SCHOOL BOARD PAYS
 RESPECT 10 WALSH
Resolutions on Death of Former
 Member Are Adopted

The following resolutions on the
 death of Judge John Walsh, member
 of the school board, were received
 and adopted at the meeting of that
 body yesterday:
 The life and example of a good
 man extends far beyond his ken.
 The light he leaves behind him serves
 to teach, edify and elevate his fellow
 men. His influence becomes a power
 to cheer, to assist, to console those
 who are hopeless and hopeful, who
 are struggling upward, or battling ad-
 verse forces No one knows what
 argument his life to his neighbor
 may have lent. It is with reflections
 such as these that the school commit
 tee of the city of New Britain com
 mcnds the life, the example, the la
 bOrs of it's late deceased member, John Walsh.
 He was born in lowly circum- stances in the county of Wexford, Ire land, in 1S46. While, there struggling g with adverse tides he obtained the rll- dments of an English education. The cmberS of mbition were lighted in his bosom, and at the age of 19 he turn ed his course to America. By a happy conjunction of events he came to New Britain, where he settled in 1866, and resided here until his death.
 "WithOut means. but with bOundlesS hope, and with the example of IIlihu Burritt before him, he began the up ward climb of the ladder of life. Working in the factory by days, and studying at night by an oil lamp, he mastered bookkeeping and increased his general knowledge. He then en- gagged as boollkeeper, thus having more time for study. By industry and perseverance, he obtained an unusual knowledge of English literature, as well as of English and American his tory. The even tenor of this course was pursued until he found 5 way open for the study of law.
 "He entered tho law office of Mitchell and HungcrfOrd in New l Britain, and was admitted to the bar l of the state of Connecticut in 1S75 He then began the active practice of l law, and thcreupOn his career of scrV- l ice to his fellowmen commenced. The active practice of law brought him in contact with all classes of society, and 1 his merit was soon recognized He | held the office of town clerk of the l town of New Britain. On October IS, l 1879, he was elected a member of the l school committee of the town of New Britain, which office he held cOntin- l uOusly until death. This position for l him was one of activity and useful l ness and of benefit to the people of New Britain.

upon himself, he began the study of stenography, becoming master of the art. He was the first Stenographer appointed to the superior court for Hartford county, poSltloh winch ne held for over 30 years, ana which ne so thoroughly fulfilled that he had the entire confidence of judges, lawyers and other men who came III contact with him. Scrupulous accuracy, neat ness and dispatch were characteristic traits in this line of his labor.
 "While thus engaged he was elect ed judge of the prObate> court for the district of Berlin in 1885, and cOntin- ued in that office for 0 years. He was twice elected mayor Ot the city Ot New Britain. He was appointed assistant judge of the court of common pleas for Hartford county, which he held for many years. Other positions of trust and confidence were held by him. During all these years he was engaged in the general practice of law.
 He had a predilection for lan- guages, and in addition to the Eng fish language, he studied and was well read in Latin, Gaelic, German, SWed ish, Spanish and Polish languages. Freuuently he would make public ad- dresses in German and Swedish. He loved to talk in the Vernacular with people of different natiOnalitieS. His reservoir of Knowledge seemed un- fathomablc He familiarized himself with all branches of knowledge, for he thus was more adept in his daily work. He enjoyed study, and time was the only limitation. Thus in studying he accumulated d large li- brary, both general and special. Books were the joy of his life. They were his intimate friends and asso- ciatcS. He lived with them and they were the bone and sineW of his ma tcrial and intellectual accomplish ments. From his earliest beginnings until his last efforts he was a pur- chaser and a lover of books.
 "Thus aspiration, united With indus try, perseverance, and Self-rcllanCe, raised John Walsh from ObScuritN to places of usefulness, to places of serv- ice, and his life is an example to all the youth of the city of New Britain and of the state of Connecticut. He never omitted a detail that was nCccs- sary to he done. He had a capacity for infinite labor, and that is genius. He built a reputation and a char actor for integrity and honesty, for llindlincSS and charity. No evil, mali cious or dishonOrablc word ever pass ed his lips. He thought no evil. He spoke no evil. He did good. Sym pathy commenced ere charity be- gan.
 "JOhn Walsh had no GlOomN side He radiatcd humOr and good cheer Even under adverse strokes he smiled and laughed and went onward WitF his labOrS. Each morning saw a task begun, the evening saw it's close and thus his life rounded out its years. All who knew him loved tC meet and greet him, for John Walsh loved his felloWmen and in that love and kindness his name led all the rest. The volume of his life with its good deeds is written and closed Therefore,
 "ResOlved, That the school commit tee of the city of New Britain mourns

Chairman Williams. of the state
corporation commission, said yester-
da. that the commission. in view OF
decision of the Virginia supreme
court of appeals, has no authority to
set aside rates imposed by any mu-
nicipality granting a franchise. where
sC"L rates are legal.
In view Of the fact that the general
increase asked by the telephone com
pany affects 65 cities and own In
Virginia, Chairman Williams ex-
pressed the opinion that the proceed
Ing woud extend over three or four
months before the commission renders
its decision. Different rates in various
cities must be changed. should the In
or use be allowed. The whole issue,
he thought. will resolve itself into a
rr-.tter Of valuation OF property n a
air return on investment.
For the first time in its history the
telephone company will state the valu-
alton Of its Virginia holdings when
the commission holds public hearings.
The commission will detail its engi-
