NODEL BOYS' IR READY IN BRISTOL fuclites for Expanded Pro- gram—Dedication Tomorrow (@pecial to the Herald) Bristol, Feb. 11 — The new home » the Bristol Boys' club at 105 Laurel street, which is to be dedic t- »:d tomorrow evening, is another in- Jication of the city’s progressiveness. The new building, which is modern and complete In every respect, is re- garded by the National Boys' Club fedération as a model building in which the best ideals of boys’ club work can be carried out. The building and the cquipment which it contains are not the gifts of any individual or small group of individuals but are the results of large and small contributions by thousands of residents of the city. In addition, manufacturers, ecducators, bankers, merchants and professional men have worked together to pro- vide a practical building where every dollar expended has brought real value to a worthy Bristol enterprise. The building lacks crnate adorn- ments but is nonetheless inviting and Its simplicity both inside and out is one of its charms. Provisians for Future Growth The building committee evidently believes in the futurc growth of Bristol for its has provided for the addition of one or more stories at comparatively slight expense. stalrways, for instance ,have been finished right up to the roof. An- other detail that indicates the ex- treme care with which the building was planned is that in the basement there is located a storage battery auxiliary electric lighting system so that at any time when the regular lighting service fails, the auxiliary system automatically flashes in every part of the building without touch- ing a switch or pushing a button. This provision is particularly im- portant in the swimming pool, gym and in the class rooms where ma- chinery is in operation. The building is exceptionally well ventilated and because of its many large windows and skylights, receiv- ea the full benefit of sunlight. The furnishings, which arrived last week, are the gift of Mrs. Carlyle I". Barnes and are of a very substantial and serviceable char- acter. Building Well Planned Upon entering the club, one finds himself in a tiled vestibule, reading & welcome greeting. A spacious lobby is just beyond the double doors and this lobby or reception room Is one of the cleverest fea- tures of the entire building because from it, every activity of the club can be watched and supervised. The superintendent's’ office is on the im- mediate right and this connects with the large reception desk which oc- cuples a central posjtion. Just l_ze- yond the desk is the library with large double doors. On the extreme right side is the coat room. In the corner is the entrance to the swim- ming pool, then the entrance to the locker room and Immediately 1n front is a large basket booth, the particular purpose of which will be deseribed later. To the left of this is the entrance to the gym balcony and the rooms upstairs and the trace class rooms in the basement. In the left hand corner is the wide entrance to the gym and on the left side there are double doors leading to the junior game room and imme- diately to the left are the boys' toilet facilities, The lobby is somewhat in the shape of an octagon and is 36 feet long by 28 feet wide in'it's greatest dimensions, Battleship linoleum cov- ers the floor and the woodwork is finished in dark oak with sidewalls and ceiling in light buff, The library is 18 feet wide by B6 1-3 feet long and contalns over 600 volumes, a large center table and many small reading tables, each ©of which is individually lighted by artistic . The turniture in this room is all leather covered and com- prises divan, easy chairs, and straight backed chairs at the tables. A fireplace adds to the charm of ghe room. The coat room is modern and fully mquipped for quickly and.conveni- ently checking garments, A Popular Spot The swimming pool, one of the features of the building, is 20 feet by 60 feet in size and is equipped with springboard, a gallery and is handsomely tiled throughout. Vari- wus depths of water are provided. On the right of the pool is an en- trance into the boys' locker room end & stairway to the girla’ shower baths on the floor above. There are also shower bath facilities in the locker rooms which will be used ex- clusively for boys. The basket booth is so called be- eause it utilizes the Kansas City basket system for entering either the swimming pool or the gym. A boy who desires to use these facili- ties presents his membership card at the basket window and is given a wire basket ane tocker key. He then passes into the locker room and prepares for either the pool or the gym. When coming out he delivers up the key and the basket and his membership card is returned to him. This simple system reduces to a minimum the possibility of theft. The baskets are placed on steam coils every night and thoroughly sterilized by heat. The Gymnasium gymnasium, another of the al features of the building, an entire wing two stores 50 by 76 in sizes with a playing surface of 40 feet by 62 -12 feet. This room is especially well lighted and airy. A balcony extends along three sides of the gym, fully equipped with opera chairs and bleachers capable of accommodating €00 people. On the left side is a wide entrance to the locker room, showers and pool. There is a clear- ance of 20 feet from the floor sur face to the lower steel girders. The gym will be equipped with parapher- nalla for playing basketball, hori- zontal bars, parallel pars, etc. Open- ing from the balcony at the rear of the gym I8 a modern motion picture booth cooled by a rotating fan. Game Rooms The junior game room is 40 fect Ly 42 feet in size and at (he south side the long winter evenings will be made cheerful by huge logs burn- ng In a large fireplace. This roomn will be equipped with a pool table, reading and game tables and a full equipment of games that will be dis- pensed from a booth located in one corner of the room. On the secona floor is the senior game room of the same size, equip- ped with two pool tables, games, reading and game tables, a small li- brary and also provided with a fire- place. This room will be used by the older boys and young men who are members of the club. Class Rooms Extending along the front of the building will be a large triple class room or assembly hall 60 x 18 and divided by folding doors so that it can be used as three individual class rooms or as one large room. One of these rooms is provided with a blackboard and all are equipped with tables and chairs. Just as pres- ent the mechanical drawing class is the only class which will occupy this room. An item of furniture is a | large cabinet for holding drawing instruments, which was built by Francis Porowski, a lad 14 years of age, who is a member of the club. Adjacent to this large assembly room is a spacious kitchen fully | cquipped with kitchen facilities and | sufficient dishes and silverware to serve 250 people. It is planned to make this room available to the Boy Scouts, the Hi-Y and other boy organizations in the city on such oc- casions as they desire an assembly hall. The shower baths for girls are lo- | cated on this floor but are so situat- | ed that at times when the boys are using the building, shower baths, gym and swimming pool can be en- tirely closed off from the boys’ quar- ters. The shower baths arc divided | by marble slabs and adjacent to them are the girls' lockers. The en- trance to the girls’ showers is by means of a side door and stairway. Hair dryers are also provided in this department. On this floor also closet in which card other paraphernalia of the club not constantly in use will be stored. The Work Shops In the basement is a manual | training or carpentry room 40x42 in size, equipped with 20 manual train- ing benches, two power saws, a planer and a turning lathe. On the night of the dedication, specimens of the work done by the boys in this class will be to display. A print shop, 20x30, is equipped with a new printing press, fonts of type and other printing department paraphernalia. In still another room approximately the same size will the auto mechanic room in which the care of the mechanism of an automobile will be taught and suit- able machinery equipment provided. The boiler room occupies a con- sideraple part of the basement and is equipped with two large sized steam bollers, filteration plants for filtering the water going into the swimming pool, the storage batteries for the auxiliary electric lgthing system, a large storage tank and a super-heater. Drinking mountains are provided in all rooms. Public Invited To correct an impression which seems to have gained headway iIn some quarters, the committee in charge of the dedication of the new Boys’ club building desires to make it clearly understood that the gen- eral public is cordially invited to at- tend the exercises. The dedication is not an invitation affair. The doors will open Tuesday eve- ing at 7 o'clock and the program starts at 7:45 with a concert by the New Departure orchestra. There will be opportunity for inspecting the building both before and after the dedication program.

