A full accounting of the expendi- tures of the school board has been Zecured and is printed in fuil. Due to the criticism of the other evening about the school's finances it w considered advisable to give a capitulation of the expenses for past two years and also a summary of the deficit over which there was such a discussion in the town meeting just passed. The e penditures are given in detail and will be noticed that there is an crease in practically every item ed. Last year $3,000 was appropriated to take care of anticipated increases but this was used up in almost its en- tirety for teachers alone, leaving nothing for the increased costs in ©ther departments. The truth of this statement will be noticed by check- ing over the accounting as given above. The voters of the town have | never seen an accurate account of the expen: as incurred by the school board and it is given herc in order that any further criticism in this regard might be stopped.

According to the report received this morning much of the goods pro- duced at the new plant of the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark concern, will be shipped by trolleys to the main plant in New Britain.
