THE NEW OFFICERS

The new city officers, who will
be sworn in Tuesday have a
great opportunity to better the
condition Of Lexington and must
only keep the pace set by their
predecessors to do sos The cit
liens have shown their con
idence in Thos. Walton, the
mayor-elect, and he will go into
Office hampered by no individ,
ual obligations and u~ntrammeled
by promises Of appointments.
The only policy TO which he is
committed is continued improve
ment and square dealing, and by
those who placed him in power
he is expected fully to live up to
his promises.
In regard to every other new
officer practically the same may
be said. Lexington is a grand
old city and those in charge of
its affairs have a magnificent OPP
portunity. The citizens will
watch their careers with in

The city ofLexington is deeply
indebted to every one of the city
officials who are about to retire
from their Offices. The admin
istration during the last two
years has been admirable and
Lexington is now at a point Of
municipal excellence which is far
ahead of anything in the past
history of the town.
Oswald Winkler has been an
ideal mayor. During his admin
istration of six years Lexington
has changed from an ordinary
country town to a little city.
The principal streets have been
paved with vitrifed brick and
miles of granitoid and cement
sidewalks have been laid. The
public schools have been greatly
enlarged and improved; the
beautiful city hall, a great mon
ument Of the city's progressive
ness, has gone up; the sewer
system has been extended.
Backed by a public spirited body
of men, he was the leading figure
in the forward movement.
There were, of course, some
people opposed to the improve
ments he advocated, but now
everyone realizes that the city
is better off for them. To Os-
valid Winkler is due great
praise.
George Schawe, the defeated
candidate for mayor, retires
from long and useful service in
the council. He has been one
of Mr.. Winkler's chief advisers
and is responsible for many
betterments. Alwaysa member
of the principal committees he
has given up a great deal Of
valuable time to public work.
has been one of the most
men that ever belonged
to the council.
Edward Aull, the other retir-
ing councilman, has also been
one of the most conspicuous
members of the city's executive
During the Mayors
absence last year, Mr.. Aull was
chosen as president pro TEN of
the council and performed the
Of his temporary Office
admirably. In him the the city
loses an excellent officer.
Judge Joseph Chinn, who was
defeated for reelection to the
of police Judge, has made
an entirely creditable record in
office and has given the city a
great deal of benefit at a mini
mum expense.
AL Walk, who was not returned
to the Office of marshal, has been
an efficient preserver of the
peace. He has helped clean out
gambling joints, stop Sunday
selling and preserve order
on the streets.
Not one Of the retiring officers
has been Sinking or incompet-
ent, and each one can feel that he
has done his duty for the city

GREAT BOND ISSUE is
TO BE SOLD TOMORROW

New York, Feb. 13.-Fifty million
dollars in New York City municipal
bonds will be sold tomorrow. The
interest on these bonds is Az per
cent, and Controller Metz expects to
obtain high prices for a part if not
all of the issue.
This sale is an assuerd success, in
that ]. P. Morgan & Co., are willing
to take all or any part of the issue.
SO the flotation of the $50, 100000
is guaranteed. The Controller had
been advised not to issue the bonds
just now, in view of recent financial
conditions. but believed the high
credit of the city and the excellent
rate of interest were certain to make
the move a good one and vindicate
his financial judgment. Bidders for
parts of the loan, from small
amounts up to millions. are looked
for by Controller Metz. and at good
prices. Should the general public
or investing concerns not buy them
all, the remainder will be taken by
Morgan.
There will be sold 100000 of
corporate stock, "for various NUM-
cipal purposes; s6,O00,0O0 corpor-
ate stock to provide for the supply
of water; S2,500,0O0 corporate stock
for the construction of the Rapid
Transit Railroad; s1,OO0,000 corpor-
ate stock for the construction of the
New York Public Library building
in Bryant Park; all of these being
fifty-year-term bonds; $1,500,00O
assessment bonds for street i'm
provements, due on November L,
1917, and $1,50O,000 assessment
bonds, for street and park openings

MINISTERIAL UNION MEETING.
Organization Met in Bellows Falls
Monday for First Time.

The Bra,tlcloro Ministerial union met
in the yestry ot the lniyersaist church,
Bellows Falls. Monday and l. members
were present. six new names were added
TO the list making total membership
of y. Dinner was served AZ the Hotel
Windham. The program included an adj
dress by Rev. j. Il. Rearion OF Spring
field ON The Need OF Reform ia the Treat
ment of the Criminal. lie brought out the
idea that vengeance rs punishment
should give place To correction IN dealing
with a criminal. lie looked for the time
when each case should be considered wlth
regard to its environment and lndiNlduai
circumstances. The present method oil
holding a criminal responsible apart from
the circumstances that led up TO the
crime was sharply criticised. The speaker
also emphasized the idea Of keeping the
prisoners guilty OF minor otienses apart
from those who were stepped IN crime.
Rev. +. l.. Maxwell OF Walpole, y: H.,
gave an excellent paper on The Basis OF
the Union OF the Churches. lie held
that the intellectual union OF churches
was absolutely impossible, since in no walk
of life would it be possible to bring about
unification of intellectual thought. 1t
was. however. clearly possible to develop
a unity in government and organization.
Just as the United States government Is
the central supreme governing body, so
could centralized church government
be realized. As the several states enjoy
sovereignty except what is delegated TO
the federal government, so could the sew
eral denominations enjoy their liberty,
their freedom and individuality. United
on matters of general interest but separate
in affairs peculiar to their own ,creedss
and doctrines, the advantages derived
would be apparent. The speaker hoped
that the near future would see some
scheme evolved and put into active shape
which would unite all OF the protestant
religious bodies.
