Fourteen Citizens Attend Special City Meeting Which Lasts Five Minutes. Only one over a baker’s dozen of the voters of Willimantic was interested enough to attend the special meeting called for Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock to lay the city tax. Fiye mills was decided upon, to be due June 1, 1915. The meeting lasted but five min- utes. Mayor Dunn was in the chair, and after the warning had been read by City Clerk A. C. Scripture, Corpora- tion Counsel Charles A. Capen ex- plained that the floating indebtedness of the city was $17,000 and the amount of the appropriations for this year $87,- 850. It had been estimated by the mayor, the clerk and himself that about $80,905 would be the amount actually expended this year, which with the floating indebtedness made a total of $97.905 to be raised by tax. A five mill tax would bring $88,060, with the $3,500 cash on hand, while a five and one-half mill tax would just clear up all of the bills and floating indebt- edness. The resolution making the tax five mills was then carried, and the meet- ing adjourned. STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE. Twleve Year Old Alice Jones Has Her Elbow Fractured. Alice, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Jones, of Moun- tain street, was knocked down and se- vereiy injured by an automobile owned and driven by W, W. Palmer of Chest- nut Hill about 8.30 Monday morning near the corner of Main and_ Bridge streets. - She was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital, where it was found that her left elbow had been fractured and there were severa] bruises on her body. It will not be known before this morn- ing whether or not there are any in- ternal injuries. The young girl, with her brother, was going from her home to school when the accident happened, and they started to cross Bridge street. A ped- dler’s wagon hid them from the sight of Mr. Palmer, who drove from Main to Bridge street about that time. The boy went back to the sidewalk, but the girl evidently became confused, as she started back across the road to her brother, and was hit by the fender of A SPECIAL OF HOUSE from the fire sale The collection Murray's Boston Store WILLIMANTIC, CONN.

HOME FOR THE AGED Will Be Erected on Land Purchased on Windham Road. As a result of a recent purchase of land on ‘Windham road, the home for the aged promises to become an actu- ality. This has been talked of for some time in this city and given an impetus by the legacy left for that purpose by Hannah T. Card, who died in October of last year. “The property purchased is what is known as the Willimantic Gun club property and consisis of two strips of land on the proposed McDermott ave- nue and Frances street. One strip has a frontage on the avenue of 633 feet and about the same depth. The other fronts on the avenue 55 feet and on Frances street 142 feet. It is on a hill but a short distance from the trolley and an ideal location for such an institution. The money with which the land was bought is no part of the Card fund, which is still in settlement in the pro- bate court, but is the result of hard work on the part of the King’s Daugh- ters and Sons of this city, who have worked for this project for some time. Plans for the erection of buildings are not yet complete. Under the will of Mrs. Card, the trustees of the home are Herbert R. Chappell, Samuel Chesbro, Rev. Willlam S. Beard, Mrs. Helen Battey Brown and William A. Arnold. OBITUARY. Edward Racicot.
