night that Willow Brook Park, not
 considering the athletic field at all, is
 a real park and would give the pco- i pie of the city considerable pleasure if it were opened up by means
 Of roads running into it. Many, if not most, of the people Of the city do not realize this fact and it was only be- cause there was free discussion of the matter conducted in the best of spirit, that it developed at the common
 council meeting last night. The mem-
 bers saw at once, since this was the
 situation, that it would be advisable to provide means of entrance to this park. The members felt, on the other hand, that since sS5,O0O had been
 spent on the Willow Brook Park, a
 like amount should be expended at
 the other end of the city. Any road
 improvement at Willow Brook Park,
 however, under the proposed plan,
 would have 10 be paid for out of the
 sS5. 900 planned to be used for the
 Stanley Quarter Park-and the mem-
 bcrs did not like this idea of sighting
 the recreation spot Of the North End.
 The final action taken was the only
 one possible under the circumstances,
 with practically all the members eager to do the fair thing. The sum of
 s10,0O0 was added to the proposed
 bond issue, the same to be spent to provide roads into the already exist ing but barred, attractive Willow Brook Park-therc to be none of that money spent on improvements for the athletic field-and the authorization of the bond issue given. Thus the peo- pie of the North End have received fair treatment: the people who want to see an already attractive park at the other end of the city opened up have been satisfied in their reasonable anu Alif pun anu S"i roundngs in Walnut Hill Park will be made a more fitting place for all the children in the city to enjoy.
 The proposal of lone alderman to limit tho park improvements 10 ss0, ,0O0 now, because he anticipates a period of hard times" when labor will be cheap, received scant consider ation. The proper attitude of the members of the council was that the city of New Britain should not wait to develop the city until such time came when men would be out of work and a general time Of depression would 1 Come, They believe, quite probably i and they hope most earnestly that mo i such time won't come at all"

TRENCH POLITICS
 STILL UNDECIDED
Winners in Election Have Made
 No Definite Plans
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, May 15.--The coalition of the left seems less and less decided on what to do with the victory won in Sundays elections.
 The socialists, who claim the lions share of the credit for defeating the i Bloc National, are beginning to show uneasiness at the continued absence of such mon as Herriot, Painlere and Briand, who logically, they say, should i be at the helm of the new coalition ship but all of whom appear to be waiting for someone else to take command.
 The leaders of the socialist party. after yesterday deciding they would not participate in the government. changed their opinion when unable to find radical and republican social ist leaders with whom to deal, and have concluded to call a convention of the socialist party for June l, when they will propose the question whether members of the party may accept posts in the cabinet under a capitalist regime.
 Some of the more ardent and im- patient socialists and rcdicals are rather severe on the leaders who ro- main in seclusion now that the vic- tory is won, after working diligently all winter and spring to organize tho coalition. They declare that the most active of these leaders, Herrlot and Painlcve, have now made known through their friends that they arc available candidates for such 'in- active" jobs as the presidency of the republic and the presidency Of the chamber of deputies, two Of the most lucrative and uncompromising posts in the republic.
 These criticisms have melted the socialist leaders to action, and groups in the lobbies of the chamber al- ready are discussing the eNentuality of Paul Boncour. and Leon Blum having a ministerial combination ready before the radicals wake up."
 Nj. Herriot, head of the radical party and outstanding figure in the coalition of the left which emerged victorious from the parliamentary elections, is waiting for the political situation 10 clarify before taking a decision as to his future course, he is quoted as declaring 10 the Lyons correspondent of Le Matin.
 After the formidable tidal wave which has submerged French poli- ties" said N. Herriot. the parties lave need to get back their breath and the elected deputies 10 be clsssi- fled in well defined groups. Until then I shall observe strictest reserve, and take no attitude of decision. ] am leaving today on a short trip"
 M Herriot is visiting the depart ment of war and also the province Of Dauphine.

