Several meetings recently have giv- en_indications that those who are in- terested in the outcome of the contest are not unmindful of the near pro: imity of election day, and are govern- ed accordingly. On the whole, how- ever, there is little interest manifested and ‘most of the work is of the quiet variety. Mayor Daniel P.- Dunn is confident of reelection and the sup- porters of George F. Taylor, the re- publican candidate, claim that he will do better than wus the ease two years ago, when Mayor Dunn won out by a scant hundred votes. The republicans are counting on the recent trend toward republican control throughout the country, and the democrats on the mayor's popularity, both in and out of his party, Discu g Matter of Town Aid.

Walter Four lads came into town some time Tuesday night or early yesterday morning. They came from Worcester by freight. They made Plainfield their stopping place and proceeded to make things comfortable for a rest. A large quantity of wood and some good boards were secured and a large fire was started near the railroad station on the Providence and Willimantic line. In the morning they still had a file burning and the constable *was notified of their actions. It is believed that some person informed the lads that the officer of the law had been summoned, as they left their warm fire suddenly and started down the raidroad track, and when the officer put in his appearance they had left Plainfield quite a distance behind them. For some time hoboes have been making regular calls at the houses of the townspeople, especially those in the old village, which are eo near the railroad track. Regularly Sunday morning one or two of these wander- ers can be seen making the rounds of the houses of the village. A large number visit Plainfield offen, _either because they like the town or the gen- erosity of the people. Most of these men are young and well fitted for work, but care nothing for it.

Additional Facts In Commissioners' Report. As stated in The Bulletin Tussday. the annual report of the county com missioners—John A. Dady = of this city, B. H. Corttis of Thompson and Urgele Lafrance of Central Village— has been made public. It shows, in addition to facts already given, that the receipts fall about $5.000 hort of meeting the expenses. About half of this is from extraordinary ex- penses for the current vear alone— $1,000 at the Children's Home due to the scarlet fever epidemic and the payment of $1.800 for four years school tuition for the inmates of the home. But the fixed charges that now come every year will aggregate $2,500 in excess of the receipts. The in- creased outlay Includes $1,000 for the Farmeis' association, an _additional $300 for the Putnam law library, cost of premiums for liability insurance of county employes. This is extra for this year. Other items of expense that did not have to be met prior to three years ago are, salary and ex- penses of sealer of weights and me: ures averaging from $700 to $1,000, Putnam law library that was first $300 a_year, was raised to $500 and is now $300. and there are fears that it §s #till going up. The cost of forest fires is a considerable item amounting for the current year to $443. To oftset this increased expense the commissioners have no additiona income except ten per cent. of the liquor _licen: that were issued in Killingly this year.
