REMARKABLE MONTH
Unusual Meteorological Features
Presented by January.

UnuSuai meteorological Features
Presented by January.
From meteorological standpoint
the month of January just passed
presents some unusual features. In
the first place ii was by far the warm
est January in the e Years that IA
record has been kept by w. b.
Gates of Burlington for the United
States weather bureau, The mean
temperature of the month was 3II
degrees, the average mean temporal
ture for January for the last % years
being 1919 degrees. The warmest
previous January was in 1850, with
mean temperature of 200 degrees.
The mean temperature of January,
1904, was 1873 degrees and of Janu-
AIRY, 1905, Y degrees. The maxi
mum temperature Of O. degrees on
the 23l was also the maximum tor
any January during the period Of %
wears. The minimum temperature
for the month was on the 9th, and
it was the only January in the %
years that the mercury did not touch
zero. The rainfall and melted snow
amounted to only 100 inch, the av-
erage January precipitation being
1851 inches. Only three Januarys
in 80 years show SO small precipita4
ton, while the total snowfall of only
three inches was by lar the least Of
any January in that period, Rain
on snow in amounts sufficient to
measure fell on 10 days, and there
were traces of precipitation ON six
other days. The wind was south IS
per cent of the time, and the month
was made up Of six clear, Il partly
cloudy and - cloudy days,

The popularity of Pat Rooney and Marion Bent was never more no- ticeable in this city than at the Jacques this week, where the nimbie dancers are the headline features of a well balanced vaudeville Dill. MT Rooney seems to enjoy his dancing and he goes at 1t with snap and dash which never fails to make his audience sit up and notice. And each season he has someth6ng new. The variety of dancing stunts never seems to become exhausted. The team has surely won favor this week and at every performance are generously ap- plauded. Miss Francesca Readings entertaining skit, Her Friend from Texas" is as amusing as ever and the clever situations and bright lines do not fail to excite roars of mirth. Harry LeClair, the character artist. contributes many laughs, and the Piccolo Midgets, athletes and com edians in miniature, Scott and Will son. the farmer and the athlete, have a clever offering, and Miss .-.arlotte Ravenscroft, the singing violinist. has been well received Maceo and Fox, the Coon Town Shutters, and the electrograph, with new pictures, com piete the -.

SOMETHING WRONG
High Taxes if Waterbury Accom-
 modated All School Children,

The remarks made at the meeting of the board of aldermen Monday night regarding the needs of the schools demonstrated in no uncertain way what the cost of this depart ment would be if the city had to pro- vide school accommodations for all the children. IfIthat were 50 the rate of taxation would run up to about 30 mills on the dollar. When one stops to consider the large num- Der of children who are educated at the expense of private corporations he cannot but conclude that there IS something wrong in the management of all the city departments else the expense could not be what 1t is when so much is done by others. Commis- sioner Chapman pointed out the evil when he said that experience had taught the school officials that lt pays to employ their own carpenters, painters and masons, but MT Chap man knows that if city board lived up to the provisions of the charter It could not do things that way no mat-
 ters how much it saved. Waterbury is robbed by charter provisions that compel the city to pay two prices for everything t gets done and as con sequence rate payers are dlssatlshed and yet many of them appear bind to the source of the trouble. The different boards are at the mercy or contractors that come here from all parts of the country and pick up the cream of what is going and in many instances when they get their money they disappear. leaving behind many unpaid bills, so that not only the city government, but merchants and la boring men are being euchered out of their rights by charter which it would seem works in favor of every body except the taxpayer. There is another way of accounting for the trouble in meeting the demands of the different departments. The town is not half policed, but the claim is made that if any additions should be made the tax rate would have to be pushed up, and there you are. Wa terburv should have an excursion to Hartford some day when the legis- lature is in session and have a heart to heart talk with the men who make our laws Ii not, something will soon drop, for things cannot continue much longer in their present shape.
