ing-SoCiaI Events, and
Other Happenings.

Yesterday afternoon the Coventry town
council held special meeting and can
vassed the voting lists. About the town
clerks on1ce where the meeting was held
a number of the taxpayers congregated
and the general topic OF gossip semed TO
be the coming town meeting, which Is
said 10 be held at Coventry on next Tues
day morning. The impression still seems
10 be that the subject OF the meeting Will
be given a cold reception and will proba-
bly, be killed. The opinion may be we'll
founded, as the sentiment among the ma
iority of the taxpayers Of District No.
3 Is against the proposition. and II is even
stated by one who is we'll posted in such
matters that even In No. district there
are many who are i'm favor of allowing the
schools remain closed until the annual
meeting which does not occur until May.
In District No. the majority of the tax
payers appear 10 he I'm favor of the extra
appropriation and that part OF the town
Intends TO make a special effort 10 carry
the project At any rate the outcome Of
the affair is awaited with considerable in
terest and without doubt the meeting will
be largely attended and the contest may
be warm.
