WILLIMANTIC ‘What 1s Going On Tonight o DREIS SR diestmen s :‘:’ré}‘::a of Aldermen, Ceunci Cham- hmgckl_nfln No. 22, K. of P. HIGH SCHOOL TO OPEN. . 'Fifteen Rooms Will Be Available To- ‘day—Laboratory Equipment on the . Way. _ In spite of the various delays and _drawbacks, the Windham High school {will_open this morning for the first session of the school year and Will be in a position to accommodate 400 stu- dents, the usual enrollment at the be- ginning of the year. This satisfactory adjustment of difficulties is pleasing alfice to the people of the town and to the school officials, and follows upon . \excellent handiing of the situation by those in charge. After the agreement was reached last week between Re- celver John A. Moran of the bankrupt Fenton Building comoany and the high UNDERTAKER and EMBALMER 62 Church 8t, Willimantic, Ct. Lady Assistant JAY M. SHEPARD ‘ 3, Succeeding Elmote & Shepara Funeral DirectorandEmbalmer 60-62 North St., Willimantic Lady Assistant Tel. connection school building committee, represented by M. Eugene Lincoln, permitting tak- ing over the building in its present un- Snished state in order that the town might use such parts as were avail- able, and this had been ratified by the court, preparations were at once mado for the opening of the institution with- out delay. On Sunday, after several days of strenuous work, the last seats Were put in position and the laying of composition floors in several of the corridors was completed. This morn- ing Principal E. A, Case will have 15 rooms of the high school in readiness for the incoming students. Naturally, conditions will be some- what crowded at first, but not enough to interfere to any great extent with teaching efficiency. And as it is be- lieved that about one room-a day can be added by the contractors, the con- gestion will speedily be relieved, par- ticularly when the large hall becomes available for use, as is expected in a few days. Principal Case has learned that the laboratory furniture is on the way and that the tables and other equipment will be here in ten days. It will take an equal amount of time to set them up, but as the laboratory work in the several coupses. is accompanied by Class room exercises, the delay will be no_inconvenience. On the ovening day the aim of the teachers will be merely to get things into running.order and 5o there will be only s short session. Mrs. Arthur P. Dorman Seeks Divorce. Arfhur P. Dorman, who is the pro- prietor of the Gem theatre on Main street, is sued for divorce by his wife, Alice Dorman, and the case is return- able to the superior court of Windham county in this city the first Tuesday in October. Her maiden name' was Alice Deschenes and they were married April 16, 1909. The papers in the case allege that the defendant, between the ddtes of Feb. 12, 1914, and Sept. 8, 1914, committed adultery with Bena Caillouette and that from Sept. 1, 1912, up t® the date of the writ, Sept. 8, 1914, he was guilty of intolerable cruelty to the plaintiff, who asks for divorce, ali» meny and a change of name. “Thread Company’s . _ Clambake. The annual clambake of the Ameri- can Thread company fire brigade was the moving cause of a joyful gath of members and guests on Sunday. The party, numbering 2 couple of hundred, had a jolly outing and a fine feed with the fire fighters as hosts. Mayor Dan- fel P. Dunn, Fire Chief Thomas P. Foley, Town Clerk Frank P. Fenton and ex-Fire Chief Wade U. Webster ‘were among the guests of honor. By the time the bake was opened by the members of the brigade who had it in charge the pleasure makers had de- veloped enormous appetites by reason of baseball, quoit pitching and other diversions, ' The married men lined up against the single. but the reports that came in from the hattle appeared to have been censored. The married men at any rate clalmed victory. The out- ing was held in the company’s grove beyond the No. 4 mill, and place, time and circumstances made the bake a splendid success for the fire brigade. ~ FUNERAL. Mrs. Wilmer Bradbury. Funeral services for Mary Ella Clark, widow of Wilmer Bradbury, were ‘held at 3 o'clocl Sunday after- noon at the chapel of the First Congre- gational church. There was a large attendance of: sorrowing relatives and friends. Rev. William S. Beard, pastor of the church, conducted the services and there were beautiful floral tri utes.

