O. Maine Home from Hospital. All sections of the town.of Stoning- ton, and especially Mystic, will be largely represented at:the special town meeting to be held this. evening in Borough hall.

It is sald that the cor missioner . has guaranteed the reim- bursement, provided the work is done under state supervision, and at ne ad- ditlonal cost to" the state. - Action will also be taken to legalize the action taken at an illegal town meeting in relation to the protest against an crease of passénger rates by the Grot- on and Stonington Street Railway comgpany. Another matter, of special importance to Pawcatuck, 1s the rec- ommendation of additional patrolman for that village at a salary not to ex- ceed $600.a year.: Stonington Pointers.
