Bostoa. - Funeral Afifl Directar and Embalmar ( { this year. and moved that the At a three hour session of the ad- journed annual town meeting Tuesday evening, in Town hall, there was a very large assembly, numbering 700 or ‘more.” There were a number of speakers on the various topics of im- portance, resulting in the lengthy dis- cussion of several matters which pro- Jonged the session. In addition to the estimate submitted by the selectmen in their report, an increase for elec- tions had to be made, because of the vote on town schco! committee after consolidation becomes effective, and ‘because of the increase in the com- mutation tax for the state, which the state doubled this year after the esti- mates were made up. To offset this $3,500 increase there will be received over $4.000 from personal tax account, which had not been included in the estimated receipts, as the indications at the time the estimates were made up were that the personal tax law would be repealed. The Otis library and Academy appropriations were vot- ed, and Norwich Town will receive the lights desired, but the voting machines and the ‘increase in the pay of the acting school visitor were defeated. A tax of 71-2 mills was ldfid. At § o'clock IFirst Selectman A. W. Lillibridge called the meeting to or- der, and upon motion of J. T. Fanning Archibald S. Spalding was chosen chairman, The call was read by Town Clerk C. S, Holbrook to the hall filled with townspepple, several hundred of whom were unable to find seats. Estimates Approved. The report of the selectmen and these estimated expenses were approv- ed: Almshouse account, $7,500; outside poor, $11,000; insane, $8,500; neglected and ‘depéndent children, $3.900: high- ways (to the city), $15,000° highways (outside city). $13,000; state road 1911 $1,500; macadam, $5,626: oiling roads, $4:500: vital statistics, $1,600; evening schools, $800; commutation, tax, $4,- 000: town clerk’s office, $500; property tax account, $3,000; sinking fund, $8,- 600; tuberculosis patients, $1,500; pro- bate district expense,. $1,000; total, $168,846. everal of these Twere not ithout discussion. F. W. Cary re- ferred to the outside the city highway account of $13,000 and the other threa items regarding highways, bringing the total to $21,126, as asgainst $13.218 Inst year and $8,759 of the year before that. He thought that if”the roads were conducted as last year and no greater amount expended a large sav- ing could be made. Chafrman Spalding explained that 1t was recommended because if the work is done it will all come within the 61-2 mill tax, and if dué consideration is given to the demand for good roads it was felt that a larger appro- priation than last Year is necessary There is no question that in the past few vears the roads have not been up to the standard, but they should be. The amount was voted. State Road Money. Comcerning the $1,500 for the state road, John Donovan objected and had the town clerk read from the 1909 record, showing swhere $5,000 was ap- proprited for the state road, and in last vear's report it was stated that amount had not been used. He said the state road is all right, but consid- ered this a double appropriation. He wanted to know where the $5,000 ap- propriation was. Chairman Spalding stated that if the road had been accepted by the state highway commissioner before Septem- ber 1st the bill would have been paid, but it was not possible for him to at- tend to it before then, so that the money which would have paid for ft, the $1,500 and the rest of the $5,000 appears in the cash on hand, at that time amounting to $12,000 and over. There was no other course for the town, and it must pay the money when cailed on. and the meeting should approve the estimate. Mr. Donovan_claimed that the road only ‘cost $4077 and the town’s share ill be $1,017.50, and he still thought it a double appropriation. He moved indefinite postponement. Chairman Spalding stated that if the town had closed the vear without a balance any one making such a statement would deserve consideration. but it is shown that there was a balance of $12,000 and better, besides which there appeared in fhe tax collector’s hands upwards of $20,000. Crowd Has a Laugh. Mr. Donovan had something to say about the improvement of the Scotland road, and not at Occum. Chairman Spalding _called for the petition ask- | ing for the improvement of the Scot- | land road from Selectman Wilcox, and as he approached the desk with it | facing Mr. Donovan, there was a gen- | eral laugh about the room. The peti- tion was read, and afterwards Mr. Spalding stated that the selectmen had tried several fimes to have work done on_the Occum road. Just as Mr. Donovan started to re- ply, some one shouted “I ain't an Ir maii, T was born in Meriden,” and the crowd went wild, while Mr. Donovan, indignan{, looked about the room for the man who had been {alking. To Mr. Boardman, Mr, Spalding stat- ed that the $1,500 will have to be paid the state somehow. A vote on Mr. Donovan's amendment to table was lost by a very large ma- ority, after which the $1,500 was vot- ed. $4,000 for Bridge: Concerning bridges, for which $1, 094 spent last vear, $4,000 was asked this year, Mr. Spalding explain- ing that it is desired to start the re- building of certain bridges with ment, to make them permanent and do away with yvearly repairs.

