So Say Many Citizens Who Are Op- posed to Board of Five. An effort to reduce the number of | gelectmen in Killingly from five to | three will be made this fall. This ig a | change that has been advocated for | some time, but not until the great amount of controversy that has occur- red over the seiectmen during the past two vears has the proposition received serious attention. Prominent men who are advocating the change say that they believe that it would be one of the wisest moves that the town could make, and they say that they are at a loss to find a solitary sound reason why the board should consist of even three members, either from the standpoint of more efficient or more economical administration. In- the change say that there is absolutely no question but that three men, shar- would get better resuits than is now possible with five selecemen. A review of the State Register and | Manual shows that out of the 168 have boards of selectmen con- | sisting of only three members. Not | one of the 15 towns in Windham coun- ty has more than that number. Only four other towus in the state—Bridge- port, Hartford, Litchfleld, New Haven— share with Klllingly the arrangement of having flve selectmen on their boards. One town, Manchester, runs the number of selectmen up to seven. East Haven manages to worry along with only one selectman, while a few other towns limit the number of such | officials to two or four. | Those who want to reduce the num- ber in Killingly suggest that as the town is divided into three voting dis- tricts it would be a simple proposition to arrange an agreement giving a se- | lectman to each district, no more, 1o | less. They claim that there is perfect | fairness in such a plan and propose to urge it with convincing persistency. As the present board represents the dis- leave Sunday visit other cities in that part of New York state. Arthur Macdonald, tricts, two members come from the First, two from the Third and one from the Second, and the Third district is| the least important from the umn(l-“ point of property assessments and in | number of voters. 4 The reduction, it is further held, would simplify some of Killingly's po- | litical troubles, inasmuch as such a | change, It is said, would eliminate | much of the so-caled jockeylng and | trading of strength that close observ- | ers allege to have felt was occurring ml elections in past years. What proced- | ure will be followed to secure the pro- posed change has not been made clear. | Borough Jottings.
