orangeites to think about is the al- leged gain to be made by abandoning town government for city government. They should remember that the re- cord made by municipal govern ments is not such as to convince anybody that they possess the quality of endurance. The movement is stead- fly away from them and towards a form of government based on the old New England town principle with such expansion as business needs call for.
 In other words the tendency is to- wards a more simplifed government in which fewer offices are to be filled by the electorate and in which a simpler machine does the work required of it. There Is absolutely no call for city to govern the rural part of the town of Orange. It is the size of the borough of West Haven and the virtual failure of the borough to give good govern ment that has persuaded influential residents to boom the city idea. They believe rather than know that better results will flow from a municipal or ganization. If they have estimated the cost of municipal government, the con- fusion which will at once arise from 1 the multiplicity of offices to be filled and the bother of practical politics which win come on larger scale, their {, proposed charter gives no hint of it. Many of the evils of municipal organ ization which have been repudiated by older cities are therein revived, while practically none of the virtues has been emphasized. Speaking broadly it is hodge podge and will surely dis turb the political serenity of the town without bestowing a single blessing, To adopt such a charter and found such a city without the most careful study of the consequences would be the height of folly.
 As for the larger aspect of tAe case, namely the possible annexation of the borough of West Haven Or the town of Orange itself as a whole, it ought not to be heedlessly neglected. It is quite possible that the time is not ripe for 1t yet, and surely it ought not to come until West Haven orSDrange is ready for it, but care should be taken to make assurance doubly sure that conditions are more favorable to the perpetuation of an independent city close to the city of New Haven than to the common welfare of the consoll- dated territory under annexation. Nat ural conditions have forced considera- ton of annexation and it will be a wonder If in a few years, whether the proposed city is established or not, the town of Orange does not plead for it It is an easy thing to talk about g city, but 1t is difficult matter to or ganize it and manage it. If the resi- dents of Orange make good use ot the time given them between now and popular verdict, they will find them selves extremely busy ironing out doubts which are of pressing moment

During the long cold months of Winter many were sustained by the thought that Spring would come, Gen. tie Spring, the Spring that would bring escape from the bondage of the coal bod and give those who had been able to live to see 1t a chance to bask in the glowing and golden sunshine. But Spring has come and gone, and, according to the almanac and the dictionary, we are in Summer The
 cold rain, the cold wind and the fall- ing leaf indicate that we are in the
 Autumn, but appearances are deceit- full. Summer is here, though the chance of basking that was denied in the Spring is still denied. Any attempt to bask in what little imitation of sun shine there is would result in basking | in pneumonia and such. Soswe can not bask yet. There's good time
 coming, however, a time in which we can bask. Having hung on until now in the hope of basking let us persist. Upward and onward, until the time
 for basking comes.

Paris Is experimenting with what is called steel pavement. It is really a concrete pavement reinforced with a steel framework. The metal part of the pavement is plate of perforated steel, with strong bolts of steel running through 1t between the perforations. Each section has some resemblance to a steel harrow, only the prongs pro- ject equally on each side and they are square and blunt. It will be superior to asphalt in ultimate economy and to wood both in the better footing that 1t affords to horses and in the fact that 1t will not admit of dangerous ruts developing. The sample laid cost S. 40 a square metre Ga little more than a square yard), but when the work is done on large scale it is believed the price can be cut to about $450.
