' FAVOR CONNOR CO. $139,350 Is Approved After a careful study of the plans presented .by the two lowest of 10 contractors for the construction of the new Clinton street school, the school accommodations committec speclal mecting yesterday after- noon voted to recommend to the school committee the choice of M. A. Connors Co. of Hartford as the! contractor. This company bid $139,- The committee also decided upon L. and M. A. Fierberg of Hart- ford. for the plumbing contract and 10 ask for new bids on the electrical and heating contracts. The contracts for the latter two will probably be taken care of with- | in a week and the committee will ommend the concerns for each of four contracts at the May meet- ing of the school board. The original bid of the Connors Co. was for $136,500 but two alter- native bids, one for $2 500 and an- other for $50, brought the total to $139,350. The second lowest bid rom Loucks & Clark company of Wallingford was for $42,619. An alternative bid for $150 re- duced the bid of the J. L. & M. A. Fierberg company from $7,988 to $1,530, The Curtis Electric Co. of Hart- ford and F. A. Shaffer Co. of Bristol were the lowest bidders for electri- cal and heating and since the com- mittee had reserved the right to re- ect all bids it decided that a lower figure might be reached it new bids were called for. The M. A. Connor Co. was the general contractor in the construc~ tion of the Roosevelt school and the Nathan Hale Junior High school ad dition. Warren Holmes is the archi- tect of the Clinton school. The building will be a 12 room fireproof construetion. It will be built along the lines of the Loher J. Vance school on Vance stre which is a new innovation in con- struction in this city.

Germany's policy of neutrality has ulted in a great gain in political e and German merchants in 1 have reaped a harvest of busi- |ch ness as a r It of a native feeling against the other powers, it is felt hcre, “Perplexitfes which face other powers because of the common dee sire of all Chinese groups for eman- 1| ned under the wreckage and their |cipation from the ‘unequal treaties’ an | do not affcct Germany because she already has cancelled those treaties,” Stresemann said, “But Germany, no less than the so-called protocol pow- crs, i3 interested in the restoration of peaceful conditions essential to trade and commerce with Cuuna. Refers to Coolidge. “If 1 am correct, there is no pvower which is not inclined to meet legitimate demands n China. In this connection, I need only refer to President Coolidge's dectaration (be- fore the United Press Association ainner in New York), disclosing real pathy for China, and the British government’s negotiation with both ‘nur‘)v and south Chines: govern- {ments granting administrative pow- jrs to Chinese authorities in certain settloments Policy Does Not Confiict. “Thus the Germa policy in no way contlicts with the attitude of other powers.

The majority of German citizens approve the policy, and German merchants have helped by agreeing voluntarily not to transport arms to any Chinese faction, he said. “Germany 1s pusuing no special {interests in China,’” Stresemann cone | eluded. rmany is ready to sup- port all efforts in China and else | where toward peaceful settlement of cconomic and political situation: City_ltems Mis Margarct Virginia Goodwin |has returned from Atlantic City where she spent a week with her aunt, Miss Anastasia Nugent of | Brookiyn, N.
