The person who says the last has the minimum of good times himself. and may make things rraiseIaibIe for those around hirn.s
 Camping should be q delight from the shocking plunge that wakes you up so thoroughly in tho morning that it makes you mad and right on through the day until you have wash ed 6ne supper dishes, drunk that last half cup of cofTee that remained in the LODaGGO hreside. None but the green are ever blue if there is plenty of grub and some place in which to sleep or the day's exertions.
 If one should ask what the most in despensa.ble thing were on a camping trip, the answer water would seem perhaps too obvious to be considered lsbut it does not mean the water one must use for drinking. washing and cooking. That is taken for granted There may of course be some who enjoy camping where there is no stream or lake but they are a pitfful

 The camping season is at hand. Tn general 1t begins a.bout the time when the aanua. hoy is HbsArated from the an noyanees Of school and when the glass ice-water tank begins to remind the ofiice-ridden person of that tinxling trout stream which he would rather visit than any other. One need not re- peat that there is still in man much that is prirnordial. Less than 8 thous- and years of really comfortable homes and beds has not uprooted the attrae- ton of occasionally sleeping where the wind may blow down the shelter or the rain beat through upon the sleeper. Trolley car racket has de- tractad nothing from the bliss of walk ing up in the night and hearing the lake reused by a vicious wind, beat gloriousIy upon the beach, souse out across the sand and start trickhng back, only to be caught full by the next incoming wave. These are really the supreme moments of a camping g trip Your rest may have been earned by the hardest kind of tramping or padding, or you may have overexert- ed in any one of a hundred ways on the day before but what is rest when in the dead of night Nature will un- loose for you the age-oId harmonies of wind and lake, trees groaning against the gale. and for a climax the thunder far overhead, splitting across the sky?
 But all that is getting ahead of the story It Is. however, of little use to write on how to camp; or on where to camp. Those who have canped have doubtless found the place they like; those who have not are usually in- f1uenced by a friend to try some place which he has found attractive. And as

CITY CANNOT IMPOSE

Hartford Jnly 24-FJpon the request Of Major Prank I, VVfIcox for ah orr- ion reEarding the asen
 property for part of the expene of paving the street and resettire curb in front of the Connecttelt seheoI for Boys at Meriden. Attorney Gene John H. Light handed down f lolvtng yesterday
 You ask my opinion aF ~ Whe the city Of 11eriden has authority assess the property of the state fd part of the expense of paving the strer and resetting the curb in front Of connecticut school for Boys
 Tt may be stated as a genersi prn- ciple that; in the absence or eNpr legislative authority, the property the state cannot be assessed by a pl- cipality for the cost Of n1ahfcl1aI lni- provenaents.
 z T have not taken the time t0 e anime all of the amendments of s charter of the city or Meridem. brE think may safely assune that tha Legislature has not given to the ditv the express authority to assess state property.
 Tn the case of state vs. Kilburn. one court says.
 f The city could not. without the ser mission of the state, assess benantr against it as the owner Of land benedt ted by a public improvements Cfenera expressions, granting it liberty to sess all persons specially 5enea atte would not import such permfssion. I state holds the innunfties in this re- spect belonging by che EnBl com mon law to the King, It is noe co be sued without it's consent Its Flights are not to be diminished by statbta. unless a clear intention to that enect on the part Of the legislatu ls dis- closed, by the use Of express terna1 or by force Of unnecessary fmplica- tion.s'
 T am of the opinion, therefore. that the city of Mertden has no authorlts- 10 assess the property Of the state for paving the street and reseftlne the curb in front Of the Connecticut scho6I for Boys.
