TO RELIEVE THE TOWNS
Effort Being Made to Obtain Help in

Effort Being Made to Obtain Help in
 Road Construction.
 An effort is being made at this session of the legislature to obtain the passage of laws that will relieve the towns from the burden of rod building by placing the cost of the same on the state.
 One bill provides that the highway commissioner shall cause the main roads leading from town to town in the state to be surveyed and cause plans to be prepared for building a section of such trunk line ill each town.
 This road is to be not less than twenty feet wide The highway commissioner shall also have charge of all repairs of such sections of trunk line. The whole amount expended by the state is not to exceed Sl 100000 ill any one year. All state taxes levied upon automobiles shall be set apart and used exclusively for the repairs and maintenance of trunk lines.
 Another bill places on the state the enUlTe COSG OI ueW nlSliNdys III IOWHS having grand list of S1, 900, 900 or less. In any town having larger grand list the state pays two-third and the town one-third. This act provides that the whole amount paid in the smaller towns in any one year shall not exceed $225, 300.
 The idea is to take highway expenses from the towns because of the difficulty they experienced in meeting appropria- tions under the present state law, which requires the towns to pay one-fourth of the amount. In town with grand list of $400, 900 where the rate is l2 or 15 mills it provides a revenue of $4,800. Schools, interest on the debt, care of the poor and town expenses take about two thirds of this, leaving only S1,200 or $l 800 to care for probably fifty or sixty miles of highway. Nothing is left for state road appropriation for new high ways

A SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK.
1t Proved a Decided Success in Pitts field-S84.25 Deposited in One Month

1t Proved Decided Success in Pitts
 field-$84.2 Deposited in One
 Month.
 The success of the school savings bank system in Pittsield may contain a valu- able suggestion for Connecticut. The Journal says;
 ''After being i'll operation one month the Linden School City Savings bank has been found to be Q success, and the system has been adopted in the Orchard street school. During the month the pupils of the school desposited $84. .25 the average number of depositors being 85 week. The deposits were from 5 cents up and during the month two children who had deposited $5 received their money, which was then placed on deposit to their credit in the Berkshire County Savings bank. During the first week the deposits amounted to $14.20 and the last week they amounted to $25 AS. The pupils are displaying a great deal of interest in the bank and this interest is shared by their par ents. None of the children are over 15 years of age and most of the depositors are under 12.

New Britain Bank Treasurer Disap-
 pears and is Found Short in his Ac-
 counts.
 W. F. Walker, treasurer of the New Britain Savings Bank is missing. His disappearance is surrounded by mys- tery. He went to New York several days ago. A telegram was received from New York stating that he had been killed by the cars and later a pack age containing his coat and vest was also received by his family. They be- heve he is mentally unbalanced and sent the telegram and also the package.
 Latest developments show that Walker is defaulter to the extent of at least $350, 900 but it will not effect the solven- cy of the bank. The bank officials re- ceived letter from Walker admitting the dedication. A committee appointed by the bank directors is in New York for the purpose of holding conference with Walker.
