Bailey from $2,100 to $3,000. The attempt to cut the col- lector's salary in two was made by John ‘Woodmansee when a resolution fixing the salaries of the town officers was intro- duced by Henry A. Tirrell Aceording to the resolution the tax collector’s salary was fixed at one per cent. of the total tax collected. Jolin Woadmansee immediately moved that the eollector's compensation be one-half of one per cent. T. C. Murphy and J. J. Corkery spoke against the amendment offered by Mr. Woodmansee and when the vote was taken there was a chorus of nays and two lone ayes. The estimated expenses of the town were apipropriated without change and the school appropriations also went through in quick order. All of the so-called ex- tras on the long list met favorable approv- al with the exception of a- petition re- questing the installation of a hydrant for fire purposes, at or near the hospital corner, and a petition asking a §5,000 appropriation to be expended under the direction of the selectmen in making an assessment map for the town and a peti- tien for the acceptance of that part of Fanning avenue within the town. No action was taken on the hydrant petition as no one appeared to support it. The Fanning avenue petition was laid on the table to await the outcome of the city's action on a similar petition relating to the acceptance of that part of Fan- ning avenue within the city limits. The assessment map petition was withdrawn before the meeting. The appropriations voted will mean an approximate town tax of 23 1-4 mills. At Boston on May 27, Shorter Hours for Voting The meeting voted to shorten the town voting hours an hour and a half, the new voting hours to be from 6 a. m. to 5 p. m. The meeting was largely attended. Practically every seat was taken and some 50 or 75 men were lined up against the wall near the entrances to the hall The meeting was called to order at 8§ o'clock by First Selectman Bailey and Henry H. Pettis was asked to act as chairman. After the call for the meet- ing had been read by Town Cledk Charles S. Holbrook, the Business before the meet- ing was taken up. Regular Appropriations Voted The annual report of the selectmen, their recommendations, the reports of the town treasurer, the sinking fund com- mittee, the health officer, the town school committee and the trustees of the Otis library were accepted and the esti- mates of the town expenses for the com- ing year were then voted without change, as recommended by the selectmen, as fol- lows: Appropriated Appropriated Last Night Last Year Almshouse ......$ 7,000.00 § 9,000 Outside Poor .. . 9,000 Insane ..... 11,000 Negleoted and De- pendent Children 7,000.00 3,500 Widows' Pension. 3,000.00 3,000 Highways City of Norwich 23,000.00 23,000 Town .. 15,000.00 15,000 Macadam Repairs 3,000.00 Oiling Reads . 2,500.00 Bridges .... 5,000.00 Contingent .. . 10,000.00 nterest 18,000.00 National Guard 6,000.00 Election Expense.. 6,000.00 Registry of Vital Statisties ..... 2,000.00 Town Clerk's Of- floe .......... 500.00 Town Property Tax ..o .+ 6,500.00 Sinking Fund ... 9,500.00 ‘Tuberculosis 2,000.00 2,000 Probate Dlstrlct Court .500.00 500 Street Lig 1,000.00 1,000 State Tax .. .. 31,000.00 31,000 County Tax. . 47,714.23 12,400* Medical Inspection School Children 1,000.00¢ Yantic Steam Fire Engine Co. .... 778.00 8,050 Totals ....... $219,992.23 $214,456,00 *Estimate last year. **Balance carrled'oven School Money Voted ‘The expenses of the town schoolg ‘were then voted as follows: Salaries ......

