Frank j. Brady Who Made Money ir
Canadian Mines Built Beautiful
Home.

/ Bristol. Sept. 10.-Frank J. Brady, a
we'll known and respected citizen OF
, this village, passed away last evening
about seven o'clock after three days
illness. Apparently in the best Of
health Sunday morning, he was taken
Ill about II a. m. that day and failed
until the end. He was a son OF Hugh
Dennis and Sarah Gill Brady and was
born in Montreal August 26, 1862. He
was educated in Archambault, Was
son and Terrebonne colleges. After
graduating, he became associated
with his father in the firm of Brady &
Lee in the shipping business in Mont
real. During the latter part of his
life he was interested in the develop
ment of silver, gold and iron mines In
the Dominion of Canada, in which he
made a success for himself and
friends.
Some II years ago he came to Bris
toll and had since made his home here
the greater part of the time. A few
years ago he purchased the e. B. Pat
terson place on West street and trans
formed the same into the show place
of the village In the spacious grounds
he had set out nearly 500 rose bushes,
which included every known variety
that will grow in this climate. Many
other towering plants also have a
place in the grounds. Mr.. Brady was
OF quiet disposition, never putting
himself forward, yet he kept well
posted on the events of the day, both |
local and national. Not boastful OF
what he had done or proposed doing, !
he was ever ready to help in any |
good cause and to relieve distress and |
suffering wherever found, and he !
never inquired the creed Of the per-
son needing help. In fact, he was a |
man who did things rather than !
talked them. Loyal to his friends,
he win be missed from the commune |
ty. Mr.. Brady is survived by his
widow and one sister, Mrs. N. w.
Brown of New York, besides other
relatives.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Burlington School Girl Last Seen on

Burlington. Sept. lit was report
ed to the police today that Madeline
Marshey, the 13-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Marshey. disap-
peared mysteriously shortly before 8

She was accompanied to the school

walking up the street which was the

be allowed them. Burlington be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 il IN on
hand is facing crisis aGh joiu-
ton has placed the city oiaca IN
dilemma.
The Board of Street Commits ion
ers will convene at special meeting
IN an effort to devolve some scheme
by which their department may go
through the year. Other departments
while not in such bad condition, can
see nothing ahead OF them but a sus-
pension OF business unless money can
be raised in some manner to carry
them over.
The money on hand with what
revenue comes in is all that is left TO
pay expenses which average ABOUT
500 900 per month or nearly SSO,oVo
There will be some revenues, primer
pally from the electric light and water
departments, but the State war TAX
which must be paid soon comes TO
$50. 900 more and must be met by anu
cipated taxes. The proposition before
the city is topay its expenses FOR
three months with the balance OF be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and what
revenues are to come in. The voters
have recently thrown down the prop
osition TO increase the tax rate to
80 %. passed by the Board Of Alder
men.
The thousands of dollars recently
collected at the office of the city
treasurer were Immediately paid out
as soon as they came into the ONCE
for notes which were already overdue.
Supt. ]. +. Kidder of the Water De-
partment cannot see how his depart
ment can get through the year with
ont over drawing. The pauper depart
ment Is hard up against it as are some
of the others.
The records show that ordinarily
Burlington would have between $5o,-
900 and $50 900 instead of the present
balance With the increase in taxa
ton II would have been difficult
matter to pull the city through whole.
The situation in the Street Depart
ment is so acute that a special meet
ING of the Street Commissioners has
been called when the matter Will be
discussed.

would seem to bear out this assertion

Mrs. ID. c. Jones of Waterbury, state
manager of war savings.
Mrs. Lord appealed to the women
to unite, through their organizations,
in the thrift movement under way in

living, She asked that they abstain
from the purchase of all Injuries so
that with a less production of luxur-
les the production of necessities
would be greater, calling attention to
the law of supply and demand, which,
she argued, applied in this problem,
problem that would be far towards
being solved if the women of the
country would buy only the neces-
saries of life during the present
crisis.
AT the close of the address q reel

first time in New England.

the movement. One feature planned
is a thrift agreement to be signed by
