Boston, Oct 16-"We must never lose si3kt of the fact that safety of depositors comes ahead of profits to Stockholders" declared Thomas M.

PRUDENTIAL IN
 NEW QUARTERS
Informal Inspection This Afternoon of Rooms in
 Waterbury National
CONFIDENT OF FUTURE

An informal inspection of the new quarters of the local offices of the Prudential Life Insurance company in the Waterbury Nation al Bank building will be held this afternoon. It is an occasion that represents something more than a social event for Superintendent Roland H. Benjamin and his dis trict staff of seventy-five enthusias- tic workers and invited guests. The little get-together in the new quar- ters is in commemoration of two outstanding features of recent his- tory of the local offices, a change of location as evidence of supreme faith in the future of Waterbury and vicinity and test of public confidence in insurance. The test produced many remarkable re- suits in actual business. transac- tions that have placed 1t in the per- manent class known as "The Busi- ness that pays is the business that Stays"
 Some months ago Superintendent Benjamin decided on a change Of offices to meet increasing demands for service and for the convenience of agents and patrons. An ideal location on the fourth floor of the Waterbury National Bank building was obtained. This was the fore runner of the manifestations that the company held optimistic views for a Waterbury's future.
 As a test of confidence a special campaign was launched in the dis trict and the results checked with the amount of business written in periods of previous year. The results were most gratify- ing. The largest number of appli- cations for insurance previously received by the company here in any given period was exceeded by the avalanche of new business. All records were broken and the most convincing feature of the achieve ment is that the business has been proved as being of permanent nature.
 The outcome of the experiment Is interpreted as a vindication of the faith that Superintendent Ben jamin and his staff have in Water bury and augurs we'll for the fu- ture. The progress of insurance of recent months has been one Of the most encouraging features of a period that has witnessed so many drastic changes in other forms of business.
 This afternoon Superintendent Benjamin and his agents will have every reason to point with pride to their new quarters and their latest achievement.

MAKING OUT THE ANNUAL ESTIMATES
Mayor Warns Boards to Keep Within Funds
 on Hand
WHAT ABOUT lo3z

The different departments of the city government are busy these
 days preparing the estimates for next year, all of which will be acted upon before they go to the aldermen. Mayor Hayes has noti- fled all who have to do with such matters to keep a close eye on ex- penses for the balance of the year, so that no special appropria- tions will have to be made and as few transfers as possible.
 Judging by what one hears about the city hall there is a disposition on the part of the mayor and board of aldermen to make as low rate of taxation for 1892 as pos sible and not neglect anything that is. really urgent. To be sure the fixed charges, such as the payrolls. will have to be provided for and these without anything else will amount to quite an item.
 As a matter of fact, now as in the past much will depend on the attitude of the people. If a strong demand is made for improvements the only way they can be financed is by making a high rate of tax ation. But there are those who take the ground that Mayor Hayes will not be influenced by appeals of this sort and will make a levy which will be within the means of the masses. Most of them are now behind with the collector. not to
 mention their inability to meet in- l lterest on borrowed money. The question now being discussed is would it not be the part of wisdom to keep down expenses until such times as people who are financially
 embarrassed get on their feet again.

 Adverse To Parking
For Third Consecutive Year Use of Trolley to Bowl Is
 Advocated in Preference to Autos

street car. Two years ago, the Eli authorities for the first time included with the ticket applica- tions which are mailed to every alumnus a statement urging the use of street cars. Last year and this year, similar statements &C., companied the applications. con- firming the fact that the athletic association after years of experi- ence with the huge football crowds Is steadfast in its belief that the trolley under big game circum- stances is the best means of trans portaiton.
 Space near the Bowl which was formerly available for automobile parking Is rapidly being convert ed into tennis courts, soccer and lacrosse fields and other athletic grounds. So little space is now available that it has become neces- sary to furnish parking facilities upon these new areas of sport and this causes a large amount of damage to the fields. Consequent ly, the athletic association has fixed a charge of one dollar for each car parked to offset the cost involved in restoring the fields.
 Parking is prohibited on all streets within a radius of half a mile of the scene of the agnes, so that the motorist who drives to the Bowl must either pay for the parking privilege or else take a lengthy walk between his car and the ticket takers. The street cars operate from the railroad station and from the center of the city about every two minutes in the hours just preceding each contest and make their return following the games at even less headway. so that the service is as rapid as can be had motoring through the dense traffic and eliminates the inconven- fence which an auto involves.
