Mildrum has completed the enumeration of the school children. The reports shows there are eighty more pupils than last year, every school showing an increase in attend- ance except the Worthington and the Seldon schools. The former has lost two names in the enrollment and the latter five. The town is divided into districts, but as no definite lines have been established the work is made exceedingly more difficult for the enu- merator than is necessary. It is hoped that the districts will be mapped ac- curately before the next enumeration, 0 the enumerator’s labor may be lightened. The number of pupils in the different schools for 1914 and the present year are given below. School 1914 Kensington 419 Hubbard ‘Worthington Seldon ......

WHO FORGED SIGNATURES? Lighting Question and Tax Rate Mat- ter Go Over to Future Meectings— Benzon and Prior Have Tilt— Briefs. Successfully completing a drive, started before the election, against the, Bystem of policing = inaugurated last year, the voters at the adjourned annual town meeting last evening re- duced to $200 the appropriation for patrolling the streets, automatically stripping Officer Marino of his po- liceman’s shield and reducing him to the level of a constable. The ousting of the officer from the patrolman's berth occasioned but little surprise | as for days It was generally known that the element dissatisfied with him had arranged to be out in force] to get his scalp. There was no ques- | tion as to their success, the vote | which brings about his removal being 136 to 34. Besides disposing of the police question the voters authorized the se- lectmen to have a survey made of the streets; accepted the reports of the town treasurer and school committee; appropriated $175 for a continuation of the evening school established a year ago; accepted on behalf of the town, the cannon on the soldier’s monument plot in the center, present- ed by Newton Manross Post, G. A. R., tabled until a special meeting to be held not later than December 15th the matter of making a new lighting contract and the acceptance of the se- lectmen’s report, finally adjourning until the second Monday in January, at which time the establishing of a tax rate is to be considered. The meeting was lively while it lasted and feeling exhibited by some of the debaters at times threatend to dvelop into bitter verbal duels. Accusations and intimations were frequently made and the meeting at times assumed the character of a school boy squabble over a game of marbles. It was one of the largest attended sessions held in a long time, probably three hundred voters ap- pearing. I After the session had been called to | order by Moderator A. H. Dresser, M. ic town committee, immediately arose to enter a protest against the count made at the election a week ago. He offered a resolulon instructing the moderator declaring that the superior for another review of the votes. His motion was ruled out of order, the mderator declaring that the superior court only has the power to have a recount. After he had given his rul- ing and his explanation of the stat- utes, Moderator Dresser called E. A. Freeman to the chair (for what pur- pose no one seemed to know). Mr. Freeman expressed views concurring with those of the moderator on the subject and the matter was then dropped without further discussion. When the matter of considering the reports of town officers was taken up P. J. Prior suggested that the report of the selectmen be tabled until the officials had an opportunity to exam- ine it and make a proper statement to the voters regarding the numerous inaccuracies which it contained. He cited several items where the reports of the selectmen and treasurer disa- greed and explained that while he did not question the honesty of the se- lectman, it was apparent that errors in book-keping had mad the report thereon to Michele Pannico and Louls Ttamponi. It is bounded on the north by land of Daniel Renn and Richard Sage, on the east by the highway and on the west by land of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R, and on the south by land of Sidney J. Robey. Daniel Hitchwar has a lease on the property “Dynamite” Jones Busy. E. R. Jones, better known as “Dy- namite’” Jones, is very busy these days blowing up terra firma. Today he is working on the property of C. A. Blair in Maple Hill, Newington. Mr. Jones is digging a ditch 700 feet long with hig nitro glycerine. He is negotia- ting with several farmers in the sur- rounding districts and expects to keep bugy for some time. Sons of Veterans to Meet. W. H. Gibney will entertain the Sons of Veterans at his home Thurs- day evening. This is a regular meet- ing and at its close a fine literary A. Norton, chairman of the democrat- | program will be carried out. The evening will be “Antietem Evening,” and the speaker on the occasion will be Comrade H. L. Porter, who partici- pated in that battle. The committee | has also arranged a vocal and instru- mental program for the evening. Briefs. Henry Austin has severed his con- nection with E. E. Austin and has en- tered the employ of the American Paper Goods company in the capa- city of night watchman.

Rneuma the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co., and all druggists at 50 cents a bottle, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other remedies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidn.ys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: “I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recom- mend it as a ramedy for all forms of rhe .matism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheu- matism, and altogether different In composition irom the remedies usual- 1y prescribed.” This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence in trying Rheuma. The Rheuma Co. guarantee it. Don’t cont to suffer from stom- ach distresses. TUse Rhe-Lax. It works quickly and heals the intes- tines at the same time.