Relative to the accident itself, Spada #aid he was driving at the ap- proximate rate of 20 miles an hour and as he raised his left hand to throw a cigarette out, his sleeve be- came caught on a part of the car, causing him to lose control of the wheel. He was ready to attend to the settlement of the damage to the parked car, which Edward Wellins of 1536 Stanley street owns, cord- ing to Prosecuting Attorney Woods, who told the court Spada had left his wifc at the home of her mother on Belden street and was on his way to a friend's hous¢ when the dent occurred.

MAN BADLY BEATEN EXPECTED TOLIVE Aselunas Recovering From In- juries—Niskenas' Bond Reduced Alexander Aselunas, 41, of 30 Church street, whose death was ex- pected for a few days last week, is on the road to recovery at New Britain General hospital, Prose- cuting Attorney J. G. Woods an- nounced in police court today, and he recommeided that the bond on which John Miskenas, 38, of 324 Church street, has been _held, be re- duced from $5,000 to $500. Miskenas, who is represented by Judge W. F. Mamgan, {s charged with assaulting Aselunas in William Zimitravich’s paint store on Hart- ford avenue. He surrendered to the police last Sunday night, on learning that he was being sought. Aselunas, in a statement to Prosecuting Attor- ney Woods on what was believed to be his death bed, named Miskenas aas his assailant, alleging that he had been struck and knocked against a box, with the result that his ribs were fractured and one lung punctured. Judge Saxe accepted the recom- mendation for reducing the bond and continued the case until Febru- ary 25. He favored one week's con- tinuance at first, but Judge Mangan remarked that as he understood the injured man's condition, his princi- pal danger is from an attack of the grip and it might be advisable to al- low him two more wecks under treatment.

My term as mayor ex- pired before I accomplished this. “Last spring when 1 was re-elect- ed, in fact during the week of my inauguration, I called Mr. Johnson to my office and we sat down for a heart-to-heart talk on this sub- ject. At that time, Mr. Johnson as- sured me that everything was all right. Why did Mr. Johnson de- ccive me? Why did he not confide in City Engineer Merian? “Determined to bring about an audit of city books, I once more recommended to the common coun- cil, in my annual message, that this be done, and I went to the board of finance and taxation with the same idea in mind. ¥\ *On the 29th day of May, 1928, the city comptroler was instructed by the board of finance and taxation te |1ook over the books—a part of his duty.
