Waterbury's tentative budget for the. year of 1888 will be ready for presentation to the board Of finance next Tuesday. Announce- ment to this effect was made yes- terday afternoon at the bi-monthly meeting of the finance commits sionerB. The board, therefore, ad- journed until next Tuesday at which time the work of setting up the final 1893 estimates of re- ceipts and expenditures will De started.
 For the past month Executive Secretary Thomas F. Kelly has been engaged in studying the ten- tatfve figures of the various mu- nicipal departments. The. depart mental heads filed their estimates with him about four weeks ago.
 The main effort being made is one directed towards preventing any increase in the municipal tax rate. Original figures submitted to Executive Secretary Kelly called for such large expenditures that 1t would have been necessary to increase the tax levy in order to meet all demands. These figures have been slashed, however, by MT Kelly and 1t is likely that the finance board will do some more slashing before the 1883 budget is ready for presentation to the alder men. The present tax rate is S4 mills.
 Controller Daniel J. Leary re- ported to the board yesterday that

We told them months ago we couldn't
appear in all those carnivals right
after participating in the Olympics

What happened Is this: They went

MIGHT M0DERN|ZE
ANTITRUST LAWS
Fate Of Small Merchant in Bus.
mess Hangs in Balance,
Scion Says

Washington, Feb. 22.-(PeThe hal
ter which the government fashioned
for big business in the horse-and
buggy days may be traded in the not
too distant future for equipment bet
ter fitted to guide it in this swift NOV
ing era.
Long-gathered demands for revi-
sion of the antitrust laws have been
met with q formal request by the
house judiciary committee for author
ity to investigate the whole structure
Of business controlling law, with a
view to recommending changes.
The request is in the hands Of the
rules committee, and upon its decision
| probably will rest the fate of the pro-
posal.
Chairman Summers of the judiciary
committee pointed out no important
revision of these laws has been made
in 20 years. He merely limited at the
revolutionary course of business and
industry since that time-the enorm-
Gus expansion and branchine out IN
directions then undreamed OF.
But, he pointed out, there are press
ing demands for bringing the statutes
up to date. One big group wants ap-
prevail for trade agreements and con-
solidation of interests on an even
more gigantic scale than now obtains
Another wing Of opinion fears the in
dependence of the small businessman
and industrialist is being crushed In
an economic vice from which present
statutes cannot save him.
I'VE are at the forks Of the road,
said Summers, "the question i
whether we shall protect the fast dis
appearing little man In business and
industry, or let him go and permit
concentrated business to control the
situation"
