The housing conditions in this city which have attra cted the attention of the board of health during the past year and which are now receiving some consideration from the chamber of commerce, have not improved as a whole during the past twelve months The reports from the town clerks office and those of the building inspector throw more light on this question than anything else in the city. While there were 543 marriages last year there were but approximately ly 404 tenements provided and as In many former years many of those couples have been either compelled te find a home out of town or to live II with others as boarders. Comment has been made on this situation from time to time in this paper and the board of health investigated the mat ter of overcrowding last year only to come to the sensible conclusion that it would be unfair and unjust to at
 tempt to enforce the law concerning the overcrowding of teneme ents until such time at least as the city is able to provide quarters for it's people. That time has not arrived, on the con- trary the conditions are worse today than when the matter was formally investigated last year. It is an inter- esting question, however, to ask what is to be done about this matter Is it to go on year after year the same as it has been doing or will there ever be any real attempt made to proper ly house the people of this community and if so what will be it's nature? It would seem as if there can be but one Of o1, of t1,i
 CT some one or a company must be formed which will build houses on a large scale or there must be an effort made to induce people to buy land in the country and build homes for tn emselveS. There was some evidence for a time last year when it seemed as if there was drift towards the erec- tion of houses by individuals, but when the industrial depression came on all work along this line ceased and J it has not been revived. It has all ways appeared strange that men with capital have not invested in a business of erecting new houses because there can hardly be any question but that a satisfactory return would be received. It would be better if people could be induced to build houses themSelves because then there would be an addi- tional interest in the work and it would be a further inducement for others to emulate their example. There is any quantity of land to be purchased now within a stones throw of a trolley line and the price is not exorbitant. These places ought to be built up and not until they are will the city be what it ought to be and
 the people properly provided with
 
 | the work that is much needed?

FACTS AND RANCHES.

It is said that the Grown Prince of Bulgaria is to marry the pretty Prin- cess F1lizabe of Roumania. But there is no reason why the European diplomats should arrange marriages for political advantages when this war has shown how little family or blood ties count when opposing inter- ests meet.-Norwich Record.
 hereafter no student can receive a diploma from Princeton university un- less he can swim. There as abundant reason for this rounding out of the collegiate education. Lack of know ledge of the art of swimming does more than enough to swell the natlon- al casualty list and if we can make COllegians exempt to deep water dan gers by all means to let us do so.- Ansonia Sentinel.
 It is not the great steel combination that is fourishing in these difficult times; it is the vastly smaller tndepen- dent concern like the Bethlehem Steel company which is rushed with bus mess and is by no means passing it's dividends. Tested by diversity, this comparatively small independent com- pany is beating the trust to death. At least the spectacle teaches that energy and brains in an independent company may still defy and distance in prosperity the hugest of industrial com binations.-Springfe Repu bli- can. |,
 It is quite amusing to note that while Senator Hurley and Represen- t.. tive Devine are working tooth and rail to get something for Waterbury in the way of improvement, as for example, a normal school, the re- publican members of the legislature, Senator Peasley and Representative Bronson are working just as hard to land themselves and their friends lucrative jobs. Still the republicans rail and rant against the "spoils system.'' As far as we are concerned we heartily recommend that Messrs Peasley and Bronson go to it while the going is good.-Waterbury Dem ocrat.

The principal reason for there hay ing been so many tenements provid- ed last year, when the building busi- ness was so light on account of the industrial depression, was that among the buildings erected there were thirty-sev six family houses, costing S3OO.6OO Building Inspector Ruther- ford's records are very complete and among other features of them is that the three family houses come next, there having been thirty-four of them

EYES ON KENT

This comment from the San Francisco News
Letter will be interesting to the local friends
of g Billy Kent of California:
Congressman Kent's name is cropping up
more and more as being Of the proper timber
to serve as candidate for the vice-presidency.
Politically, he is classed as an independent, but
he stands for the Wilson policies, and system
aticalIy votes that way. It is significant that
in the last few years political parties have
turned to, the Pacific Coast to select vice
presidential candidate. The West is growing,
and the West is VIGOROUSLY independent in
both of the big camps. Neither johnson nor
Kent would dodge any lightning coming this
way Ezs.

since the first singing criticisms were directe

the part of others.
The majority report, made by commit

along approved ward methods. Against thi
majority, which voted at the crook of thei

powerless and it minimized its opportunitie
for successful protest by failure to unite a

AS. the new charter stands it contains tn,
two most bitterly criticised features of thu

ent of city works, and the provision that dis
triet magistrates shall be appointed by thu
mayor instead Of by the governor.
Both features are political and rottenly pc

works is to be elected, adding another to the
patronage opportunities upon which profes

the appointment of district magistrates by thu
