OTIS LIBRARY CIRCULATION
 GAINS OVER LAST YEAR

In the annual report of the Otis Li- brary, Miss Imogene A. Cash, the librar- ian, reports, a circulation gain of 1,s92 over last year. The circulation of last year was 122,32s books. The report by Miss Cash says:
 We have had a successful year with a circulation of 122,32s-a gain of 1922 over last year. There has been small increase in the circulation of foreign books (27s.) We have added number of Polish books to out collection, which were selected by one of the priests.
 Advantage was taken of a chance 70 complete our set of New England Gen ealogical Registers at a reasonable price adding thereby to our valuable selection of genealogical works; the resources of the library are inconstant use to meet the demands of the public for informa- tion on this subject and countless others.
 Some fine large posters have been sent to us from the New York agency of the Paris-Lyon- -Mediterranee and Italian state railways, and have been hung in the reading room
 We list over fifty magazines and also the leading newspapers of New York Boston, Providence, Hartford, Spring field and Norwich.
 Our thanks are due the Norwich local press for many continued courtesies, and

BETTER SIDEWALKS.

In the city of Philadelphia a move ment is underway in behalf of better sidewalks and the putting into shape of those that are in bad state of repair. In urging such improvement 1t is well said that "A city is judged by the front which 1t presents to visitors and noth- ing derogates so greatly from the repu- tation of community for progressive ness and self respect as dingy house and store fronts and neglected street pay ing"
 Many are the communities which have much to answer for in the shape of di- lapidated walks or streets without walks An excellent example of what can be done in the way of such i'm provement is being offered at the pres ent time on the east side where walks are being laid where there were none before. It is in keeping with the high way improvement underway but 1t is nevertheless an improvement to proper ty and benefit to the pedestrians that speaks for itself It is one of those things that makes a most favorable i'm pression upon those who are entering the gateway of the city.
 Such instances cannot fail to serve as an example for others. and what Is now being urged in the city of Philadelphia is what is needed from time to time in every community to draw attention 10 such conditions and to stimulate in- creased civic interest and effort Like wise it is well to remember that poor walks are menace as well as a bad advertisement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Question of . Tax Map.

The Question of Q Tax Map.
 MT Editor: A syncopated miniature of engineering ssdn is shown In the Bos- ton store window. called Sample Tax Map of Town of Norwich"
 The very fact that this map does not perties represented goes to prove the fal- lacy of such a graft on the purses of the taxpayers.
 Our assessors are intelligent electors selected by the voters of our town and to spring such comment on our public of- ficials as has been done by gentlemen of more or less repute from out of our city should not be considered by our town people for moment
 Norwich has been in the past lemon to be squeezed and 1t has now got to the time when we should have the "ade' which comes from such process.
 Call of the hot air artist and let the tax paying business men Of our city get together and their common sense will again govern our town. Reckless spend , ing of public money Is ruining our town. Large industries recognize the fact that better values must be given for eer- tain sum and a corresponding value must be also received. An opinion that pub- lie office is an opportunity to receive per sonal gain has been too prevalent in the past ana now me taxpayers are aWake to the situation and will hope, express that patriotic spirit of self action that has brought our city and town into being. | Our next town meeting will decide many points of action for the coming year and to vote any reckless appropriating of money out of the common fund of | taxation needs care and consideration | by all who pay the taxes as well as the legal voters

ouALIFYINe FoR THE sERRs.

The real interest in the big league championships this year has rested in the American league, where the contest between the New York and St. Louis teams has been close for much of the season, and now after a spurt when it was supposed it had lost all chance the latter team is making fight which may result in a tie, and therefore extra games to determine which team shall enter the worlds series against the New York Nationals. Today's contests are therefore as vital as any of the season and the hard fought contest indicates how well matched are the two leading clubs in this league.
 Such finish is bound to whet the in terest in the coming worlds series, and it will be decided surprise if the St. Louis team manages to nose out the New York aggregation which has been picked to win the worlds champion ship. This test of merit between the winners in the respective league is one of the great national sporting events, eliminating as 1t does the baseball sea- son and bringing together some of | greatest ball players in the country.
 The aggregation Of players that cap- lures it's leagues pennant must be given due credit for its accomplishment It requires ball playing of superior ability and teamwork of the highest type to land in the coveted position and when two such teams meet for a series of games it is bound to attract fans from the four corners of the country and some out of the way corners of the globe. It is contest that means much to those that participate and likewise to the loy- CTS of baseball.

 If the news is true that De Valera has abdicated along with his friends there is no question but what a vaiuable service has been rendered to Ireland 1t is 6 move that has been urged for long time by those who have had the interest of the Emerald Isle at heart and who understood what havoc he was causing there by the continuance of his hopeless effort.
