The fown of Kiilingly received from the state treasury for the support of schools in 1919 the sum of §4,196.15. An_effort to prevent an appropria- tion for a school building at Good: year and thereby hinder tne develop- men of the Goodyear Mills company’'s plans fér a village of 8,000 people and all the attendant prosperity that such a growth would mean to all of Kill- mgly ‘was being made here Monday in an insidious way, and to boost along the opposition stories without a grain of truth ‘or foundation in fact were being circulated to confuse the tax- payers. ; that Killingly The deliberate lie would be called upon to stand for an increase in the tax rate to 36 mills was being told to score of Killingly's citizens in an effort to induce them to vote themselves out of such @ chance for real rosperity as few Connecticut towns' the size of Killing- ly has had a chance to secure for themselves in.a generation. ‘- Now, the fact is that if the voters of Killingly decide to vote for an appropriation at this afternoon's special town meeting, for the purpose of erecting a school building at Goodyear, the money so appropri- ated will not have to be raised dur- ing the coming year. Any Connecti- cu: fown is charged only wita the obligation of taxing to meet its cur- rent expenses. -An appropriation for a school building can be provided for by a bond issue, «nd the liquidation of such an issue can be spread over 10, 20 or 30 years, as the tawpayers elect, this on the word of one of Aillingly's best known attorneys. _The «0pposicion to the appropria- n is chiefly inspired by malicious- ness on the part of the most active of those who are engaged in spreading false, propagand.x‘ though it is not to be denied that a very few persons are bonestly opposing the appropria- tion for reasons that are perfectly sincere and tenable. Danielson's business men, as they were interviewed Monday, were practically a unit in their desire to support the appropriation that thw development of the Goodyear Mills company will not be hampered or abandoned, as may be the resuit of preventing the appropriation. And if it is abandoned. ever taxpayer— practically every citizen—in_Killingly Il suffer losses, directly or indirectly, that will mount to heartsickening heights as the years go by. The Goodyear company stands ready to spend more than $30.000 as re of the building program. in itself is an evidence of the y's fair dealing with the town to which its growth means so muc As indicative of the meannal] and smallness to which the proje..

Monday was the last day for filing income fax returns and the offices of attorneys in the city were filled with persons lucky enough to have earned sufficient money during the past year to get into the class that has to con- tribute a part of their earnings to the support of the government. It was in- | dicated on Monday that some income tax returns from Putnam people and people of surrounding towns will not reach the office of the collector of in- ternal revenue in time to meet the re- quirement of the laws to filing. Re- turns_that , were postmarked at Put- nam Monday will be regarded as filed in time under the law. The most important case that ha: come before the superior court this season is scheduled to be heard be- fore Judge George E. Hinman in this city this (Tuesday) merning. In this suit George Jordan of Danielson, ad- ministrator of the estate of his fath- er, the late M. P. Jordan. also form- erly of Danielson, is seeking to re- cover damages of $5.000 from Charles Como, of the town of Plainfigld. it be- ing alleged that an automobile of which Como was the owner caused the death of M. P. Jordan, who was in charge of a force of state highway department workers who were em- pioved at Dayville when the accident occurred, during 1919. The danger from serious damage by floods along the valley of the Quin- ebaug river seemed to be lessening during Monday.