SMALLPOX SUFFERERS

The sympathy Of the people of the city for those who have been afflicted with smallpox did not die out when they recovered, as most of them did. The period Of their sickness was a trying one, and one that many of them will never forget. Moreover in some cases those victims, even though cured, will bear marks which will re- mind them always. until the great healer. time, makes them realize that the visible reminders of the disease will make no difference with the feel ing of affection in which they are held by their friends, of the distressing days when they feared death might come. We sympathize with them alL and those victims will remember that the authorities of the city, in that aw- full time, disregarded expense and all considerations other than that of making their suffering as easy to bear as possible, and to protect others in the city from similar sorrow.
 But with the restoration to health of those who had the smallpox tho city may no longer show material evidences of the sympathy still felt for them. During the time of the sick ness all was done that could possible be done. Now, however there is no duty resting upon the city to pay the fun- eral expenses of those who died, nor the rent Of their homes during tho time tho sufferers were auarantined. The sickness came to those who con- tracted 1t through no fault of the other people of the city, and gladly have those others accepted the burden of expense involved in caring for the sufferers And that expense, which will have to be met by all the taxpayers indirectly is by no means inconsider- able. The greatest eagerness was shown by the health authorities and the employees in the health depart ment to make the life Of the sufferers as easy as possible. Food and fuel was furnished them and much of the work about the auarantincd premises was attended to by those upon whom was laid no such duty A spirit of help fulness peryaded the department, and the common council. representing the other people Of the city, recognized that spirit in material way. The city did everything demanded of n and more, and added a humn touch 10 the help it gve. that may not he estimated in dollars and cents.
 And so, still feeling sorry for all who suffered through sickness or through the loss of dear ones. the people of the city feel that they may not be asked to do more than has already been done except as new cases should develop. new emergencies to be met.

SPRING RENOVATION

Every year as spripg cones the inn | ton, has been compelling. And it has
 been along the lines of natures cX- l that we have written, with less of the practical details as referred to by a ! communication printed in the Herald
 last Saturday which properly empha- i sized the value and propriety of hay- i ing general "clean-up" in the spring. Perhaps a sub-conscious prejudice against weeks" or any kind, and an instructive feeling that 1t is not
 always seemly to suggest to people what they should do and when, in re- gard to their own, has influenced us i 10 refrain from dwelling upon the im- portance Of this feature Of the spring.
 Why should any special week be
 designated as the time to clean up
 ones premises, and why should any one man or group of men insist that now" is the time to do it., There has been and is continually quite enough of interfering with other peoples busi- ness and the tendency to draw chalk mark for others to walk upon is suffi- ciently strong without setting apart, arbitrarily, certain time when all people should do certain thing.
 Nevertheless the spirit of the Her aids correspondent is the proper spirit and it is that sentiment in favor of spring renovation of the physical as well as of the spiritual that we should like to emphasize.
 The first symptoms Of loss of ambi- ton, efficiency, come in the form of general carelcssness or appearances reflected from the mental attitude of the individual. No one may get so cynical as to fail to be impressed by the evidences Of care certain mon and women show i'm regard 10 their homes and the land about them. At no time of the year is that natural impulse to "cIcan up" so strong ss in tho spring, anl the spring is the time to give full play to the desire 10 aid nature in her efforts to make fresh again all tho earth. 1T, at last, the weather has cleared so that work out Of doors is possible we should like to see the sug- gestion of our correspondent fellow ed out, not necessarily by a ''clcan- up" week. but by evidences of inc carrying out, every day, If possible, the commendable desire 10 have ones premises in tho best shape, attractive in appearance. Individual efforts count, of course, but of Jar greater effect is combined. universal effort, IL is for this reason that the appearance of the city would change almost over night were its residents 10 begin now 10 clear away that rubbish; 10 smooth out the rough spots about the yard. 10 plant flowers and to do everything possible to make each home attractive 10 the passer-by as well as to those who dwell in it. The effect would not only he seen but felt by those who gave themselves to the work, and when 1t is completed there will be splendid reaction that will make for us a more pappy spring and summer; period Of greater appreciation Of the beauty of the city, sometimes hidden because Of neglect, but always ready to respond to the slightest effort 10 bring it out.
 Every day. for while, might well be a "cleau-up' day for those of us who have charge Of permises that need attention.