The $4,000 | was appropriated. | 1t was stated that from the $8,200 of | the contingent fund, an increase of a | few hundred over last vear, it was ex- mected to secure additional benches for the Town hall. On_the election account, Chairman Spalding explained that the extra elec- tion occasioned by the vote to con- solidate schools, which must be held in June, will increase the election ex- pense, and it is thought $4.500 will ba required. To J. T. Fanning it was stated by the town clerk that it Would hardly be possible to use machines if they are secured, as it will come on the city election day, and the hours of the polls will be different. To W. H. Shields, Mr. Spalding stat- ed that the amounts would be secured with @ 61-2 mill tax.

The notice regarding this was not received until after the report had been printed. Albert Boardman 2sked if the personal tax would not cover that, but was told that the com- mutation was entirely separate and has to be paid to the state. To offset the two increases, Mr. Spalding said that the personal 'tax collected will be placed in the, estimated receipts, but could not be before this, as when the report was made the matter was before the legislature, with good chances of teing repealed. It was not, thoush some changes were made, It was stated that other towns are Leeping thelr tuberculosis patients’ ac- counts sepurate, and it is desired to do so here. . A sanatorium in the county is expected in the year and several patients are now kept at Meriden, Reports Accepted. wich Town shouldn't come Into the city. J. B. Shannon pays 11 mills oity tax, but it is not fair that those just above him should escape it and get the seme_benefits. J. P. Murphy advocated the lights, thousgh he fayored joining the city. A motion_to_irdefinitely postvone was lost. W. O. Rogers said the district wanted the lights and was willing to come into the city. The appropriation of $600 was voted. $12,000 for the Academy. F. J. Werking of the Principald club presented a resolution for the payment of $12,000 to the Academy to relieve the resident pupils of the town of the term fees at the school, not to exceed $30 a pupil for the year. He referred to the fact that it is much less than what it would cost per pupil to maintain a high school, as the aver- age per pupil for that in the state is $50. There are 35 more pupils attend- The reports of the town treasurer, treasurer of the town deposit fund, the sinking fund commission, ‘the health officer, the school visitors and the trus- tees uf the Otis library were approved. Salaries were fixed as follows: First selectman, $2,100; second and third se- lectmen, 3200 each; town clerk, $20 town treasurer, $500; collector’s com. mission, one per cent. of amount col- lected, all being the same as last year. Acting School Visitor's Salary. When the saliry of the acting school | visitor was taken up a resolution from F. H. Cranston was, presented as an amendment to _the motion of Nicholas Tarrant, who desired the salary to re- main the same as last year, cailing for the increasing of the salary to $800. Henry G. Peck spoke in favor of this, saving that the present official is worth it and he has saved the town much money. Nicholas Tarrant soke against it, as did Albert Boardman, who said he had taught school ten years and he was never greatly impressed with a school visitor's work. The $500 me $12 a week, or more than the aver: man earns. The work is done in ad- dition to office work. He said it is al- most as much as some college grad- uates get at teaching. When schools are consolidated no visitor will be reeded. F. H. Cranston told of the excellent work the acting school visitor had done and that the East Side school and Oc- cum school had been added since the $500 salary was fixed. When put to & vote it was over- whelmingly defeated, after which the salary was fixed at $500. The salary of the assessors was fixed at $1,800 for the three. Otis Library Appropriation. For the $4,500 for the Otis library a resolution was presented by G. S. Ray- mond in its behalf and he said that for 18 years it has been voted and the people given the privileges of a free library. It amounts to only a quarter of a mill tax, 7 cents for each inhabit- ant or 40 cents for each taxpaver; He believed it should be unanimously voted. The appropriation was ap- proved. Voting Machinés Beaten. A resolution asking for $8,000 for voting machines, ten in number, was presented by Ernest A. Smith.- Albert Boardman asked if they could be leased but was told they could not. When Mr, Boardman asked {f ‘other than one miake had been looked up, Mr. Spalding stated that {he selectmen had inquired what machines are in use in the state and had written to several cities where they are in use. The state commission advises the use of the machine pro- posed. : Gen. ‘William A. Afken i speaking for the machines said that those who Lave seen them in use endorse them. By the present method votes are Being lost, voters disfranchised. There is no way of knowing whether votes are counted now unless a straight ticket is voted. (That's the way to vote.) All the trouble comes from the so-called but wrongly called Australian ballot. The machine gives the independent voter an equally easy chance to vote. The present ballot is a complex -one ena was devised to get the straight vote. In Meriden there were 400 votes thrown out because of it. Personally T would prefer an honest ballot passed by the legislature, but they don't mean to give the votérs ome. T _therefore favor the machine, he said. Tt saves a Ierge amount of work, is quicker and it gives confidence. Edward