Halloran of the| iccommodations commiteec, | lis that the has received | no definite information as to price {or dimensions, a real estate .agent | | having given # written promise to | the committee that a verbal option | on the site for $17,000 would be con- | firmed. It was also considered far- ther away from possible develop- | ment and settiement and too near the Newington town line, but the | two tracts were said to be hardly | far enough apart to matter in this | respeet. The Smith-D'Angelo prop- | erty is more eclevated, the Pléasant Manor site being filled-in swamp | land and one of the lowest spots in | the section. On the other hand, sev- | manufacturing concerns and | the New Britain Gas Light Co. own | land near the upper tract, o that| there is-a possibility of undesirable | development, Price Far Above Valuation man Halloran stressed the great difference in price between the | two lots, that of the Smith-D'Angelo ! property being seven times its as- | sessed valuation of $2300 and that | | of the Lincoln Realty Co. tract twice | lits valuation of $11,000, William J. Kerin led the fight| | against the recommendations of the | | committee, saying that the proposed site lacked all the necessary qualifi- | cations for school property, being filled land and being situated on| | East street, a busy street, which may |some day be the main thoroughfare |into the city from the east.

No Change in Transfers, A letter was read from the par- ents of a child recently transferred from the East to the Smith school asking that the girl be allowed to return to her former school. Mrs. Mangan thought it a very reasonable request, for a mother to make, but Superintendent Holmes said that he could make no exceptions except in the caso of crippled children. The transters has been made method- ically and would have to stand if any fairness was to be preserved. The school board voted to express its regrets that it could not comply with the request. A lotter from Principal Louis P. Slade of the senior high school was read, in which he asked ench and Latin be Begun at the of or in the middle of the Bt tart cighth grade instead of in the ninth. | Superintendent Holmes said that the foreign language work in the junior high school was intended to be mostly exploratory, ing the study there to one year re- quired intensive study which did not allow the desired exploration. The letter was referred to the teachers’ committee. Another letter from Mr. Slade was read, asking that M Talcott and a group of girls in the senior high school be eredited present and llowed to attend the Business Show in New York on October 20. girfs would pay their own expenses.

President King {assured the board that the work had. been thoroughly done and the changes were atgpted. REAL ESTATE AN * TAREN FRON AUTO Foiren Fined $126 and Jail Sentence: Is Suspended . | Henry J. Foiren of Berlin was | fined - $125 and costs, and given a | suspended jail sentence of 16 days | when he was found guilty in police | court this morning of operating a | potor vebicle while under the in- uence of liquor yesterday after- noon. He entered a plea of not guilty to the charge through his |attorney, Judge William F. Mangan, Toiren was arrested on Washing- !ton street by Policeman Thomas J. Feeney and Supernumerary Joseph | Hayes after the police noticed his along the street, according to their testimony. The police teld the court |that Foiren staggered when they stopped his machine and ordered [ nim to get out, and that they had to assist him into the police service car to take him to he station. Judge Mangan made a plea to the court to take into consideration the fact that Foiren was a real estate dealer and would loge his license a a rvesult of his arrest,. this being a severe penalty in itself, Broff Family Row Aired Judge Benjamin W. Alling con- tinued the case of Martin Broff, Kel- y street, until Octo 31, to give Probation Officer Edward C. Con- | nolly an settiement of affairs in hom Judge Mangan appeared for Broff d told the court that, after listen- ing to the story of Broff whom he termed as an honest, hard-working | man, he was convinced that the trouble in the Broff home was caus- ed by the family being ashamed of him beca Brofi testificd on the witness stand that his daughter had told him on several occasions - that she was ashamed of him, that he “had a head like a squash.” Judge Alling asked Mrs. Broft if she hasn't been ying to get him to sign the title of their property over to her. She the Broff | hesitated for a moment and then | told the court that she didn’t care| |now, that her husband could have {the propétty it he wanted it. The | court asked her if the husband's re- fusal to sign over the.property had I not been the cause of their trouble. Broft was in court last Saturday morning on complaint of his wife, | the court saying at the time that the | | defendant was as “much sinned against as sinning.” - Broff said that he went to his work immediately af- ter leaving the courtroom and when | he went to his home about 7 o'clock opportunity to attempt a | he is a working man. | that night from work, there was no supper for him, His wife told him that she thought he was in jall, he testified, He sald that his son then started to make trouble, saying that they would make sure.that he went to jail this time. The son took him by the throat and knocked him to the floor, kneellng on him and prod- ding him so that he was confined to bed and unable to appear in court Monday morning, Broff said. After that, the fon took three chalrs and broke them against a door, break- ing the door too, Broff allegea. The defendant admitted that he broke the door of a bedroom try- ing to get in and hide from his son and wife so they could not attack him any more. TInstead of follow- ing him, he sald that they called the police, and told them that he had broken the chairs and doors. SHENANDOAH HELD UP AT SAN DIEGD (Iontinued From First Page) Cammander Lansdowne said that it possible the Shenandoah would depart for the north before noon, but that departure would depend on reconditioning the motors, Makes Fast Time. The Bhenandoah completed her westward flight at 11:40 o'clock, Pa-~ | cific coast time, making the last 100 miles at a speed of more than a mile | a minute atter a battle with hail and snow storms and headwinmds in the 8an Jacinto mountains. Heading directly over the moor- ing mast on North Island, the Shen- andoah’s signal lights flashed “Are | you ready ™" | dy," was flashed back, and mmander lLansdowne swept the G60-foot cruiser to earth and the landing crew of bluejackets leaped to grasp the mooring lines. Puffing on his venerable corncob pipe, Admiral Moffett explained that the arrival had been purposely de- layed because a landing late at night would conserve the helium supply. For that reason the Shenandoah was headed northwest after Yma, Ariz.,, was reached instead of holding straight west, a course that would | have brought the Shenandoah here | before dark. .75 Hours For Trip.

Having battled her way across the | Rocky mountains into the teeth of a eteady wind and driving snow- storm in San Jacinto Pass the dir- igible Shenandoah drew near San Diego after siightly less than 76 hours of actual transcohtinental salling. The start from Lakehurst on the Atlantic coast was made at 10 a. m. Tuesday.. Today's storm caused & delay of eight hours.

All on board were in fur lined electrically heated flylng sults as the ship beg the crossing of the Rocgles, the hardest stretch of the 9,000 mile test oruise, Had Trying Time The last part of the 16000 miles voyage from Fort Worth involved continuous duty for the men and officers with only snatches of sleep. A sudden strom’ caused four thous- and pounds of soggy snow to weigh down the envekioe of the ship. “The ship has arfWed at San Diego on shedule ready for duty with the fleet if necessary and the cruise has been entirely satisfactory as a test of the ship,” sald Lieut. Commander Lansdowne, captain of the Shenandoah, “We are extreme- ly anxious that the Pascific coast should have an opportunity to see the ship and its performance. It is important the Pacific coast have alr base for operation of such craft. A flight across the ocean {s easy compared to one across the Rocky Mountains. Experience of the last few days leads us to belleve that history has been made in crossing of the continent.” Thrilling Sights In the narrow valley lights flick- eréd from the windows, automobiles Ahrew broad flares along the roads and ah occasional headlight from a locomotive stood clear and bright as the Shenandoah entered the pass at White Water. To one standing on the right of the operating gondola hanging be- low the long tube of the ship lights and shadows seemed to be passing only a few feet away and a proces- sion of automobiles could be seen following the ship to the city.
