boats, airplanes, engines, ducks, which were repaired and redecO- rated. Many large articles in the forms of sleds, doll carriages, cra- dles and carts which had to have new parts and practically built over were among the contributions made by the scouts. In many cases dolls were received, and in such useless condition to apparent ly be worthless, but the scouts, as- sisted by their leaders, as well as the wives of some of the leaders. repaired and reclothed the dolls and put them into excellent condi- ton. f
 Each and every article was then wrapped and marked with the name of the article together with the age for which the present was to be given. They were then de- livered to the Lincoln House asso- citation or sent to other organiza- tions where they were needed.
 On the day before Christmas, a scout delegation from each troop reported at the Lincoln House as- sociation at 2 o'clock and cooper ated with the officials of that in- stitution in the delivery to the nu- merous families over 200 Christmas bags in which were Christmas din- ners and the repaired toys. These scouts stayed on the job until every family was taken care of.

TAXATION IN NEW ENGLAND
Campaign Suggested to Bring About Needed
 Remedial Measures
APPEAL TO RATEPAYERS

Worcester, Dec 2S-A campaign to stimulate In the month of Jan- uary concerted attack by commun- ities throughout the six New Eng land states on the problems of pub lie expenditures and taxation has been launched by the New England Council, all New England develop ment organization, through its Community development commit tee, of which John F. Tinsley, vice president and general manager of the Crompton and Knowles Loom Works of this city Is chairman.
 In 0 letter to Chambers of Commerce and other community organizations throughout New England, MT Tlnsley calls attention to the action of the community development session of the Seventh New England conference in urging by resolution that communities should immediately attack the problem of taxation on q local basis. As a result of this action, several communities in New Eng land have initiated movements toward the establishment of local taxpayers associations or other machinery for studying their tax problems.
 Declaring that 'the taxation situation in New England Is serious and that some concerted remedial action on the part of taxpayers themselves is necessary the letter to community organizations signed by Chairman Tinsley recommends "the development of effective or- ganization in each community to study and act upon It's own public expenditure and taxation problem
 "The Community development committee suggests that every Chamber of Commerce which has not already initiated action, call together the principal taxpayers in its community during January 1892, for the purpose of giving de- fiite consideration to its local tax situation. We suggest as materia' for discussion at such a meeting data comparing the rate or in- crease of local public expenditure and taxation with the increase of population and industrial activity: statement of the major ietms ,n local public expenditure. showing in what items there have been the largest increases; and a statement of the purposes, activities and ac- complishments of local taxpayers associations.
 If your community is an indus trial community, We suggest that you ask one or more industrialists to discuss this problem at your meeting from the industrial angle
 We earnestly hope that such 2 meeting In wour community VIII bring about definite action. such as arrangements for further study of your condition. or the formation of a Taxpayers association.
 Every one who was present ai the recent New England confer ence was made tO realize that the taxation and public expenditures situation in New England is serioua and that some concerted remedial action on the part Of the taxpayers themselves is necesHarq. We believe that the Chamber Of Commerce.. at the representative of the business Interests of the community, is the proper agency to take the fifs' step"

Dr Frazier Wilmington, 34, well known local colored physician, whose practice has been restricted by court orders and personal in- functions of judges, was ordered held under bonds of $2,000 today pending an examination of his mental and physical condition. As the result of an experience of the past week an effort was made in court this morning to have the doctor committed to the state hos pital at Norwich. The three wit nesses up whom the state depend ed for assistance proved close friends of the doctor and in the general laugh that followed the presentation of their evidence the defendant exhibited the greatest amusement.
 One of the three state witnesses stated that he was really "too mb-founded" to talk about the case. In his opinion the doctor always acted as a gentleman.

 Christmas Aid
Aid Materially in Making Yuletide Happy One for Waterburians in Need of Support

Excellent evidence of service to the community rendered by local troops of the Boy Scout council is we'll expressed by letetr to Scout Executive Arthur D. Marston from William Harris, secretary of the Lincoln House association.
 The letter in full follows:--- My Dear Mir Marston:
 I want to take this opportunity of thanking you for the services of the Boy Scouts in the delivery of packages from Lincoln House for Christmas and to say in addi- ton that l was especially impressed this year with the type of service which the boys rendered..
 They seemed to be an unusual fine group of Scouts and they seemed to show an unusual amount of initiative in planning in going ahead with the work so that there was no confusion and everything went off in a very orderly manner. Nearly two hundred baskets were delivered between 2 and 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Lincoln House association considers that this service which the scouts rem der annually to our organization at Christmas time is of unusual service to the community.
 I am sure that the two hundred families to whom these Christmas baskets were delivered in the same condition in which they left Lincoln House would wish me to express their appreciation also.
 Sincerely,
 LINCOLN HOUSE ASSN,
 William M. Harris,
 Executive Secretary.
 Holding troop meetings and en- toying themselves was not upper most in the minds of the scouts, for during the past few weeks they have been making plans to render their good turn" to those less for tunate.
 One feature of their helpfulness was the collection, repairing, and refinishing hundreds of toys and assisting in their distribution through local welfare organiza- tions.
 Troops featuring most were Troop 2, of the Second Congrega- tlonal church, and Troop Il of the Bunker Hill church. Other troops contributed their part in making up the total amount of donation of toys to the Lincoln House asso- ciation. Four hundred and thirty different toys and practical articles were delivered. Among the ar- ticlos listed were the following Dolls, electric trains, scooters, doll carriages, flexible flyers, folding tables, sieds all of which had to be repaired and practically made ovOr. Then there were also me- chAnical toys, such as tractors,
