THE SCHOOL sQUAD3lI.
| Man Cenvsrsans With AaAifs enl
 Eucks nill Writes.

Editor of Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: Concerning the sQuabblc in the Bucks Hill school district, will you allow reader of your paper few words? How 1t all commenced, and how 1t could be easily settled. All the trouble commenced by the residents and property owners ad- jacent the old schoolhouse. The ghil- dren's coming and going, shouting and playing In the highways, has been very annoying to them and for years they have been planning to get rid of the old schoolhouse. By their influence and the aid of the school visitors they have succeeded ill selecting new site away from their premises which is en- tirely satisfactory to them, but very unsatisfactory to large majority of the people of the district. These peo- pie seem determined to build on this inconvenient site. no matter how ex- pensive or inconvenient 1t may be. Allow me to say if schoolhouse is ever built on this site it will be through some device or underhanded work by these people. This will cause hard feelings and stir up strife.
 Most of the people in the district are desirous of building new schoolhouse, but they want 1t built in convenient place, and they do not want to be put to unnecessary expense by building on a ledge of rocks, and who could blame them? All this contention could be settled at once if the owners of land near the old schoolhouse would offer to. give or sell at reasonable price land sufficient for school purposes
 It seems to me that if they had the least spark of public spirit they would not refuse. They would gain the good will of all and stop all this strife and contention. Will they do it or will they continue to harass the district by every means in their power to gratify their selfish purpose? If they are still stubborn cannot see as we are any nearer to a new school. house than we were year ago.

Great activity is shown among members and there was an amount of business before the meeting that is remarkable considering tine short time the society has been or ganiZed. It also came up that there is a misunderstanding among residents concerning the object of the society No idea of social club or club for the advantage of any particular sec ton or parties of the district was ever entertained. The society is for the benefit of the whole school district and it is the duty of every resident or tax payer to join in the effort for improve ments. Next regular meeting, July 14

ECHOES FROM BANQUET
Judte Cowell "Threatens" neportSrs
 For Quoting Expsnsss.

The echoes Of the lawyers banquet held last Monday evening in The Elton were heard in the district court room at short calendar this morning. There was barrel of fun, q great deal more, 1t is said, than was at the banquet or could have been at ten banquets like 1t. Incidental to the fun Judge Cowell threatened the court reporters with de capitation if they published word about the expenses of the banquet, and worse than that, the reporters will not be invited to the next banquet.
 A voice from the rear: 'They weren't invited to this one" Roars of laugh ter in which even the court joined. Att torney O'Neill read the items of ex. pense, which were as follows:
 Fifty-two dinners, $o.5O each; fifty. two champagne cocktails, 25 cents each, SIS; one bottle of Mumm for the invited guests, $3.5O; punch, $6; rooms for Judges Gager of Derby, Peck of Bristol and Attorney Williams of Der by g each, $6; music, SIG; flowers, "A; 100 menu cars. $50.
 If you gentlemen of the press re- port theseedteMs you will not be lp-, Slteu to rtItpucAV Dduquct, yOu Cull ue- pend on that. It will be breach of journalistic etiquette for you to pub fish what we poor lawyers (roars of laughter) pay for entertaining each other and our guests,' said Judge COwell"
 q think" said Mir O'Neill, trying to suppress smile." that we ought to have done this as the board of safety do their business, that is, In executive session."
 Well, now," said Judge Cowell, "I wish the press representatives would remember that they will not be In- vited to the next banquet, not even as spectators, if they publish this mat ter" Even the judge himself. sombre as he generally is, could not repress n smile, while the gentlemen of the bar" roared with laughter.
 Mir ONeill resuming said there was a balance of some $50 or $60 left and he did not know what to do with 1t. Whether 1t would be laid aside for a clambake or a straw ride or would be put out at interest or divided as . dividend. Laughter.
 It was finally decided to leave 1t with the executive committee, that is to put 1t on deposit and leave 1t draw interest.

DELINQUENT FIRMS
Legislature Committee is in a Quan.
 dary What to Do.

The question of what to do with the many corporations which have violated the states laws regarding the filing of annual reports is just now occupying the attention of the legislative commit tee on interpretations, of which Senator Everett J. Lake of Hartford is chair man, and Attorney General William A. King.
 The legislature of two years ago started housekeeping in the state secretary's office in this matter by di- recting an investigation into the num- Der of defunct and negligent corpora tiOns. Judge w. U. Pearne of Mid dletOwn has done the work and the re- suit of his labors was shown some weeks ago when State Secretary TheO- dOre Bodenwein transmitted to the leg islature four lists, one of about 2.OG corporations which appear to be dead and three of corporations that appear to be alive, numbering 1.256 in all, but that have been negligent. !, Of .these. 467 are listed as having filed no re- ports. 462 as having filed reports with the state secretary, but not with the clerk of their town, as required, and 321 more as having filed reports, but as having been late about it.
 Almost every important place in the state is affected. Waterbury corpora tions are in the several lists. Under the state law each corporation Is liable to fine of $10O for each offense and Attorney General King, as the state official to do the prosecuting, has nat urally been interested in the results learned. Two days ago he submitted to the committee some general recOm- mendations and bills for presentation to the legislature, if the committee ap- proved of them, carrying out his sug- gestions. He suggests that it would be no use to bring actions against de- funct corporations and that it would be better if they were wiped out of the illegal returns may be validated and that the delinquents might be giv- en another chance, or action be brought against them.

ABOUT STATE EXPENSES.

Warming to Legislators that the Ap-
 propriations are Too High. 1. In the senate Thursday Senator Pattison. chairman of the committee on appropriations. voiced warning to the general assembly to be cautious as to appropriations, so as to avoid running beyond the revenues of the state for the next two fiscal years.
 Reading from figures he had com piled he said that the revenues of the state for the past year. ending Sep tember 90. were 3.31S.SS9.1S. For the two years ending on that date the expenses were sI.025.0O0 including ap- propriations made ny the legislature of 1903. aggregating s6.3O0.OOo: sums aggregating S325.000 expended through the board of control with deficiencies of siOOOOO which have been made up by legislation this session. To this sum of SI.U2J.Oo0 must be added in creases in various departments. viz: Judicial .....-.--...... sI,-.p Educational .. IS2. 2.JOO Humane institutions ,... tlu.opO Agricultural 6lormitory at the
 agricultural collegel .... Gp.Oco Now objects ..... 1OO.0nO
 This would make total of Ss.s12.- 1.O for the next two years ar S4.4UG- D.., annually. while the annual reven- lie. taking that of 1901 for basis. is only about S3.3oo.oc0.
 These figures came out In the de- bate on the appropriations for good reads. Senator PattfsOn obiecting to any increase of the appropriation of SlGG.0ro his committee had agreed up- on. it being the same as for the past two years
