SCOUTS TO ATTEND FUNERAL OF ‘PAL Death Takes Artemas Stockman, dr, at Age ol 19 Artemas Stockman, Jr., 19 years old, died at the New Britain General hospital at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon following a long illness. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Artemas Stockman, sexton of the First Congregational church. He attended Senior High school until illness made his withdrawal neces- sary. For sevaral months during the fall and winter he was on the staff of the New Britain Boys' club where he was assistant to Superin- tendent Dwight Skinner.

FIRST POLISH SETTLER | IN NEW BRITAIN DEAD, (Continued from First Page) which stood where City hall is now | located. He had the building | nioved through the streets to 283 Myrtle street where the building still stands. This, probable more | than any other reason, is résponsible | for the fact that the Polish settle- ment in New Britain is in the north- western section. He lived in this home for many years and when Poles arrived in New Britain it was their first stopping | place. They came to him asking him to gain them employment in the factories and his kindly coopera- | tion made him a leader in the Pol- ish colony which was being estab- lished rapidly. The man who now has the dis- | tinction of being the oldest Polish | resident in this city is John Tra- | ceski who lived upstairs in the Os- | troski homestcad for many years | after he came to this city. He then moved 1o Jubilee street where he is etill living. During the early years the Polish people had attended the old St.| Mary's church on Muyrtle street. Many of them could not speak Eng- lish. Mr. Ostroski sent to Phila- delphia for a Polish priest who took charge of the congregation. He lived with Mr. Ostroski while n New Britain ' Realizing that there was enough of their nationality to form a church a meeting of the parishioners was called. Many wanted the church es- tablished in the eastern section of the city but the majority wanted it where it is now located and it was voted to have it in the northwestern #ection. This definitely decided that the Poles of future generations would live in the northwestern section be- canse they were practically all of the Roman Catholic faith and it was the custom to live as near their church as possible, At that period there were three nationalities, those of Irish extrac- tion, who lived about Sexton and neighboring streets known as “Dub- lin Hill,” those of German extrac- tion, whe lived about the north end, and those of the American stock who lived on East Main street and Franklin square sections. The north- western section was mostly woods. idward, Thomas Ostroski's only #on, and the first Polish boy to come to this city, remembers the gib and good-humored jokes which were aimed at him by his Irish and Ger- man playmates, When Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski came to New Britain the old Sacred Heart church was being constructed and he took the leadership in estab- lishing his people herc. Mr. Ostro- #ki was numbered among the few surviving charter members of the parish. At one time he was a mem- ber of the Knights of Columbus. He leaves 18 descendants includ- ing his son Edward T. Ostroski; four daughters, Mrs. Henry T. Be- lair, Mrs. Kenaz V. Johnston, Mrs. Flora McCofmack and Mrs. Edward X. Callahan, all of New Britain, 12 grandchildren and one great grand- child. He had been living in Bristol for six years. Funeral services will be held at 8¢, Btanislaus church in Bristol Thurs- day morning at 9 o'clock. Burial will be in the family plot in Fair- view cemetery where Mrs. Ostroski was laid at rest.

Kirkham on the situation brought about by the failure of Anthony Pechout to come up to the minimum height requirement of & feet 8 inches, Chairman M. missioners said today. The officer became a member of the department in 1926 and his physical examina- tion contains cntry that his height conformed to the requirements, but when he wassexamined a few weeks ago he was found to be only 5 ft 3-4 inches in height. Chairman Bannan admitted today that the situation was puzzling and he pointed out that although the of- ficer was appointed legally and pro- | perly, he is actually under the mini- mum height fixed by ordinance, still there is no precedent, so far as is known, for action. At any rate, the chairman said, it is his desire to be fair in the matter, and before any action is taken the situation will be gone into thoroughly. Some applicants for appointment to the supernumerary force have been found to be one-quarter of an inch under the minimum height, ! Chairman Bannan said today, and ' he believes there is a possibility of a discrepancy in the measuring ap- paratus. He indicated that consid- eration will be given to these cases at the board meeting mn.uhr STATE BUDGET 1 PASSED IN SENATE! (Continued from First Page) biennium appropriations and apparently satisfied with Senator Christ’s answer. Senator Bergin voiced no ohjec- tion to the senate bill carrying the appropriations and it was passed unanimously. It now goes to the house, where it probably will appear for action on next Tuesday. Senator Christ Talks Senator Christ pointed out m..t because motor vehicle and highw department overhead expénses will comc from motor vehicle receipts, only $35,843,703 of the budget will come from the civil list. The high- way overhead is listed at for the biennium and the motor vehicle, $1.546,161. A bill passed hy the general assembly this session makes the motor vehicle receipts responsible for highway ex- penses. Of the $1.600.000 increase over the 1927-29 hudget about $1,000,000 is represented in the budget for the state department of education, tha appropriation for which for the b, ennium is $6.747.584. all The 1927-29 item for this depart- ment was $5,007,600 and a supple- | mentary budget gave it $290,000 more, making a total of 600, Senator Christ said the depart ment would receive an estimated $1.000,000 from outside this money going into the civil list fund, through the state treasurer, rather than heing used as hereto- fore directly by the department. Senator Christ said the following increases ocecur in the education de- | partment: Enumeration grant, $100 060; High school tuition, $35.000; | High school t “000; trained teach 0000 model school teachers $5.000; special edn- cation L000 and miscellaneons $3,000.
