Knight's Statement in Natchaug n to Sheldon's Letter Regarding Building Plans—Mr. Knight Disinterested and Jou on Tuesday of this week saw fit s mine, which you have seen fit to con- strue wrongly. Some two weeks or more ago, Mr. A. N. Sheldon met the committee here at thelr request in the Board of Trade rooms stopping off on his way to New York and went over matters with them, adjournment being at about 12.45 noon. After dinner Mr. Sheldon and I returned to the Board of Trade rooms and completed an analysis of the three plans remaining under con- o sideration. On our return we found at the rooms Mr. J. B. Iullerton (who sh 3 P @ by the way came in as we went to &0 publish an article considerably de- lunch), and a reporter for the Bul- Fogatory to me, ang my work as a | letin. member of the Natchaug schoolhouse | While working out the analysis, Mr. Sheldon came to the conclusion he bullding committee, I trust that you | will be fair enough to give this letter equal publicity.

I objected, say- ing that they and Mr. Donnelly should be required to give in_more detail IN 1913; NO MORE RHEUMATISM Easy to Cure It Now; Also Gout and Sciatica Lee & Osgood Co guarantee RHEU- MA to banish Rh matism or money Dack. sell lots of it.

In this the com- mittee upheld me. and asked both par- tles to submit new bids. Mr. Donnelly has not submitted new figures to my knowledge, but Johnson & Burns of Hartford did so, and their price went nearly $5,000, and they thereby | eliminated themselves as they were by far the highest bidder. From New York the following day Mr. Sheldon wrote me a letter, which | explains the situation better ‘than I | could, and as the public can readily see they had nothing to lose and ev- erything to gain in the stand which T have taken for the Sheldon plans. The substance of the letter follows: Letter from Mr. Sheldon. ¥, P. Sheldon & Son, New York, N. Y., May 13, 1913. Mr. W. B. Knight. | Willimantic, Conn | Dear Sir: T beg leave to present a | few meritorious points in our design | which did not occur to me at the meet- nz with your whole committee yester- | day morning. First, our outside walls e all 16 inches thick, with two inch | our competitors’ air space in center; are only 12 inches, with no air space, and it cannot be conceded that twelve inch walls of elght inch tile plus a veneer of four inch brick, tied in with metal tles is theequal, or equivalent of our sixteen inch hollow wall, in any respect. \ Second: Our foundation walls are all twenty-four inches thick; our com- petitors’ only eighteen inches. Now twenty-four inches is certainly more impervious to moisture than eighteen inches, and it would seem to us unwise to use so thin a wall as eighteen inches at the risk of having a damp basement. Third: We have specified sixty-three als and wash bowls. One competitor has only thirty-eight and the other forty-two. Both of which are too few for proper accommodations for the number of pupils to be served. Fourth: We have specified twenty- iwo telephones; one of our, compet tors has only four, and the Other only nineteen. Fifth: We have specified two hun- dred and seven lights, as against one hundreq and three by one, and one hundred and two by the other com- petitor. Sixth: Our actual glass area in e class room is one-fifth of the floor area, while one competitor has pro- vided actual glass area of only one- seventh of the floor area, and the other one-sixth of the floor area, this de- fect in their plans must appeal to you at once as being too serious to over- look, as ample light in class rooms is | one of the most important things, if not the most important question to be considerel in connection with schoolhouse design. Seventh: Our plans call for a six Toof; both of our competitors spe- five ply only Eighth: Our plans call for a double false ceiling under roof. but we do not find that our competitors do. Such a celling, while adding to the expense, keeps the upper story rooms much cooler in summer, and warm in win- ter, and reduces the heat loss through the roof in winter materially. With- lout the use of the double roof, our competitors must resort to a parapet wall, with all of the risks of leaks and | absorption of water. Tt is conceded generally, that parapet walls should MURRAY'S BOSTON STORE WILLIMANTIC, CONN. 10 Days Sale of Small Notions BEGINS SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 31st Put on your shopping list all the little things needed for Summer Sewing and Summer Dressmaking and get them during this sale while you can save at least one-third oft the usual cost.

