TOO MUCH POLITICS IN TT.
No understanding About Bill Sent
 to State.

If there was not g. desire to inject politics into everything connected with the strike better feeling would ob- tain all around and the public would be more fully and fairly informed as to the why and the wherefore of what is being done by men in public positions who are trying to do their duty regard less of the merits of the questions at issue between the trolley company and the strikers. The state papers are making big hullabaIoo out of what they term to be 8 small piece of busi- ness on the part of the board of edu- cation in sending bill to the comp troller for a bill of rent for the use of the High school building for the time the militia occupied it. Is this true? Ditsthey charge rent for the use of the building? The best way to answer these questions is to give an itemized statement of the bill. Here it is:
 rive tons coal ................$G .$G0.0O Ja ; JaHtuors urs sedvlces ...,.......... 27.00 ncruDDmg ................... HOO fum1gat1ng ................. 500 Ieiephon1ng IA. .05 Soap, Golddust, etc ............ 400
 LotdI .$121.95
 Nothing was charged or thought of with reference to rent An additional janitor was needed while the men were there, when they left, the place they occupied was thoroughly cleaned and fum1gated; the coal charged for was used for accommodation, and the bill for te1ephonfng was contracted by the men with the understanding that it should be sent to the doriptrolle~. Tn fact. thS clerk talked this matter over with the officers so that tlare was no misunderstanding about it. People will differ, honestly, too, perhaps ss to whether any bill should have been sent to the comptroller by the board For education, but that's another mai ter People who want to be fair about it should state what it was for and then, find fault if they don't like ! It. The idea of saying 1t was for rent when as a matter of fact it was for Ia-
 Dor and supplies shows disposition to deceive the public. We are having
 too much of this for the good of Wa
 terbury.
