Political Possibilities. The candidates for the various town offices to be filled this year are hard at work. The chances are that the republicans will place most of thei men in office. John Gallup and Mar- cel Jette will doubtless be re-elected first and second selectmen respective- Iy on the republican ticket, while ames Gorman, democrat, is picked for third selectman. The school board is an interesting topic. Mrs. Edith Kennedy is placed on the People’s ticket along with W. A. Keefe. Mrs. Kennedy is consid- ered a formidable candidate while W. A. Keefe Is held here-as a sure suc- cess. Brouillard is also named on the democraltic ticket for schocl board while Charles Bragg is the republi- can’s choice. In the remaining offices republicans are expected to be successful. Will Play at Webster. The Plainfield baseball team will close its 1916 season Sunday with a game at Douglas Park.

Stafford and Shepherd Brown; supplementary read- ing commititee, Archibald M. Clarke, Joseph H. Stafford and Shepherd Brown. . On account of an unusually long pe- riod of cold weather during the year more fuel was necessary to heat the schoolrooms and an overdraft of the appropriations was made by several districts. These overdrafts were con- sidered by the joint board of school visitors and selectmen and it was found that the expenditures in excess of the amount praviously fixed upon was necessary to maintain the school or schools of the districts for the time required by law. At 4 meeting held during May the acting school visitor was empowered to confer with such authority as he wished in order to revise the present course of study in use in the several schools. This matter is under con- sideration at the time of closing this report and will be more fully taken up in_the report of next year. Thirty-two children residing ir the town of Griswold have attended non- local schools during the year as fol- lows: Norwich Free Academy, 27; the Plainfield High school, 4; Windham High School, 1 . The cost of tuition for all childrgn attending non-local high schools was $1,674.22, and for transportation $793.- 28. The reimbursement from the state treasury for tuition will be $868.64, and for transportation $396.64. The net cost of tuition and transportation to the town will be $1,202.22. There is an unusual interest being taken in the welfare of the schools of the town for the coming year and we trust at the close of the year we shall be able to report the most prosperous condition in every school of the town.