G. Osborne read a statement from the auditors in which they explained their inability to put an “O. K.” on the reports. , The books of the se- lectmen, the statement read, were not turned over to them until September 7th and they were not able to audit them fully. The bank book and the treasurer’s report disagreed, a fact due, they believed, to the difference in the time the accounts were closed, the treasurer making no entries after August 15, the close of the fiscal year, while the selectmen had evidently drawn orders on the treasury several days later, dating them back. The auditors argued that the method in closing the books is incorrect and must be remedied if a proper in- spection of the accounts is to be made at the end of the year. Numerous errors were found, they explained, and corrections could have been made had ample time been given for an in- vestigation. The motion to table the report un- til a special town meeting to be held in the near future was subsequently carried. The reports of Treasurer Hird and the school committee were accepted without discussion. First Selectman W. J. Johnson told the voters that the contract for street lighting will expire on Janu- ary 1. Moderator Dresser read peti- tions for five new lights on Farming- ton avenue; seven in Mountain View; one of Pearl street, three on Wash- ington; two on Camp and one on Fairbanks street. Replying to a question from John Larson, Mr. John- son said the town is now paying at the rate of $20 a year for each incan- descent. Individual pleas for lights on the different streets were made by the men interested in the petitions. No action on the petitions was ta- ken. George A, Case introduced a resolution that the selectmen be em- powered to renew the contract with the United Electric Light and Water company. Postmaster Prior object- ed, stating that the lighting ques- tion is bound to start another squab- ble. He Introduced a substitute mo- tion instructing the selectmen to get an estimate from the company on the charge that will be made for the lights now in use and twenty-five ad- ditional incandescents under a five year contract, reporting on the same at a special meeting to be held not later than December 15th. His sug- gestion was adopted, On motion of A. H. Condell the matter of laying a town tax was put over until the second Monday in January, at which time, the sponsor of the resolution explained the voters will be able to consider the question intelligently as estimates on the re- ceipts and expenditures will then be available. L. H. Mills and A. L. Rogers, rep- resenting the school board, reported that in their opinion the night school established last year was a success and should be continued this winter. They had spent but $87.25 out of the $150 apropriation which had been made. This year they thought $175 would cover the expenses, the school board intending to have forty-eight sessions instead of twenty-four. A great deal had been done for the non- English speaking residents at the school and the school committeemen thought the pupils were appreciative of what advantages the town had put in their way. One of the pupils, a young Italian, gave a brief address in which he ex- pressed his thanks for what the school had done for him. A year agc he eat it with perfect safety and enjoyment. It’s as pureasit’s delicious. The relish with the fresh tomato flavor. One of the 57, and artistically.

His remarks testi- fled to the progress he had made since the school was established. H. A. Castle also made a plea for the continuance of the school. The $175 appropriation was then made, Permission to have a survey m-'de of the streets was given the select- men after it had been explained that the demands for street lines are so numerous that the town can well af- employing an engineer every few weeks to locatc the boundaries of cer- tain properties. The feature of the meeting, the po- lice question, was then taken up. Two read by the moderator. The first au- thorized an appropriation of $1,000 for policing the streets, but pre- cedence was given to the other, in- troduced by Mr. Prior, and limiting the expense to $200, as it was the 3rst to be seconded. In explaining his resolution, Mr. Prior said that a year ago it became necessary to have a metropolitan po- lice force, owing to the sudden In- flux of thirsty Bristolites. Now Bristol has decided to drink at home,"” he said, “and we again become a town requiring nothing better than con- stable service.” He thought a rogu- lar policeman would not be needed during the coming year and that $200 would be ample to adequately police the streets. He remarks led to an in- quiry from F. L. Benzon regarding the amount spent for policing in 1911, the last year a $200 appropriation was made. Mr. Prior said he d.dn’t know, but he assumed that the select- men had carried out the wishes of the voters. Otherwise they should be cen- sured. Mr. Benzon pressed his ques- tions, resulting in Mr. Prior's retert that “your father-in-law was first se- lJectman at the time and he is nows dead, so we can’t criticise him.” The remark brought loud guffaws from the rear of the hall. Mr. Benzon be- came incensed and he prote-ted against the discourtesies, characteriz- ing the crowd that laughed as “a bunch of dubs.” He was followad by Edward Aspinall, who criticised the “rummies,” as he called them, for being disrespectful to speakers who were not harboring concurring opin- ions. His protest brought Willlam Foran to his feet. He declared that as Ben- zon and Aspinall could find no more fitting appelations than “dubs” and “rummies” they were entitled to nol better consideration than they had been given. Storm clouds began to gather -ut they disappeared when Mr. Larson called on the chair to insist on the elimination of personalities and the restoration of order. A rising vote on Mr. Prior's reso- lution was hten called for, H. A. Castle, John B. Minor and F. G. Os- borne serving as counters. Favor- able action was taken by a large ma- jority. Selectmen Johnson and Hart were among those favoring the reso- lution. Selectman Calor did not vote. Mr. Benzon rose to talk on a‘ques- ford to have a map made, instead nf: resolutions regarding the matter were | was an argument between and Mr. Benzon over the i the former's statement but halted by Mr, Larson’s point der.

An item in which is charged for the “Gnazszo™ tion of personal privilege. He called attention to the fact that although his name and that of Mr. Osborne, the other auditor, appeared on th: re- lectmen’s report, neither of them had signed it. He explained that a proper recapitulation had never been given them and for that reason he could not “0. K.” it. He wanted to know who took the liberties with his signature. Selectman Johnson denied knowing anything about the matter. He said his clerk, George S. Babcock, bad taken the report to the printers, but ke couldn’t say positively that he was responsible for the appearance of the signatures of the auditors. Mr, Prior interrupted to explain that a few years ago his name as a selectman had appeared on an an- nual report without his knowledge or consent and when he asked to have it withdrawn, Mr. Benzon was among those who objected. He thought what was sauce for the goose was good enough for the gander, There It was the Genaro funeral, tl penses of which were paid town.
