Commissioner Kiimar- tin, chairman Of the committee on schools and hygiene, read report of
 the work done by that committee during vacation on the various schools,
 and it was the opinion of the board
 that vote of thanks should be given

 Suerintendent Tinker reported on | the standing of the schools as it was l yesterday, and from that it would l appear that every school is crowded l in some of the minor grades and that
 none of them have room to spare The primary grades in Washington
 and Merriman schools are particularly
 crowded. The enumeration for that
 day was about 500 less than when the schools closed, but he thought that number and over would report today The question of tuition fee for out siders was considerably discussed, and the vote of June 10 last. which made it compulsory for such pupils to pay S6O a year was rescinded, and Com
 missioner Goodenough had motion passed providing that after January T 1. 1902, only nonresident pupils of tht
 town of Waterbury shall pay tht !, above named fee, together with $. . additional for the use of books. Thi'
 refers only to such pupils in the higi school. Attorney F. l.. Wood and tw' or three residents of Town Plot were
