work could be done by teams, consid- ering the amount of filling needed. and the necessity of doing the street filling as rapidly as possible after work has once been started.
 There is also a lot of filling to be done on the new Jackson street, and on the northerly thirty feet of Freight street, but it Is expected that a very large part. if not all of this. will be done by public dumping. as there will not be so great urgency in these cases as In Willow and Mea- dow streets No doubt it will be found necessary to pave Willow and Grand streets as we'll as Freight street. Making Liberty street will cost good deal, principally for land. And so with the street up to Town Plot, with the street across the Man han meadows and the new streets at Waterville.
 But judging from similar opera tions in the past no one of these items can be greater than is reasona- ble, and the fact that a lot of them are grouped together for the sake of getting concessions from the railroad should not be used as an argument against carrying them out.
 So far $40O,0O0 has been pro- posed by the board of aldermen and should be sufficient to secure all land needed and do all the work which can be done within the next two years. From time to time thereafter provision will be made for building other streets until ultimately the whole will be finished. Some of the work ought to be done out of regu- lar appropriations"

in which the following points are GOV

in which the following points are coy- ered.''
 Here Mr Cairns went over the rail- road agreement, point by point. re- ferring to maps. He continued:
 "l think you will all admit that these plans refer to, and attempt to provide for, street facilities which will be of very great value to this community, and that in all probabil- ity they can never be secured here after at any reasonable expense Some of them may at first strike you as planned on too liberal a scale, but further consideration will tend to weaken this impression.
 We have for generation past made the mistake of laying out streets too narrow, and have been negligent about securing large open areas at street intersections. As a result the existing street system fur nishes misleading scale with which to measure new projects. When these streets are completed (and they will probably take several years) those who make use of them will have no regret unless it be that they were not made wider, straighter and more nearly level.
 In discussing such measures as this agreement between the city and the railroad men. one should bear in mind tho importance to the city of providing for the most convenient avenues of approach to the railroad, of considering the probably great growth of the city, which will make demands on the street system far in excess of the past, and also the indis- putable fact that the present is a most favorable opportunity for get ing the contemplated improvements Those who discuss the matter should also inform themselves as to the facts, and not permit so impor- tant subject to be confused by mis- statements. It should also be borne in mind that these projects are con cerned with the needs of the whole body of citizens rather than with certain sections and that they con. cern not only the present but the flu. ture as we'll. Especially should one avoid the idea that there are any hid. dcn meanings or purposes in the | agreement. Too many different peo pie well known for business abilit, and loyalty to Waterbury have had to do with tho negotiations for an, such thing to have crept into it. Much can be ss-d in favor of the whole scheme. The only objection which can properly be urged is that the cost will be great. There is con siderable valuable land to be ac quired. especially on South Willow street, in widening that street. ant on Grand and Cedar streets. Raisins the grade of Willow and Meadow streets may be the largest single item of construction cost, and 1t wa! for this reason that it was thought wise to arrange with the railroad company to do this work at a fixed price. The price is lower than tho

 The boy only let out one yell, but that was enough to draw the other members of the family to the bath room. where they found him in the water.

A Copenhagen dispatch states that
some Danish fishermen were sur
rounded by sharks on the fishing
grounds far out in the North sea. The
sharks were from twelve to fifteen feet
long, and they rushed around and un-
der the boat with such speed that the
water seemed to boil. When the fish
hooks were pulled in the fish on them
were half eaten by the sharks. The
lines were pulled up for fear that the
sharks would bite them off. The men
felt sure that if one of them had
dropDed into the water he would have
been attacked by the sharks at once
The greedy monsters followed the men
until they were within a short distance
of the shore.
