There will be another meeting of the board on Friday night to continue the discus- sion and make an effort to take some final action. The fact that the addition would take away much of the playground space at the school is being carefully considered, as members of the board feel that the playground space is of much importance to the pupils of the school. There are some mem- bers in favor of the original plan to build a school on the Allin lot i despite the objection voiced at two | town meetings when this was put up for a vote.

Reynolds school to- morrow evening, when the annual session will be held. The question of police protection for children in the center of the viliage is one of several and will probably be the chief topic which will demand the attention of the voters. Last year a police .officer station- ed in Forestivile center was removed from his post by an action of the city council, although such action waa termed illegal at the time. The Forestville section by a special tax arrangement assumes the cost of all police officers and for this reason persons residing in that vicinity ob- ject to the stepetaken by the city council to eliminate the day traffic officer. Just what action will be taken by the voters at the meeting tomorrow Im‘m\inl is problematical, but it is believed that a definite recommen- dation will be submitted to the council when it holds its next meet- ing. Stockholders' Mecting A special meeting of the stock- holders of the American Trust com- pany of Bristol will be held at 11 a m. July 15 for the following pur- pose, as announced by Charles T.

Municipal Concert The annual concert and entertain- ment of the Maple knd Athletic club will be held at Burlington ave- nue and Farmington avenue on July 3, when an elaborate program will be presented. Expectations are that more than 5000 Bristol residents will attend. The concert will be the first of a series which will be held in the city throughout the summer. Ail the concerts were originally sched- uled for the Federal Hill green. starting this month. but the affairs were delayed when equipment which |was to provide facilities for those attending the concerts did not ar- rive. The equipment, which consists partially of 300 large benches, was delivered in Bristol yesterday, and the concerts will now be held week- Iy after July 3. New Playzround Equipment New playgrond equipment. in the form of 12 swings of the hammock type for small children, ) delivered to the park vesterday. and their installation was begun at the Rockwell park play- ground today.

I’ANNUNZIO OPERATED ON Gardone, Italian Riviera, June 25 (P —Gabriele D'Annunzio today was recovering from an operation for ap- pedicitis,. It was said the distin- guished poet and author, who was given a local anaesthetic withstood the shock of the operation well. He is in his 66th year. WHO IS HE? Things are certairly going goed for the Silhouette Editor. No one guessed Saturday's likeness as that of Cuaptain Guorge J. Kelly, the genial . police officer whoe presides over headquarters during one shify, and today we find no one picked Louie S. Jones, real estate broser and developer of some of the city's finest residential districts. Hence, the Silhouette Editor finde himself * enriched by one dollar for the failure to pick Capt. Kelly, and ene more buck because no one recog- rized New DBritain's own “Joseph P. Day.” If this keeps up the trom- bone will be paid for soon. After two days of failure, Jet's ail arch our brows today and determina whose likeness we have with us. It so happens that one of the synonyins for his surname is described in our dictionary as “a salesman who Jis- poses of his wares by calling them out in the street. The subject of this silhouette is a salesman whe dis- roses of his wares without calling |the mout in the highways, despite the fact that the automobile he handles is one wkhich would justify some shouting from the housetops. He is the moving figure in planning and staging annual automobile shows, His place of business is in the shadow of a house of worship, with another church but a short dis- tance away—very evident that he went into the automobile business before churches opened their oppost- tion to that industry. Johnny Moran won't bave any trouble picke ing tonight's, we'll bet.
