nancial condition of the city at the present time while the mayor point ed out that the city has no unfunded debt ct the present time. Town Chairman Upson declared in the course of his remarks that he repre- sented most of the taxpayers of Waterbury. This brought retort from Mayor Hayes who said: I'm surprised that I am mayor if that is true."
 Proud of City
 Representative John D. Thoms asserted that the city's financial condition Is excellent at the present time. "I am proud of the city oi Waterbury and also proud to be n member of its finance board" he said. Representative Daniel J. Ma nancy stated that his family has been paying taxes in Waterbury for more than 100 years and that he, as q large taxpayer, was not opposed to tho bond issues.
 On the street improvement bonds Mayor Hayes pointed out that the city is working amicably with the city to bring about an arrangement as to the division of the cost of re- paving the main streets. He de- clared that the cost of street im- provelnents of the kind planned should not come out of current revenue.

constant operation through the good weather months of the year, the ex- pansion of the Complaint Section and the Safety Education Section in building the Traffic accident Pre- vention Program of the department, the enlargement of the Gasoline Re- fund Section to care for the de- mands created by increased sales of gasoline, the establishment of ad- ditional Examination stations for applicants seeking licenses, the establishment of thirteen temporary offices for the distribution of regis trations and licenses each year and the increased personnel required to affect transfer of the methods of handling registration certificates and operators licenses.
 In connection with all these eX- pansions of personnel. and duties the objective was greater service to the public.
 No better Illustration could be offered than the improvement in registering cars aid renewing oper- ators' licenses. The long line is gone forever at the main office and at all the branch offices. The method has been simplified for the public so that all the applicant has to do is sign the application. Five minutes is all the time required to handle any applicant in line. The newspapers emphasized this service in connect ion with the recent issue of regis trations when a record number of applicants were handled at the main office of the department and at each of the nine branches and the thirt- cen temporary offices established throughout the state.

The year 1886 brought peak de- mand upon the personnel and equipment of the State Department of Motor Vehicles.
 The reciepts of the department reached the highest total in the his- tory of the department, $l4,626, l05.4O
 The department registered 409,950 motor vehicles, the greatest total ever, exceeding 1885 by more than 3O,OO0 registrations.
 The department licensed an army of 474, 4,403 operators. exceeding the record total for 1885 by more than 35, 5,000 licenses.
 The greatest traffic flow in the history of the state is shown by the gasoline consumption for the year of 1886, the gallonage being 287, ,l93,- 100 or nearly 23,000.000 gallons greater than the preceding year.
 The department examined the unprecedented total of 56,084 men and women seeking operators lic- cnses. an increase of more than a thousand month over the preced- ing year of 1895.
 In all the varied phases of the departments activities the personnel and equipment was taxed during 1886 to extend to the public the type of service to which the citizens are entitled.
 Comparison of the 1886 figures with preceding years, going back as far as 1892, make the totals for those years seem small, indeed, when balanced against the peak re- ports for 1886.
 Among the new activities of the department in recent years was the creation of the Dealers and Repair CTS Section. the institution of the semi-annual Motor Vehicles Inspect ion with ten and eleven lanes in

GIRL SCOUTS PLAN
 BIRTHDAY PARTY
Testimonial Planned for Juliette Low, Founder of
 International Movement

Gil Scouts In the United States will celebrate their 25th birthday on E.arc. 12 with two definite ob- jectives for the year, according to Mrs. George Cowperthwait. commis- sio.,er of tn, Waterbury Girl Scout c. rcil. They will honor Juliette Low, founder of the movement in this country. and expand the pro- gram as recommended in the recent study made by Charles H. Young of McGill and Chicago Universities, a committee of prominent educators and sociologists. These recommen- dations, presented at the Girl Scout national convention in Cincinnati last fall, were based on an lS- months nationwide study. No changes will be made in the basic i rinciples and philosophy of the movement. but more adequate pro- g. ;m material will be offered to younger girl scouts, or brownies, in the seven to ten year old age group, and to the older girls, from fourteen eighteen.
 In spite of the fact that Mrs. ov's life was full to the brim of variety, adventure, romance and wide cosmopolitan experience, which came from her many trips to dis tant lands, she knew poverty and self lenial when she was child. Born in Savannah. Georgia, her early life as Juliette, or aDisy. Cor dol. was spent in the Civil War at. E.ospberc of anxiety. tension and uncertainty which was the back g. ,,lnd of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind"
 All of the experiences in Juliettc Lows life seemed to be fitting her for the role she was to play in creating a national rccreational movement for girls. From March, 1912, when she called the first m .cting of girl scouts in her home in Savannah, until the day of her death carly in 1927, Daisy Gordon Low devotel all of her time and her tremendous energy to tho develop ment of girl scouting.

AIIU G. ItODGIL OCSNCIlSOIl.
 Admitting that the administration of Mayor Hayes had reduced the tax rate from A to 31.50 mills, the g.o.p. opponents to the bills stated that they would favor seeing the rate go up a little so that the i'm. provemeflts proposed by the city could be financed out of current revenue.
 Favorable Report
 Tn executive session following the public hearing the committee voted to report favorably on the various bills which provide for 4i.l20.000 in funding bonds, $35,000 in abattor bonds. $300,000 in sewage bonds, $l.- 100000 in street improvement bonds and $lOO,OO0 in bridge bonds. Re- publican opposition failed to con- vince the committee that the city of Waterbury is taking the wroiig course in selling bonds rather than raising the tax rate.
 Both Mayor Hayes and Controller Leary pointed out that the city will hit its peak in bond redemption i'll 1889 and that there will then occur a gradual lighting of the burden of interest and redemption. They also explained that by selling the bonds the cost of the work necessary could be spread over a period of years without putting the burden on the taxpayers shoulders all at one time. The purposes for which the various bonds will be used was explained.
 Bridge Bonds
 City Engineer Robert A. Cairns supported the mayor and controller. Referring to the $l00,000 bridge bond issue, he said, that there are sev- eral bridges in the city that are in poor condition, having been erected as far back as 1880. He and the mayor explained that the $300,00O in sewage bonds will be used to build a trunk sewer up the Mad river val- ley similar to the one constructed a few years ago in the Naugatuck river.
