Beginning Made at Town Meeting in
 West Haven Last Night
 There was not a very large attend anoe at the special town meeting of the town of Orange held at West Haven town hall last evening.

 The meeting was presided over by Charles F. Smith and the secretary was George H. Thomas. Clarence Clark, president of the Village Improvement society, spoke in favor of establishing the library and said that no aid could be expected from Andrew Carnegie un- til the borough had made start, Warden James H. Peck was opposed to taking any action because of the small number present at the meeting He wished the matter laid over until the annual town meeting.
 The proposition was put to vote and passed, It provides that the library shall be free public library under the charge of the executive board of the Village Improvement society, The town treasurer Is authorized to receive con- tributions for the project. The sum of $500 is to be appropriated yearly by the town for the maintenance and in crease of the library and is to be han dled by the Improvement society
 When seen after the meeting Pres ident Clark of the Improvement society said that he would send copy of the vote to Mr. Carnegie in hopes of getting some aid from him. He also intends to apply for the $200 in books allowed by the state. No room or building has been provided for the books and Mir. Clark did not know when provision would be made. He hoped there would be some arrangement whereby the library would be opened in the fall

LEROY HOBART AVOIDING.


 The funeral of LeRoy Hobart Wood- ing, who died on Wednesday, was held yesterday afternoon at half past two o'clock at the residence of his parents, 1885 DiXwell avenue, The services were largely attended by the friends and rel atives of the young man, taken from this life at it's unfolding. Rev, Mir. GAll- man of Ansonia and Rev. Dr, Lawrence of Hartford conducted the services The pall-bearers were: Floyd Beecher, Wilfred Munson, Wally Warner and Fred Vaile. Interment was in the Ham den Plains cemetery.
 The death of Mir Wooding has sad dened the entire community
 Besides his parents, two sisrets, Mrs. Cullen F. Smith and Miss Ethel D.. Wooding, also a young brother, Leland, survive him.
 Mir Wooding graduated from Board man high school with the class of 1904 and then associated with his father in business until attacked with diabetes last November
 While in Q weakened condition since that time, he had maintained his usual cheearfulness, and not having been confined to his bed until this last week. his death consequently came as a great shock to the host of friends which his sterling characters and genial disposi- tion had won for him.
 He was a member of the Hamden M. F. church, Epworth League and Sab bath school, also of the Y. M. c. A., and his popularity in these circles, as well as that which he enjoyed with both teachers and classmates in his school associations, is @ high tribute to the bright young life just closed.
 Stahl & Son had charge of the fun eral.