Kirby opposed the. machines and had a paper read showing where in Eimira a machine failed to reglster orly four democratic votes in ten cast. Economy was his watchword, and he moved indefinite postponement. Mayor Thaver asked to have the let- tors from othsr cities read, but Mr. Shielas thought the people ought to whether they could b2 read or not. The vote to_indefinitely postpone was put, but the Yes and No vote was so close that a second trial was neces- That was little better, but the chairman decided that the Noes had it. This was appealed from, but it was fm- possible to tell whether the appeal had been sustained or not. Rev. E. S, Worcester maintained that a two-thirds vote is necessary to re- verse the chalr, but it was held that he majority would rule. In order to endeavor to clear up the sitvation the discussion_was allowed to continu W. H. Shields reviewed the various ballots which had been used and op- posed the machine. He did not thinl had been perfected and soon a new stvle would-be wanted. He considered would be prudent*to wait. He didn't like relyine on the machine. Albert Boardman stated that there is less excitement about the polls with the new ballots. The votes cannot be guided so well. It is a great improv. ment, but the machines would be still better. The machines do the work co: rectly and, like an adding machine, can foot up a column of figures faster and Letter than a man. so can the voting machine do its work better. -Machines | have been in use a dozen years and v assure an accurate vote. A mis tuke of voting for more than one man for a single office cannot be made and what is voted for is recorded. The machine is no respecter of \persons. The voter alone knows how he voted. By no other system do you know your vote is counted. He expressed satis- faction with the proposed machin Rev. P. C. Wright said that he was cver at a town meeting when the de- sire to carry out the wish of the peo- ple was more evident. He said he be- T'eves in the average ability of the a erage American and that he was safer With the intricate ballot than to trust to an intricate machine. He considered i ‘above the average man’s ability to operate a machine. He believed the matter should be settled by passing in vont of the desk. Winslow T. Williams thought a néh- partisan commission should be named to look into the matter and report at @ subsequent meeting. The vote on indefinite postponement was taken again viva voce. but it could not be decided. and the vote was taken were 394 vored postponement and 157 opb The motion was declared vostponed. There was a large number who did not cast a vote. Norwich Town Lights. Allen T&tham moved that $600 be appropriated for additional electric lights “at Norwich Town, saving the Sireets were not properly lighted. Dr. i ing the Academy this year than last, because of last year's vote probably, there being 383 registered new, which will cost $11,490, with others who may attend during the year. T, ¢.-Murphy held that all were in- debted to the Academy, but there is a state law which sans éach town shall furnish a high school’ The Academy doubled the fee because of the new building and insufficient funds, but that very tuition is what the state must pay to the town, and he read from the law to maintain his position. He urged that the appropriation be made. 'W. F. Shields said that Mr. Murphy 4id not make a correct statement of the law. Te Academy had got so that the town must maintain it as last years vote indicated. Everyore is proud of the Academy.sin 1854 citi- zens of Norwich decided to give Nor- wich a free schol, and_gave $100,000, lands and buildings. If their charter was carried out the school' would be free, barring incidentals of a few hun- dred dollars. The Academy by its charter has mo right to exact one penny of tuition. If it was a different scheol with another charter the town could get from the state, by the law two-thirds the cost of the tuition of the pupils attending there, as pald by the town. The Academy ought in fair- ness to the town treat this matter fair, and change thei charter or be a free school. As they are doing, theih char- ter could be revoked, and it isn’t right to the town, as the two-thirds from ihe state ought to be received, but it will not be paid to the town under the present conditions. The Academy is not asking for tuition, but it is get- ting it and receiving it. He moved indefinite postponement until legal action is taker, but at the suggestion of Rev. P. C. Wright he said he would withdraw it, and the amount was ‘voted. Mr. Shields then moved that the se- Jectmen name a committee of ten to take into consideration the town and the -Academy. The selectmen were authorized to borrow not more than $70,000 to take care of the business of the town until the tax is collected. A tax of 71-2 mills, with a half mill of that to go into the sinking fund, was voted, to be pald April 10, 1912, Objection to the Metions. Amos A. Browning said that many thought the voting machines should be reconsidered, and if they are good Wwe should have them: He recommend- ed that the selectmen name a com- mittee of five to consider them and the ‘manner of voting and report at a later meeing. Objection was n e to this bye man, and it not being in the warning it was ruled out. The same man objected to the mo- tlon that the selectmen include tha Otis Iibrary appropriation in their es- timates each year, and that had to be excluded. Had there been no objection the motions woull have been put. That completed the business and adjournment was taken at 1L05 o'clock. SIXTEENTH CONVENTION OF STATE KING'S DAUGHTERS.
