The indications are that there will be a large attendance at the meet- ing, which involves a vote on appropria- tions totaling $209,200 for the purpose of providing for the erection of a 16-room school building on the West Side and the purchasing of a lot with dwelling' on the East Side adjoining the Bridge district school, for school purposes. The cost of the new school building proposed fo the West Side will be $201,- 000. The town school board and the Chamber of Commerce are back of the new school movement, which if success- fully carried out will relieve the conges- tion in the West Side schools. The Bridge district schoo! is also overcrowded. At present there is no room for the kinder- garten, which has had to find refuge.in the Preston chapel,which 'is ‘owned by the Central Baptist church. 3 I¢ the $§.200 apuropriation is voted it will enable the town school board to pur- chase the lot adjoining the Bridge echool. The dwelling on the lot would be put to use as a kindergarten for the school*and the lot itself woq' be avaflable for a fu- ture school buildinz or for expansion of the present school building. So far as is apparent from what little discussion on.the subject has been heard on the street. it is not known whether the meeting will be all harmonicus in favor of the motion before it or whether some citizen may lead an opposition move- ment. Gitt to Backus Hespital. The ladies of the hospital board of the United Congregational church, Mrs. Arca- ibald Mitichell, Jr., chairman, have fin- ished and forwarded to the Backus hos- ‘pital 137 Canton Flannel squares for the maternity department which were grate- tully received by the hospital officers. GIVES $10 VERDICT FOR GEO. DAWLEY OF VOLUNTOWN ‘Charles Bloomauist of Hartford, who sued George Dawley, Jr., of Volintown for $10,000 damages because of & colli- sion between Bloomauist's motorcyele. And Dawley’s autmobile, loses his suit. ac- cording to a finding handed down Thurs- day by Judge George E. ,Hinman before whom the case was recently tried nave in the. superior court. Judge Hinman gives the verdlct for the defendant, Dawley, to recoger $40 and costs on his countérclaim £0r' 8390 dam- ages. Tn-his memmorundumi*of Hedigion b= states that the plaintift fafled to prove his_case by a preponderance of evidencs, The accident ou which the suit was brought occurred on the road between Jewett City and Voluntown on the aft- ernoon of Ausust 31, 1919, when the two machines, traveliv= in opnosite directions, collided: at a curve near the Woodward school s house. Blosmauist was knoa'ced unconstious when he was thrown out of’ -the motorcycle and-had his face badly cut. In the trial of theisult Attorney T. M. Shields appeared. for Mr. Dawley, Attorneys Rathbun and Danaher for the Plaintiff. Judge Hinma sion is as follows: It the collision between defendant automobile and plaintif’s motorcyele oc- curred where and as testified to by the plaintiff and his witnesses. defendant’s ligbility would be clear. On the other hand, if the evidence introduced by the defendant be taken as establishing the true account of the occurrence, the plain- tiff was negligent and the defendant was not guilty of even contributory negli- gence. The decisive question then is as to the credibility of the resective witnesses. As to this. the conclusion is reached that the Plaintiff has failed to sustain the burden of proof incumbent upon him under the complaint and the answer thereto, and that the defendant %as proven the essen tial allegations of his counter-claim as to due care on his part and negligence of the plaintiff in failing to slacken his pace §1 reasonably turn to the right, where- ¥ the collision occurred and his result- ing damage. This conclusion is nat con- tributed to or affected by the evidence as to claimed statements by the witness Plerce, goon after the collision. which evi- dence was admitted solely for the purpose of affecting the credibility of said Plerce. His_condition.at ‘e time, as a result of having been thrown from the motorcyele (one of the few noints as to.which the testimory Is in harmony) was such that no sicnificance attaches to whatever, if anything. he may have then said. Judgmert is that the defendant recover from plaintiff. under his counter-claim, $40 damages and his costs. memoranium of 2 HAILE CLUB DELEGATES FOR CONNECTICUT MEETING The March meetinz. of the Haile club was held Wednesday evening with the vice president, Miss- Katherine Smith, presiding.
