his moneys worth of cold weather

him as agent of the Society for the
prevention of this particular thing.
Il had a. walk of three miles TO the
place." said he. land found Is cattle
and five horses which had not been
cleaned for two weeks. The filth was
indescribable. The stock was shig-
ering in the cold, for the barn was so
old and so open from lack of repairs
that it was an unfit place to keep an
imals in temperature like that OF
this week. The owner, man Of some
repute in town, said he had been SUI
fering from lumbago, his wife had
fed the stock and MIXED the cows
and they had been getting along the
best they could. She could not clean
them out. He had intended to repair
the barn. but kept putting it on Ar
rangements were made for him to
foot the bills; and for the neighbors
to make these repairs on the strue'
ture, to clean out the stalls and lever
the floors under the animals. ~
hour limit was set, on penalty OF
bringing the case into court, and the
owrsr promised to do his duty. Their

QUE TREES.

It ia we'll to Make hay while tho sun shines" IL ia also quite ncccs- sary to do something to the hay when it subsequently, if the hay has been GU. and stacked.
 Tho sun of present welfare is not shining very brightly. but there are things to be done.
 The trees in certain portions of this city are we'll cared for: in other parts of New Britain they are not attended to a: all
 The city is supposed to take care of those growing on it's property. That is tho clty's business and 1t is pre- sumed that the administration will not spend any more money than il necessary to make safe trees which ondangcr life. or to do what is abso- lutcly necessary to trees that injurc property or which need attention be- cause of other practical reasons.
 The trees growing on private prop orty are much more numerous, and in this time of considerable unem- ployment there is a chance for those who can afford it to have their trees attended to. Such practice would give work to many men, would en- nance the beauty of the owners premises, and would beautlfy the city to noticeabld extent.
 There are men who own property, but who are dependent upon a daily wage for their support and the sup port of tho family. They may have mortgage on the property. Many of these men arc out of work tempor- arily It would seem that attention to their trees. forgotten perhaps. for years, would be of practical advant- age to them, in addition to the in creased beauty it would bring to the city streets.

PUBLICITY IN CITY ATFAIHs.

IL has been frequently urged here that tho people tako greater inter cs. in city affairs. The good results that would follow a more general un- dcrstanding of matters discussed in tho Common Council have been pointed out.
 Everyone cannot attend those meet inEs. Except on rarc occasions there seems to he little disposition to do SO.
 But practically everyone reads the newspapers. Usually tho decisions of the Council. read after those decisions arc made, are commented upon freely. Members who huvc voted. without having had time to consider tho mat ter seriously or to ascertain the feel ing among their constituents, are praised or blamed by those constitu- ! cnts. and sometimes by themselves after more comprehensive study of tho ractI and arguments. This situation this custom Of bringing up new matters at Council
 Meeting. often leads to follow the lead,r' affair. A now matter comes up: it tntcs many of the members O. tho Council by surprise; they arc hon cstiy uncertain which is the proper way to vote; they learn quickly how tEc lenders of their party in the Coun- cil are going e. vote. and they arc inclined to follow them. The lead
 CTS way may be the right way or the
 wrong way That is beside the point There iJ nos tha. independence in v"t-
 ing. there ia not the posaihility for | that indcpcudcnco tha. there would
 ro had tho members known that tho
 matter was to come up. had they been able to form their own opinions: Ot course somo members may nos
 wish to vote independently. They
 may wish to follow their Ieadcri
 hIindly. such men do not belong in | the Council OF anywhere where there l ia n votn to bo cast.
 Tut the point i1 that if mcuborl
 are informed or some of tn, import an. matters to come up at an ap- | prouchlne meeting. they huvo thq ! chance to look into th,m and form their own opinions regardless of those Of the. leaders If arguments. at the
 meeting or facts brought out. alter ! their previously formed opinions,
 they should not hesitate to admit it.

 But the interests of the city and of the citizens in it would be served if the habit of giving to organs of publicity which reach Council mem bcrs and people, were adopted.
 Again it is emphasized that no judgment is here made on any ques- ton that may come up at tonight's meeting of the Council. Facts may be brought out which will prove ab- solutcly the proper course to be taken.
 But publicity, free of irrelevant islander or unscemly criticism. would make people in the city more able to keep in touch with city matters, and would rebound to the benefit of all.