Henry A. Tirrell introduced a reso- lution fixing the salaries of the town officers as follows for the ensuing year: First selectman, $2,100; seeond and third selectmen, $200 each; town clerk, $200; town treasurer, $1,000; assessors, $1,200 each with $300 extra for the member of the board chosen clerk; sec- retary town sehool board, $400; tax colector, one per cent. of total tax col- lected. John Woodmanses immediately offer- ed an amendment cutting the taX col- lector's compensation to one-half of one per cent. of the total tax collected. Timothy C. Murphy said he was very much surprised that anyone in the meeting should undertake to cut down the salary of that office. ‘“We might as weM start in with the first selectm: 'and go right down the list,” he said. “I don't think this meeting will sustain that motien,” he said in concluding. John J. Corkery also spoke against the amendment. He said that one-half of ene per cent. would amount to about $2,000 and out of that the tax collec- tor is obliged to pay all the expense of his office. How much is it worth to the town to eollect $400,000% he asked.. We place great responsibility on our tax collector, Corkery, and he should be adequately compensated. In oosing he said he hoped the meeting would not approve the amendment. The vote was then called for by“the chair, A roar of ‘“nays” thundered through the hall with two lone and weak “ayes” trailing along. The amend- ment was decisively defeated. Defore the vote was u-lsfi.on the original Chazles. 00K .1be IfiANSTflWTAXABflflTBMIU.S — e sv-fiuhh-wfid&o city limits but within the town limits. $ {T. C.

Lerou mm.‘ e meeting that a similar udfln h been Intfoduced into the court of mon council and that it had been lofcr- red to the public works committee. This petition relates to the acceptance of that part of Fanning avenue within " I have a proposition here that I think is fair. said Mr. Noyes. More than 40 years ago the first selectman was voted a salary of $2,100 and he was to em- poy his own clerk. That situation has prevailed umtil today and we have been coming here year after year and appro- priating $2,100 for t))e fist selectman’s salary. Mr, Noyes spoke of the city manager plan which is being put into effect in New London anq said he had heard of no salary less than $10,000 naméd for the city manager in that town. The first selectman, he said, has great power. He employs his own clerk. This calls for a capable clerk and you can't get a capable clerk for iess than $900 a a year. How much does the first se- lectman get? Figure it out. The first selectman doesn't get a living salary. You must have confidence in him or you wouldn’t have elected him. I move that the first selectman's salary be $3,000, sald Mr. Noyes in conclusion, his mo: tion being an amendment to the origina resolution. The amendment was carried after which the original motion as amended was voted. By a resolution introduced by T. C. Murphy and adopted by the meeting, the towp authorizes the selectmen to borrow a sum not to exceed $325,000 in such sums and at such times during the coming twe've months as may be necessary to defray the debts of the town in anticipation of the town tax. The matter of the hours for the open- ing and closing of the polls in the sev- eral voting districts at future town elec- tions was next taken up. The chairman called attention to the present hours which were from 5.30 a. m. to 6 p. m. The chairman sald that his understand- ing of the statute Is that the meeting could shorten the hours but could not lengthen them after 6 o'clock. W. W. Ives moved the polling hours be from 6 a. m. to 5 p. m., thus short- ening the polling period one hour and a half. The motlon was carried. Deeds Are Accepted. ‘The next matter on the list was that regarding the acceptance by the town of deeds of certain parcels of land on the Gallows Hill road, the property of Daniel Shea, John D. Nolan, Arthur A. Mitchel and Charles P. Bushnell. George N. Beardow of Taftville pre- sented a resolution by which the town accepts the deeds. Chairman Pettis ex- plained the matter by eaying that the state highway department has taken over the Ga'lows Hill road and is put- ’ing In a state highway between Taft- v[lle and Norwich Town. The layous of road has been changed somewhat, mak- Ing it necessary to take over certain small parcels of land. No money is ne- cessary as the cost of taking over the ‘and has been paid out of last year's highway appropriation. Chairman Pet- tis, said he thought it only fair for the meeting to know that Selectman Charles P. Bushnell has deeded several parcels of the land necessary for the improve- ment and has not charged the town a cent. (Appjlause.) Mr. Beardow's resolution was adopted. Extras Are Voted. By a resolution introduced by General William A. Afken the meeting appro- priated the usual $4,500 to assist in the maintenance of the Otis Library during the coming year. The meeting then appropriated a sum not to exceed $27,000 to relieve