 Things have been mending since Today, about 5000 of the exiled in habitants have returned. They are housed in corrugated iron hutments formerly used by the British army. The cleaning up of the place, by Chinese and German prisoner work squads. is taking on more speed. The approaches have been laid bare to cellars and underground shelters Which have been occupied by home less "househunters." Even building of sort is going on; the material used being such odd bits of wood, stone and iron as were still service onca was Lens.
 Tn the PaS de Calais department alone, 16o townships and villages are in the same plight as Lens. or nearly so. The task of making these places fit to live in again is herculean one. Labor is available in adequate num- bers, but to lodge and feed the men is a great problem. The latest sug gestion is to use covered army motor trucks as temporary shelters for the workers by whose efforts Lens is to arise from its ashes.

N0RWALK'S TAX RATE REDUCED
 OVER 4 MILLS

Norwalk, July -CSeciaD-Mayor Jeremiah Donovan kept one of his prediction promises. that of tax reduction, when at the Board of Es- innate meeting last evening the rates were fixed for the next year. With an estimated income of $40. 1000 less than last year, due to the enforcement of prohibition the board laid a tax in all districts making reductions up to 1-2 mills.
 This redI+tiOn brought about largely through the efforts of the Mayor has meant no serious curtail- ment of the essentials. Streets are in better condi ion throughout the entire city and practically every department Is admittedly more efficiently con- ducted than ever before at less ex- pense. The fire department has in the year been favored with a salary increase.
