Alford S. H. Holmes, W. L. Hatch, Frank | Riley, A. J. Hart and City Engineer | W. H. Hall. Before any business was | transacted there was a lively discus- sion among the members concerning | ibility that most of the boards iind in their appropria- Representing the school board, W. L. Hatch advocated the city purchas- ing the Boyle property adjacent to the Prevocational Grammar school. The price asked is $4.500 but in the ovinion of the members this is $500 too much, but inasmuch as it is neces- sary to have the property to protect the school there could be no argu ment unless it was decided to have condemnation proceedings. Mr. Hatch also explained a plan whereby the city could purchase the property north of the Camp school for about $70,000 for the election of a school. The state has submitted a proposition where the city and state should bear the expense, the city’s share not to exceed $50,000. Principal Marcus White explained the plans for the new proposed school building which would contain six rooms, a gymnasium and assembly hall. On motion of Mr. Humphrey both plans werg fa- vored and it was voted to ask for $55,000. Even though the property should be bought soon, there is nq reason to think the school would be erected immediately_as the state as well as the city must curtail expenses, it was explainer. Chairman Frank Riley and Super- intendent A. J. Hart of the charity department explained that the depart- ment has only about $6.000 on hand to last until April and .as the cost of the dairy barn at the town farm is considerably more than was antici- pated more money Is needed. The city appropriated §5,600 for the barn and already about $15,000 has been spent. Mr. Humphrey rallied to the ' defense of the health board and pro- tested that the barn is the best in the state. It was also explained inasmuch as the department has about $6,000 on hand only about §4,000 more will be needed to last the fiscal year out, end this is not nceded immediately. | This will be the first year since 1907, | it was stated, that the health depart- ment has been unable to return money to the city treasury. A. M. Paonessa offered to pay: $200 for a small triangular strip of land at the junction of Stanley street and Hartford avenue, adjacent to his gar- age. The matter was referred to the board of public works. For the farm committee, Mr. Al- ford asked $4,000 and read reports : showing the finagcial condition of the committee and also showing that there will be a steady income for the city as the potatoes are sold. Already upwards of $2,000 in receipts are on the committee’s books. In order to meet these demands the committee voted, after considerable difference of opinion, to levy a special tax of one-half a mill. In reference Stanley Works, and Mrs. Donato Ded- avior, charged with stealing 65 pounds of brass from the Stanley Works, pleaded not guilty before Judge James | 1. Meskill in police court today.

The Scouts un- the direction of Scoutmaster appeared for the defendants, stated that Tuesday was agrecable to him. Bonds were fixed at $100. it was explained. A minimum fine of $10 and costs was imposed upon Victor Malinowski charged with violating the liquor laws on November 24. Liquor Prosecuting Attorney B. W. Alling stated that on November 24 a group of boys were in Malinowski's pool room at 91 Broad street when a | collection was taken up and the pro- prietor went to a nearby drug store and purchased one-half pint of whiskey and a pint of port wine for the’ boys. Attorney McDonough appeared for Malinowski, who pleaded guilty, and stated that his client had been in but three weeks and _that during his business career on Broad street he had fared very badly. He stated thnt Malinowski has since sold his business. On last Saturday Malinowski ap- | peared in court charged with allow- ing minors to frequent his poolroom and conducting a resort for gambling. He was fired $25 and costs on each count on that occasion. Judgment was suspended on the payment of the costs in the case of Walter P. Crabtree charged with as- saulting Frank Lawrance on the even- ing of December 4 in front of Crow- ell's drug store on West Main street. Attorney McDonugh appeared for Crabtrec who pleaded guilty and stat- jed that the assault was the result of | words between two crowds, one which | belonged to the Moose club and the {other to the High School A. D. S. so- | ciety. Crabtree, who is just out of ischool, was told by the judge that he should have known more than to get into horse play. Tony Dimvisavick charged with non-support was let go upon his promise to get a job and take care of his family. His wife testified that they had two children and that her hus- band had not labored for a period of four weeks. She stated that he was sick four weeks previous to that time and that he was unable to get his position back at the New Britain Ma- { chine company when he recovered. “I am willing to support her,” said Tony. “Gé to work or go to jail” iwas Judge Meskill's warning. Frederick H. Crandall was fined $3 without costs for allowing his auto to stand over 40 minutes in the re stricted district. He pleaded guilty. UARD PLANTS. N.

