larly in itching Eczema, proves very welcome.
 on January IS, regarding the new con- tract, which it has been proposed the town should make with the water company, the Herald has received the following communication:
 "Plainville, Conn., Jan. 1, 1915 To the Editor of the Herald.
 "I am sending you an extract from a letter written by one of the promo ters of the Plainville Water company 30 years ago. The commuters in Plainville will no doubt recall what has .transpired since that day to see how we'll their plans have been car ried out. What has been done to inn prove the water and how much the Water company today Is interested in building up the town and how much in speculation. In other towns they have found 1t necessary to do away with dead ends, and flush out the pipes often, but with all the dead ends and hollows in Plainville we must not expect much better than storm sur face water and with the present
 
 it by f1ushiness.
 Think of it, fifty dollars year each for watering troughs. In other towns twenty-f five dollars Is considered a big price, and other rates and rules are much more reasonable and satis- factory to the patrons. ' For the past five years there has been much dissatisfa ction with the management some of the stockhold- CTS believing that it cost too much to boss the Plainville Water company's business.
 Copy from a letter written by one of the promoters of the Plainvilie Wa ter company dated April g, 1884
 "I note your remarks in regard to business. A vote was passed by the town seven years ago exempting all new business to the amount of five thousand dollars and upwards for five years from taxation. We have raised about a thousand dollars for J. J.. Brand to induce him to start business here. We are in hopes our water works will help us over and we think we will have as good a system as there is in the state. This is more for a convenience and to draw business
