 Communication Received.
 The following communication was received from Col. Charles M. Jarvis this morning:
 Editor New Britain Herald:
 There has been much in your Der lin columns of late about town af- fairs, much that is true and much that is not true.
 'The report of the selectmen is out this morning. Without drawing any disagreeable comparisons between the old and the new, without re- f1ecting in any way on the nominees of the democratic party for select men, here are few facts that are ap- parent and which should interest the taxpayers.
 "First-During the past year the selectmen have paid old debts of the town to the amount of $2,2a5.31 (see page 4 of report.)
 "Second-They paid $3,OO0 of the indebtedness of the town. (This does not include the regular payments of $2,00O on the bond indebtedness. See third item on page 26.)
 '"Third-They have paid $70O for the gutter on Berlin street. (See page 9.) This should have gone into the expenses of the previous year.
 "Fourth-They are Gin round num- bers $2,7O0, better off in cash than they were at the beginning of the year when compared with the pre- ceding pear. See treasurer's report of cash at the beginning and end of town year as shown on page 21)
 "Now then, fellow-citizens, this shows a net gain of about $8,700. In other words the town officers, I figure have saved us s8,7OO in the management of the town affairs dur ing the year past. Taxpayers, is 1t advisable under these circumstances to make any change?
 Every citizen must sooner or later pay the taxes assessed against his or her property. Nothing is to be gained by delay. Look at the tax report of Charles F. Lewis on Page 2s. I ven ture the assertion that Mir. Lewis by his returns has established himself as the best tax-collector we have ever had in the Town of Berlin. Why Change?
 CHARLES M. JARVIS
 Democrats Hustling.
 With but two days left before elec- tion, the democrats were busy today boosting their nominees. In com menting upon the report issued by Judge filling this morning a promin- ent local democrat stated that 1t would help them instead of harming their party. Although Judge filling came through with a good balance, the fol- lowers of democracy assert that his economy will in the long run cost the town much more. The roads they as- sert are in poor condition because of this economy. 'ts ~f ''>'.'t '@t
 Henry Pagan, who opposes c. F. Lewis for tax-collector, is confident that he will give the republican nom- inee a hot contest. MT. Pagan re- gently sold out his place of business in Kensington and is devoting all his time in trying to place his ticket in the front, onday. If elected, MT. Fla gan, argues in platform, that he will be able to devote more time to office than the present incumbent. Pass $2OO Mark
