Several im. portant matters relative to the parks will be acted upon, Legion Members Raise Quarter In the American Legion endow- men drive In this city, the members of the American Legion and the Ameriacn Leglon auxiliary have raised over a quarter of the amount of the quota assigned to this ity among the members of the two or- ganizations, The drive will be com- pleted among the membership be- for it is opened to the public. Who Will Build School? Who is going to bulld a new school building for the Fall Moun- tain school district. That is a ques- tion that seems to be creating great differences of opinion among the various city officlals. When the Fall Mountain school district votérs were unable to get together on the proposition, a large number of the voters of the district petitioned the ity council to step in and build a school house for the district. The city council, at its last meet- ing, gracefully referred the petition to the board of education, inasmueh as the members of the city counefl considered the matter to come un. der the jurisdiction of that board. As a special meeting of the board of education last Friday, the matter was politely referred back to the city council. These two boards have been doing the Alphonse and Gaston act with the result that no real ae- tlon has taken place. To Erect New Tool Shed The old wooden shed in the rear of the property of the city on High- land Court, used by the publle works department, is being razed preparatory to erecting a large new tool shed and building. The new building will be erected with the back of it on the line, thus giving a large aomunt of additional room to the city yard. In the new building will be lo- cated a machine room where re- pairs can be made on the city ma- chinery of the public works depart- ment. There will also be storage room for much of the city's ma- chinery. An appropriation of 85,000 was made for the new building, but in- asmuch as the concrete work, such as the laying of the foundation and the laying of the concrete floors, will be done by the public works department, the amount of money appropriated will go much farther than it otherwise would had 1the contract for the entire building been let to contractors. Corner Cutters Arrested A large number of automobile | drivers were brought into the police station yesterday and this morning for going to the left of the traffic buttons at street intersections These cases were nolled upon pay- ment of costs.

Checking Up Solicitors, The scason for house to house s0s licitors has arrived and the prose- cuting attorney, police department and the Chamber of Commerce are having plenty to do in checking up | the various schemes that are being presented to Bristol householders, Yesterday the police department and the Chamber of Commerce were | very busy checking a request made colored representatives of an or- ganization representing the Daugh- s of Jerusalem and Sister of Mercy, who stated that they repre- sented the Church of God and Saints of Christ, with headquarters at 212 ‘Windsor street, Hartford.
