Ought to Stop Knocking and Help.

MT Editor: Have just read MT Cary's admirable letter in today S Bulletin in reply to Mrs. Taylor MT Cary has hit the nail on the head in a straightforward statement of facts All honor to him.
 1 am a humble workingman who wishes to add a protest against knock ing the ThermoS Bottle company and automobile ambulance by people of the Mrs. Taylor type, who always preach poverty (no matter how much money they have) when solicitors of worthy objects call at their places of business and who cannot point to their names being on any subscription paper in the Past assisting in the building up of Norwich.
 Wouldn't it be better for our city if Mrs. Taylor and others like her would make a New Years resolution to stor. knocking?
 If Mrs Taylor, some night. going from the FTatiron building to McKfn- ley avenue. should meet with an acci- dent, wouldn't it heap coals of fire on her head if the automobile ambulance should take her to the hospital in time to save her life by an operation?
 Oh, knockers. please make a trip to the wharf and toss your hammers into the Thames. and then place your shoulders to the wheel with Us in trying to improve our beautiful city.

The Matter of Benefits.

MT. Editor: I read with real interest MT. Frederic W. Cary's letter upon the benefits which accrue to the city be- cause of the securing of the Thermos Bottle company.
 First, let look at the cost of 1t to the citizens. A pledged amount of above $75,000 as a, gift of which $60000 according to MT Cary. has been subscribed. This $60, ,000 at per cent. would yield an annual income of g. 400 year, or nearly $50 a week for all time; and this represents what it has and does cost to secure the indus try.
 The fact that the Thermos company has a school for learners here and is to pay out $500 week is of real ad- vantage to Norwich, but if these work CTS only receive 50 per cent. of what the same class of employees received in New York, it is as much of benefit to the company to do this as it Is for the city to have them
 Affirmations are not facts; hence MT. Cary's statements that more tenements that gas is to be made cheaper because of the coming of this company, and several Norwich men have found em- ployment at higher salaries need to be bolstered up with figures. A mere say-so doesn't weigh a, pound.
 In most cities in New England dol lar gas is compelled by law, because it is extortion to ask more for it, and at quite a number of points gas is 80 cents a thousand cubic feet.
 Every fair minded citizen desires the Tshernos Bottle company should have all the credit due to it, but there is no necessity for exaggeration.
 It has cost the city Cor will) $10,000 or s15,000 to extend it's gas and water mains to Thermosville, but as the in terest is coming back MT Cary doesn't think this is worth mentioning, per- haps-
 Will MT. Cary tell us what the aver age outlay in repair of tenements is, and what the real increase is and ex- actlY how many Norwich men are em-

That Norwich has shown its ap- precia1ion of the gift of a large area by several donors for use as a park, and is making magnificent progress in it's development of M0hegan park, has been recognized by Dr. John A Rock well. whose idea it was that such val uable use be made of the tract of land so admirably and naturally adapted for that purpose This recognition, resulting in another gift of thirteen acres, adjacent to the park and of a similar character, is most compliment tary to the city and to the park com rz1issioners pr Rockweifs action has stimulated a greater interest in the development of the natural beauty of the city and in the park It has re- suited in the creation of a beantE spot the value of which will increase as the city continues to grow, and great er numbers come to appreciate it's at- fractions