Our cefl- ings are flaf, ana we use mo steel beams. _We would further add, that our de- sign _is strictly fireproof, while our compstitors’ design can be called only semi-fireproof, and in this connection we belleve that in view of the fact that | from the beginning we contemplated a fireproof building, while such build- | ing was only an after thought of our | competitors; this point should be giv- en due consideration. | . _If you criticise the exterior as be- ing too plain and severe, we can read- ily' modify this in many ways to suit Your committee. We perhaps con- strued the stipulation in your pro- gram too literally, where you stated that the design must be plain and simple. Very truly yours, F. P. SHELDON & SON, A.'N. Sheldon. Not Intended for Publication. The article in the Norwich Bulletin of last Monday morning was no doubt due to the ever present reporter’s anx- fety for a scoop. On Sunday as I was attending to some church matters, and with thoughts for them alone, the re- porter for the Bulletin asked me three or four questions to which I thought- lessly replied, and then realizing that the information should have come for publication from the chairman of the committee, I asked the reporter to not publish anything from me, but to see Mr. Taylor for information, which he promised to do, At a committee meet- ing held the day the article appeared, I explained this to the committee and later the reporter told me that he tolg Mr. Taylor the same thing. T have no apology to offer for Mr. Sheldon or his ability. His work is with us in_the Tndustrial bullding, which both Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Rossi have {0ld me is the best one they have. The addition to the Windham Silk company is his work also. If schoolhouse architects only can plan schoolhouses' (and the former high school is a sample of the plan- ning of a firm of the most prominent amongst them), then I believe we should be delivered from the hands of schoolhouse architects. In glosing let me say that T nor lose not one penny, save in ation alone, no matter whose plans are selected. Yours truly, W. B. KNIGHT. Kept Agreement with Mr. Knight. [The Bulletin representative, In har- mony with the agreement made with Mr. Knight, endeavored to sea Mr. Taylor, the chairman of the building committee, before the publication of the Bulletin’s news Monday morning, but Mr. Tavlor was out of town and could not be seen. In an Intarview with Mr. Taylor Monday morning the Bulletin reporter fully explained to the tisfaction of the chafrman of the Natchaug school building committee the situation and agreed with Mr. Tay- lor to coma to him for the news con- cerning the new Natehaug sehool building.] For Memorial Day. This forenoon delegations of Fran- cis S. Long post, G. A. R, Spanish War Veterans. and Sons of Veterans, are to go to North Windham, Wind- ham Center, and St. Joseph's ceme- teries, where Memorial day exercises are to be held and the graves of vet- erans will be decorated.

Vernon Tucker and names’of proper persons to act in that capacity will be submitteq tomorrow. The mother of young Tucker opposes the petition and Attorney P. J. Danahey, her counsel, will take an appeal from Judge Shea’s decision to the superior court. Buys 160-Acre Farm.

Judge Bowen Sues for Alleged Injury to His Tree. The civil action of Judge A. J. Bowen vs. the Willimantic Gas and Blectric Light Co., was tried before Judge Shumway at the session of the superior court Thursday. Judge Bowen brought a suit for $500 damages against the company who, he claims, without his permission erected wires for the tran: mission of electricity and attached in- sulators to the branches of a tree in front of his residence on Prospect street. The wires came in contact with the branches and burned several of them so that they broke off. This caused a permanent injury to the tree, says the plaintiff, which was a val- uable ornament and shade tree. The defendants entered a general denial and on May 27 filed an offer of juds- ment, being willing to give Judge Bowen judgment to recover $50. This was not accepted by the plaintiff. Judge Bowen outlined his claim in his testimony and stated he claimed $300 damages. Mitchell Laramee, tree war- den, ex-Mayor D. C. Barrows, Alder- man Jackson. H. E. Peckham, estimateq the damage to Judge Bowen's property all the way from $100 to $300. The defendant com- pany introduced the superintendent and lineman of the company to state the construction of the wires and the insulators. They stated that the eve- ning when the limb of the tree caught fire was stormy and windy, conducive Gurley, S. Arnold | to_the transmission of sparks and the wires of other companies ran through the tree. The tree specialist of the Connecticut Agricultural college tes- tified that with proper trimming and care the elm tree damaged could be made symmetrical and that in three years' time the tree would grow to its former size and beauty, an acoom. plishment that wouldscost between $30 and §40.
