 Fairfield too obiects-sorne of its residents at least-to the proposed in- corporation of the so-called Brookiawn district in the city of Eridgeport.

But. if rumors are we'll founded. Fairfield is really not hostile to the proposed change. and is only raising an objection as a basis for a deal under which the Black Rock dis trict would be received in exchange for the Brookfawn section.

 Of President Taft's reciprocity bill, MT. Clews speaks very favorably. as "a step in the right direction. He adds:
 It Is much more liberal than expect ed. and should receive the prompt sanction of both the American and Canadian Legislatures. There is no reason why trade on the northern border should be compelled to flow flow both North and South. and would thus benefit both countries. The chief obstacle is the undue sel- fishness of certain localities and in terests on both sides of the line. There is no sound reason why New the best market. that of Newfound- land: nor why Canada should not draw upon our interior coal fields when to her best advantage. Both countries would benefit immensely by thus lowering the barriers upon trade which 1t should be remembered. could not exist unless mutually profitable. A strong argument in favor of the bill is that 1t aims to reduce the cost Of living on both sides of the border by enlarging the free list on foodstuffs and the necessities of life.
