DR.. d. j. Sullivan Is to leave town and
locate in Willimantic, and will make the
change about the middle of the month.
DIR. Sullivan has been here a little over
two years, and during that time has by
careful attention to business built up a
good practice. During the time he has
been here he has made many friends who
regret to have him leave. DIR. Sullivan
also feels regret in leaving Stafford, but
thinks the opportunity in Willimantic
must not be neglected.
Many of the citizens Of Stafford, West
Stafford and Staffordville feel that the
electric street lighting system should be
extended to embrace all the villages of
the town. The advantages of this plan
are obvious. Lights at regular inter walls
along the main roads between the various
villages would be appreciated by all trav-
ellers. The cost to light the whole town
will be much smaller proportionately than
the amount paid by the borough. 1t is
probable that the matter will come up at
the annual town meeting, and no surprise
will be manifested if an appropriation ,is
made for the extension.
AS the time for the town election draws
near the subject of the consolidation oil
the districts, which is to come before the
voters this fall for action, becomes prom
inent. This is very important step, and
should be looked at from every stand
point by every voter before the election.
Out of the 1867 towns in New England
only 108 have not consolidated their dis
tricts, and of this number 81 are In Con.
necticut. Eighty-one towns in the state
have already adopted this modern meth
cd of conducting the schools. Better
schools at less money is the principal rea.
son for adopting this system. The col.
umns Of The Press are open to arguments
for and against this movement.
