Their business for us at this term of
court
We made an examination of the
County Jail and strongly recommend
that the Jail be repaired and made
sanitary and secure and that adequate
heating facilities be provided. We
Are informed that previous Grand

HERE'S A CHANCE TO RENT OUT
YOUR PIANO.

Persons who contemplate going
south or to California during the win
ter months, and who want place to
store their piano, have a good oppor-
tunity offered them to have their in
strument we'll taken care of. Since
the Commercial club rooms on the
third floor of the First National Bank
building have been closed, the Com
munity orchestra is obliged to do it's
rehearsing in some room in the court
house, and will of necessity have to
secure piano. The orchestra leader
guarantees that the piano will be kept
in a room evenly heated and kept in
tune, and will pay for moving from the
home to the court house, and pay rea-
sonable rental besides. Any family
Who .contemplates leaving for the win
ter and wishes their piano taken care
of, will confer favor upon the organ
ization by making such fact known to
Supt. w. A. Ottilie, or this office. The
orchestra has been doing good work
and is deserving of all the support the
people of Manchester can render.

4 LETTER FROM DIR. J. w. SCOTT
.g~ Chicago, Oct. Goth, 1918.
Editors Democrat;

All is we'll with us here and we are
living quite comfortably in this fairly
we'll governed city, but find 1t much
more difficult to become greatly in
terested in civic affairs here than in a
city like Manchester, where every i'm
proyement is a visable one, and where
one feels a personal concern in the
prosperity of each individual citizen
and in the progress and growth OF the
city at large. aa.
One of the most important questions
to come before the electors of Chicago
at the coming election is the adop-
ton or rejection of the Traction Or
linance" which provides for the uni
fication of the elevated and surface
car lines, making transfer from eth
er system good for continued passage
on the other; and the building of a
subway car line commencing at Chi
cago Ave-, just one mile north of Mad
ison street and running about the
same distance south, and like dis
lance west, thus relieving the conges-
ton in the loop, and at the same time
enabling the traction company to OPP
crate about five cars during the morn
ing and evening rush hours, to every
two that there is now place on the
street for, and consequently offering
the accommodation of seat to about
go per cent of the daily patrons OF the
car lines, 80 per cent of whom are
pue IsYIeM SIM pug IN 10 slIesq eql
ed to stand in the aisles and on the
platforms. For the reason that I am
usually one of the 80 per cent who

believe it wise to make preparation
for the industrial welfare of the city
and the individual prosperity of our
soldier boys on their return from their
Christmas festivities in Berlin by hav-
ing jobs awaiting them,I expect to give
this ordinance my support, but, in
reality l am not nearly so interested,
in this project as l would
be in a proposal to build subway
under the Illinois Central tracks
about a block west of the depot at
Iowa.
We are all in good health and are
sufficiently busy to make it easy to
avoid serious mischief Jack is in the
army, has been at Camp Wheeler at
Macon, Ca, all summer, but is now at

He made one start but his boat, the

sank at the dock.
His company sailed some time ago
but he being in the medical corps, was
detained to help care for influenza
cases. He was in good health at the
time we last heard from him, which
was October 18th. ~