TOWN DEBT $208521. Has Increased Vj“_Which Auditors Pronounce Unavoidable — Recom- mend More System in School Board Bill: Town_ reports just issued show the indebtedness of Killingly to be $208,- 521.42, an increase of $7,344.45 over last years figures. Al hough the town of- ficials in every department have exer- cised every economy consistent with the rendering of good service, they have not been successful in keeping the expenditures down to a point that would prevent an increase of debt. In commenting on this, the auditors, Frank W. Benne t and A. V. Wood- worth, set down in their annual report: “It 1s ‘evident an effort has been made in the past vear to keep cxpenses down to the lowest limit, but in spite of all effort the town debt has in- creased. 1. must not be thought that selectmen or the school committee are responsibie for all expenditures. There are certain things that enter into the expenses of the town, like interest, town court expenses, registrars’ pay ments, health officer’s expenses and salary, state demands for sta.e road, state taxes, etc, that cannot be avoided and are not under the control of any town board, but are required to be paid. The interest rate is con- stanily increasing and in 1920 the town has $125,000 in bonds maturing. the rate of interest on which is now 3 1-2 per cent. When these bonds mature, unless money is very easy, it will be impossible to place them again at any such rate. All new money borrowed is at the rate of 5 per cent. Under these circumstances we believe it to be the duty of the town to lay a tax that will at least pay current ex- penses, and if possible provide a fund that will reduce the amount of the town debt a little each year.,” A summary of expenses in the se- lectmen’s account shows big items as follows for the past year: Highways, $3,768.41; state road and trunk line repairs, '$3,527. bridges, $1,223.24; town’'s share of 1909 appropriation for state roads, 32,5 state road N 8, $38,968.50; town farm, $5,015.91: outside poor, $1,991.94; insane poor, §1,352.23; selectmen’s account, $1,055.90; print- ing, tools, repairs to tools, sprinkling streets, transportation, $1,801.80; state tax, $4135.77. The total of expendi- tures shown under the report of the selectmen, in which is included nu- merous heavy charges over which they have no control, as indicated in the comment of the auditors, is 337, 8. The gross cost of the schools in Kil- lingly, that is, without the rebates from the sfate and other sources, is shown by the report to have been $29,301.33, these figures covering the fiscal year July 31, 1913, July 31, 1914. Teachers and supervisor's services involved an expense of $20, janitors and care of property, $1,751.20; fuel, $1,593.87; supplies, stationery and printing, 31 108.43; ‘text books, $717.58; musi $380: transportation of pupils, $399. repairs, $1,619.4 $550.! committee’s services, enu- PUTNAM Isaac Champeau Store Manager Forty Years — Morrell-Walker Wedding October 1st.—~Firemen's Field Day Officials—Mrs. Howard Cutler Dies Suddenly.

Mrs. Howard Cutler of School Street Expires Suddenly. from Heart Fail- ure. Mrs, Eward Cutler died at her home exercises, $25; town of Putnam, tui- tion, $180; evening school, $40: In commenting on their examination of the school committee’s records tho uditors make the following comment: “We have before called attention to the apparent laxness of the school board in passing bills to be paid. It seems (o us these should be stamped ‘approved’ and signed by the finance committee before payment. As the vouchers are now, there are no marks on the bills that show they have been approved for payment by the proper authority, and in many cases the bills are missing from their jackets, and there is nothing to show the auditors what the orders are for, beyond the record showing what account they are charged up_against. The records of the school board meetings show that certain bills were voted to be paid, but whether all such bills are voted upon we are unable to say. Our recom- mendation is that all bills be approved on their face by the finance commit- tee, and that such bills be on file in their proper Dlace, the same as the bills on file in the selectmen’s office, that we believe are all complete In ev- DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

He found the house a great improvement over what was provided for the giving of entertalnments on his first visit here more tthan forty years ago. During the past two score years he has visited Putnam a number of times with traveling companies. That he has a good memory was indicated by the fact of his recalling all of the different halls in which he played in the city, though he has plaved in thousands of theaters in America and abroad. Mr. Thompson is still in the theatrical business and says he has never yet been obliged to go to a hooking agency to look for work. “I can take care of that part of it my- self,” he said.
