Gentlemen this array of unassailable


Gentlemen, this array of unassailable
facts and truths is respectfully present
ed to you for assistance in the settle
ment of this problem. The usefulness
and the practical value of the new
school building for the next fifty years
depend so greatly upon its location,
accessibility and especially on all the
surroundings that an error Of judgment
in these essentials would be a public
misfortune.
1t is believed with great confidence
that residing as you do in city and
town noted for its great institution Of
learning, and especially noted for its
excellence in its public school system,
that your wisdom and sound Judgment
will lead you in such paths and direct
you in such a manner that this new site,
which will probably be in existence 100
years from now, will be the very best
that can be selected.
We also feel greatly indebted to you
for consenting to undertake this diff
cult task, and at the same time feel
assured that you will not allow private
or individual interests to be a factor in
this, one Of the most important ques-
lions that ever was presented to the
people of this town and this municipal
organization, and that your intelligent
deliberate and official action will for
all time be a credit to yourselves, also
the most populous and wealthiest pub
lie school district in the suburban town
Of East Haven.

News About Crops.
New York. May 2S.-The dominant
factor in the stock market to-day was,
as of late, the news about the crops.
Reports from the west continue general
ly unfavorable, II being again stated
that conditions are greatly against win
ter wheat and that small yield is in
evltable. Higher prices for the produce
rather corroborated this view and as
the recent advance in stocks has been
| based on prospective good crops, the
professionals ever ready to make a turn
took advantage of the rumors to ham
mer the western railway shares. In adj
dition London sold fully 10000 shares,
and this assisted operators playing for
reaction. The grangers declined from
IL to rs per cent, st. Paul selling down.
to 66A, Northwest to 97Sl, Burlington
and Quincy to sos, and Rock Island to

In the international issues Louisville
and Nashville was conspicuous for q
decline Of 11a to 57%. The anthracite
coalers were also under pressure, fall
Ing %@2B per cent. Susquehanna and
Western preferred, however, broke Az
to 20. with subsequent rally to Sly,
the reports of internal dissensions and
poor earnings being again revived.
Manhattan was attacked by a promi-
nent room trader and yielded 39s per
cent. to 1929. The sales of the stock
aggregated 7,400 shares. The Trunk
lines, Northern Pacific preferred and the
southwesterns declined 1s@1A per cent.
In the specialties Alton and Terre
Haute Jumped 81 to &c, while Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg declined to

| 1928.
The dndustrials were heavy, except
for Distillers and General Electric.
There was any amount of bearish gos-
sip about the former, but it had no par
tlcuar effect General Electric gained
about point on the day on vague ru-
mors that the company had obtained
an important contract from the Man
haitian. This rumor is revived period
ically. Sugar was sold down to ZIG from
lis. Tobacco declined from 1854 to
114sA@115. Leather preferred broke Az
to 80 and rallied to SO on the declara-
ton of a special dividend Of / per cent.
Later on there was q recession to 94A.
The common sold down from 20 to 201A
021K. Cordage securities continue
heavy on liquidations. 1t is stated that
definite policy in regard to the com
pany will be announced early in June.
Statements as to reorganization, etc,
given out recently, according to good
authorities, are premature.
Speculation closed weak In tone. Net
changes show losses of HQ314 per cent,