The people of New Britain are entering into the spirit of tae celebration with enth.- siasm, arnd are showing a splendid spirit of co-operation in receiving ths Scouts into their homes and respond- ing to the appeal to display the flags. By Monday the captains will com- mence going through the streets to visit the stray homes failing to dis- play the Red Cross emblems, and every patriotic citlzen is expected to do his duty. Every street in New Britain should be on the honor roll at Central Park. The merchants are deserving praise for the assistance they are giv- ing the campaign. Besse-Leland and the Dickinson Drug Co. happened to | be the first to get the service iags, and both stores show the flag with 17 crosses and the gilt star indicat- ing the whole working force 1s en- rolled. B. C, Porter Sons and the Globe Clothing House also responded immediately, and others up and down the street have either done the'r it or are making haste to do it just as soon as they are approached. Mavor George A. Quigley and Chief of Police Willlam J. Rawlings are among the heads of families who arc displaying the flag with the star, and 1ie mayor was so impressed with the Red Cross Christmas celebration plans tnat he immediately put his official O. K. on ihe petition to put the honor roll on Central Park. The Connedti- cut Light and Fower Co. is one of the most aggressive corporations in pushing the campaign and has given its show windows to a public'ty dis- play. The Girl Scouts have volunteered to assist in distributing the service flags, and the Boy Scouts will have to hustle to keep ahead of their patriotic sis- ters. Many people are not waiting for the flags to be brought to them but are securing them from the Red Cross headquarters on Court street and thus facilitating the work of the Scouts. These flags may also be secured at the Y. M. C. A. and the Connecticut Light and Power Co. Much of the success of the campaign depends on getting these flags out at once, and the im- portance of this point cannot be over- estimated. Chairman H. V. Camp of the public- ity committee has appointed the fol- lowing members to serve on the com- mittee: Superintendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes,” Principal Marcus White of the State Normal school, Rev. John T. Winters of 8t. Mary's Paro- chial school, Principal Anthony An- drulewicz of the Sacred Heart school, Rev. E. V. Grikis of St. Andrew's Lithuanian school, Rev. J. L. Sullivan of St. Joseph’s Parochial school, Prol- tessor Louis Wagner of St. Matthew’s ot | | Parochial school, Thomas J.

McMahon of Keeney's theater, Manager Serving McDonald of | Fox's theater and Manager George | Hallaby of the Scenic theater. | Superintendent of Schools Holmes lhu kindly agreed to render any as- sistance possible in the campalgn by securing the co-operation of the teach- ors, many of whom are already Red Cross members, and in reaching the homes through the children. Tt is | proposed to have some special slides made for the moving picture houses | to advertise the campaign. The Y. W. ! C. A. has just set an example in go- |ing over the top in their campaign { with $2,000 to boot, and New Britain {should exceed the Red Cross cam- | paign limit to a round 25,000 member- | ship. " POLISH PEOPLE GRATEFUL Although It is Impossible to Raisc Entire Fund in Few Days Allotted, Committee is Optimistic, The Polish War Victims Reliet com- mittee is pleased to announce that, thus far, the result of the campaign for raising funds for relief work is most gratifying. While it is hoped ;0 establish a fund of $60,000 wita which to care for the wounded udl- diors of the Polish Army and their devendents, it must be admitted that it wil] be practically impossible to a<- complish this end in the short time allotted to this purpose, by th.: house to nhouse canvass which ends Monday night, Décember 10. Contribuilons in th.s cause will, however, be gladly received by Rev. Lucyvan Bojnowshi. pastor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus cnurch and treasurer of the Poiish War Victims Rellef committee, a. any time hereafter and the commit- tee hopes at some future date to be able to announce to people of New Britain that the sum sought has been reached. In the meantime, however, the mittee is delighted with the cordial way in which the canvassers have been received in the homes of the neople of New Britain and at the recady response made to their apneai. | The results of the first three days of the campaign are: Tuesday, $i.- 721.80; Wednesday, $2,424.30; Thurs- day, $1,203.20; total, $5,349.30. com- XMAS BN (Kitchen w Ware || S USEFUL GIFTS AT MILLS - HARDWARE Hardware 336Main Street Per Inch, Per Dollar, Per Day’s listed in the Aviation America. | ee-ga Wear HORSFALL CLOTHES Are the Topmost Intrinsic Value in America This season, when Woolens have en- Corps of’ Commeroei making new altitude records, thoughtfu men are looking behind the product at the institution which stands sponsor for it.
