TO ASK FOR $150,000. Committee on New High School to Recommend That Sum at Tonight’ Maeting—Sufficient to Cover Entire Cost. - Approximaely 1.200 women voters in the town of Windbam have the right %0 edst their ballots at the speclal town meeting this evening. As no matter is of more vital interest to their sons and daughters than the school .a very large number of women will undoubtedly attend _tonight’ meeting. The school committee at a Spocial mesting invited George I ‘aylor and Jeremiah O'Sullivan, both Practical contractors of large experi- ence and broad views. to make recom- mendations concerning a new high school building. W. B. Knight, agent | of the Quidnick-Windham company, one of the largest manufacturing con cerns in the city, and who many would like to see head the citizen's ticket for mavor next fall, w: so present. Mr. Kapight submitted a plan by F. P. Sheldon & Son of Providence, R. L. for the reconstruction of the old Windbam High school, by which plan the school could be reconstructed for $35,000 to $90.000. The old foundations of the wchool would be used and the building Would be erected practically along the Same lines as the old one. There were some features about this plan which the committee did not like. The plan for an entirely new building to meet the demands for at least 25 years was discussed, and finally it was decided that & new school building as desiced | eould not be erected and furnished for | saech lesa than $150,000. It was fig- wured that the building alone would cost about $125.000. This meanse a fireproof structure. Messrs. Taylor and O’Sullivan thought the committes should not ask for less than $150,000. A resolution was adopted to be presented at the special meeting tonight asking for an ropriation of $150.000 and that the chalrman of the meeting appoint a committee to retire and bring in a list to the town meeting of a committee of five to act as building committee and I DON'T CARE where you buy your ice if I gut your hair.

Halt a dozen insurance adjusters were in Willimantic Monday forenoon, to adjust the loss on the Windham High school bullding totally destroyed Dby fire April 27. Bugene S. Archer was the chairman of the committee representing all- the companies; the other adjusters present were Joseph W. Russell, H. J. Hill. Harold S. Guy, Patrick Cosgrove and C. C. Hannah. The local agents, the selectmen and Town Counsel Thomas I. Kelly, were present at the meeting at the Select- men’s room at the town building, Plans of the bullding were submitteq. and Principal E. A. Case submitted an | itemized statement of the furnishings and equipment, the valye of these be- ing based on the actual amount paid for them as indicated by the vouch- ®rs in the office of Town Treasurer Frank P. Fenton. Chairman Archer asked Town Counsel Kelley, in whose agency the $45,000 of the $76,000 in- surance was placed, what he believed to be the cause of the fire. Mr. Ko ley replied there were many theories but the cause was unknown, When Mr. Kelley, who was a member of the building committee, was asked if the town would stand for the report “prob- ably defective wiring but unknown,” Mr. Kelley emphatically said he would not ‘consent to the clause defeotive wiring. -Chairman Archer announced | that the committee decided to allow the town the total insurance of $76,- 000, $4,000 of which was for furnish- ings and equipment which Prinelpal se's inventory showedcost $5,000. The insurance men stated fhat school buildings had proved to be the most unprofitable risks for the com- panies, there being 74 school build- ings destroved by fire within the past ear. The citizens are well satisfied with the spirit of fairness the insur- ance committee displaved in adjust- ing this serious losg to the town. Confer Rank of Page.

Voted at City Meeting—Work of Tax Collector Costello Wins Commenda- tion, Mayor Dunn's municipal ice baby had a touch of colic and was given a dose of soothing syrup at the city meeting Monday evening. A Keen tax- paver asked Corporation Counsel Kel- ley it he had Included the receipts the city’s ice plant in his reg- ular resume of Willimantic's financial budget. The city's legal advisor re- torted by characterizing the remark as sarcastlc and dropped the like a hot potato. The meeting was devoid of other spice, Corporation counsel Kelley gave a statement of the city's financial con- dition and sald a five mill tax would be sufficient for this year's needs. He complimented Tax Collector Costallo's work in securing $60,098.63 of the $61,- 575.10 due on the 1911 tax laid and his resolution for a five mill tax payable June 2-was voted, W. C. Norris, John E. Brick, M. E. Lincoln and others asked Lawyer Kel- léy questions concerning the financial oblizations and resources of the city which were answered. The propos tion to give the permanent control of a portion of Main street to the state was laid_on the table. Corporation Counsel Kelley thought if the state highway commission assumed control the eity would still be liable for dam- in cases of accidents. No aciion was taken on oiling and watering the streets, the street com- mittes having approximately $1,300 balance of the appropriation for that purpose still to expend. It was the of the meeting ‘that the city tives Bugbee and Kelley to secure leg- islative action for the amendment of the city charter so that the abuttors could be assessed for oiling and sprinkling the streets, The city coun- cil will meet at the call of Mavor Dunn this evening to pass a vote ask- e Best Medicine for Colds.
