Corroboration of this fact was obtained from Superintendent of School B. R. Showalter who says that| conditions in every other school in| town are normal, with the exception of the Blue Hills school. According| to reports, the location of the school| is a disgrace to the town and a grave| meénace to the health of the chiiiren| who attend the institution. The | school is loeated in a hollow #nd is| entirely bordered by low ap land which is coneldered a lLireeding place | ‘of forcés opposing good health con- ditions. Some efforts have been made to have the town purchase the property surrounding the school, in orier that the swamp land could be filled in and conditions improved. All actien in this line has falled, and it 1s con-| sidered improbable that the town would appropriate a gum of money necessary to cover this expense. Ac-! cording to a statement made by tne superintendent this morning, the pur-| chase price could not he very hig and the procf against dise: which | the purchase of the land would mean, | would more than compensaie tor the| expense to the town.

Rumors | had been spreading about town that the meeting would take the form of | one of indignation and that the com- | mittee members would find a host of | to decry | supposedly lax conditions existing in | the local high school. The rumors did ! not bear fruit and there were present | only members of the school board and | the superintendent. Letters, stating| the exact conditions of the schools, | were forwarded to those people in town who are known to head the op- position. These letters, it was under- | stood, were explanatory in nature and | would relieve any doubt which par- | ents mights have as to the nature| of conditions in the high school. i The superintendent read his annual report to the committee and included | in it a statemnent of present day activ- | ities in the various schools. The re- port was accepted. The budget as pre- pared and recomimended at a special meeting last Saturday was presented to be submitted to the town's finance board tor approval. Due to expenses incumbent with the increase in en- rollment, the budget this year will be larger than that of the past seasoun. The building committee reported that the summer's work, every building with tae exception o1 the Ledge school, has been puinted | and renovated throughout witnin the past two years. Extensive alteraticiis have been made in some of the buiid- ings in conformity with up-to-date school standards. ‘The Blue Hilis school alone is unsutistactory because of its location. No ¢ Overtime on Tuition The school board reaffirmed its stand on the question of payment ot tuition for pupils attending neighbor- ing schoois. It wuas voted that the town would pay tuition ror four years | only for any local student attending an out of town high school. It pupuis fail to pass onc year and have to re- main in school five years, the burden of the extra year will have to be borne personally, as the four year limit will not permit of payment of the extra tuition. No post graduate cou Le permitted in New Britain o where at the expense of the town.

Shepard, town tree warden, has decreed that the big tree | near the American Paper Goods plant, which has impeded the work of Jaying the water main in that section, shall remain standing. His decision followed a hearing on the matter last night in the library when the officials of the Paper Goods Co. favoered letting the tree stand and other citizens op- posed it. Mr. Shepard after hearing not hurt the tree to cut into its roots several inches to permit the laying of the main. It was reported that this could be done without turning the course of the main out into the high- way. The engineers in charge of the work, are reported to have stated that this is not satisfactory and that a bend in the line will have to be made. Just what action will be taken now, is not reported.

Speaking of his nomination this morning, Mr. Conlon said: *I didn't know they named me last night, until today; but I am, nevertheless, willing to accept the nomination and will serve the pcople to the best of my abhility if elected at the polls.” The other constables nominated were: Thomas Royce and Andrew Hogan, both being members of the force now, and Raymond H.
