Always. upon the converting Of the
General Assembly for its biennial ses-
sion. what may be called the bonding
season opens. From all sides come
propositions for new bond issues by
the city. for purposes which may or
may not be really necessary. Three
notable propositions are now pending
-one for a 100000 High School. an
other for $4,000 Hall of Records.
and still another for a 100000 bridge.
Doubtless. others are sin the works.
The three mentioned would add three
quarters Of a million to the city's
debt. Opponents of these propositions
assert that the present High School
building can be enlarged: that by re-
arrangements in the City Hall. suffi-
cient room for records for 20 years to
come can be secured. and that while
new piers may be needed for the East
Washington avenue bridge. the traffic
does not demand a new and larger
structure.
These three propositions would. If
the bonds could be placed at per
cent, add $4,000 to the amount which
must be raised by taxation each year.
The question to be considered by
those who act finally upon these prop
ositions. is not whether the city can
use the new structures. but whether
it can get along without them and
thus save the taxpayers from a new
burden.

evinces steady improvement. If the
campaign to I'LL his position could be
extended about a year. and in this
way bring him into a better knowl-
edge OF public sentiment. he might
even become an Insurgent. He has
declared that some of the tariff duties
are too high. and that a permanent
tariff commission of experts should be
created. and now he is credited with
stating that New England does not

NOW. III is COUNTY BOSS KING

The position of county boss of the
Republican party is not recognized by
the State statutes or by the formal
rules Of the organization. but 1t exists
nevertheless and is Of considerable
strategic value. besides exercising
more or less power over Federal and
state patronage For years 1t has
been occupied by Sheriff Hawley,
though with some question as to the
relative power exercised by Judge
Banks Of Fairfield. Hon. Stiles Judson
OF stratford. and certain negligible
quantities of Norwalk. Stamford and
Greenwich.
The defeat Of Sheriff Hawley at the
November elections abated his preten-
tons to the position. for one who
could not carry his party strength,
cannot presume to control the party
Judge Banks failed to capture his
own Senatorial district; how then
could he reasonably expect to boss the
whole county, with its six other dis
tricts?
Hon. stiles Judson voted for Bufke-
leg in the Republican legislative eau
Gus. the vote of the county being two
to one against Buckley. and thus
ranked himself with the minority OF
his party. a decided disqualification
for the position of county boss.
John L. King of this city looms up
large for the position which has been
practically vacated by Messrs. Hawley
Banks and Judson. He has been
