 The following communication has been received and is published by re- quest: 'I have read with much inter est fn the Stratford items in which 1t IS stated that if the watering trough at Barnum and Boston avenues is not erected soon it will be carried off for old junk. It does seem shame when the c1tizens assemble in town meeting ana pass certain resolutions and then for those procrastinating town offic- fals to hold these projects up until such time as suits their convenience The resolution passed at the annual town meeting last October instructed the selectmen to cause this watering trough to be erected before frost. Why have they not done SO? There the parts lay, knocked first to one side then to the other, ever since last fall It would seem to be better judgment to set the trough Tn posi- lion doing duty instead of being knocked about as it is. Be up and hoing, MT. Selectman. or the people will call another town meeting and Instruct you further on this matter; and at the same time will make some Inquiries why you don't install those lights at Bruce avenue bridge and Arect that hydrant on the same street, Hll of which were ordered"

You may be able 20 have a feW more

are nothing really worth while.
You had better spend a few minutes
more on car going to and from

pay out in rent. You had better get
along with little palmer home for
a while and have the satisfaction Of
owning it. You had better deny
yourselves a few Injuries now and
own something Of value when YOU

You lose every dollar you pay out

You lose the best peace and com
