cold bottles. sol that those who do not tipple shall not be obliged to pay for what they shall not partake Of Mir O'Neill told Man- ager Judd that the association have been waiting for year for this dinner and some of the members have not had square meal in that time. cxpet...ng every day the hotel would be ready and the much talked of banquet would take place. Times are so hard with the fraternity nowadays that they could hArdly afford to pay very much. Manager Judd said he would put up first class spread for S1 up to 8, and Mir UNeill told him that in all prOb-- ability in view of the condition of tha- lawyers appetite. they would take the $5 one for $1. The idea of each man supplying his own wine is all the go at the fashionable restaurants and cafes in the big cities. The question of decorations for the table appears to be vital point Some of the lawyers favor apple blossoms. Mir O'Neill who. Is a eonnoisseur on matters of this kind favors d0gberry blossom with some green. 1t is now thought that each plate will cost about s. or $1 for the actual dinner and E for expenses.

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.
Dees Contract Provide Special Fee
 for cssmatinf Dsal Animals.

There appears to be some conflicting opinions regarding the duties of the garbage contractor with reference to what Is required of him in the matter of collecting and disposing of dead animals, the public Interpreting the contract So as to make it obligatory on the contractor to remove and dispose of by cremation the carcasses of dead ami mals without any additional compensa
 ton and the contractor holding to and acting upon the idea that this clause had reference only to the carcasses of dead animals. found on the public streets. Mir Rigney's contract provid
 ed that he could charge for such ser vice. but with Mir Carroll it is differ
 ent. and most people held that 1t was not the intention that separate charge should be made in such cases as the removal of a dead horse or other animal no matter where the carcass might be located. The ordinary mortai would decide Off hand that according to the terms of his contract Mir Car
 roll is bound to remove and dispose of by cremation carcasses of dead ami mals'' as the contract reads whether tllct udYkttu tO UC Oil luc Stttl Oi Oh
 private property. but who knows what view the trained disciple of Blackstone might take of such question. In any case there is trouble brewing and 1t will take some time and considera- ton on the part of the business admin istration to straighten the matter out. The wording of the contract on rhis point Is rather indefinite. and probably that was what was intended, TOT 1t does not state where the contractors work begins or ends. It states that he shall cremate dead animals and do otlier things in consideration of the sum of $16,SO0. He Is cremating such car casses as are picked up on the streets. but when horse kicks out in mans barn or in his lot he does not consider 1t any part of his contract with the city to do that unless somebody pays for the additional labor. which is quite considerable, for in many instances animals die in very remote parts of Waterbury and it costs something to get hold of the carcasses and convey them to the crematory at Waterville.

CITY ATTORNEYS SALARY
First 0Aacial Who Respected Wishss
 of Minority.

There is whole lot of talk about town today regarding alleged muzzling of the press by the aldermen at tue meeting held last night when the ques. tiOn of increasing the salary of the city attorney was talked of. There Is nOth-s ing to it. The subject was introduced with the explanation that if such action was agreeable to both sides of the house. Mir Kellogg would be glad to accept tine increase; if not he didn't care to make a political issue of it. It was said th;ft the city attorney is now performing services which the town government and the Center school district paid large sums for prior to the act.of con solidation and that it was only fair that he should be paid something for the added labor. Mir Murray said tllat' probably some of the officials are enti- tied to more wages, but that there was q limit to what the taxpayers could stand and that he should refuse to make salaries any higher at the pres. ent. That was all there was to ii. No motion was made and there was no animated discussion or unseemly cOnr. duct which would necessitate the muz- LIiuk VI lIIc pCeS. III lgSPSNt' Mir Kellogg's position was highly com mendable. He is the first official to come along asking for an increase in salary who showed disposition to re- spcct the wishes of the minority. Oth- CTS have had their salaries increas sed by questionable methods and didn't care rap whether the minority of the public liked their tactics so long as they carried their point. Mir Kellogg may or may not be entitled to another thous- and dollars a year. but in any case he went about 1t in way that nobody could find fault with ndprobably that ix the yessonlwll he didn't get 1t. ;At is true that the public is alarmed at the way expenses arc being pushed up and nothing to show for Ii and as q consequence the only road 10 higher salaries Is by rcsorting to some sleiGht of hand performance at home or a leg islative enactment at Hartford.
