N. G. That this feeling is not confined “omnecticut is shown by the fact djutant generals and inspectors inspectors for the guards of many states are advocating the pay bill. Secretary of War Garrison is one ob- jector to the inauguration of the scheme and his objection or disap- proval of the bill is sufficient to cause its being side tracked. The plan is to pay the private mil- tiamen 95 cents per drill of total for a drill season of $45. Non-com- migsioned officers and officers would be paid according to rank. To draw the old men the pay the guardsmen would have to_qualify to specified percentages in drills, rifle practice and study of es- ser ials.

VOTES 12 1-2 MILLS FOR TOWN TA Annual Meeting Makes Rate One Mill More Than Selectmen il Had Recommended—Otis Library Appropriation, Acad- emy Tuition, Canterbury Road l:ig'hh and Deuglass Hill Road Repairs In the Extras Voted—Medical Supervision For Schools Indefinitely Pellpane(i : The annual tewn meeting on Tuesday evening, convening as usual at a date adjourned from the day of the town election, veted a town tax of 12 1-2 mills for the mnext year, which was one miil more than that recommended in the selectmen’s an- nual report. In the items of ex- penses estimated by the selectmen, but ene change was made and that was to cut dewn the amount for the almshouse from $7,500 to $7,000. Bx- tras were voted in the total ameunt of $23,375. Last year the town %x was 11 3-4 mills. There was an attendance of about 200 in the town hall for the meeting. First Selectman A, W. Lillibridge called It to order at 8 o'clock and up- on nomination of William H. Shields, A. S. Spalding w elected moderator and took the chair. Town Clerk Hol- brook kept the minutes Special Meeting - First, The first business was the special town meeting ealled in consequence of and as a_way of settling the tie on the vote for constable between David R, Kinney and Myer Blumenthal in thie recent town election. Town Counsel Thomas M. Shields explained that the town meeting could appoint any number of patrolmen who would have power in criminal matters, but nome in civil process, and would be paid only by fees, making no e: pense to the town. He offered a resolution to authorize the selectmen to appoint such num- ber as patrolmen as they consider necessary, all in accordance with the statute. It was voted. This con- cluded the business of the special meeting. It is understood now that the selec men will app Kinney a patrol- man who W ercise his dutles as needed at Norwich Town and that Mr. Blumenthal will receive the place as seventh constable on the list Regular Adjourned Meeting. Moderator Spalding then called the regular adjourned town meeting to order and Town Clerk Holbrook read the call The printed report of the selectmen was accepted on motion of T. M. Shields and the repor of the other town officers printed with the select- men’s were accepted. Counsels For Economy. Edward Kirby inquired if the se- lectmen had figured what the tax would be if all the items in the call were voted, and was told that it was impossible to do so _as all the flgures are not available. Mr. Kirby warned the meeting not to make a record for high taxation towards which this meeting seemed headed. Cut Down Almshouse Appropriation. On the estimate of $7,500 for alms- house, Albert Boardman asked why it was more than last year and Mod- erator Spalding said it was because of some repairs needed to be made. Dr. Cassidy moved the acceptance of the item and Mr. Boardman amended to make It $7,000. Dr. Cassidy said we Wwanted no picayune economies. Mr. Kirby advised to do pruning at the start and seconded the amendment. The amendment was voted. Sums Asked For Were Voted. For outside poor, Mr. Boardman moved that $9,500 be voted instead of §10,500 as asked. The figure was com- pared with $10,261 last vear and Mr. Boardman withdrew his motion and moved the asked for amount which was voted. The sum of $9,700 was asked for insane account and this was voted, as was 33,300 for neglected and de- pendent children. For $15,000 for highways (City of Norwich) the action was favorable and also for $12,000 for highways out- side the city. For macadam repairs $4500 was asked and voted, and $1,500 for oiling roads. The sums of 7 $9,000 for DPdges, and $8,000 for contingent ac- count were adopted, after the mod- erator had explained for S. S. Thresher what contingent account meant. For interest $11,000 2 ked and voted, $3,500 for ' election expense, E3 00 for registry vital statistics, $4, 500 for National guard, $500 for town $6,500 for property tax for sinking fund, $2.