 Would Issue Warrant for Mayor
 "Onc of the items shows that the mayor himself owes taxes 10 the city and has refused or neglected 10 pay upon your demand think you should issue an alias tax war rant and require the mayor among all of the citizens of New Britain to pay his taxes, if any arc due. Fur ther, you should proceed without hesitation to require all who arc iT the public life of the city to lo likewise. In such q program the courts will stand ny you and all good citizens of New Britain who pay their taxes promptly will stand by you, Those who pay their taxes promptly, q vast number of them, have to dig sharply into their tills to get the money. Many have paid you promptly who are in just as much or more trouble as many of the delinquents who are setting up the outcry about such payments. It is unfair to those who pay promptly and support the city to permit others, however prominent in poli- ties they may be, 10 escape their obligations. Every man and woman in New Britain, every taxpayer, large and small, who has paid should, and. in my judgment. will rally to your support if you proceed along the precise lines which it appears you have been doing to require the tax

 Reports to Banks Common

| Your method of reporting to tho state. It saves the necessity of issuing tax warrants and unneces- sary annoyance and expense to the taxpayer. The alias tax warrant. served by an office. is the method most effective and most commonly used in those towns and cities where tax delinquency becomes a habit with altogether too many people. "Further, l cannot sec anything in the laws of this state which au- thorizcs the common council of New 1 Britain, the sclectmcn, or any pri- 1 Vatc citizen to call you to order for ! your effort 10 comply with your oath Of office and 10 give effective service l to the warrant which those officials 1 themselves have placed in your cus- i tody. The charter Of the city of 1 New Britain requires that the war rant shall be signed by the mayor. | When you obtained this warrant it was your obligation forthwith to col | lcct all taxes due thereon, even as against the mayor himself. There is no provision in the warrant that 1 the mayor shall be excused from paying taxes. Now if the mayor or | other city officials do not wish that there should be a warrant given to you according to law, the mayor should not have signed such a war rant. In fact, if he did not wish to sign such a warrant or did not wish to pay taxes and have other citizens pay taxes he should not have run for | mayor. It is too late now for the mayor or any other of the city off cials who are sworn to perform 1 duties according to law to object to the work which you do in full com- plianCc with the law.
 Says People Back Loomis
 "Thc good citizens of New Britain. I have no doubt, will wonder what kind of business this is. I regret it is necessary for anybody to have to be pursued by the tax gatherers. There is only one way the taxpayers of New Britain can obtain any relief and that is to discontinue expcnding so much money. So long as they do cXpend money for carrying out the various activities of the city they will have to stand for the offensive ness of the business and pay taxes according to law. l take my position on the side Of the 9S per cent of the people of New Britain who have re- sponded annually to your demand for payment of taxes.
 Delinquent Though Prosperous
 'Thc press articles to which refer encc is made show that times have grown dull in New Britain and that at least some of those complaining obtain small weekly wages. The fact is, as l gather from the official re- ports to me, there have been con- siderable delinquencies during pe- riods of prosperity, such as have preceded the current year. Many of the same people who are putting up the outcry now were delinquent in periods of prosperity. In the periods of prosperity, 1 have thought that you were more than patient under your obligation to forthwith collect as directed by the mayor when he issued his warrant.
 q am writing this to encourage you to proceed according to the laws of the state in your official ca pacity to collect the amounts due from all, with favors to no one.
 Yours truly,
 "(Signed)

The N-5 is 37l feet long 32 feet , inches broad, and has q standard surface displacement of 2760 tons. with a corresponding mean draft of 1J feet II inches. This is the Washington treaty standard dis placement, which excludes fuel oil It's operating surface displacement will therefore be somewhat greater. The submerged displacement will be 396o tons.
 The gigantic proportions Of the N-5 are attributable to the fact that it has been designed to give the i maximum reliability of machinery and equipment on extended cruising and the greatest endurance of the crew, which is governed largely by ! th" comforts that can be given them Light officers and so men will be assigned to the vessel
 To Be Tested In May The N-5 is scheduled to be com mlssloned on May %. 1880 and 10 complete it's preliminary trials ou August 1. 1880. Subsequently the l craft probably will be assigned to the submarine division of the battle fleet which usually is based on the Pacific coast.
 Except for some of the larger electrical apparatus. the N-5 is en- tlreIy navy product. It was de- slgned in the navy department and is powered with Diesel engines con- structed at the Brooklyn, N. Y, nary yard. The hull and most of the auxiliary machinery and large part Of the electrical equipment were built at the local navy yard.
