THE WHITE ROSE

THE WHITE ROSE
/ have seen many beautiful flowers
Roses and lilies fair
And sweet little modest violets
Whose fragrance filled all the air.
On the mountain Of Colorado
have gathered the blue Column
bine
And far sweeter the trailing
arbutus
In groves of hemlock and pine.
The orchard flowers are lovely
The short time that they with us
stay
And we all dearly love the car
nation
The sweet flower Of Mothers Day.
But last night I was wearied and
lonely
Almost discouraged and sad,
For life seemed burden only
With so little for which to be
glad.
sat in the open porch doorway
Inhaling the fresh evening air,
When 1 saw in my own little gar
den
A white rose, surprisingly fair.
oh! Yes! There are roses and
roses,
But this one seemed almost divine.
For it rivaled the lilly in whit
It was perfect in every line.
No artist could paint such q flower
No one Of such beauty could dream
And I gazed in awe and in won
der
At this beautiful white rose queen.
All, Jesus knew what we needed
When he babe us look on the flow
ers
When with sorrow and pain we
are wearied
How they tighten the lonely hours.
How they whisper of hope and
comfort
OF the love that he gives to rs
For he cares for the flowers and
he knoweth
When the finest sparrow doth
fall.
AS thot Of the blest Rose Of
Sharon
My troubles found sweet release
For into my heart had entered
The beautiful sweet dove Of peace.
And my heart was filled with
music
And blessing and praise and pray

lists by the assessors. Considerable time has been taken up by the as- sessors since they tarted work on the Tits a few weeks ago in ex- plaining to property owners the in- creased valuations placed on their properties by the revaluation com mittee composed of Harry H. Schofield and Michael B. Reidy. A general increase that amounts to about one-third has been made by the re-valuation committee on all properties. in some cases the increase runs well over 50 per cent. The contention of the re-valuation committee is that with the in crease the grand list will be raised to about $25,0O0,0OO. from the present figures of about $1S,000.- 900. resulting in a reduction in the mill tax rate. The claim made that a twenty-mill tax will raise as much on the increased list as the present twenty-seven mill tax. On the other hand many individual property owners have been heard to state that if a 20-mill tax was adopted on the increased value of their property they will pay con- siderable more in dollars and cents for their tax bills than they are at present. The report of the re- valuation committee has neve been accepted by the board of warden and burgesses as no report has been submitted to that body, yet the figures of the committee are being used in the lists made out by the assessors.

 The trail was marked during the past summer during which reg ister was placed in can at the historic Tories Den and a recent examination showed that there

 York, Atlanta and England.

 Maps have already been pub lished for the Quinnipiac Trial which runs from Mt Carmel to the Grand Junction and for the Tunxis Trail and the Mattatuck Trail, the latter now being marked from the junction to Jacks Cave in the southern part of the town and the last cave in this section to be in-

Many borough projects for which money has been appropriated will be started with the setting in of colder weather in order to give work to unemployed of the bor- ough, 1t Is reported. The borough has a considerable amount of sewer work to be done and there is much work to be done on the trunk line sewer for which bond issue was authorized at the last session of the general assembly. Work on the trunk line sewer on Riverside drive was halted in the spring by orders of the state high way department when traffic over the street became heavy. While the work was going on it was nec- essary to have man directing traffic near the excavation, only room for one car to pass being available. With cold weather again coming on and an expected slow ing up of auto traffic, 1t Is expect ed that the work will get under way.
