The Editor of the Sentinel:
The New Year being the season
Of kind thoughts and good wishes,
seems appropriate to greet the
Sentinel with both.
l wish to mention particularly
the fact that, this paper gives it's
subscribers not only the latest and
most authentic political, social and
general news items of the county
and county seat, but it's entire at
mosphere is clean and free from
prejudice.
l also call attention to the COM
paratively few typographical
errors, thanks to the editor, proof
reader and printer. Compared with
many papers in the country. the
Sentinel should be placed in Grade
A..
wish to stress the fact that no
other newspapers inform US in de-
tail as to what is going on in the
county and in Rockville of a
strictly personal nature. Frequent
ly 1 have commented upon news
items dealing with local matters
and have been asked the source of
my information. My response is: 81
read my Sentinel as soon as / re-
ceive it, feeling sure / will know
what is going on at home. World
affairs will reach me by radio, even
if 1 do not read any other paper"
There is staff on the Sentinel
to whom l offer my congratula-
tons. The representatives of this
85-year-old publication are worthy
of the pioneer ambitions of Mat
thew Fields, first owner and pub
Usher. On my frequent visits to
the Sentinel Office, have, during
the past year especially, been i'm
pressed with the activity, dignity
and courtesy Of the entire force.
l am sure the intellectual, and
loyal patrons of this paper join me
in wishing the Montgomery
County Sentinel the prosperity it
deserves, with good measure and
overlooking.

plan is to place more generally
throughout the county small
groups of houses from two to
eight houses in a group. Major
Z. Brooke Lee, chairman of the
county housing authority has stat
ed recently that the authority will
not enter districts that oppose the
project.
Eight of the ten districts hold
ing meetings on the housing prob
lem voiced approval in one way or
another. This was definitely reflect
ed at the annual farm meeting. Not
only was there a lack of contro-
versy on the subject but Charles
C. Jones, owner of a farm near
Poolesville and protagonist in a
bitter fight against the housing
plan, and E. Brooke Lee, chairman
of the County Authority, teamed
together by endorsing the same di-
rector. Mr.. Jones nominated D. W.
Simpson and Mr.. Lee seconded the
nomination. Mr.. Simpson will rep
resent the Wheaton district.
The new board of directors will
meet January 5 to elect officers.
The meeting was held in the Cir

first group of assessors during the
past summer and fall.
"When the assessment was fin
ished and reports of partial find
ings thereon had been issued to the
public by such agencies as the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton, the Washington Post printed
an editorial praising the results of
the reassessment.
"As an individual, / have OBJ
served a number of the assess
ment hearings that have been held
by the members of the Board of
County Commissioners during the
past two months. In each case they
have with utmost consideration and
elaboration, heard everything that
the property owner cared to say
concerning his new assessment. The
commissioners have then taken the
matter under advisement and have
announced that they will have each
parcel of property, concerning
which the assessment has been pro-
tested, rechecked by the assessors.
The commissioners will then fix
original assessments, the findings
the valuation in the light of the
of the second group of assessors,
and the statements made by the
property owners.
Personally, / do not believe that
an organized movement or group
protests can produce moro care

MARKET GROWERS
 SPONSOR CONTEST
Prizes Offered to Local Stores for Fruit, Vege=
 table Display

The week of August 19 to 24th, it was announced in a statement is- sued today by the Connecticut De- partment of Agriculture, will be cel- ebrated as fruit and vegetable week in the city of Waterbury. AS a highlight of the weeks program, the Waterbury Market Growers asso- citation is planning to sponsor con- test to determine the best display of fruits and vegetables in the city re- tail markets,
 The contest, it was announced, will be held on Friday, August 23r6 and will be open to all classes and types of stores selling fruits and vegetables. The first, second, and third winners, in addition to the honor of being chosen Waterbury s finest markets, will be awarded cash prizes of $25, $15 and $5.
 The purpose of the contest, it was pointed out by the local association, is to promote better retailing meth ods and to increase the sales of Connecticut surplus produces. Dul- ing the past decade the production of truck crops in this section has increased nearly three fold. This situation has led to serious market ing difficulties, which usually reach theis most crucial stage in the peak production period of August. It is the hope of the Waterbury Market Growers association that this CO., operative program with tke retail trade will help to set up better mer- chandising standards and stimulate business during the normally dull vacation period.
 A local committee headed by Lloyd R. Williams, Waterbury mar ket reporter. and Frank DeBisschop Harry s. Coe, and Frank Rheinhard of the Market Growers Association are in charge of arrangements. The judging of displays will,be under the direction of Benjamin P. Storrs, di- rector of the Connecticut Bureau of Markets.

Flagpole Climber
 ProUides Thrills
 Ir, Painting Stunt

Passersby on Grand street shortly before eleven o'clock this morning craned their necks upward to watch the slow prog ress of a workman on the post office building climbing up the fagpole on the roof, as the pole bent gently this way and that beneath his weight. Wrapping his legs about the pole, and digging in with his spurs, he inched up the 35-foot climb. Upon his eventual arrival at the top, amid sighs of relief from spectators who did not envy him his trip on the slen- der, swaying pole, he removed the gilded ball from the top and sent it down to the roof by a rope, after which he began the slow descent again himself.
 The re-touching of the ball and the fiagpole is part of the general program of renovation of the post office building which is being done by the Brenner brothers of Philadel- phia. The work will take 75 days from start to finish, and Is going on both inside the post office, and on its exterior. Most of the work, however. Is less | spectacular than the pole climbing feat.

SUIT OVER TREES WITHDRAWN TODAY
Louis M. Raffel Defendant in Action Involving Sale
 of Christmas Trees

The case of Bernard A. Feinn and others against Louis M. Raffel, and others today was withdrawn from the superior court, in which the plaintiffs sought $1,500 damages in an action brought to court in Feb ruary, 1899.
 The sum was sought from Louis M. Raffel and Milton E. Raffel, do- ing business as the Canadian For est Products Co. Feinn claimed that in December of 1888 he entered into a contract with the company for one carload of Christmas trees, about 2,500 in all, at 85 cents a bundle. It was agreed in the con- tract that the trees were to be of standard size and quality. F'einn made down payment of $200 the rest to be paid on the delivery of the trees. According to the complaint, the trees, when they were delivered, proved to be brown, discolered, and misshapen, and were not saleable. The defendant, however, would not replace them, and kept the $200 payment. Feinn claimed that he lost 2,500 trees, at an average loss of 35 cents tree, in addition to $2O0.
