ing Board last Friday night, brings the assurance that before many days there will be a great deal of work for the men.
 True, the city work for this week was assigned last Thursday, and only extra jobs will bring a chance for the many who apply early each morning. So local employers should continue to send word of work to be done. But the tangible, certain hope has come. and the applying men may be sent away with a definite promise upon which they may rely.
 The work that is planned to be done is so arranged that men out of work in this city will do it.
 There will be provisos in every contract that local men shall be en- ployed-men whose names are regis tered at the municipal employment bureau and have, perhaps, been so registered for long time.
 There is no question but that the great betterment of tho unemploy- ment situation, promised if the money were forthcoming, will be seen shortly.
 And now that there is assurance that the city will have the money, the feel ing of relief is universally expressed.

AFTERMATH.

One unfamiliar with the procedure of the city in regard to letting con- tracts and other matters of impor- tance, might have come away from the meeting of the City Meeting Board last Friday evening with the idea that. in the matter of the Con- fort Station, for instance, the board rather went 1t blind" in ratifying the appropriation therefor. without having plans and other details be- fore it.
 The City Meeting Board is no place to discuss the details of such mai ters.
 The practical way in which the matter of the comfort station will be worked out is proof sufficient that such discussion at the meetings of the City Meeting Board is not only unnecessary and practically impos- sible, but also unwise.
 The City Plan Commission, a small body which will be able to decide matters in regard thereto much more intelligently, will tentatively decide upon the location. It, if any body
 of people in the city. should be bes, informed as to the best location for
 the comfort station after due con. sideratton of the viewpoints of everyone.
 The committee appointed by the Mayor to have charge of the build ing of and matters pertaining to the comfort station will take up those matters.
 Then the Common Council, the body elected to run the affairs of the city-the body which has far more important matters to decide at meet ing after meeting, will have the final say in regard to contracts, ,setc. Thus will all details be thorough ly covered and dissatisfaction will be guarded against as surely as it is humanly possible to do so.

NOW FOR RESULTS.

Certainly there comes a feeling of re- lief this morning. the day after our celebration of the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendence by Congress, that the chance has come to make a great number of men in this city independent once more of the need of financial aid
 Most of these men have not sought aid without giving their labor in re- turn. But they have sought in vain to a great extent.
 Today there are smiles upon the faces of those in charge of the municipal employment bureau. They have sat there at the table in the entrance to the odice of the Mayor so long, able oOly to give out few jobs at a time that the prospect of soon being able tc make many men happy with "card.' which assures them work, has brought sincere joy to them.
 It is true that this morning only eight jobs were open,

NEW BRTrAIN'S FOURTH"

Probably the largest crowd in the history of this city's Walnut Hill Park celebration of Independence Day gathered at the park last eve- nings and watched the fireworks. Men, women and children enjoyed the snappy and beautiful exhibition and the police repor. little trouble in handling the vast multitude. Good nature prevailed and people seemed to sense the fact that the display was nut on by those anxious only to help give them . pleasant evening on tho anniversary of the day whom this country became, oficially, the best place ine the world in which to live.
 The city need not feel that tho men who contributed privately to the cost of entertaining the people of the city, were displeased with the city amusement commissions decision not to spend the city's money for this purpose.
 The people who contributed to the , cost of the display need not feel that the city is displeased at their action.
 what was quite proper. and even ane, for the individual to do under the circumstances. might have been most unssemly for the city to do.'
 Results count. And those results were most unquestionably good.
 Members of the Rotary club want cd to have the display for the people. The men who contributed fell in with the .dea. The people had . rood time. The idea was conceived In altriusnn and carried out in the came spirit.

THE FIGHT.

While there has been a. lapse of couple of days since tho affair down in tho erstwhile little known Boyie's thirty acres in Jersey last Saturday when MT. Dempsey, world champion of the squared circle met Monsieur Carpentier. aspirant to the same title. and meeting him knocked him cold, the Herald feels that it is justified in giving itself | ngurative pat on the beck for the service 1t rendered to New Britain folks, many of them. in 1skurnine the verdict of the flashing gloves, first through tho voice of our sporting editor. afterwards through the medium of print.
 Devoid of gush. stripped of the pro- duct of the fertile brains of writers, raid to write lengthy sories an ade- quats description of the fight action was placed on the streets within a Ssw minutes after ths, game little lfenehnaan had taken the count of ten seconds. The Herald was off the press with tho news of the light, as far as the news vas concerned, before the contestants had left the ring. That our efforts were appreciated may be xAFnered from one who saw the crowd in front of the Herald ofice. Fully 3,6oo men and boys and . few wom- >n listened to the words that told the story of three and | fraction rounds Of fighting. Many bought the papers On the street soon afterwards to read them again, even though they were aware that Herald would await them at home if they preferred to wait until they got there for the story. And this vas no extra edition of the Herald. it T went to press even earlier than the regular time. For fuller descriptions. for great enlargements upon minor details. for columns upon columns of stun about the light, it was necessary to Await the morning papers. But the news waS in the evening editions. This follows in many events of the day. Things that constitte news, things that happen. usually take place in the Kime when humanity as a mass, Is awake and about Thus the evening
