 Oystermen of this place and vicinity who own oyster beds near Bridgeport and Norwalk. report the oyster seed very plen- tifu1. The natural beds are yielding more seed than ever before. Seed sells for about sixty cents per bushel and there is a market for all that can be caught.

 Now that the city has spare road roller it might not be bad policy to send it to Fair Haven to fix up some of the spots. There is need enough of hardening or re- pairing some of the roadways. But the patient Fair Haven citizens don't expect that anything of this sort. Perhaps some of these streets will receive attention when all the rest of the city streets are inn proved.

 For removal-M Messrs. Adler, Howarth Avis and Graves.
 Opposed - Messrs. Plunkett, Strong Leigh and Hemingway.
 Not voting-O'Brien.
 At the final vote Mir. O'Brien voted yes l more. MT. Wn1rmore's duties as principa
 of the high school will probably close
 therefore at the end of the present schoe
 year. MT. Whitemore, when seen yestel
 day, demurred to the stress given to tn
 alleged lack of discipline at the higl
 school, saying he could point with prid
 to the state of good discipline that exist
 and has existed in the high school unde his administration. Not one of those il the board who voted against me have wis tied my school in year. How, then, cal 1 they judge in the matter? MT. Whitmor
 challenged the fullest inquiry as to tn case, confident that the verdict would b strongly in his favor as disciplinarian ! MT. Whitmore also took decided exception to the charge or claim of exercising favor itism with certain teachers, and said:
 have had no personal policy in the way t. build myself up, neither have I favored one teacher above another. There hav ! been some teachers whose course as in l structors could not support, but cal l say that of the twenty-one teachers in thi I course two-thirds of them support m l cheerfully.
 ! MT. Whitmore attributed his remova
 to personal grounds arising from cause
 outside his position in the school ane chiefly perhaps from having offended som by positions he took in public matter
 when member of the board of aldermen
 He thought he had alienated MT. Grave
 from having opposed him in the free Ii
 bIary matter, and that he had lost tn
 support of MT. Avis likewise from oppoe l ing some of the latter's measures Bu
 that his acts were prompted by singlenes
 and honesty of purpose.
 ! While the vote in MT. Whitemore's cas
 was refusal to recommend appointmen for another year, and might be reversed | should the committee on schools decide t, l change it's attitude, still it is looked upe1
 as reasonably decisive. The board at thu ! same meeting voted not to recommend M M. Marble for reappointment. MT. Mar
 ble is a native of Michigan and was taking ! postgraduate course at Harvard when h.
 was given position in the high school two years ago. He is teaching chemistry and his salary is $1 500. When asked the req son for side-tracking Mr. Marble one o, the commissioners thus replied this after noon:
