A 'fRUE OBSERVANCE or MOTHERS DAY

Mothers lay which is 10 1o cr.c- hrated tomorrow, touches thc most tender of sentiments. T. Is a Jay Of the year Thon inc memory Of man turns 10 the Jays when he was little todd'os at his mothers knea. when great hopes for lis future were entor'ainel by the 1o,.nr par ent, when he listened with the un- bounded astonishmcat oe childhood 10 tho wondrouS ta,rs oc raa catrv world that she delighted 10 tel him
 Maybe tho mother s,.J is Iilr.;. and 1, SO sho Will become tne main thought in the hearts and minds of her children during the day, Maybe she has passed to her re- ward; and if this sad continuation has come 70 her nfcs work the memory ot her unsclfsh care will be paramount
 A mothers love ls of that en- during quality which does not di- minish until her cyoids are pressed down by the tender hands of her beloved. There is nothing comnar- able 10 it upon this earth. And it ia meet that those who are the benofciaries Of such exalted lovc- or who were before the last cur tain wen. down - s&ou,d reflect 1t by their own emotions, join her high ideals, unhounded hope and loving tender care with proper Iiv- Ing and aspirations, and in every sense justify the relationship.
 Mothers Day is not wholly cele- brated by the wearing Of flowers. It is down in ones heart wh.re true observance mus. lie. Lot Us search ourselves anl purge our selves Oc every thought that de- voted mother could not know; let us dedicate ourselves again to live and work anI play in such man ner that living mother wIH not be frieved; Or which will not corrodc the treasured remembrance Of one who is gone.

When Governor Trumbul legalize, changes in the charter of the City of New Britain advocated by tho re- vision committee and Senator Ed ward F. Hall. the city will be with out body to act as a check on the board Of finance and taxation and the common council.
 This Is the first time in the city's history that the old town meeting or some similar body has not been q part Of the system of government, The common council will, under the amended charter, have entire say.
 New Britain will occupy Q unique position in this respect among the municipalities of the state. The idea of city meetings has been abandoned by comparatively few cities, and of those who come in this category, many have made provision for spe- cial elections on big bond issues, im- port public works and in fact on al- most every extraordinary eXpendi- lure. No such provision has been made in the amendment now before the governor for approval.
 The budget will be prepared in the usual manner. the board of finance and taxation holding hearings, send ing its recommendation to the com mon council for approval. Instead of referring the budget 10 city meeting or a city meeting board, the council will in the future take final action. The same condition will be true of bond issues and special lcvics.
 Several years ago the city meeting developed into an unwieldly body and on many occasions q very unruly one, particularly during the last Quigley administration and the first part of the Curtis administration. The charter revision committee took cognizanCe of the situation and pre- pared q resolution creating the city meeting board. This body was 10 he made up of 4 representatives from each ward, eight of whom would he elected annually for three year terms. the common council and the board of finance. Members elected 10 this body showed such q small degree Of interest that there was danger that its decisions would not be legal and binding in the ab- scnCe Of a quorum, which condition has heen true almost from the start.
 After the charter revision com mittee had completed its work Sen ator Hall added an amendment to eliminate the city meeting board be- cause of the lack of interest and the committee on cities and boroughs approved.
 It was supposed by many interest ed in municipal doings that the amendment would bring about res toration of the old town meeting, but announcement was made yes- terday that that body, too, is to be dream of the past
 The charter can be amended only every two years and even if the electors are not content with the placing Of such sweeping powers in the hands of the common council they will be pow"rless to act until 1927.
