His br n was his? tier than his opportunity so far as the“ Gazette was concerned snd.he gave less attention to the paper and more to other writing in the last half dozen years of life. He had original "ideas and the cour- age to express them. When he thought the occasion demanded be was radical in his discussion of public affairs. but usually be was conservative. Always be sought to be fair. He was fond of New Milford and jealous of its fair name and prosper- ity. If he thought public policy wrong in principle and certain to re suit in harm and loss, he did not hes- itate to say so, and sometimes was denounced for so doing, but general events fully justified his opposition. and those who had differed with him became the most ardent advocates of the very principles he had advised. In a life of Journalistic work we do not think that Joshut'A. Boiles ever intentionally wronged any man or vlo lated what he believed to be a duty, regardless of who was hit or helped. Perhaps he did not always bit the right. spot. Perhaps he was not al- ways right, but he always wanted to be right, and he never hesitated to admit error when convinced of it. His field of journalistic effort was not as large as that of some of his brothers of the press, but he was fully content with a smaller field than he might have occupied. He wanted to live in New Milford until the end 'of his time and he hoped to live many more years than were allotted to him.

The plan is working very successfully and “call me tip by tele- graph promises to become ii regular business phrase.

' , ‘ The exact figures of the appropria- tions have not been compiled by any of the departments at the Capitol, as the expenses of some of the depart- ments are provided for by statute law. But many of those laws were changed by the last General Assembly, so that larger sums might be expended for salaries and other purposes. In the main*‘the appropriations might be summar ed as follows: Agriculture bits .000, an increase of about $50,000. principally for the new dormitory for the Connecticut Agricultural Guild 0. Commissioners: 871.855, a material increase on account of increase in sal- aries and new commissions. Education, $1,459,000, which is ex-' pended for the support of normal and public schools and for their super- vision. Thls item is nearly one-third larger than it was two years ago. Humane institutions, 81,936.140. There is an increase of about $6,000,- 000 in this item, which is accounted for by the appropriation for the Nor- wich insane asylum. The insane are said to be increasing in number in the State at the rate of 90 a year. and this means increased, cost for their sup- port. The cost of the executive depart- ment is practically the same from your to year, and an appropriation of “10,840 is required to cover it. The cost of the Judicial branch of reaches nearly $1,000,000 for the two years. Of course, no one knows when or where a sensational murder may occur which will require the services of eminent legal and medical men, which always come high. The military department cost a little over $400,000 to maintain it for two years, and the cost does not vary much from year to year. The State prison seems to be the only institution looking to the State for support which is showing a reduc- tion in the cost of maintenance. The sum of $286,000 is appropriated by the State for the support of its penal in- stltutlon, but the State prison does not use up the. sum alloted to it, and turns a goodly sum back to tho trcas ury. Wardcn Garvin is in the peculiar position of dopiorlng the large num- ber o. convicts under his care, but he says if there were more the lnstitir Ilon would be self-supporting. This is accounted for by the profit accruing from goods manufactured by prison labor within its walls. ' To guard against an empty treas- ury, the last Legislature authorized the, issue of bonds, which plight be sold to meet the obligations. The last General Assembly had a icaacy of debt. thrown upon it and it look $373,120 to fill the hole. The farmers pay the State Board of Agriculture about 825,000 a year for the privilege of one delegate from each grunge attending its semiannual meet- logs. The big item of $450,000 for good roads is generally believed to be no. cessary, and the, chances are that the sum will increase from your to year, with the demand for better roads. - The biggest ilitic item which has at tractad attention is the bill of 810.000 for stationcry. including Jack-knives and fountain pens. to the Raiders of the Outstand- III Funding Four Per Cent.
