tic park now at such a small cost,
and think that the town goes on
growing and that there has here
toforc been no provision anywhere
for park, it makes us feel that
the subject requires considerable
attention. Not that it should, for a
mere suggestion ought to suffice in
this matter, but because il seems
not to interest the city council,
and because that body is demon
strating a disposition to shirk the
question by quietly ingnoring the
report of the committee, which was
favorable. The committee owes
ii to themselves and to their con
s,ituents to bring this matter again
before the council, and insist that
it be given a fair and attentive
hearing, and disposition. The
c,mmittee, to say nothing Of tho
citizens, is entitled 10 this consid'

the need of an iron fence and band

IS so little cooperation and no or

A SUGGESTION.


of the Forrest City School District
to have a school next fall and win
ter, we think the matter can be
arranged. At least we have an
idea, entirely original, which seems
to US to solve the problem, and we
give it here for what it is worth,
hoping that the board, the auxilia-
ry board, and the patrons will
read it over twice and think it
over carefully in the interest of
the town and the children. We do
not think that large auxiliary
fund can be secured such as would
be required to run the school in
dependent Of the aid and credit of
the district as contemplated by the
auxiliary board. We do think,
however, that a small fund, such as
is contemplated by the following
scheme, can be raised by popular
subscription. The district being
already largely in debt, 1t would
not be advisable to have q nine
mopths free school. Therefore
our plan contemplates six months
free school, and three months pay
school, the pay months, to be in
terspersed SO that the payments
would fall easy upon all patrons.
We think to make the I'd, 5th aud
9th months pay months, would di.
vide the burden so that all could
bear it, and it would be easy.
Our scheme embraces three
main propositions, and we believe
it to be the only practicable solu-
ton of the question. 1t is as fol.
lows:
First. Petition of Patrons
The law provides that although
there may be no money in the
treasury, or even levied, a MAORI
'ty of the patrons may by petition
have a school taught, provided the
sum to be paid be not greater than
would be paid if there were money
in the treatury. The first propo.
sition, therefore, is to petition tho
board. That is simple enough. A
petition circulated by some per-
son or persons who are enthuslas-
tic for the school and have the IN.
forests of the town and children at
heart, and who can fully or at
least intelligently explain to the
people what it means to be with
out free school, will no doubt re-
ceive large majority of the sigma.
lures Of the patrons.
Second. An auxiliary fund to be
provided-The district being al
ready in debt, its warrants would not
float at par; hence without some
provision to protect the teachers
and others to whom the school
funds are paid out, their services
could not be obtained "at a cost
no greater than would be paid if
there was money in the treasury. {"
Therefore, in order to comply with
the law, a fund would have to be
provided to keep warrants at par,
from which the teachers and others
could be reimbursed for whatever
amount their warrants are dis
counted. For this purpose an aux
hilary fund of something less than
thousand dollars must be pro.
vided. This fund should be solici.
ted at the same time and by the
same parties who circulate the pc.
tition.
Third. Discount OF Warrants-The
board shall make an arrangement
with the bank or some other finan
cial concern, to take up and pay
of all warrants drawn upon thu
school fund up to given sum, a
an agreed rate OF discount, so tina
all parties depending upon tn,
school funds for salaries, etc.
would have the i. assurance tina

LARGE OYSTER SHIPMENT.
II. C. Rowe & Co. Yesterday Shipped
1913 Gallons

III. C. Rowe & Co. Yesterday Shipped
1913 Gallons.
H. c. Rowe & Co., the well known
firm Of local oystermen, yesterday ship
ped by express, by railroad and by
steamer 1918 gallons of opened oysters,
one of the largest shipments of oysters
ever made from this city, The con-
signment went to various parts Of the
country and as far west as Milwaukee.
The quantity mentioned above did not
include the shell trade in barrels and
by the bushel, nor did it include the lo-
cal New Haven trade. The steamers
of the company are capable of dredging
five thousand bushels of oysters day.
The firm is now opening the Narragan-
sett Bay stock planted in the bay last
spring. The oysters when planted there
were four or five years old and were put
there to improve their flavor, having
been taken from the New Haven beds.
During the Thanksgiving season the
oyster trade is especially heavy. Yes
terday one of the openers for FL. G.
Rowe & Co., a girl, opened III quarts,
making thereby $5.1S.

A TERRIBLE FALL.

Edward Mills, aged about 62 years
who is employed as wood chopper by
George Tomlinson in Oronoque, walked
off the Peck Mill trestle on the Shell
ton trolley line, early Saturday even
ing, and was severely injured. Mills
was on his way home from Bridgeport
on one of the cars and had reached the
trestle when he decided to walk the
rest of the way.
He got off at the southern end of the
bridge and walked across to a point
over the roadway, where the stone
abutment forms sort of stairway to
the road below.
Mills thought he had reached this and
stepped Off Instead of onto the abut-
ment he had stepped into the air. He
struck in the road, eighteen feet below.
His groans attracted the attention of
some passersby who took him to the
Peck homestead nearby, where he was
taken to Bridgeport
At the hospital it was found that
Mills had both legs fractured. There
was dislocation of the left femur and he
had suffered internal injuries. 1t is be-
lieved, however that he will recover.

Thomas, the Tea Man, Offers Choice
Requisites
Now is the time when the problem of
Thanksgiving fixings is occupying the
mind of the housewife and suggestion
as to where these can be obtained may
be Of value. Thomas, the Tea Man, at
No, S61 Chapel street, has an especially
fine stock Of first-class goods In his
line, especially coffees thyme. sage,
savory and sweet marjoram, things so
essential to give just the right flavor to
that nice turkey or whatever the roast
will be which graces the tables of the
thankful Thursday. Then at the same
place may be obtained some of that
genuine John Roblnson's English Club
Mustard, which gives such relish and
adds just the required touch to delight
the epicure. Thomas is a famous New
Haven store and more popular than
ever. Just dealings and goods. and
prices that satisfy tell the story.
