Mr. Fenton said that all bidders would be requested to sukmit a statement of the prices which would be charged the students at the school and the quality of the food pro- posed to be furnished. A form of pro- posal been drawn up by Lawyer Kelley and this was submitted to the committee. The report of this special committee made by Mr. Fenton was accepted and it was voted to have the sams committee handle the lunch ques- tion and call for bids for the conces- sion. Mrs. Spaulding informed the commit- tee that J. L. Harroun, principal of Natchaug grammar school, bhad sug- gested that it would be advisable fo have the grounds north of the school building fenced in and grass seed planted. At present, because of the fact that there is no fence, people are walking over the grounds, and if this ipetus | is continued paths will be established and the appearance of the grounds marred. The sentiment of the mem- bers who expressed themselves rela- tive to this metter was that nothing much could be done now relative to the planting of seed, but the matter was referred to the building and re- Ppairs committee with power. Another matter which Mrs. Spauld- ing called to the attention of the com- mittee, at request of Principal Harroun, was that in_the fifth, sixth and seventh grades of Natchaug school the prospects were that there would Dbe from 54 to 56 children in each grade this fall. This was too much for the teachers to handle with satisfactory results. His idea was that some of the children could be taken from all three grades and have a teacher handle three classes. The matter was refer- red to the teachers’ committee with power to engage another teacher to handle this additional room. The matter of giving Principal E. A. Case of the Windham High school power to engage a substitute teacher to take thaplace of teachers on sick leave was, b up by Mrs. Spaulding. She said that by an arrangement with H. Clinton_Lathrop of the teachers’ committee Mr. Cage had engaged Miss Doris French at the last term of school to assist the corps of regular teachers because of illness on the part of some of the teachers. Mrs. Spaulding felt that high school teachers like the grad- ed schaol teachers should be allowed sick léave with pay. No action was on this matter by the committee.

Bedard Taken Iil On Train, Putnam Barbers' local, which | o) is 1o are that its experience with such rain has not been dupli- cated for many many years. Heralded by ominous banks of heavy dark clouds and salvos of thunder that rumbled with incessant threats of what was fo come, the storm began to gather soon after the noon hour. It was some time later before the full fury of the onslaught was felt, but when it did come old inbabitants didn’t have much to say about sum- mer storms that nsed to occur in. this section. ‘While the lightning flashed steadily and the thunder roared, Old Jupiter Pluvius opened up with everything he had in the shop and in a very few minutes there were those who began to wonder if a boat wouldn't prove a handy thing to have about the house. The water fell in almost a solid wall and so heavy was the downpour at tmes as to make it almost impossible to _see haif a block distant. The city’s surface drains were never intended to care for such a rush of water-as began to run down the streets within ten minutes after the storm had reached its height, so the surplus began to accummulate ai low points. From Front, South Main and School street district young rivers, born as if by magic, rushed for the low points under the railroad bridge over Front street and in a quarter of an hour that whole section was four feet un- der water. Drivers who attempted to drive through the flood found their horses wading up to their shoulders, Great quantities of earth were wash- ed off the north railroad embankment, which is steep at this point, down on to the t street walks under the bridge and so much earth was cut away from under one trestle as to leave a track supporting a passenger car unused and standing upon it al- most suspended on air. This condition was repeated with some variation at the railroad bridge over South Main street, near the sub- station of the tfolley company and other washouts were reported in the railroad embankment on the main line of the Midland division, in the vicinity of the gas plant and bridge over the Quinebaug. As soon as the storm abated some- what, hundreds gathered to witness the flood scene near the Fronmt street bridge. The washout conditions here not injuring the bridge foundations in any degree however, and at other points on thé railroad about the city, started some talk of sending the after. noon express, Boston for New York, around by Providence and Plainfield. Word of this was flashed to Black- stone, but conditions improved so rapidly after the storm abated that it was found possible to care for the train. The train due here at 3:15 from Norwich was held up at Dayville for ten minutes awaiting reports on con- ditions at the South Main street bridge. Arriving here. the train got through without trouble. carry it off and much water also ac- of earth on the sidewalks under the Front street bridge and gangs of men ‘were engaged during the afternoon in clearing them away. Over in the Church and Bridge 8. | street section the streets were flooded and a tree was knocked over. Light- ning struck a barn at the O'Brien place on Oak hill. Nearly 100 tele- phone lines were knocked out by the storm, but linemen started at once to repair the damage and will work Iike beavers until the work is completed. The lightning knocked a part of the chimney off the residence of Mrs. F. G. Letters and also struck the home of Dr. A. H. Strahan. Brady’s pool ¥oom in the Bradley block on Front street, was flooded with water that came down from the roof of adjoining buildings in such volume that the gutters could not begin to carry it o and much water also ac- cummulated in the of the Woolworth store in the same buildin; Gangs of men were sent out by th raflroad company_to take care of the washout on the Midland division. one afternoon passenger train from Willi- mantic_being routed by _Plainfield, while this work was under way.
