Allen and company for $12,704. This figure was the lowest 1bmitted and the commissioners chose this concern from a list of six bidders. Wireproof staircases and fireproof partitions at the High school building will be in- cluded in the work, which will start immediately. Those Who Bid. William H. Allen and Company- High school, $10,295.60; Bartlett school, $1,912.50; Lincoln Street school, $495.90.

Total, $16,905. A. D. Clifford and Company—Bid on the entire contract, $15,000. George 'W. Traut read the figures to the commissioners and said that since the bid of the Allen company was the lowest, the finance commit- tee, through him, would recommend that the contract be awarded to that concern, and, without any opposition, the contract was awarded. The meet- ing -was called expressly for the pur- pose of awarding the contract and, though no other work was scheduled on the calendar, there was consider- able discussion as to the progress of the plans for a new school in the city. Three School Sites. E. C. Goodwin, who appeared before the board of finance and taxation on Tuesday night, spoke for the school committee, stating that there are three pieces of property under con- sideration as possible sites. The lo- cation for a new school in the north- ern part of the city has been chosen, 'but on which of the three sites it will be erected, Mr. Goodwin could not say. An option is held by the school committee on one of the properties, and a complicated condition of af- fairs is being cleared up in connec- tion with another property, with a final decision pending on the outcome of that mixup. May Retain Bartlett. The question of what is to be done with the Bartlett school when the new school is constructed was then brought up by Mr. Andrulewicz. He added that he had been told that different persons have been approached on the subject of purchasing the Bartlett building. The fact that there is a shortage of rooms in the different schools about the city, Judge B. F. Gaffney stated that there is every rea- son to believe the Bartlett school building will be continued as a school. The board of finance and taxation is the only body authorized to discuss school, and that board as yet has not brought about any discussion. Nceds New High School. The fact that the population of many of the cities and towns about the state has increased tremendously dur- ing the past two years, every city in the state is up against the same situa- tion as New Britain, Mr. Gaffney said. Hartford, Bristol, New Haven, South- ington and practically every other city and town with any sort of exten- sive school system, is behind in its school accommodations. Chairman Goodwin of the school committee said that estimating 36 pupils to every room, New Britain is 29 rooms behind, instead of 16 as was reported by Su- perintendent Holmes. That means that there should be accommodations for 1,084 more pupils than are now comfortably cared for. Judge Gaffney reported that a new High school eventually will have to he crected. ThoSe present at yesterday’s session were Chairman B. F. Gaffney, Super- intendant $. H. Holmes and Commi sioners Edward M. Pratt, George W. Traut, Herbert H. Pease, Frank G. Vibberts, A. S. Andrulewicz, Henry P. Roche, Joseph M. Halloran Goodwin. MUST MAFK Collector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh calls attention to the fact that all corporations organized within the year ending June 30th, 1919 are required to file a capital stock tax, in accordance with Article 651 of Regulations 50.

Tiffany, T. 3 representing the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph com- pany, held a conference yesterday with Superintendent Cooley of the electrical department and members of the board of fire commissioners in re- gards to the outside equipment re- quired at the next board meeting and reports will be read at the next council meeting in August.

NEW SOUTHWEST FIRE STATION WILL BE MODERN STRUCTURE The new Southwest fire station, which will probably be located on Kensington street, opposite Andrews street, will be commanded by Captain William Watts and will be equipped with a combination chemical and a hose cart, both motor driven vehicles. Work on the new fire house will be started as soon as possible and the price is estimated by the fire commis- sioners to be in the neighborhood of RUBBISH FIRE BURNS NEARLY FOUR HOURS Damages in Tafayette Street Block | Principally From Smoke— ! Fireman Overcome. While patrolling his beat. which brings him in the vicinity of Lafay- ette street, at about 11:30 last night Officer Willlam P. McCue noticed smoke coming from the main entrance to the block at 22-25 Lafayette strect. The policeman investigated and faund it to be coming from a fire under the staircase and he rang an alarm through box 42. Although the mater- fal damages from the fire were not great, perhaps not exceeding $100, the difficulty of getting in a position from which a stream of water could be played on the fire caused the depart- ment to be on the job nearly four hours before the recall was rung in. The block is owned by the Miller & Morris Co. and is occupied by about ten families. The ground floor con- tains the stores of Stanley the Tailor, the Sheinman Furniture company and A. Tuttle’s saloon. None of these es- tablishments suffered losses as the fire was confined to the staircase at the main entrance. A considerable amount of old clothing and rubbish carelessly thrown about the base of the staircase was the cause of the greater part of the smoke. The people living in the block were forced to leave their apar ments by smoke and remained out all night. While making an attempt to get a line of hose where it would be most effective, Captain George Hoffman ventured into the smoke infested base of the staircase and emerged several minutes almost overcome by the ef- fects of the smoke. He was unable to return ta fight the fire NEAR BEER SEEMS TO HAVE BIG KICK Joscph Decgan Gets Drunk Thri Succession on It, Police Tell Court, That some near-beer beer was proved in police court this morning when Joseph Deegan, charged with drunkenness, stated that he acquired his “load” by drinking | that beverage.

MILLS 336 MAIN ST. FOREIGNERS RETURNING Many Apply For Bookings and Rea- sons Are Given As Desire to Sece Friends, Prohibition and Labor. Another exodus of foreigners to their native land is expected from this city and it is probable that the number returning to Italy, Russia and the other countries of Europe will be even larger than in the groups going di- rectly after the cessation of hostili- ties. A. S.

Other banka have not been affected materially, their officers say, and do not expect to have many instances of withdrawal for this reason The desire of local foreigners to see their relatives and friends has been given as the chief reason for the num ber of applications for bookings this not the only for leaving.