- 000 for' tuberculosis account, $300 for probate district expense, $23,419.74 for state tax, and $11,709.87 for county tax. Argument Over Outside Street Lights Mr. Boardman moved an amendment to strike out the $900 for street light- ing outside the city. He said he could not see why the city people should pay account, this if the people in - the town don’t want (o come into the city. He said it was not justice to residents of the city to vote this amount for lights for the benefit of the townspeople. There was amotion to lay the ‘dfendment on'the table, and Col. John P. Murphy spoke in favor of voting the -original amount, as the town peo- ple paid for the city privileges they get in water service and other thing. He said he thought the opposition to coming into the, city was largely be- ause the matter ‘had not be n intelli- gently presented to the residents of the town. Lights Went Out. Just as _Colonel Murphy finished speaking the electric lights in the hall all went out, but flashed on again in a minute, while the crowd enjoyed a laugh and waited for the return of the electric current. An unsteady individual from Nor- wich Town contributed a humorous touch when he asked whether th a city meeting or a town meetin later had to be threatened by erator/ Spalding with ejectment from the meeting. At one time later he stayed on his feet and kept talking pointing a wavering finger towards the moderator to emphasize his remarks, | till Moderator Spalding threatened per- he sat Then the sonally to eject him unles down ard storped talking. ‘man subsided Mr. Boardman claimed that as long as the people of the city were to give the people of the town something for nothing they never would come in. ‘There was a rousing vote to approve the $900. The total voted to this point was $167,829.61, or $500 less than had been asked by the selectmen, Report on Technical High School. Joseph T. Fanning made a report for a committee appointed u year ago on the matter of establishing a._technical high school in the town. The report, &lven elsewhere in this lssue of The Bulletin, was applauded, und Dr, Pat- rick Cassldy moved u vote of thanks o the committee, which was passed, Albert Bourdman moved to aceede to the recommendation of the committee to refer the report to the town school committee, und he spoke for the edu- catlon for tradesmen us not everybody expects to be a doctor, lawyer or min- ister, We want lo care the mass of people who have fo enter the com- mon walks of life, Dr, Patrick Cassidy raised a laugh when he seconded motion, saying that he recegnized how lazy (he pry fessional men were, especially the doc- tore S, S. Thresher criticised referring the matter Lo the town school commit- tee, and Mr. Fanning explained that according to the statute that was the only way te de it. The metlon was carried. Salaries Voted. Salaries were voted as follows: First selectman, $2,100; second selectman, $200; third selectman, $300; town clerk, $200; town treasurer, $1,600; three as- sessors, $3,000; tax colfector, 1 per cent. of the total amount collected by him, all the same as last year, Autherity to Borrow. The town was aiso authorized te borrow not to exceed $125,000 as need- ed for lawful obligations in the year. School Budget Approved. The budget of the town school com- mitee was next taken up and voted as follows: Salarfes, $88,669; fuel, sup- plles and sundries, $14,500; interest, $2,850; repairs, $9,888.08; insurance, $875; ‘evening school, 3500; & total of $117.382.08, all as asked for. Extras Taken 'Up. The next financial items taken up were the extras in the call for the meeting. For State Aid for Roads. Town Counsel T. M. Shields explain- ed the application of the-$1,000,000 ap- propriated by the last legislature for state aided roads, by which if the town gets $20,000 the town will be required to pay $5000. He presented a motion of the town's Intent to expend §0 much money as to receive' the $20,000 from the state, and directing the town treas- urer to pay the $5.000, if the town gets $20,000 of the state aid. . It was voted. It was moved to indefinitely post- pone an_appropriation of $75 to care for five lights on the Canterbury road. John McJennett said the lights had been there five vears, and Dr. Patrick Cassidy spoke for the lights. The mo- tion to postpone was lost and the $76 then voted. L. O. Smith presented a_resolution for the appropriation of $4.500 for the Otis library, with the usual require- ments for an annual report from the library irusees. It was voted. For Academy Term Bills. J. B. Stanton offered a resolution and moved the adoption for the ap- propriation of a sum not to exceed $13,000 to pay term fees for pupils in the Norwich Free Academy. Former Councilman John T. Ryan gave his opinion that the town ought to have a representative on the Acad- emy trustees, \inasmuch as it was vot- ing this money. He was told by the moderator that this was not a matter over which the town meeting had con- trol. To a question from Mr. Plaut, Mr. Stanton replied that the amount of money mentioned was expected to pro- vide for not less than 420 pupils nor more than_450 Rev. E. S. Worcester called attention to the fact that this money was not paid to the trustees of the Academ: but really to the parents of the pupi to reimburse them for the sum they paid for their children. The vote for the appropriation was passed. For Road on Plain Hill. The motion to appropriate not to exceed $800 to straighten and widen the Plain Hill road at Douglass Hill was offered by Daniel Peck. Mr. Board- man said the road had a dangerous curve and rocks in jt, and was a dan- gerous spot. Dr. Cassidy commended the appropriation, and it passed, Medical Supervision. Dr. P. J. Cassidy presented the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That"the appointment of physicians and nurs for the public schools is hereby sanctioned and r ommended, and the sum not to exceed $2,000 is hereby appropriated to cover the expenses Incurred thereby; pro- vided, however, that no part of said sum