Instead of sho a total voting strength in excess of 1,600, &s expected, the voting Jists heing prepared by the Togistrara for the fons will give Killingly oniy 1569 electors, a de- craase of 76 frém 1909. This fact is explained as the result of a careful sorutiny of the lists by the board of registrars and the val of ell names of persons regarded as “deadwood. No names have been removed, bogever, without due warrant for such n. There were 1,585 voters registered in Killingly last and with the large number of applications from those who desirad to be made this year there was every indication that the 1910 list would ehow sbove the 1,600 mank. Six- ty-three new es hve been added o the list a# the outcome of the meet- ing of the officiads on Saturday, the last day for Hting eleotors before the annual town meefing. This gain, though, was mere than offset by the names removed. The following comparative statement by distriots will show what the voting strength was last year and what it will b2 this year: 1809—District No. 1, 856; District No. 2, 528; District No. 3, 201; total, 1,585. 1819~—District No. 1. 838: District No. 2, 465; District No. 3, 206; total, 1,500. The heaviest loss is in the Second gistrict, 63 of the total shrinkage of 76 being charged againgt that section of the town. This is due Jargely to the fact that the emill of the Williams- ville Manufacturing company has been idle in part for some monfhs. Only 36 voters are now resident in the Sev- enth school district of Kitlingly, this district including Williamsville. = The 1088 of voting strength in the First dis trict was 18, andein the Third district (East Killingly and vicinity) only 5. To Improve Highways. Specifications and plans for the two stretches of macadem Toad to be built in Killingly with state aid havae been received by the selectmen of the town. The sections of highway to be im- proved extend from the bridge at Bim- ville to Kelley's corner at Dayville and from the Attawaugan bridge to Bai- jouville. The bids from eontractors for doing this work are to be opened on Friday of this week and the con- tract will probably be given immedi- ately. LOSS OF INCOME And Payment of State Tax Have In- creased Town Debt. While the town Teports just issued show that the debt of Killingly has in- oreased in- excess of $10,000 during the past year, there has bean as a matter of fact a decrease in the actual ex- penses of running the town during that period, the total amount of orders drawn by the selectmen being less than it was for the previous vear, this also being true Of the total wmount of the orders drawn en the account of the school committee as compared with last year. The abova statement, as far as It applies to the selectmen, must be considered as meaning that the amount of tneir orders was less this year than jast with the $15.000 order drawn for the town hall excludsd from last years accounts, this item belng an extraordi- nary expense. Tt has cost less this year to maintain the highwaye and also less for the care of the town poor. The increase in the debt is awplained as due to loss of income from some utnam sources, the payment of a state tax of $2,500 and by reason of other unusual expenditures. Brooklyn Expense Account. The summary of the expenses of the town of Brooklyn, just issued, shows that the total paid on orders of the selectmen amounted during the past year to $14,240. Of this amount $2,- 596.12 was spent on the highways, $,- $21.22 for schools and $3,205.41 for the support of the poor, this latter amount exclusive of the cost of supporting the insans poor, which item amounted to $618.59. The above items include the greater part of the expenditures for the year. The expense for shoveling snow was quite large, howaver, the amount be- ing $799.06 The military enrollment cost the town $100. The following somewhat peculiar item appears in the sumnary of ex- pense: “Perambulating line, Brooklyn and Hampton, $3.” This small amount, it is explained, was paid out In meet- ing the cost of having the selectmen see that the territory where the line between the towns runs was walked over and inspected with the object of seeing that boundary marks were in their accustomed places. LEASED FACTORY NO. 2. Conneoticut ls Company to Occupy Big Building at Industrial Place. Tha Connecticut Mills company, the corporation that recently leased the Pilling hosiery mill on Center street for the purpose of manufacturing a special fabric for use in upholstering automobiles, has decided instead to take factory No. 2 at Industrial placa, this latter mill being also the property of Charles B. Wheatley of Danielson, from whom the smaller mill was leased. The factory at Industrial place has never been occupied sincs it was built three years ago. It is a fine modern factory and has come to be regarded by the new firm as better suited to their wants than the smaller mill could be. Some of the machinery for the concern is now in Danielson and will be removed from the cars and In- stalled as rapidly as possible. The machinery is all new. Polish Man Missing from Moosup. Chief Pilling of the local police has recsived a complaint from Polish resi- dents of the borough that one of their colony is missing and that they fear he has met with foul play. The miss- ing man went to Moosup about three woeks ago; reports have reached his friends here that he was set upon in the highway by a gang of thugs, and since that tima he has not been seen. Chiet Pilling advised that the matter Dbe taken up with the authorities of the town of Plainfleld, as he has no juris- diction in that placs. Barn and Contents Burned. Fire of doubtful origin destroyed a small barn at the place of George Beaney, on the road to Brooklyn, Sat- urday afternoon. There wee no appa- ratus at hand with which to fight the fire and it burned untfl the barn and its contents were destroved. This place was formerly occupled by Wil- liam Taylor, now of the West Side. The loss will not be great. Strest Oil Arriv Three tank cars filled with street sprinkling ofl are standing on the sidings in tha local yards.

The sudden death of Willis H. Ben- nett at an early hour Monday morn- ing saddened many friends. NMr. Ben- nett had been il with searlet fever, but it was supposed had recoverad and returned to his work.

At a special meeting of the town school board held in the office of the sacretary, Attorney Charles L. Torrs at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, with seven of the members present, after a somewhat lengthy scussion of the complaints of parents of first grade pupils in the Israel Putnam school re- garding the present school room in the third story of the building, it was vot ed that although the school board does ot approve of the present ac- commodation, yet in view of the fact { that the town is spending a large sum | of money Tor schools this year, and ‘fl\n( when the present high school is | vacated there will be ample reom in | the old high school to relieve the con- | gestion in the Israel Putnam school, | and, further, because of the fact that the board finds affer consulting phy- | sicians that the sanitary conditions of rooms available in the vicinity of the Israel Putnam school are no better than the present accommodations, that | the school board will take no sotion in the premises. Tt was estimated in the discussion that the rent and expenses of hiring new rooms for the first grade pupils would be above $400 a vear, and the scheol board did mot believe it would be justified $n Incurring such ex- pense at the present time. | " The action of the board on the mat- | ter was taken in view of complaints | that have come in. A petition for act- ion by the board had also been cir- culated. There are about forty pu- pils in the grade, which has been lo- | cated on the third floor for about two | vears.
