THE HIGH SCHOOL MUDDLE. $8,000 Due Contractors from Town “Held Up by Legal Delays—Receiver J. A..Moran Trying to Straighten Out Complications, The situation in regard to the com- Pletion of the new Windham High school remains in the words of one of the town officials, “a mixed-up mess. After a week or ten days’ delay, there is not any nearer approach to an agreement between the receiver of the Fenton Building company, and the town officials and the building com- mittee, 5 on reading Thursday morning’s Willimantic news in the Bulletin, Re- ceiver John A. Moran of Norwich im- mediately got in touch ‘with the Wil- limantic officials by telephone and later in the day came to this city, in the hope of arriving at some arrange- mént which would permit the work of completing the building to be done. Nothing definite was settled, however. “"Mr. Moran made it plain that he was desirous of going ahead with the work, both that the creditors of the Fenton Building company might get whatever they were entitled to on its completion, and also that the people, of this city-and_ vicinity might have the use of their handsome new bulld- ing as soon as possible. To complete the job, however, money is necessary, and Mr: Moran stated that there was in the|neighborhood of $8,000 due the company, which on account of legal oomplications- had been held up by the town. If this amount could be se- cured, the work could be proceeded with rapidity, and two weeks or SO would make a vast difference in the puildinig. Delay in. Turning Over 'Money. .My, Moran stated that he was up Bere a week ago, and at ‘that time was told that the money could not be turned over because there were at- ments on it, but if he would re- t the following day with a release of the attachments, which were placed on:by Thayer and James of Norwich, he could get a check. This was done, But Mr. Moran was then Informed by Corporation Counsel Kelley, with whom he had talked on the préevious day, that he would have to see the building committee before any money could he turned over. This he proceeded to dos and learned that that committee was Waiting for the architect to return to town before they took any steps in the matter. Borrowed Money to Keep. Men Work- ing. In_ordey to keep men working at the building, Mr. Moran went out and ‘barroweq a thousand dollars last week but that process cannot be conttnued indefinitely, A " Wnhnile in this city Thursday the re- ceiver had a conference with Cor- DR F.

He then learnred that the building com- mittee had_a meeting Wednesday, at which Mr. Mitchell was not present on account of absence from town. No arrangement looking toward an agree- ment with the receiver was made at the meeting, 80 far as he could ascer- tai; n. The situation in this city is not very clear. Selectman Mitchell was not present at the meeting of the building committee, and Corporation Counsel Kelley stated that he was only acting in an advisory capacity for the town, and had nothing to say in regard to the matter. 5 Await Architect’s Return, M. Eugene Lincoln, secretary of the building committee, stated that the committee held 2 meeting Wednesday, and that they were awaiting the return of the architect, who is expected back today, before taking any definité stand. He said, however, that the matter of payment of the eight thousand dollars whic¢h the receiver is tryinfi to ébtain, was one with which the building com- mittee had no concern, but was up to the selectmen, Just what will be done it is there- fore impossible to forecast. Both Prin- cipal Case and the members of the town school committee are anxious for the high school. to open, and the cit- izéns of Willimantic have the same feeling. The receiver states that he is ready to go ahead and finish the work. On the other hand there 18 no doubt that the selectmen, the building committes and all who are_ officially interested in the matter here, are safe- guarding the interests they represent. However, the high school is not com- pleted. and it is necessary for all par- ties concerned to geét together in some way pretty soon, if the delay is not to be too protracted.
