special City Meeting.

Four officials of the city constituted the special city meeting held on Thurs day morning at 9o'clock-Mayor John J McGarry, City Clerk Leon T. Will son, strret Superintendent Fred Du- mas and City Janitor Henry Williams. The meeting was unusually harmo- nions and felt the responsiIity resting upon it. 1t was no less than to see If the city would appropriate $500 to pay for sprinkling certain streets until the assessments are collected from the abut- ters. The Mayor presided and called the meeting to order; the city clerk read the wirning the street superintendent moved the adoption Of the appropris- tion, and the janitor seconded 1t, and 1t was carried unanimously. The ap- propriation was too trifiing aniaffair to require the 2,O00 voters to lose al least a quarter of a day merely to advance that sum as loan to property owners who are to return 1t when demanded. Time is money in this lively business city, and it would cost them about $500 to go to the meetingito say they would advance that amount as loan.

State Convention of T. A. & B. Society

At the last annual convention of the Total Abstinence ana Benevolent So- ciety of Connecticut it was voted to hold the convention of 1909 in this city, The local organization was very much gratified at this announcement, notwithstanding that it meant nntit- ing labor for months on its part, as the members fully realized.
 The organization in this city is not large, there being but membership of some fifty in all, with Ladies Auxil iary-recently formed-of about the same membership. They are not a wealthy organization. Their purpose is not to make great show and noise, but to work quietly, but not the less thoroughly and effectively. to promote the cause of temperance.
 In entertaining the members of the coming convention there will necessa- rily be considerable expense entailed. But no sooner had the Convention an- nounced to the local Society that this year the meeting was to be held in this city, and it would have to entertain the delegates of the State organization than the two local organizations began to form plans to raise sufficient means to meet their imposed hospitality and to do themselves and their city credit They first began to hold small enter tainments To start fund.
 Although the convention is still quite a distance off-September ,, 6, I-the members are busily working out their plans, so as not to leave any needed de- tail to be executed al the last moment.
 As yet they have made no direct ap- peal to the public, nor sought individ ual subscriptions, trusting that when their efforts and purposes were general ly understood, there would be suffi- cient interest aroused to extend the fi- nancial assistance needed.
 The cause the Society represents and the work in which it is engaged is im- portant to the welI-being of the city, and they should have the sympathy and help of all citizens. Any one, therefore, willing to bestow financial help to promote this important work, and to give encouragement to those so earnestly engaged in it, can communi- cate with Joseph H. Egan, of No. B School street, or with Frank H. Cor dier, 37 Green street. All donations and contributions will be publicly ac- knowledged.
 At a meeting of the convention com mittee, held Monday evening, if was voted 10 change the date of the Conven- ton, which is to meet here, from Sep tember l2-l4, 10 Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, September ,, 6, and '.
 September s, being Labor Day, will give an opportunity foria greater num- Der to attend the Convention. On that day il is expected that between 5o0 and 5oo visitors will be present al the Con- yention.
 It looks like a big undertaking for so small an organization as is the IA. X E. Society to undertake, 10 flttingly Hentertain 50 large an anticipated body of guests But the members have as- sumed the duty of hosts and hostesses, and whatever the task and expense may be, they propose 10 carry II to a success that will reflect on our city an honor for its generous and delightful
