The theft consisted of $1,900 cash, $150 in Liberty bonds and $50 war savings stamps, and was com- itted, it is alleged, an May 26. The btective bureau has been conducting investigation since that time and bsterday Michael was arrested and ought to the police station. Judge B. F. Gaffney had been re- ined by the accused to defend him what he thought was to be a civil tion, and his counsel was therefore able to proceed with the case to- y.

Sus- ecting his brother he notified the pa- fice and the investigation was started t once. Peter was questioned several imes but denied guilt. His amount bt spending money increased consid- brably about this time, strengthening he suspicions of the police, and as he €fused to admit his guilt he was ar- sted and will be given an opportun- ity of proving his innocence.

An appropriation of $185,000 for the | construction of an addition to the Northend school was asked for last evening by the school board, which appeared before the board of finance and taxation. yor George A. Quig- ley presided. City Treasurer Cham- berlain asserted that it would not be- come necessary to borrow $75,000 as the tax collections are larger than usual and therefore the borrowing was avoided. Tho: present at the meeting were Mayor George A. Quig- ley, F. Chamberlain, Judge B. F. Gaffney, Comptroller H. L. Curtis, A. N. Abbe, L. P. Mangan, Fred Beloin. Plans for Building. Superintendent Holmes and E. C. Goodwin appeared for the school board and presented their plans with an explanation. The development calls for the construction of addition wings on the ends of the present building, which s an eight room structure. The building provides 12 more rooms, an assembly hall and gymnasium. The new part of the building is fireproof and the heating plant will be separated from the pres- ent building. The gymnasium is 30x70 feet and the assembly hall is 30x80 feet. 29 Rooms Short. Gaffney stated that this would relieve the crowded conditions in the schools in the south- ern end of the city. Mr. Goodwin re- ported that following an investigation, the city of New Britain is 29 school rooms short. In reply to Mayor Quig- Superintendent Holmes said the building was ample for a schoal unit. “What other part of the city have you got to build in?” asked Mayor Quigley. “In_the northern part of the city said Mr. Holmes, i “When the Normal school builds in the narthern part of the city what s g0ing to be done with the present asked Mayor Quigley. er was that was too far ahead. City Treasurer Chamberlain inquir- ed if the amount asked ($185,000) would be sufficient. Mr. Goodwin said the fi ures were based on the architect figures, checked up by a reputable builder. 1t it was found that the sum was not sufficient the board wauld have to se- cure an additional appropriation, Detail plans have not been prepared. Judge Gaftney sald that it is necessary to get the appropriation before plans are prepared, because in commission. ing an architect an expense is in- curred. The commission in this case is $10,000. The question was raised as ta what will be done with the children whan this school is being built. “We leave that to Mr. Holmes,” said Mr. Goodwin. Mr. Holmes said that pupils in six- teen school rooms in parts of the city will be an part time in the fall Mayor Quigley asked why the cost of school construction is so much more than other construction. My Beloin said that the builder of the last schaol lost between $10,000 and 5,000 on the contract Mayor Quigley said that if there is a shortage of schools, then another one should be built. Commissioner Humphrey said that New Britain is three years behind in building operations. Mayar Quigley inquired how long it will be before an addition is needed for the high school. Mr. Holmes said that there will be a crowded condition next February, when a new class en- ters. Mayor Quigley said that that was what he heard Wants Building Program. Mayor Quigley asseried that the school board should come out with a building program in concrete form. It cured to him that the building program for immediate needs would draw $320,000. The mayor proposed that schools should be erected and paid for from the general taxation instead of piling up the bonded in- debtness. It was considered advis- ible to have future generations also pay for the schools. The mayor said that it seems to him that the city faces $500,000 to $750,000 in new school buildings in two years. It was also suggested by the mayor that a ‘definite program should be de- cided. He said that the people should know the facts. “I would sooner get a licking if 1 am going to get one, rather than get a slap in the face from day to day,” said the mayor. “No one is to blame for this con- dition. It is due to the government restriction on building. Faces Million Expensc. Judge Gaffney reported that the school board has a building program. There are at the present time 10,000 school children in the city. M. Holmes asserted that the cily faces about $1,000,000 expenditures for schools. Mr. Kehoe stated that there would be less criticism if the plan was laid Authorized. Mr. Goodwin reported that the commmittee has been giving its at- tention to the Northend school addi- tion. The next step taken would be the new school in the northern part of the city and then there will be v addition to the Lincoln street hool. It was asserted by Mr. Chamberlain that schools are being paid for in about ten to fifteen years. Mr. Humphrey said that the past experience indicates that in the next thirty years the population will be 150,000, “If you give us $700,000 this year it will be spent,” said Mr. Goodwin, A resolution to appropriate $185,- 000 was offered. In the opinion of the members it was o question with rapid changes in prices if the build- ing can be built for that amount. It is said that prices have changed since the estimate was given and the build- ing at the present time would prob- ably cost $15,000 more. The amount of the appropriation made was $200,- 000, Will Receive Grant. Superintendent Holmes brought up the matter of special teachers salary grants. It is reported that the city will receive a grant of $22,077 from ate for this ye: The state rd suggests that towns make the payments and it will be reimbursed to the cities by the state. Mayor Quigley did not ‘approve of this idea The teaclers received an increase in their salwry and he did not the idea of the city advancing the money. He said that they could wait. | It was brought out that other cities are advancing the money and if New Britain did not do likewise it will | lose many of its teachers. City Treas- urer Chamberlain inquired when the money would be paid. Mr. Holmes stated that the teache could be d the amount in a lump sum. It was decided to provide for that in the next year's budget and the amount | from the state will be figured as an income. he votes making that record of the hoard were adopted. Loans Authorized. The sale of notes to the amount of $20,000 for the new fire station and fire alarm improvenents was author- ized. 1t is expected that they will | be placed with local bonds.
