: City Seeks Early
 Collection To  Offset Loan 
Ennis Hopes Property Owners Will Pay InstalIment During April and Thus Make It Possible for Municipality to Get Along Without Temporary Monies-Co-operation May Bring Further Tax Reduction

were busily engaged today com putting taxes and making out the 1892 bills preparatory for mailing.
 This year, Tax Collector Ennis stated, the city will make an in tensive drive to collect current taxes 50 as to give the municipal ity the chance to offset the neces- sity of floating another temporary loan with which to finance the carrying on of business pending financial receipts in the city treas- ury.
 The bills are being sent out early this year in order to give those so situated an opportunity to pay their bills in advance of May if they desire to. If enough money is realized in advance of May and, in other words, during April. the city will be in a position, possibly, to meet current expenses without having to seek another loan in New York or Boston.
 Escaping such necessity, it is pointed out, the city will save much in interest and will, therefore, be in position to keep down eX- ed, it was added, it will point more towards possible reduction in the tax rate for 1893.
 Tax Collector Ennis estimated today that 5000 bills will be ready for mailing by the end of the week. After that a thousand or so bills. daily, will be placed in the mail so that long before May list every

Plant Trees to
 Honor Washington
State School Journal Tells BiCentennial PrO=
 gram

The Connecticut School, a jour- nal published by the state board of education. is being received by q number of people in Waterbury. The February issue is devoted ex- clussively to the two hundredth an- niversary of George Washington, which will be observed all over the country this year. It is well worth careful reading by all American citizens. It tells of Washington's many other visits to, Waterbury and other matters of general inter- est. One of the things that should not be overlooked is the article on tree planting. For the benefit of people who may not see the publi- cation, the Democrat is printing the article. It is as follows:
 Planting trees to honor the memory of George Washington is a fitting tribute to the man who led our country to independence and guided it's early destiny as a nation.
 George Washington seems to have been born with love of trees and desire to preserve and cultivate them. On surveying trip to Northern Neck, Virginia, he vis- tied the warm springs at Bath, later Berkeley Springs, West Vir- ginia. There he planted an Amer ican elm which now bears the in- scription, This tree was planted by George Washington" Another elm famous in history was the patriarchal tree at Cambridge. Massachusetts, traditionally con- nected with General Washington when he assumed command of the Continental army on July 3, 1775. Famous also is the last of the thirteen horsechestnut trees set out by General Washington in the yard of his mothers home at Freder- icksburg at the close of the Revo- ultion. They were named for the to carry on the honor conferred upon it. At Mount Vernon to-day may be seen 45 trees planted either by George Washington per- sonally or under his supervision, still giving to the world their trib- ute of honor to his name.
 Trees played a very important part in the early battles of the American Revolution. In the ap- pe Hing defeat of Braddock and the retreat of the British from Lexing- ton trees served as a protection for the Revolutionary soldiers, a use with which the British regulars were unfamiliar.
 George Washington took par ticular delight in exchanging tree slips with his friends and from these slips grew a grove of frlend- ship trees at Mount Vernon. Tn later life friends from all corners of the world sent him seeds which grew into beautiful trees.
 ''In planting trees to the mem cry of George Washington. there is also planted with them all that trees meant to this great man--the com bined attributes of honest. loyal service that means immor- | tality."

Waterbury went musical last night in one of the most inspiring civic events that has ever taken place in this city, the Civic Choir Festival for the benefit of the Mu- tual Unemployment fund. Buck ingham hall was filled to capacity and the large feLtival chorus and separate musical groups that fea- tured the program were given a tremendous ovation. The event
 was marked by systematic order Illness: the program was of the proper length, we'll balanced and thoughtfully arranged, and throughout its length there was no
 hitch, the entire performance. smooth and unhurried. yet not
 long drawn out.
 In all it was musical and civic event of which the city might well be proud. The fine tone of the program and the splendid work of the entire body of singers reflects the cooperation of the many com- mittees who worked steadily for many weeks to make the affair a success, and to serve the purpose for which 1t was meant. Appear ing on last nights program were the festival chorus, composed of every choir in the city, the vested choir of Trinity church, the Mendelssohn Male chorus, the Russian choir, and the Negro chorus. All these groups were more than adequate in their per- formances.
 The gigantic task of conducting singers from thirty-three choirs of the city was handled by Isaac Beecher Clark, who for years has been an outstanding musical figure of the city in choral work of this kind. The large chorus last night made fine showing; and with ono rehearsal this was no easy task for singers or conductor. One of the especially fine numbers i.l the large chorus group was Gounod's Ave Verum". sung un- accompanied, the four hundred voices well controlled in the pian- issimo passages. The concluding program number, also by this group, the inspiring "Hallelujah Chorus, was fitting close to the 1-ogram. The boys choir of the Immaculate Conception church sang the celestial choir interlude in Gounod's Unfold eY Portals".
 The choristers from Trinity directed by Stanley Russell Waterman gave very fine pro- gram of four sacred numbers. Tken came 8 group of old favor- ties, the Mendelssohn Male chorus, with G. Loring Burwell conducting, their program having its custom ary artistic finish. The Russian choir so capably directed with the hands of Valery M. c. Ivanoff were an outstanding group and gave the audience distinct surprise in the character and accuracy of its work; dressed in the Russian cos- tune they sang all their numbers unaccompanied, and their direc-

 CHAMP STILL LEADS
Much Interest in Card Tournament of Holy
 Name Society
AT PARISH HALL

The fourth in the series of the "45" tournament of the Holy Name Society of St Francis Xavier church in the parish hali last night was largely attended, quite a num- Der of spectators being present. John Fitzmaurice's team is still in the lead, yet Mir Fitz- maurice got quite a jolt at the close of the contest when he found that he had lost to Horan's young bloods. who claimed that Fitz- maurice has won enough victories and that he is doomed to lose his laursls before the tournament is over.
 John Bowey, John Fitzmaurice and a few others who have won high places in the game rarely sit in with their teams. Instead they act as overseers and insinuated last night that they are keeping an eye on players who show @ disposition to cheat. That's one version of the case, but others claim that they have been ruled out for em- ploying questionable methods.
 The points for the games last night were as follows: Fitzmau- rice 22, O'Donnell 20, Horan 23, Bowey. 19, Phelan 21, Dalton 21, Kelly 24, Byrnes IS, making total for the four games, Fitzmauricc 87, Horan 83, Phelan 80. Bowey 7S, O'Donnell 77, Byrnes "A, Dal-' ton 73, Kelly 72.
 It has not been decided as yet how many games are to be played, but that is left to the committee, Chairman Tom Byrnes will give this information to the players at the next game, which will take place at Washington Hall, Monday evening, February 22.
