REUNION.
A Good Attendance and Very Much
Erioyed in Brooks vile

| wish | could give a fair description
of the reception and entertainment of
the U. G. VS. by the citizens of Brooks
vile. 1t was, by far, the best l ever
attended. The train was greeted by a
choir Of lovely girls and fine young men
singing 'Dixie" which bestirred the

vited to the school house. the aged and
infirm being conveyed in buggies and

had been made for our entertainment.
AS soon as the camp was called to Or
der DR.. ]. S. Stanley delivered the ad-
dress of welcome in a strong and i'm
pressive manner, holding the attention
of the audience throughout his address.
This was followed by a short reply
from our friend, E, D. Cavett, who
was restricted in his remarks by the
prohibition of all matter having any
reference to politics.
After the speaking, we were invited
to dinner. All l can say of the latter,
is that it was characteristic of Brooks
vile bountiful beyond measure and OF
the BEST.
In the afternoon Hon. Walter Price
was called to the stand and delivered
one of his characteristic speeches., full
Of sound, patriotic logic, was highly
appreciated by all.
We were then invited to the home
of John w. Wilkins, where we were
received by the members of the Nox-

reception! The most delightful the
writer ever attended. Every atten-

FIRST PUBLIC MEETING
OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Nicholas Tarrant Appeared Before
Them and the Collection of Sewer
Assessments and the Building OF
Sewers Were Discussed

At the weekly meeting Of the exec
utive committee on Monday evening
the new rule went into effect that the
public might attend and be heard on
matters from 7.30 to 9.30-there was
but a small attendance, although all
the members were present
Nicholas Tarrant attended and had
a conference with the commission re-
garding the collection of sewer as
sessments and the building of sewers.
He considered that the city had been
lax in the collection of sewer assess
ments in the past and that gross in
justice was done taxpayers thereby
He thought that the cost of the sew
ers should be assessed against those
benefited by the sewers. and that If
the payments are not made within the
proper time that liens be placed on
the property and steps taken to see
that the amount is collected. He re-
ferred to the large amount which has
not been collected through failure to
place liens on property within the pre-
scribed time and stated that if such
money could be collected it would sur
prise the citizens 1t was voted by the
committee that the unsolicited
amounts be referred to the corporation
counsel. with instructions to have
them collected.
1t was stated during the evening
that it was doubtful if the assessments
for the sewers built last year in Roath
street and IdIIldH street touid ne tOl-
Iected, there being no authority for
the former and for the latter no as
sessment had been made
In regard to sewer construction MI
Tarrant was of the opinion that the
work should be done by contract but
he afterwards remembered the vote of
the city meeting, which was to the eff
feet that it should be done by the city.
and it was pointed out by members
of the committee. that it was much
furnished employment for local men.
Councilman Fowler stated that if Mr..
Tarrant could see the number of men
who are at the city barn every morn
ing looking for work, and many IF
them taxpayers, he would not consider
the letting of sewer work out by con-
tract. for which outside help could be
brOUoiIt in.

excellent. On the way out they had
a stop-off at Niagara Falls, but the
return journey was the specially en-

Fire Department Called Out but
Damage Was Not Heavy.

At sos o'clock Monday evening an
alarm from box 81 called the fire de-
partment to the house of Bruno Pc

after some medicine for a sick child.
She carried a kerosene lamp which
she dropped while in the closet and
which started a brisk blaze, as the
oil spattered for some distance. The
departments prompt response checked
the fire before it got much of a head

away considerable of a partition and
stairway to get "a the fire. The kitch-
en- is in the rear of the shoe repairing

the building. Not much water was re-
quired and the loss will not be very

there have been IA calls on the depart
ment. two being bell alarms No one

WHAT Mr.. LIIPPITT THINKS
OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Believes That Some Act Regulating
and Supervising Public Utilities Will
Become a Law.

The following is the reply of ex-
Mayor Costello Lippitt to the inquiry
of the Connecticut Business Mems as
ISOLATION the committee from which
has sent out inquiries to the candi-
dates for office in the coming state
election, Mr.. Lippitt being republican
candidate for state treasurer:
Il am somewhat surprised at this
inquiry, as 1 have not made a COM
plete study of the questions involved.
l have no doubt, however, as to the
necessity of some action on the. lines
indicated, and L fully believe that a
bill for the purpose named will meet
with the favor of the legislature and
become a law.
MY personal attitude in the matter
will be the same whether L am or am
not nominated for and elected to the
office of state treasurer To my mex
perienced observation the bill appears
to be well drawn and to cover almost
every point that could have occurred
to the mind of even an adept at draw
ing legislative acts.
Few bills are, however, presented
to the general assembly without crit
icism of some feature or features
thereof, and it is l believe, an eXcep-
tional case where some amendment is
not made in the most carefully drawn
bills.
Il have no doubt that some act for
the regulation and supervision of pub
lie service corporations will become
law and so far as L am personally
concerned 1 hope that a good, wise bill
will be proposed and will receive suf-
ficient favor to pass and be a just and
satisfactory statute Whether experts
will admit your bill to be perfect l
am not competent to judge. 1t seems
to me a well drawn and very complete
document, but, as | have already mai
Gated, it would be an exceptional in
stance if the committee to whom the
bill was referred should not have be-
fore them suggestions of amendment
that would be proper to consider and
perhaps embody in the final bill to he
passed and become a law"

1t is a rough country, however, a bout

the chances of mishap in case of an

able house they will be able to move
to any suitable aviation grounds they
may decide upon. The tent will not
be received before a month and as
necessary to enable the ayiatOrs to

state they do not expect to attempt
flight before October 1.
