Good Leaders to Follow.

Mir. Editor: l was very much inn pressed by MT. Bartlett's letter and figures. While I have given some thought to the water question, l could not reconcile myself to the statement in regard to a 20-inch pipe necessary from Jordan brook and a 24-inch pipe necessary from Stony brook; and why it should be necessary to give to an intelligent public any such rot. It would seem to me that the old woman of Franklin street. that citizen speaks of in The Record under date of Feb. 1 knew her business and had probably done a little figuring on her own hook on a basis of 24-inch pipe to Stony brook as well as a 20-inch pipe to Jordan brook.
 Now, MT. Editor, what is the nigger in the woodpile?
 Taxpayers, you have followed poli- tics for the past ten years and you have run into the incest kind of water famine, and the end is not yet Why not cali halt and follow such men as Allen of Worcester Blake of Boston, Richards of New London, Winters, Kelley and Wasley of Nor wich and come to your own. We have sacrificed everything for Pease brook. even the Trading cove pumping station tby the way, l suppose the engineer IS drawing his salary, and the city is paying interest, and the authorities leil you you uoH Ike uONloISu NdtCl and they won't give it to you until it is necessary, after pumping a solution of chloride of lime from a swimming pool called Mohegan lake for the past two months). If they can get you up to Jordan brook by June and the freshet supTay is gone, it is only a little way from the pipe line to Avery's pond on the Pease brook, and there you are!

Mir. Editor:-The Salvation Army To- cal corps of Norwich is praying, and has always prayed, for the city, and it's destitute families. An article in The Bulletin states that the City Mission of the United Workers are abundantIy able and sufficiently equippctt to hand 'le wisely all cases found that come under their notice.
 The United Workers as d body may think and feel that this is so, and we heartily endorse the United Workers as a body, and feel tisat as an organ ization they are able to do a great amount of good. But we also feel that we have little part to play, although it may not be on a grand scale.

Another Taxpayers Idea.

Mir. Editor: I have read the various articles that have appeared in the col umns of your excellent paper concern ing the water. question for this city, and have been amazed at the way things have been boemed by the diff ferent political factions of the city.
 I am not much of politician, but I do believe it to be the duty of those elected to serve the people of this city u seek to do it, at the least possible expense, consistent with good morals. |. Having voted to use the water from Trading cove brook, and having appro- priated the sum of S30,000 for laying a pipe line, and for the needful machin- cry to pump the water into the reser- voir, or into the water mains, would like to inquire why in the name Of common sense do they not ''get a move on' and do it?
 The state chemist does not say that ttose germs which he found in the samples of wSter sent him by our distinguished health officer are really bad fellows.
 He simply says that there may be some danger in using the water, unless it is first of all treated" to chemi- cais.
 What would he say. think you, if he co uld have examined some of the water which we have been using, and are still using?
 I mean the water IndC I1OWS Into Fairvisw from Mead 5w brook.
 Do you not think that there are just as many germs and just as bad ones in ttat water as can be found in the water taken from Trading cove brook ? The sources of contamination at the brook can be very easily removed, if there are any, and at very small ex- pense.
 With the help of Trading cove brook Norwich has all the water the city will iIeed during the present genera ton, or until the obstructionists of her progress shall have been gathered unto their fathers and laid safely away in one of her Repositories reserved for all who outgrow their usefulness and long to go to the happy hunting ground, where. perchanca, there may be an abundance of water-unless for sooth. because of their contumacy and hardness of heart to believe the truth while they were here the boatman who naVigates the Stygian stream may deem 1t wisdom first. to steer his cargo towards the neither world. where it is said perpetual shortage of water ex- ists, and thereby teach them to 1p- preciate the sufferings inflicted upon an innocent people for many needless months.
 I think that l voice the sentiments cs the great majority of the people of the city when l say Let us vote down all sources of supply until we have made a fair trial of our new plant, which is all ready to fill up the great reservoir recently enlarged to such capacity that Norwich might have an abundance of water for ages to comeiI
 We did we'll when we were asked to vote on the Pease brook matter. and let us do likewise when we get to- Eether tonight to vote on the Jordan brook question.

Although we hear every day of the country's unequaled prosperity, the free labor bureau of the Bowery Mis- sion, 227 ,Bowery, New York, reports that there are now in the city more idle men than ever before, many able, honest men, qualified for any sort of farm work, laborers of every descrip- tion, skilled workers and others, all wanting work, yet finding none to do.
 The missions labor bureau exacts no fees whatever and welcomes communi- cations from anyone in need of capa- ble men for any kind of work. It's share in relieving the condition of New York's unemployed has been very large and the manager of the bureau, Mr. J.
 T. Hunt, to whom letters should be ad- dressed, is constantly hearing from employers, expressing gratitude for the men supplied and their proven worth.
 A few excerpts from such letters from representative employers will suffice to show the quality and ear nestness of the mission bureaus men. Henshaw Bros, florists, Springfield, N. J., write: "Thos. Campion has made good and lived up to your recom- mendation." The National Employment Exchange, IA State street, New York, says: We are much impressed by the character of the men you have been sending to us.'' s. Allen Cooney. of John A. Roebling's Sons Co.,, Trenton, N. J., reports: T have never had a dishonest man or boy from the mis- sion. The man sent last is execution ally good. / He can turn his hand to anything, is 8 willing worker and is a pleasant person to have around" Will bur F. Crane. Somerville N. J., states
 "The two laborers sent were first rate workers and not inclined to Iay off when I am not around" Harry Pet teys. Greenwich. N. Y, says: 'sThe man you sent Is the best we ever had He has not lost milking in five months. I have hired him for another year.

full payment of all his rights. As the estimates given say that the price oi water rights are to De added to the figures given. we find that the cost al Stony brook will be $30S.000 and al Jordan brook s3o7 ,000 Is it probable that the cost of the rights at Jordan brook will be more?
 These figures plainly show that al Stony brook we can obtain
 A larger watershed,
 A larger daily yield,
 larger storage capacity at practically the same cost.
 It must be noted that the reservoir surface at Stony brook l60 acres) is less than at Jordan brook (90 acres), indicating a greater depth of the water stored. also a much smaller surface subject to evaporation. The distance to Stony brook is about one-half the distance to Jordan brook.
 It may be- of interest to many to know that the distance from the main dam site at Stony brook is almost ex- actly two miles to the turnpike at Maplewood cemetery.
 It is to be hoped that the people of this city may have the opportunity to vote in fair manner upon this ques- tion of Stony brook or no.
 Give the people d chance to say II they want it and if not that ought to end it. Let it be by ballot as at the last meeting and as I understand 1t is to be at the meeting on Friday even ing.
 If the people are so opposed as is represented by the partisans of Pease brook and the other sources they should not be afraid to do so.

BREED THEATER.

The County Fair, in all its glory. Is the feature picture at the Breed the aaer, and is an especially strong pro- auction. being presented precisely as van the big drama of nature by the ,saxns name. by Neil Burgess, and from his manuscripts.
 Aunt Abby with all her fancied grfev- ances and her many homely charms appeals to everyone because of her big heart. and every scene being a familiar one the audience follows the picture with unbroken interest and pleasure. The rreat race. in which Cold Molasses wins the money that pays off the mort xnse on the old homestead, is the feat ura of the picture and wins abundant applauee as the favored horse comes frst under the wire.
 The Biograpll story of the Italian tnxber is a wild scream, and the pa- thec5c story is highly enlivened by the many ludicr-ous incidents. Miss Bru- renu and MT. Ca3Sins appear at every psrecrmance in illustrated songs.
