They are going to have an election
| over in Fair Haven East next month,
| but as yet very little interest seems to
| be manifested. The election Is two
weeks off occurring the second Mon
day in May. Except in years when
there are two tickets, the borough
election is not exciting, and it is very
seldom that there is a contest. Usual
ly there are some changes in burgesses
but just what will be the ticket this
year no one seems to know.
A committee from the alumni and
the committee of the class of 1902 have
Just consulted together concerning a
permanent class pin for strong school.
Heretofore each class has adopted such
style of pin as they saw fit, but 1t has
been decided best to have one stand
ard for all classes The conference has
accordingly adopted a sort of diamond
shaped pin with enamel center and
the word Strong" engraved upon It..
This pin will cost about 81.
sum of money has been approprlat-
ed from the receipts of the Strong
school concert to place piece OIL stat
uary upon pedestal on the first floor
Of Strong school in the center OF the
corridor. The form of the statue has
not been selected but it will be put in
place in few days.
Mrs. E. E. Newbrook, teacher in room
II, Strong school, is i'll and Miss Silt-
man is teaching in her place.
The Yale boat house on East Chapel
street Is very much improved in APP
pearance. The building has been thor
oughly repaired and reprinted in an at
tractive manner. A frame addition
65x15 feet, and one story has also been
built.
Dr. C. Fl. Robbins has purchased one
of Superintendent w. A. Waterburys
houses on Grand avenue. The proper
ty has frontage of forty feet and the
price of the sale was about $4,000. The
doctor will move to his new property
about May.1
Mrs. w w. Kelsey who has been
travelling in Europe since August, sail
ed from Gibraltar Sunday and is ex-
pected to arrive al New York next
Monday. She has been travelling for
the past few weeks in Spain. Upon
arriving in New York she will come di-
rect to New Haven, and will reside at
344 Willow street Her former home
was in Exchange street
A plan Is on foot to improve the Cove
meadows at Morris Cove by rebuilding
the dixie This VIII prevent the water
flowing i'm from the sound and will i'm
prove the 900 acres of meadow lands for
the harvesting of hay. This has been
a great breeding ground for mosque
toes and it is claimed that the improved
conditions will make this pest much
scarces. This is to be hoped for as at
certain times in the summer, mosqui !
toes invade the city from that district
in great numbers.
1t has been ascertained that the cost |
of a bowling alley for the basement of
Strong school. would be about s125. 1t |
was honed that the alley could be in
stalled during the summer vacation,
but there is not enough money in the
fund for this purpose. About one half |
of this amount wifi be appropriated |
from the concert fund and the pupils |
will have to wait until another year |
for the bowling alley, or until the en- |
tire amount is made up.
Superintendent w. A, Waterbury of |
the Consolidated road, who has been Ill |
at his ;1ome on Grand avenue about a |
week, is improving. He is suffering |
from nervous exhaustion, the result of |
overwork 1t is hoped in a few days |
he will be able to leave the city for |
several weeks rest, going either to
Long Island or the Berkshires.
