Mr. Newell, who has filled all the subordinate offices in the lodge, succeeds Howard 8. Smith as mas- ter. Mr. Smith was elected marshal. A notable feature of the meeting was the retirement of George A. Case trom the positioh of secretary, which he had filled for 21 years. Mr. Case was released from his duties with regret, and he received many expressions of commendation \[for the way in which he had filled his office during meore than two decades. He was elected chaplain. Stanley 8. Gwillim, another lodge lofficial with a long service record behind him, was reelected treasurer for his 17th term.

Town Mceting Tonight Action on a request of the school board for the appropriation of §95,- 000 for a 12-room addition to the Linden Street school will be taken at a epecial town meeting to be held in the High school auditorium at 8 o'clock tonight. The proposal of the school committee has met {with the approval of the town board |of finance, and it is planned to fin- lance the addition by means of & {bond issue. The terms of these |bonds and the committee to look lafter their issue are to be fixed ilonighi. Five of the 12 rooms will be needed next fall, the school depart- ment says, to take care of the grow- ing population in the castern end of the town. The new portion will contain a kindergarten, which hi been lacking in thc eastern section. The construction of the addition will Dbe the same as that of the part al- added on to the rear of one wing of the present structure, Some opposition to the addition has been reported among the towns- people. Some fear that the expendi- ture will result in a larger tax rate, a very delicate subject in Plainville just now. Others grant the neces- sity of addition accommodations Jut want & new school in the ecast and north of the railroad tracks, as was originally suggested by L. S. Mffis, former superintendent of schools. They claim children in the Trumbull avenue section must cross a main highway and the railroad tracks to reach the Linden street building and would prefer a building where this could be obviated. The school committee feels that its present plan is the most sensible and certainly the gost economical of any scheme for enlarging school accommodations here and s con- fldent that the addition will be voted. i Pythian Sisters to Elect Pythian Temple.

In accordance with on 53 of the city charter, the city council, at a special meeting on Tuesday, De- cember 18, will consider any pro- rosals advocating change in the city charter. The charier provides that such a meeting be held during the month of October in the year ceding any regular session of the Connecticut Jegisiature, but through oversight on the part of the city clerk and other city cificials, the meeting was not held at that tim: While it is not anticipated that any changes will be propo: in the event there should be, v little time would be available for the drafting of a bill to cover such re- visions, gnd the necessary ad ing of such changes. Section 53, the article in question, reads as follows: “In the year preceding any regular session of the Connecticut legislature, the city council shall. during the month of October, advertise in one or more newspapers published in the city of Bristol, a notice of a special meeting in said month of October of said council at which any elector may appear and advocate any changes in the Bristol city charter. “During the month of November of said vear, the council shall ad vertise in one or more newspapers published in Bristol any changes to the city charter, which sald council may have agreed upon. and at the sume time notice of a niecting to be held the same month at which any elector may appear and comment upon such amendments as are de- sited by the council. “If any turther changes are de cided upon. they shall be advertised ) manncr and no measurc :mending the city o all be > 1eod ure by any ciicial of the city of bill or sub. 21l have been ad- 1 in one or mors newspapers 1in the city of Bristol, and ors shill have beon given an tv 1o he heard by the cit on the same, 4 1 tng the neees offici a loc m on th after it by the leg ¢ PO Intu nIrove The condition of Chester € %, r-old son of N y plcki of 13 Diwight street, who suffered a broken leg and body bruises when struck on Burlington avenue early Tuesday afternoon by an automobile operated by Arnold J. Powers of Fairfield street, was somewhat improved, according to a statement made by authoritics at the Bristol hospit today to definitely determine the ex- tent of the young lad’s injuries. Powers reported the accident to police headquarers and wis released on his own recognizance tor his ap- pearance before the p.osccuting at- torney when the boy is able to ap- pear. Auto Breaks Hydrant A water hydrant at the corner of West and School streets was enap- ped off at its base last evening when an automobile operated by Louis Dimeo, North Main street pharma- cist, skidded on the icy pavement and climbed the curbing. The inter- section was flooded until repairs were completed by the employes of the city water department. Dimeo explained the occurrence to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert J. Stack this morning and agreed to reimburse the city for the expense involved. No arrest was made. Trucks Ordered Two five ton trucks, the purchase of which was approved by the city council at its meeting on December 4. have been ordered for the public works department by City Purchas- ing Agent Thomas B. Steele and it 18 expected that one will be delivered this month. The acquisition of the trucks, Which' city officials believe will re- sult in a saving for the city, were purchased with the unexpended bal- ance of the public works depart- ment appropriation for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1928. Will Eliminate Rowdyism Coincident with the request of Faculty Director Samuel Josolowitz that the police break up the flashing of hip-pocket flasks at high school baskethall games, Manager Joseph pre- | rtis- | vs will be taken | 7 P. Carroll of the New Departure quintet has solicited the ceepera- tion of the police in. elimimating rowdyism from games played by the industrial team in the" new state armory. It is understood that sev- eral girls have complained te the management recently because of be- ing accosted by strangers and such breaches of etiquette will no lenger be tolerated. Officers assigned to the armory games have been in- structed to evict anyome feund guilty of such misdemeanors. Non-Support Case Frank O. Ekstrom of 14 Broad Place, Forestville, as & result of the decision of Judge Joseph M. Demo- van in police court today, must pest a bond of $1,000 to pay his wite $15 a week for the next year or serve a three months' jail sentence. ¥ Ekstrom was taken inte custedy | by Detective Sergeant Daniel Mc- Gillicuddy upon the request of Pro- bation Officer Thomas A. Tracy. who testified in court today that the man had failed to report te him as instructed by Judge, William J. Ma- lone in police court on November 5. At that time Ekstrom was placed on probation for a six months period but in spite of the fact that the probation officer had called at his home on several occasions, he had been unable to meet him on any ene of the visits. He also stated that he had been informed by Mrs, Eks- trom that her husband would leave the house early in the morning and return late at night and that he had declined offers of three jobs with local contractors. Last Sunday night Ekstrom was {nstructed by, Officer Timothy Lambert te visit the probation officer the following day but this he failed to do. ' According to Mr. Tracy, there are five minor children in the Ekstrom family, the oldest, a boy of nineteen, having been confined to the house for the past three months with an attack of rheumatism. Due to Ekstrom's refusal to work, the eity has been called upon to assist in keeping the family together. Ekstrom at one time was eon- fined to a sanitarium, but was re- leased a short time later as being mentally capable. An examination by two local doctors a few menths ago indicated that the man was sane but that he apparently had an aversion for work. His bond had not been furnished at noon today and it is probable that he will be forced to serve the jail sentence. Liquor Law Violator Fined A fine of $150 and costs was fm- posed on Timothy Riordan, propri- or of a restaurant and poel reom it 164 Central street, Forestville, on harges of keeping liquor with in. tent to sell and reputation. Pinrdan’s place of business was ded last Friday evening by Ser- goant Henry Jeglinski and Officer William Thompson and a small juarti'y of liquor found in a pitch- r wos confiscated. At that time Poter Martusis, an employe, who vas alone on duty, was arrested and ter released under bond. Riordan preared at headquarters the fole awing day when he learned that & warrant had been issued for his ar- . The cnse agninst Martusis was olled this morning by Assistant Droseenting Attorney Robert J. Stack on povment of costs. W. R. C. Meeting | A meeting of Gilbert W.
