First Selectman John A. Gilbert Is of the opinion that no state road building will be done in Killingly this year, for the very good reason that there is no appropriation available from the state’s money for the pur- pose, the last state apportionment having been exhausted. There is, of course, a chance that the state might do something in the way of a new appropriation to become available for use this year, in conjunction with an appropriation’ from the town, but it does not seem likely that any state road construction will be done here until 1916 at the earliest.

Fisher of Putnam WANTED BY WOONSOCKET. Wendell A. Mowry Elected Superin- tendent of Schools There, at a Sal- ary of $2,500. Wendell Mowry was elected by a unanimous vote of the board of edu- cation of the city of Woonsocket at a meeting Tuesday evening to be su- perintendent of schools in that city at a salary of $2,500, an increase of $500 over the salary that Mr. Mowry has received since coming to Putnam last summer as school superintendent. While-it is possible that Mr. Mowry will go to Woonsocket there is nothing positive about this yet. In the first place the salary at which the Woon- sdcket board elected Mr. Mowry is an advance of $500 a year over the salary thet the city paid the late Frank E, McFee, who was superintendent of schools in Woonsocket for 29 years, and this advance must be approved by the eity council before it can be- come _effective; in the second place, Mr, Mowry is not willing to leave abruptly, as he stated Wednesday aft- ernoon, a town that has given him such a cordial welcome and such united support as he has received in Putnam, and this consideration welghs heavily with Mr. Mowry. In discussing his election Wednes- day afternoon Mr. Mowry said that it came to him absolutely unsolicited. He did not announce himself a candidate for the place, nor malke any effort to secure it. Mr. Mowry's parents moved to Woonsocket when he was four years of age and for the next twenty years he lived there, attending the city's graded and high schools and being a student under Superintendent McFee, whom he has been elected to succeed. It continued to be his home during th time he was a student at Brown university. During all the years that he was a resident of Woonsocket it the plan Wednesday and stated that the developmen: of the scheme rests Withd the advertising committee and some of the officials who are to work it out at once.

Every dollar that goes out of Dan- lelson that could be spent here to ad- vantage—and thousands of that class of dollars.go out of town every year —is a dollar taken from the wealth of the town, and at least ten cents net profit from someone.

When he_ left there to teach and during the fourteen years that he was superintendent of schools in Central Falls, these friendships were retained. Central Falls is not dist from Woonsocket and the school problems of the two cities are much the same. All these considerations were among the many things that led to the sug gestion of Mr. Mowry’s name by his friends for the office of superintendent of schools in Woonsocket and found hearty favor with the- bo: , result- ing in_his unanimous election, even after Mr, Mowry had laid special stress on the fact that he was not anxious to leave Putnam and would not do so anyway for the salary that the Woonsocket position has been pay- ing. The board of education in Woon- socket overruled all of his objections and elected him in spite of himself, as_it were. Mr. Mowry may go to Woonsocket. If he does, Putnam will lose one of the best superintendents that any town in Connecticut can claim, and there will be widespreag regret here over his going away. INVESTIGATING POLICE EFFICIENCY Common Council Hears Explanation of Officer Cordier Regarding Two Breaks at Milot & Williams’. At the regular meeting of the com- mon council Tuesday evening, with Mayor Macdonald presiding, Alder- men Dady, Johnson, Marcy, Byrne, Duvert, Padget, Bouthillette and La- Rue were present. The resignation of Howard C. Brad- ford, assistant prosecuting attorney, was received and accepted. His bond as deputy judge and clerk of the city court was also received and accepted. The police report showed ten ar- rests during February, two prison- ers were sent to jail; electric light out 180 hours and store doors found open and secure: Permits were granted Peter Boncer for dwelling on Grove Terrace, Arthur Bessinet house on Church street, Er- nest Lauzouzy two story house on Boulevard Terrace, A communication was Mansfleld Hose company, No. 3, re- cently consolidated w hose com- pany, No. 7, in which it was set forth that ‘the hose wagon and much of the apparatus thereon had been purchased by members of the company with their own money and that as the companies had no further use for it, the members felt that the city should purchase it and a price of 3250 was fixed. The matter was referred to the fire com- mittee, The mayor appointed ex-Mayor John J. McGarry a member of the board of water commissioners, his term of office to expire in January, 1916, read from Hearing Given Police. The hearing given the police re- garding the matter of the breaks at the store of Milot & Williams was then taken up. It was thought that the hearing would bring out a number of citizens, but there were very few present. Mr. Milet, senior member of the firm, stated that the store was broken into January 13th and again a week later. Some of the goods were recovered, but he claims he has lost $500 worth of merchandise. Barraz Smith testified that he lives across the street from the store. That about 3 o'clock in the morning his wife awakened him and told him there was someone in Milot & Wil- Tiams' store, He telephoned the police station and Officer Cordier, answered. He told the officer he thought someone had broken into the store and the officer said he would come right over anq bring a dog with him and he did. When the man saw the officer coming he Tan up the street. The officer looked in the store door and then went up the street. He did not tell Mr_ Cordier that there was a man in the store. After the officer left, the man came back and he saw clothes thrown over the transom of the door and two men run with bundles under their arms. He telephoned the police again. Mem- bers of the council were allowed to ask the witnesses question: but when some questions were asked as to why witness acteq ag~he did, this line of inquiry was ruled out by the mayor as he said no person was on trial but an attempt to get the facts of what did happen was the only purpose of the inquiry. Wallace Smith, son of the former witness, said, in addition to facts told by his father, that he could see a man outside the store. That when anyone was coming the man on the outside made a signal and the man on the side would hide. Thecdore Boulay said he met Offi- cer Cordier on his way to the store. The officer stopped him and said that here was a robbery going on at Milot & Willlams’ store. Witness told the officer that he had jlist come by the store and saw nothing going on thete. Questioning Officer. Officer Cordier testified that he reached the station house a lttle after 3 o'clock and called up the central telephone office as required by the rules and central told him there had been no call for the police. Within a few minutes the telephone rang and it was Barrak Smith. Mr. Smith said to him that there was some deviltry going on in front of the store and he answered that he would be right down ang would bring a dog with him. Smith told him he would be on the lookout for him. The officer told of meeting Boulay, the previous wit- ness. When he turneq into Elm street he saw a man in front of the store and the man walked away leisurely as he turned the cormer. He at first thousht it was Sergeant Hayes. When he arrived at the store he tried the door, locked at all of the windows and found that none was broken. Went in between the building and the next one ang then back on the other side, but could find nothing. He made a second examination and finding every- thing apparently all right went on his beat in the north end of the ci.y with his mind abssolutely at rest.