shall be paid to any physician as compensation for services rendered by him under said appointment. Mr, Boardman got to his feet and asked how the doctors were to be paid, if not for their services, nd S. Thresher interjected the remark that he hoped the matter would be voted down at once. Mr. Boardman went on to say that he was not an opponent of the matter, and he told of own child’'s experi- ence with defective eyesight in scholo. Mr. Boardman told the citizens In the meeting that not nine out of ten of those present knew anything about medical supervision, und they ought to listen and learn rather than vote it down unheard. Dr. Cassidy Explains. Dr. Cassidy, who offered the resolu- tion, took the floor to explain the mat- ter. The meeting was nolsy and disinclin- |ed to hear him when he started, but | his clear statement of the case won and held their attention and he was applauded when he concluded. He | spoke of the statute which gave the {school board the power to provide for inspection. On the point of compen- sation, he said he had the promise of a number of prominent physicians of all schools of practice to do the wor reguired without pay. The money ask- ed for in the resolution would be for nurses. There should be no more com pulsion than under the present rules and regulations. Dr. Cassidy referred o a case of smallpox in the Occum school, wherein the child was in school last Wednesday, Thursdey and | part of Friday, with an eruption, and on Saturday the disease was pro- nounced smallpox. The teacher needs some medical authority and backing in | sending a child home on_account of suspicion indications. The doctor spoke |of the scarlet fever epidemic in Nor- wich schools last vear, from which there were six deaths, and in which, he said, at least twenty of the cases couid have been prevented by any sort of medical supervision. Frank D. Davis asked why it was necessary to spend this money when we had health regulations, if the teach- ers were intelligent. Dr. Cassidy replied that in this case the teacher was of high intelligence, but she needed the backing of medical authority. Bernard FEnright remarked that it was protty near time that the teach- er was glven authority, and he moved to indefinitely postpone the matter, which was voted with a ripple of ap- plause. Tax Rate Voted. A tax rate of 121-2 mills was vot- ed as the concluding act of the mesting, which adjourned shortly . before 10 o'clock, ELECTION EXPENSES, Candidates and Treasurers Make Re- port of Expenditure Town Clerk Charles S, Hotbrook has had filed with him further reports of election expenses in the town election.

The man had been one of the strikers at the Brainerd & Arm- strong mills, but no dumage had been done in the assault charged. The blow was struck with the open hand.

The eighteenth annual convention of the Connecticut Branch of the Inter- national Order of King’s Daughters and Sons opened its two days pro- copal church, Tuesday forenoen with copal church, Tuesday afternoon with an attendance which filled the audi- torlum of the church to its capacity. This is the third gathering of the con- vention in this city. The pulpit was attractively decorated with palms, pot- ted plants and fall flowers and behind the platform was the word Welcome in evergreen on a white backsround with a purple border. Leaders’ Conference.

The report of the auditor was given followed by the report of the state president, Mrs, William H. Dawley, who made some suggestions rezard- ing the sending of dues and member- ship lists to the county treasurers and the accurate keeping of accounts. The -executive board she. said held three meetings, onc very short one| directly after the convention last fall, | and two all day sessions. The greater | part of one of these was given o pre- paring the amendments to the consti- tution which were printed in the call and which you will be asked to vote upon tomorrow. There are very many changes, so many that if they are aii accepted it will be necessary to print new constitutions . but. most of theni are caused either by the change in title now permitted for your first of- ficer—*president” for ~“state secre- tary” or by the proposed addition of two vice presidents to the board. This is not 4 new and sudden decision. It had been talked of in previous years and your former president, Mrs, Sneath, lett with us the recommenda- tion that there should be a vice pre. ident and we have decided that (o ready for all emergencies so far poskible we will ask for two. Your president attended and had some part In all the county confer- ences. . It was very pleasant to meet the “Daughters” in the different of the state and inspiring to hear of the varied work they are doing, from motorcycles for missionaries in Japan to conservation of births in Connecti- cut: assisting a widow with many children to live decently or giving to Dr. Grenfell for his great work in La- be as brador; establishing hospitals and homes or hanging Maybaskets and taking people driving; things great and things little. We regret that Mrs, Forbes' health will not perrait her to continue ths work for two countles, but we fes that It may be as well now that Litch- fleld should have its own secretary Mrs. Forbes will continue the care of Hartford county so will not be lost to_the executive board.
