With all the rooms in the schools crowded to capacity and with the at- tendance increasing each month, ac- tion will be taken by the members of the school board at the next meeting for providing better accommodations for the pupils. It is possible that an #Maitlon will have to be bullt to the Kensington Grammar school to solve the problem. S. M. Cowles, a member of the school board in discussing the situa- tion this morning, said that every room was overcrowded. The instruc- tars were teaching an average of 45 to 50 pupils. At the present time a room in the basement of the Kensing- ton Grammar school was being used for teaching purposes. Mr. Cowles stated that the problem could be solved by making an addition to the Kensington Grammar school. This he said would result In four more class TOOME. It has also been suggested to re- " olaim the old ledge school. This build- Ing has not héen used in years and it |s sald that parents would odbject to having their children attend school in such a structure, since tho modernly equipped Kensington Grammar school is but a short distance away. With the addition of more rooms the town would entail the expense of there has been an Increase of attend- 'selzed in the rald last week at the ance of 90 children since last year. A comparison of the attendance in the various schools for 1916 and 1917 has been made by Mr. Mildrum as follows: School 1917 1916 Selden . ... ) 61 Blue Hills . 51 South . 45 Percival ... 63 Hubbard . 140 Kensington .. 524 Worthington 90 . 48 556 s 147 607 99 Total Leon ToClai The funeral of l.con lair, who | dled Friday night at his late home on | Iudson strect, was held this mornin from St. Paul's church, Kensington at 9 o'clock. A requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. J. C. Brennan. In- terment was i New Catholic ceme- tery, New Britaln. The pall bearers were Peter McGee, James Brown, Wil- liam D. Dunham, Henry L. Porter, C. H. Miller and C. M. Weldon. Disturber Fined. Angry because a scale in the Berlin railroad station would not record his weight after he had deposited a cent, Denibro Bolous of Kensington, an em- ploye of the Prentice Mfg. Co., created a scene In the waiting room Saturday night. He used profane language and finally ended his remarks by attempt- ing to demolish the machine. Constable John J. Hdckett and Of- ficer William J. Ritchie were notifled of the disturbance. When Denibro !percehvnd the officers approaching, he i rushed over to Constable Hackett and ! requested that he be handcuffed. He was obliged, and placed in a machine and taken to the town lockup. Upon {arriving at the lockup, Denibro | pleased with the automobile ride, de- | sired to continue the spin. Forco was | necessary to remove the man from the car. In court this morning Denibro was insolent throughout the court pro- ceedings. He was found gullty by Judge George G. Griswold on the charge of intoxication and breach of the peace. He was fined $3 on the first charge and $5 on the second count with costs totaling $24.50. When sentence was pronounced Denibro excitedly proclaimed that he would never pay the fine. He was told by Judge Griswold that he had his choice between paying his assess- #/ing for the services of a supervisor. At present this item is met by the state but as soon as any town has over 51 class rooms it must pay the salary of the supcrintendent. The number of rooms here almost reach this mark "&'repm made by School Enumera- tor Ernest W.

Although Officer Marino could not be communicated with this mogming because of his absence from town, it was reported that he has recelved a letter from Commissioner of Do- mestic Animals J. M. Whittlesey at | Hartford to the effect that unless he enforces the regulations promulgated some time ago dealing with dogs be- | ing tied up on the owner's property and allowed on the streets only when led on a leash of a certain length, he is liable to arrest and fine. It is said that this letter is the out- come of a complaint made several days ago to the selectmen of the town that a number of canines were | alowed on the street unmuzzled and not under leash. The rumor could not be verified. Since the law relating to the activi- ties of canines in this town went into effect, Officer Marino has captured a large number of the four-footed ani- mals. These animals have all been killed and it is thought materially lessened the possibilities of an out- break of rabies. 1t is probable that from now the enforcement of the commissioner’s ruling will be more closely complied with. Dogs are not supposed to fre- | quent the streets unless they are led | by a leash. It is not necessary that they be muzzled. To Sell Thrift Stamps. Thrift stamps will be sold, starting today, at the local post office. Later it is thought that they will be placed on sale at banks, stares, offices and many other places. Thrift stamps are issued in denomi-+ nations of 25 cents. When the first stamp is purchased a thrift card is given out on which there are spaces for 16 25-cent stamps, totalling $4. When the thrift card is filled it may be exchanged for a war savings stamp on the payment of 12 cents ad- ditional during December and Janu- ary. In February the additional charge will bs.13 cents, and- ane cént each month will be added to the price. The war savin stamps, in turn, pasted on savings certifi- hich has space for stamps > face value of each $4.12 stamp is E This $5 will be paid by the go ernment to the holder on January 1, 19 The difference between the $4.12 and the $5 represents accrued interest at the rate of four per cent., compounded quarterly, paid by the government. The work will be carried on through the State Cauncil of De- fense and it will probably be taken up by the local council. Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York and chairman of the National War Savings commit- tee, will speak at Foot Guard hall, in Hartford, Wednesday. Plainville will be represented by Stanley S. Gwillim, chairman of the local committee of the State Council of Defense. Three Drunks Arrested. Plainville may be a dry town but it scems as though a large majority of those who get their ‘jag in other neighboring towns come here to have their celebration. During the past week no less that seven men, accused of breach of the peace and intoxication, have been arraigned in local court. Yesterday Judge A. H. Condell and Grand Juror Stanley S. Gwillim sat on three cases of this nature. The men were questioned closcly as to where they received the intoxicants. Two of them admitted that they had imbibed rather freely in New Britain while the other said that he had lin- gered a little longer than usual over the flowing bowl in Bristol. An umbrella mender, one of the men arrested, proved to be disagree- able and not at all particular of the brand of language which he used in addressing the officer. He was con- sequently given 30 days in the Seyms street institution in Hartford. The others were more civil and ap- parently were not confirmed drunk- ards. They were flned $1 and costs and $7 and costs; given a warning and liberated. Officer Marino took the umbrella mender to Hartford this morning. The men were arrested Sunday morning by Constable Marino shortly | after they ‘‘blew” into town in a strikingly hilarious condition. Before beink taken into custody each man ' was given the privilege of leaving | town double quick but they voiced a desgire to stay and were accommo- dated. First Skating of the Ycar. The biting cold snap which has pre- vailed for the past several days driv- ing the mercury down to nearly zero provided the first good skating of the vear yesterday.
