BOSST LIS HAS [ REAL QUET SUNDAY Atiends Religious Services Dur- ing First Woek-End in Jail 8alem, Mass, Oct. 8 (UP)—Silent and apathetic, Andrew J. “Bossy” Gillls, mayor of Newburyport, spent his first Sunday in jail attending Balvation Army services, eating ap- ples and peaches, and conferring with hig mayoral pinch-hitter. “Bossy,” serving the initial week of a twe months sentence imposed for ped3ling petrol without a permit. was not obliged under jail rules to | attend the spiritual services. But he chose to go to the chapel along with the fellow prisoners and remained until the last note of doxology had ! echoed through the grey walls. Eats Apples Back in his cell he found the Sun- day newspapers, half a peck of ap- ples and & dozen peaches which he had ordered. The mayor, robbed of his native fire, vigor and enthus- asm by his incarceration, was reclin- ing quietly on his cot, persuing the papers and devouring the fruit, when Edward P. Bass, acting mayor of Newburyport, arrived. As nonchalantly as though he ‘were In his office, “Bossy” went into conference with his visitor and for an hour they discussed official busi- ness. After Bass had left, “Bossy” went to the dining hall for his noon meal and then returned to his apples, ayor, a little later, was en- Yoying a siesta when two Newbury- port friends called. ‘Won't See “Friends” “Two gentlemen—friends of yours ~~to see you,” a guard announced. “Bosay” blinked and was thought- ful. “Tell 'em to go to Hell,” he or- @ored at length, The visitors, somewhat crestfallen, left the jail.

Why not dispense with them and let the individ King's Letser Mr. King's lotter follows: “Mr. Edward F. Hall, Chairman, “Board of Finance and Taxation, “New Britain, Conn, “Dear Mr. Hall: “Acting in conformity with the vote of the New Britain school decide mat- ing, Jam again requesting that your board arrange to give the school committee a hearing upon the sub- | ject of additional high school ac- commodations. “I have noted the points made in vour letter of September 20 namely, that the mayor desires to make a | survey and that his committee will be able to report soon, that he will be unwilling to approve our pro- gram until he gets this report, that you must certify as to the legality of bond issues that the mayor has approved and that in your opinion it is futile to give a hearing at this time, “I do not wish to’ take exception to any of these points except the tast. All T am asking is that the school committee be permitted to board of | finance and t: ion, There can be as much investigation thereafter as may be thought necessary. We shall be glad to co-operate in any way for the enlightenment of citi- s on this subject. As a matter of fact, I suggested to the mayor some months back that we hold a joint meeting of the mayor, the common council, board of finance and taxation, and the school com- mittee and that everybody be given an opportunity to inquire into the whole situation. “Apparently, he felt he could place more confidence in the judg- ment of a special committee ap- pointed by him than in these three different bodies combined and ac- cordingly, he appointed & commit- tee of fourteen. This committee approved the program submitted by the school committee and now an- other committee selected by the mayor is investigating, which is quite all right, and he can withhold his decision until such time as the present committee or further com- mittees shall satisfy him regarding the poirts upon which he may be in doubt. “The school committee at the present time is also getting, through the experts furnished by the state board of education, a general sur- vey on school housing needs. We shall be glad to have the mayor make use of this when it is ready, but aside from all that, the school committee after long study is satis- fied that it has a proper solution for meeting the present intolerable housing situation at the high school and it merely wishes to put the matter before your board, “I believe it is true that if twelve citizens of New Britain were to peti- tion the park board, or the fire board, or the police board, for a hearing on any subject proper to come before these boards, that euch a hearing would be granted, BOYS' “In this case you have twelve citizens elected by the people of New Britain te act for them in studying school needs and recommending what should be done, and I main- tain that it is an unheard of situa- tion if this committee cannot be al- lowed to present their case to your board until they get approval in advance trom some one individual “It would seem to me that the pur- pose of the commission form of gov- ernment is to bring to bear on the many problems of our city life, a composite viewpoint and an average judgment which an individual can- not give, and if the commissions are to be restricted to the consideration of only such measures as may be approved in advance by an individ- ual, then commissions are superflu- ous. Why not dispense with them and let the individual decide matters directly? “I hope you will see my point of view which is merely that regardless of what happens ultimately, the school committee is entitled to be heard.” Members of the Parents and Teachers association of the senior high school will discuss the high school accommodation situation at a special meeting tomorrow night at the school. ORCHESTRA TO REAEARSE The New Britain Community or- chestra will hold its first rehearsal of the season tonight in the chapel of the First Congregational church, in- stead of the old Normal school build- ing as last year. Per Olsson will continue to conduct. The early start this year is due to the desire to give a public con- cert. This was the intention last season, but it was found that, due to the late organization of the or- chestra, that this was inadvisable.