the par- ents and guardians of pupi's residing in the town and attending the Norwich Free Academy from payment of the customary term fees at the Academy during the school year, 1921-1922, Favorable action was taken on the petition requesting an appropriation of a sum not to exceed $30¢ to provide supplies for the use of Taftville Fire Company No. 2. Corporation Counsel Edwin W. Higgins presented a resolu- tion which he said is similar to the res- olution passed in 1899 with reference to the Yantic fire department. It differs from the Yantic resolution in that the; Yantie resolution is unlimited, the mat- ter of approval of expense items being left entirely with the good judgment of the selectmen. The reso'ution Intro- duced by Mr. Higgins provides that In December of each year the town, through the selectmen, shall provide for Taftville Fire Company No. 2, such supplies as may be necessary, up to and including $300. The resolution was voted. Hereafter the $300 item for the Taftville fire comnany will appear with the list of estimated expenses of the town. For Memorlal to War Veterans. By a resolution introduced by Dr. John S. Blackmar and adopted by the meeting 2 sum not to exceed $3,500 is appropriated for the purpose of provid- ing a memorial for the veterans of the World war. The same resolution au- thorizes the selectmen to appoint a committee of not more than five voters to select and erect the memorial. Medical Inspection In Schools. The $7,500 appropriation for medical Inspection for the children of school age residing in the town came up next. Rev. Alexander H. Abbott introduced a r lution authorizing the appropriation and moved its adoption. The appropria- tion is 00 more than last year. G. Warren Davis spoke in oppesition to the $7,500 appropriation, net on the basis of a tax increase, he said, Qut be- cause, as he looked at the matter, a steady increase in wmedicAl inspeetion appropriations, wou'd bring into the home a tendency to destroy the initia- tive in the ecare of children by the father and mother. Mr. Davis said he Wwas not opposing the Red Cross in this matter, elther. Mr. Davis spoke of the origin of milk inspection in Norwich. Norwich never had adequate milk inspection, hs said, When you' do it will cost $10,000 or $20,000. I don't belleve you need it. Norwich, se far as I know, never had an epidemic from milk. Speaking of medical inspection he said: On what basls is the child put when we employ a private physician? We invite the phy- sician into our home and he gives us his best advice. We accept it or re- jeet it. Healin ins‘p!cllon in schools permits a greater power than that of the private physiefan. The vrivate phy- sleian says, “You should do this.” The public physician says, “You must do this.” “Let me see these children.” I am not discussing this matter on the basis of a tax increase. It is a terrible thing to come here and oppose a Red Cross project. Nevertheless there is a still greater result to come from this medical inspection. You bring inte the home a tendency to destroy the Initia- tive In the care of the children by the father and mother. I object to the in- crease in the appropriation, Rev. Mr. Abbott, in support of his resolution, quoted figures showing the large percentage of defective children and: children with defective teeth. 82 Der cent. of the children need dental at. tention, he waid. I am quite sure we all | i, recognize the meed of an additional ap- propristion. If we permit a situation of ‘Il heaith:to-obtain we are to blame. We ask this, appropriation because we believe it isffor the good health of Norwich, “the good of the children sect, every color and every ‘This v the .reason for our re- movesthe adoption of the ‘The resolution was adoptéd by the meeting. Next_on the st was the Fanning Y petition ‘This; was & the city limits. The mayor said he be'ieved the town would be guided by city’s action as the larger part of Fanning aven.e is in the city limits. He sus that the matter be laid on the table untfl tlie adjourned town meet- ing next spring. Mr. Murphy withdrew his motion and ‘Mayor Lerou moved that the matter be tabled until the town meeting in March. The matter was tabled. For More Electric Lights. A resolution adopted by the meeting provides for the Installation and main- tenance of not more than eight e!lc'.rlo lights on Vergason avenne. The last matter acted upon was the petition requesting the - instalation and maintenance of ten electric lights on Scotland road and two electric lights on *{untington lane. The meeting voted fayorably on the petition by adopting & resolution introduced by Dwight H. Hough. The meeting adjourned about 9.30 o’- clock until the first Monday In March at which time the town tax will be laid. FLETCHER POST MEMBERS THINKING OF CONVENTION Several members of Fletcher post, N. 4, American Legion, are planning to at- tend the national convention of the Amer- ican Legion which is to be held at Kansas City, Mo., October 31, November 1st and 2nd.
