SCIENTISTS ARE
 TELLING WHERE
 LIFE HAD START
Garden of Eden Was Sit- uated Where Latitudes COnyerge-Life Began in Rain Puddle

Washington. Dec 14.-(UP)- Life began in rain puddles at the poles of the earth, or, if the funda- inentalists please, the Garden of Eden was situated where attitudes and longitudes converge, Assar Hadding, Swedish geologist, de- clared in the annual report of the Smithsonian Institution to-day.
 Before the first rains no organ ism life existed, Hadding submits. because the earth had not cooled sufficiently to permit the conden- sation of water, the first puddles, he explains, must have occurred in winter at one or both of the polca, ard in these cells were born.
 Hadding does not attempt to estimate the age of the human race, but the report contains a reckoning by stephen R. Richars, anthropoligist, St Mary's college and seminary, Techny, III.
 Richars presents evidence that

Waterbury's 1892 budget will be adopted by the aldermen tonight at their adjourned meeting, it ap- peared highly possible today. In- dications were that when the print ed copies of the budget set up by the finance board are received by the aldermen this evening they will immediately set to work to investigate the figures and then pass the vote of adoption setting the 1892 tax rate at 34 mills and providing for appropriations total ling $6,2S7,407.05. <.
 City Clerk Edward B. O'Donnell this morning received printed cop ies of the tentative 1892 budget. These will be issued to the alder men tonight for their inspection. No changes in the financial pro- gram as approved by Mayor Frank Hayes, Controller Daniel J.

Expect Board To Ratify 1882
 Running Expenses
No Changes Anticipated as Gufoile, Democratic Whip Prepares to Pass Measme-LOwer Expenditures Than Previous Years Feature Schedule

Alderman George R. Guilfoile, democratic leader, stated today that he has looked over the tenta- tive budget and is ready to pass the vote of adoption tonight if the remainder of the board is willing.
 The budget is unique in many ways. It provides for decrease of one mill in the tax levy in the face of a tendency on the part of other municipalities to increase taxes, it calls for lower expendi- lures in 1892 than in the current year and, in general, sets up 8 fi- nancial program that is considered one of the most conservative the city has seen in several years.
 If the budget is adopted by the aldermen tonight, another record will be set for as rule the alder men generally waits until around the goth to pass the final vote of approval. The set up of the 1882 budget is the same, in form as the one for the current year and Is in line with the suggestions laid out by the charter commission.

SCHOOL BUILDING

FRIDAY, MAY z

The board of trustees of school
district No. 20 has fixed Friday,
May % as the date for holding the
school building bond election. This
election will be held at the Plen-
tywood School house with the polls
open from 200 to 500 p. m.
1t is expected that all interested
patrons of the school who are quail
flied taxpaying electors will go to
the polls on that day and express
their wish in regard to this long
talked of building program. The
need for such a building program
has been long recognized in the
community and is at this time
practically a necessity. 1t has taken
several years of careful manage

the financial condition of the dis

a building bond. The time has now
arrived when such an issue can be
handled without any increase II

The opportunity of taking worl

and girls from the seventh grad,
