 --JanNs Morrison of South Wilson street is laid up at his home suffer- ing with blood poisoning and is being attended by pr Russell. Mir Morri- son is the gentleman who sent in the alarm at the fire box at the cor ncr of Riverside and Bank streets one day last week when the compan- les were called out for the fire in Wards Flats he broke the glass on the box with his fist and some of the glass penetrated his hand.
 Patrick McNamara of Bank street holds the prize for the best patch of celery ever seen in this dis trict aud some very flne specimens of the plant could always be found be- yond the mighty Naugatuck. But the plants in MT McNamara's garden are an exception, some of them being large enough to last 8 family for the winter. He gave them no. special care and attributes their phenomenal growth to the fact that the seeds were of superior quality. and but one or two others have them in Wa. terbury.

 Hans Rasmussen, one of the most active members of the Town Plot Improvement society, was asked to-day how he liked the appropria- tions as agreed to by the aldermen. He said he didn't care to be quoted on the matter, but he finally admit ted that he was of the opinion that the amount appropriated for roads was wholly inadequate to the needs of city of this size. "Rut." he added, probably 1t might be very dihicult to get any more without hampering some other department or raising the rate of taxation so high that ordinary mortals would regard tf h,Vrdo ucop,o V',,, n e~ai1 u,. ~.~,t expect to raise much more by direct taxation until We have revision of the district lines. If this 15 mill tax could be levied upon all property that is supplied with city water, lights. a measure of police protection and Is in line for sewers, the sum total would almost double what you will have under the present arrange ment. Now. we want to be fair about these things and If we don't we should be compelled to. A very large portion of the community have near. ly everything in the way of improve. ments, but they don't pay any more taxes than those who have none at all. For my own part. even out WhosC AANCs u WC u&u u tuoIu tuOIs, ,ughfare, little light. water and my police protection at all, I should pay more, and you want to remember that I'm away out in lhe country. while others that pay but little more and some on the same oasis have every whim catered to, wen the trolley going by their doors. think this is where the shoe pinches md permanent relief will not come until the corn is removed. We're ioing nothing up our way now but 'awing wood, but We are by no means asleep and have an eye out for what the next year will bring" Discuss ng the question farther MT Rasmus. 'sn said that he believed these evils vill soon become so apparent that ven those who appear to be profit Ing by their existence will suffer. for will move so painfully How some will come forward and ask o be taken into the full taxation dis rict, So that they may be in a posi-. ion to demand these things as their tight instead of trying to bully the 'ity out of them at bargain sale ,rices.
