APP0NAUG

Robert T. Thurber and James f. Nc
Cusker, members of the special commits
sion appointed by the taxpayers of War
wick at the financial town melting last
November, to erect a $4,000 school build
Ing at Pontiac, met at the town hall at
Apponaug. yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF receiving bids. The commits
sion invited five contractors to participate
in bids Four of these sent in bids which
were discussed at the meeting yesterday,
but the committee decided to delay the
award until the site donated by Mr..
Knight should be formally transferred to
the town. the deeds not yet having passed.
1t Is expected that this necessary trans
action will be done in the next few days
when the name OF the successful bidder
will be made public.
Some time ago Mr.. knight made known,
through Mr.. McCusker his intentions to
donate the necessary land to build the
school on, and the site was stated to the
school committee.
BRAYToN TURNED DOWN.
During the past few days. one OF ex-
Boss Braytons lieutenants and, in fact
his chief lieutenant In Apponaug. made q
statement in which he said that the Re-
publican party In the state had deliberate
ly turned down Gen. Brayton in this
campaign and for this reason, he stated,
Col. Goddard would be elected United
States senator. He based his statement
on the fact that the Republican machine
in the state would go and will go to pieces
without the general.
1t is contended that this move Is one of
Brayton's shrewd acts. He will stay in
the rear for the present and watch, what
he terms. THE Younger Element meet
defeat. Then he will expect to be called
to the rescue OF the machine. brimming
with conceit that he Is king of the situa-
ton.
1t is stated that money was sent to War
wick last Tuesday and that already there
is a fight on In the machine as to where
1t is to be expended, and how much each
district will have.
The Democrats and Lincolnltes are TAX
ing steps to prevent any corruption in the
town, especially in Apponaug. on election
day, and any intimidation whatever TO
voters will be dealt with according to law.
