Risedorf for the rooms com- mittee reported in regard to the ne- cessity for another billiard table, stat- ing that the committee desired to leave the matter to a ballot vote of the association. There reasons both for and against and the committee did not desire to decide the question. During the ‘discussion it was stated that $50 could undoubtedly be raised from the billiard-players and a mo- tion made that the rooms committee be authorized to expend not to exceed $50 toward the purchase of a- table, The aves won, 48-26, on a ballat vote. The next business was the election of a successor to President Jordan, whose resignation was accepted last meeting. George F. Taylor, at pres- ent first vice president, was the ggx imous choice of the meeting. H, Foss was chosen first vice pres! dent to succeed Mr. Taylor. The rooms committee were empow.s ered to m any necessary arrange- | ments with the owner of the build ing for heat and any other arrange ments necessary to the installation of the new. billiard table. The meeting was thién thrown o to the subject of the evening, a dis- cussion of the city and town finances. C. Norris, who made the motion at the last meeting for the discussion opened it by presenting a list of ques- tions in regard to the finances, which, he said, although - fundamental, he doubted if 25 men out of the voters could answer. He stated that the as- sociation was not political, and he hoped that no remarks made would be taken as cgiticism of any persons or_ parties. Principal E. A. Case of the Windham high school spoke of the finances of the schoois: of the town, comparing the average cost per pupil. In all New England it is $34.89; in Connecticut $40.42; slightly less in Massachusetts. In Willimantic, 1912-13 31 and some cents, $31.25 in 1914. Some sources of this saving are the fact that there is no superintendent or apparent need of one, the excellenéy of the Natchaug school, the fact that there are many capable teachers trained here at home who can be obtained here for less money than they could get outside. City Clerk and Treasurer A. C, Scripture, who was present, explained the appropriations of 1915 and pro- posed budget for this year and gave the flgures of tho city’s bonded in- debtedness and Town Clerk and Treas- urer Frank P. Fenton gave a brief resurg” of the condition of tne town's finances.” He said it was not likely that the town would decrease its ex- penses in the future. He did not con- sider the rate of taxation high here. A rate of seven mills would pefhaps pay the running expenses of the town this year. M. Eugene Lincoln presented fig- ures in regard to the bonded indebt- edness of the town, net liabilities, cur- rent expenses, etc. showing that all had increased in the past ten years or so. He thought a saving could be made by consolidating some offices and letting the town and city treasurers act as collectors of taxes. First Selectman E. P. Chesbro said the increased expense of the town was in many ways due to money spent.in new ways, such as the support ef people in insane and other imstitu- tions of the state. The people should go to the town meetings. There were but seven at the last town meeting. Lay a tax agun] to your running expenses and you'll get pecple to come to the meet- ings. There is very little saving can be made. We are living better than we did. We must expect to pay for these things. We should vote to pay the year’s bills as we go. ‘William ‘A. Costello said when prop- erty was revalued a few years ago it was said that the grand lst would be increased and the tax rate could be kept the same or less. Now either we have increased our expenses great deal In a short time, or else the revaluation was incorrect. The more there is to spend'the more will be spent. A general discussion followed, which Was greatly enjoved by all present. The meeting adjourned sho after ten o'clock. —— Stratford—Local society learned with intense interest Monday night that Mrs. Alma Miller Caprillian has been granted an absolute decree of di- vorce from her husband, Ellia Capril« lian, an alleged Turkish count, who chased her through the streets of ‘the old village with a large, wicked-look- ing butcher knife.
