BOXING UNCERTAIN
Communication of Mayor to
 Superintendent Beach.

Mayor Thoms in communication to Superintendent of Police Beach yesterday stated that complaint had been made to him that the coming boxing exhibition was to be unlaw- full. Notwithstanding the permit of the board of safety and the mayors approval it looks as though the re- sponsibility has been shifted to the shoulders of Superintendent Beach The communication sent to the chief is as follows:
 Waterbury, December 2, 1907.
 ''To the Superintendent of Police: On Monday, November 25, the board of public safety issued under proper restrictions, permit to George Mulligan of Waterbury to give a sparriIg exhibition in Polls theater on Friday, December 6.
 Complaint has been made to me that under this permit it is proposed to give an exhibition which is un- lawful under Chapter 157 of the Pub lie Acts of 1903.
 Your attention is particularly called to this chapter of the laws of the state, and I shall look to the po- lice department to see that the same is enforced. .<..
 Yours very truly, @ -s 2. ' WILLIAM E. THOMS, .
 ''-.. .-'.. Mayor
 The club has all arrangements completed for the exhibition.

DRILL SEASON OPENED
Co A Met Last Night--Co C Will
 Meet To.Night.

The drill season for Go A, Second Regiment, c. N. G., started last ev- ening while Company G will begin their drilling this evening. The drill ing now begins the first week of De cember instead of the first week of November. Captain H. B. Carter sustained his reputation in surpris- ing his men and last night had the boys guessing when he asked them to present their canteens for inspec- tion. The members of the company did not know what to make of it but Captain Carter informed them it was simply to see if the canteens had been washed since the annual en- campment at Mantle in July. The following appointments were an nounced last evening: Corporal Samuel B. Squires sergeant; Cor poral Howard D. Barlow, sergeant; Private Lewis l.. Atwood, a corporal; Private Henry G. Littlejohn, cor poral; Private Robert G. Hannegan, a corporal; Private Lawrence L.. Lewis, lance corporal; George Hanne- gan cook.

si5,OOO SLICED OFF
Beard of Finance Cutting Down < School Appropriation.

Anyone who has about $15,000 on his hands that he does not know what to do with can give it to the board of education and have his name shine eternally on the keystone tablet of the next school building. The board is very hard up and don't know what to do through lack of mon- ey. The board of finance chopped $15,000 off the estimates for running the schools next year and the entire allowance was $9,000 less than was allowed in 1905.
 The board expected to increase the salaries of a number of teachers, build new school house, add to others, including the Crosby high school. It expected to build side walks and put up lights and do lot of things, which in the opinion ot the hard hearted men who constitute the board of finance there is no need for.
 In view of this abnormal slice of the school estimate, the board of edu- cation as a body said last night in a way of general discussion that it may be necessary to cut out night school entirely next year, at least that DOT ton of it in the Brooklyn district. It may be necessary to do lot of things which the members as individ. uals only just permit themselves to think of, for to mention them would be too horrible in this period of the twentieth century. The normal in crease in salary for the teachers will have to go ,alas and alas, and worse still it may be necessary for some of the members to hike it to the nex. legislature to have something done that will put some sense or idea of the importance of the department of education into the minds of the men of the board of finance.
 It is simply outrageous the way that board treats the board of educa- tion, or rather the department of education. The financial gentlemen simply cut and slash like pirates and highway men of old at the smallest figure that comes from the board of education. If this board sent row of ones to the board of finance the latter would turn every one into an 0. That's only one of the things that makes the board of education mad. \ It was thought to have an assist | ant truant officer beginning next year and the board of education ask Il ed for an allowance of $500 to pay him. And what did the board of fin- | ance do with that recommendation? |? What did Bluebeard and Henry VIII

do to their wives. Gave it to them in the neck.
 That's the way the board of finance has been doing with the board Of education right along. It was well there were no softer hearts at the meeting of the board of education last evening than reporters and some people say they have no hearts at all, else the whole board, reporters, clerk and all would have to swim home through a lake of tears so sorrow laden were the members when they took up this question of sawed off recommendations. They feared that the time will come when the city will be up against it in this matter of education and will have to issue bonds to meet the demands of the school. . asH ary
