WATER IN SCHOOLS.
Aldermen Have Not Taken Advantage
 of Law in This Case.


 There is nothing in the point raised last night by MT Goss regarding the price of water to the school and other departments of the city government unless the aldermen want to make a fuss over it. Four years ago the leg islature authorized the aldermen to charge ten per cent to all water con- sumers over and above the price paid by those on the inside, but the alder men never instructed the clerk to tack that onto the bills and as a con- sequence the additional charge never was made, although it is in the power of the aldermen to pass an order to that effect any time. During the present year the legislature authoriz- ed the aldermen to charge city depart ments for the use of water, but so far the aldermen never took advantage of this enactment and until they do nobody else can move in the matter. The price of water would be quite an item in the schools and if they had to pay for it they would have to figure it in among their estimates of eX- penses, but so long as the aldermen said nothing about it before the time for filing estimates, it was only fair for the different boards to conclude that the law would not go into effect next year and with this understand ing they prepared their estimates without counting upon paying for water. It is true that the board of public works passed a resolution some ;ime ago instructing the super intendent of water to take steps to put the new enactment into force,lnt .ne commissioners have no sucn au- t':nrity,so that 'hc action of the board of pdblic works cans nothing un- less it Is ..p: 'ed ;, the al,elmeE.

 The rain of last night and to-day has created the usual mud hole on Main street near the railroad bridge and it is surprising that this point cannot be improved by drain of some sort to carry off the water.

WE'VE HAD

the most troublesome time of our lives since last week. If there ever was a sorry man in Waterbury it was the man who writes our ads. You see we wrote Santa Claus to send us a whole lot of dolls, sleds, etc, for Christmas, and Santa Claus said he'd send them. But he has been at the telephone talking to Us every half hour since. He wants to know where all the good little boys and girls live and what's their names and how old they are. Well, we've told him where every kid" in town lives, so that part of 1t is settled. But he continues to ask other ques- tions He wants to know who are all the living saints" that Mayor Thoms is going to put on his new boards shortly. He says the Hon William is to be congratulated on finding the required number of "saints" in the city of Waterbury We'll, we didn't tell Santa Claus we were sorry to see him so mistaken in regard to his opinion of Water bury politicians (calling them Saints" oh me, oh my). But poor Santa Claus, as tired as he is, he asked questions for two hours about our board of health. He wants to know are they sleeping; he hasn't heard of them taking another trip of inspection few hundred miles away. He kinda thinks they have not got over tl-a last trip. He's well aware they are not good tea drink CTS. If they were they d have q new creamatory, the best in the state, built by this time. Remember, if yon want your brain to act quick, drink the kind of tea and coffee sold at
