New Britain has become more or tcmpts of Hartford to place it in the strictly rural category. We gan under stand the jealousy with which the Capital City regards our growth A few years ago we were scarcely moro than a suburb of the larger (but not for IOns)' city 10 the northeast Now. however, New Haven has joined the ranks of the opprcssors. Here is what she has done. through ono of her nCwSpapcrs-thc Times Lcadcr."--- while it was telling of the recent blizzard:
 Passengers from Hartford and
 Springfield were delayed in reach

 engine derailment near the State
 Armory blocked the New Haven
 division track and trains were re-
 routed jON way of New Britain.
 from which village they went to
 Berlin junction over the electric
 branch line. No one was hurt.
 Somehow the last four words of the mo a.e sound like a knock as well as the foregoing. We suppose. though. that the writer meant that no one was hurt in the dcrailment of the loco motive. not that all passengers S;,c- cccdcd ill travelire through New Britain safely.

THE TAX QUESTION.

] of New Britain will decide at the , ing year will be. Despite the fac 1 hat the cuts as advocated by the i Taxpayers associa ton. will be ex- l ccedinSly detrimental to some of the 1 local institutions and commissions it docs not require any great stretch ot the ina ginatiOn to forctell ;l victory for the ones who advocate q lowered tax rate. Such will he the call of the purse. undoubtedly.
 r. $. McMahon and his retainers who arc as intangible ns the wraitI1s of Sir Oliver Lodge. will welcome the defeat of the administration as SCOT ing heavily for their side. when. as d matter of fact nearly any adminis- tratiOn would he defeated in such d proposition. True McMahon has
 given voice to the pi;int that many
 would like to utter loud. the com
 plHiners will vote according to his ar-
 Sumcnts. even though they might
 disagree with him upon any other is
 sue that comes before the public. The
 high rate, and it is admittedly hic'h
 seems eNorbtant let us hope that the adoption of the lower ono will not
 bring dn a still higher rate next year. A rcvaluatiOn of property is going on. will be complete before the annual meeting next year, it is said., and may not be required to pay
 thirty mills upon our reasscs.;cd prop Crty. IL matters little. however, we shall have to pay larger amount of money to make up for what we have lost this year. providing We allow our streets and conVcnicnccS to run down
 IT vii take more to brin. them up to par.
 There may be little opposition 10 the "s;vinGs'' that the Taxpayers have effected through some Of their cuts. Possibly tI,t buying of s,1c;l things, as automo piles and new equip ment. may ho profitahly delayed Where tue cuts most directly affect tho majority of people is in their ef- feet on the parks. which arc deprived i funds for upkccp. and the New Brit ain Institute. wnich may be forced to refuse to accept the sixteen thousand dollars voted under, the Taxpayers association and go back to d "pay'' l system for the users in order 10 col l lcct it's revenue.
 The merchant and the home own 1 or will eventually be affected by the /, cuts on the street estimates. When macadam goes bad it depreciatcS property in the district, there is not money enough allowed to keep ur the ] present streets let alone pave new ! ones.
 One may not h;.vr his cake and . eat it. is d familiaH saying.

We shall de eide that the amount should be with held from the city. probably. thereby ! getting moro money, equivalent to l ca ting our cake. Possibly we shall | regret catllrg ou' cake so soon. But, i when that time comes when property is dcprecia1ed and the city faces a 1 reconstruction period after it's era of 1 misplaced economy the element ] among the propatty holders that is l buying real estate fO, speculative ] purposes will have casned in on the ! profits and dcparted--clsewhere.
