Up to this time most of the re was done by mail, and the Willimantic Poles were found to be very patriotic. The Austrian Poles, several hundred of whom live in Willimantic, are bar- red from the U. S. army, as enemy aliens, since their lands were held by either Germany or Austria, but in al) cases the men want to fight against those two countries. The new Polish army is being formeg for this purpose, as it will become part of the allied army, fighting against the common foe. Those who desire to enlist in the Polish army are to communicate with Mr. Krayewski at the Polish recruit- ing office, No. 16, at 62 Charter Oak avenue, Hartford. First Interclass Game.

CITY MEETING LAYS A TAX OF 7 1-2 MILLS Tax Was Voted After Much Discus- sion as to the Ways and Means of the City. About sixty voters were Dresent at the city meeting Tuesday evening held to lay a city tax, and to deeide (whether or not to accept the grant of land by the late Charles A. Capen for a city park or playground. The ‘meeting wag calied to order at $.05 by Mayor Charles A. Gates and the warning was read by City Clerk % C. Secripture. Corporation Counsel illiam A. King offered a resolution fixing the tax rate at blank mills and to be due on the first of June. Mr. King then gave an approximate of the finances of the city, showing that about $98,000 must be raised by taxes to defray current expemses. A seven mill tax would be short $2,000 while a seven and a half mill tax would give $4,000 more than was reeded for current expenses. ‘Walter B. Knight made a motion for an eight mill tax and M. E. Lincoln wanted a 7 1-2 mill tax. John F. Re- gan thought that the war demands on the people were overburdening the people and a larger tax would crush them. He knew people who were un- able to pay their rent now. If the city economized, 6 1-2 mills would be enough. Walter B. Knight said that the men who are fighting now will have to pay off the Liberty bonds (an ‘argument siven for a low rate) antl he thought that they should not be made to pay off a large deficit from the present time. H. C. Lathrop said that the government was commaadeering steel and may soon commandeer money which would make berrowing money hard. City debts fare created by de- ficits and this should be stopped. In war times we should pay as we go. M. E. Lincoln said that $6,000 was ‘enough extra to pay off the deficit with, and that eight mills would re- turn too much money. _ Henry A. Bugbee said that he would just as ®oon pay an eight mill tax if the city officials would economize, the officers must keep the expenses down (Applause). He was willing to pay nine mills if the city would economize and didn’t vote any more big salaries. Eugene Randall said that the pres- ent city officers were not keeping their word of economy, which they pledged st election time. Every year they call for more money and spend it unnec- essarily. Let the official study econ- cmy and run the city as they would run their own business. Amos, Fow- ler said that in war times we should keep the expenses down. He referred to the money used for street repairs, while all of the streets in his neigh- borhood were in bad condition. City Clerk A, C. Scripture was then called on for a statement about the city’s financial condition. He gave the following figures: Estimated expenses for rest of fiscal year (7 months) $114,262. Receipts, $16,696; balance to be gained by taxation, $97,565; grand list, resident property, $12,233,046; grand list, non-resident property, $1,- 464,429, Total, $13,696,475. A vote on the eight mill tax was taken and lost, and the 7 1-2 mill tax adopted with one dissenting vote. The matter of accepting the land left by the late Charles A. Capen to the city for a park or playground was the next matter. Attorney Thomas J. Kellev appeared for the widow. He said that Mfs. Ca- pen hasn’t decided yet whether to take her statutory rights or adopt the will and has eight months to do so. The city has one vear to accept the land and sothere is ample time. He then pointed out several objections against accepting the land. The land is outside the city limits, while the city has two parks inside the city lim- its which they have not developed yet. Near this 1gnd there is a fine private park (Recreation Park) which the public has the use of. The city would Eave to expend a large amount of money to fit it up, as there are no trees on it. in fact, the land is only suitable for cultivation, for which it 13 being used now. Then the title of the land is in dispute. The land was owned by Henry E. and Charles A. Capen jointly. and the widows of both men have claims on it, while the title befdre the Capens bought it is in dis- pute, and, finally, the land has been leased to a private individual until April 1, 1925, Upon the motion of M. E. Lincoln. it was voted to take no action. The meeting adjourned at .45, OBITUARY John Russ. The death of John Russ, 70, occurred at his home on the Windham road. just outside of this city, Tuesday g;oming. at 10 o'clock from heart trou- e. The deceased was born in Wind- ham, April 19, 1843, the son of John and Nancy (Ames) Russ. He had lived in Windham all of his life, where he was well known. He wag a far- mer by occupation.
