W. H. DAY ACCEPTS DEFI FROM NAYOR (Continued from First Page) finange and taxation and the com- mon council until his survey com- mittee has completed its work, and he has insisted that he has not made up his mind whether an addition or a new building is the proper thing, preferring to await a report from his committee, Because of this con- dition 1t is unlikely that he will oonsent to the type of meeting sug- gested, or will take either aide of a debate on the specific question of which solution is pfoper. Day's letter to Mayor Committeeman Day declined to add anything to his letter to Mayor Paoncssa, which follows: “Honorable A. M. Paonessa, ity Hall, - “New Britain, Conn. “Dear Biri— “I note that you have challenged me_ through the columns of the papers_to a public discussion ©f achool mattess. 1 should wel- come such discussion. May.J point out that the school committee hus|- been for some time endeavoring to obtaln an opportunity to be heard on the school questions at iasue? © “It would seem that a most suit- able opportunity for such discus- n could he obtained by arranging for & meeting of the hoard of finance and taxation or if you pre- fer by a joint meeting of the board of finance and taxation and the common council. I will gladly ap- pear with_you at such a meetin which will not only give an epp tunity for a full discussion but may be expected” to lead toward sormfe ‘wettlement of the problem which confronis._us, “f suggest that we debate the question a% to which is the better, the school committee's solution of the high school problem. or that which proposes a new high school in the northern section of the city. “Yours very truly, “WM. H. DAY." Hall May Call Meeting Chairman Edward ¥. Hall of the hoard of finance and taxation may reverse his original decision not to call the board of finance and taxa- tion in special sesston to consider the Senior High school situation, and he plans to meet Mayor Paon. essa to discuss the matter, he said today. Senator Hall twice refused to call a meeting when requested to do so by the schosl committee, giving the explanation that the mayor will not approve a bond issue until the school survey has been completed, and that bonds cannot be marketed untll the mayor signs. For that rea- son, he pointed out, nothing can be grined by meeting at this time. Bince that statement was made strong pressure has been applied by parents and teachers associations and by individuads interested in the building program. The result of this condition is the senator's de- cislon to agaln meet with the mayor. BUY H, §. GRID TICKETS Lively kast Minute T High School—Scnick Club Meett and Elects Officers, The final sale of students’ football tickets at the Senior High school took place this noon after the close ot school.
