James H. Macdonald, state highway commissioner, says that the money called for by the GA towns which have voted to macadamize highways will leave small part of the $1OO,O0O authorized to be ex- pended by the state uncalled for, says the Hartford Times. As to this, he says: "Of the balance left over will place small amounts at the disposal of poor country towns which cannot afford to do any ma- cadamizing yet, and will apply the money to reducing grades. Every town appro- priating $500 towards the elimination of steep hills can have $500 from the state appropriation until the money is all gone. I believe that the spirit of the good roads law permits me to make that use of the money, and I am of the opinion, that the reduction of grades is quite as important feature of road improvement as the hardeninos of the surfaces J

Plan Shaping for application Next
Wedn esday Night.
While no action can be taken until next
Wednesday night TO curtail the expens es
of the School Department, in view of the
deficiency in the finances, which is now
ascertained to be nearer 100000 than
800 900, still partial programme has been
mapped out. Mavor Phelan and the
Finance Committee of the School Board
have been struggling with the proposition
of economy and think they see a little
light.
A part of the plan is to dismiss ten
special teachers next Wednesday night,
but the names of those to go are not given
out. 1t is also proposed to make some
provision for the unassigned teachers. A
system of rigid accounting for all ex-
penses, small as we'll as large, is also
promised. Another point is that substi-
tute teachers will probably be empowered
TO draw the per diem Day of whomsoever
they substitute for. ALI around the School

place next Wednesday evening. The
