TWISTED TOWN MEETING
Provides for High School Education
 for Catholic Pupils. ss

A despatch from Winsted says: The question of providing high school ed ucation for the children of Winchester, which has been the cause of much agi- tation for the past year, as result of the enforcement of. a provision in the will of William Gilbert, the founder, that no. child who has been educated, in a parochial school shall be admitted to the Gilbert school now used by the town as a high school, was satisfac- torily adjusted at the special. town meeting held Friday qight at the re- quest of Catholic petitioners.
 The meeting was attended by about 1000 voters and was in session twelve minutes. Representative George Car rington presided and immediately after the reading of the call Representative R. T. Higgins, one of the towns most prominent Catholics, presented the fol- lowing resolution, which was passed with hardly a dissenting voice: Voted, that the school committee of the town of Winchester. be, and they hereby are, authorized, empowered and directed to provide suitable high school accommo- dations and facilities for all children of the town of Winchester who may be qualified and who hay make applica- tion therefor, either by establishing a high school course of four years, by providing free tuition in any estab lished school of high school grade in the town, or by a one-year course of high school work in our public schools and the remainder of the course in an established school of high school grade in the town"
 MT. Higgins said the resolution was drawn at joint meeting of the com mittee appointed at meeting of the men of St. Josephs church and a com mittee of prominent citizens, and that it was understood that a one-year high school course will be provided at the public school in a separate room and with separate teachers, the children to enter the Gilbert school after the first year and with the hope of ultimately combining the high with the Gilbert school.
 z. Upon the completion of their studies they will receive Winsted. High school diplomas instead of Gilbert school di- plonas. =
 MT. Higgins thought the arrangement a satisfactory one and urged its pas sage. Col. W. B. Smith also favored the, resolution. he being the only other speaker.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR } OLD MYSTIC LINE.
Groton and Stoninston Railroad Diree- tors Take Steps to Find Out Cost of Extension.

Since a meeting of the directors of the Groton and Stonington Railroad company in New London on Friday it is thought that the extension of the line to Old Mystic on the east side of the river is assured.
 Although no definite action was talk . en with regard to the extension, II was that the road should be built under the proper conditions. A committee composed of President Thomas w. Hamilton, Vice President B. F. Will Hams and Supt. Thomas w. Ryley was appointed to look into the matter of cost of construction, grading, ties, land damage, if any should be necessary, and to ascertain the attitude of the people along the proposed route with regard. to the venture. The committee will report at a special meeting of the directors to be called as soon as prac- ticable.
 The building of the road, which as now estimated will cost in the, neigh borhood of $30,O00, will reouire the investment of that much capital in stock or some other form, and it is probable that considerable amount can be disposed of locally. If the investigation of the committee con- vinces that the cost of the new road would be paying investment it is probable that the project will be un- dertaken in the near future. The amount of patronage. and the field to draw from would come largely into consideration. There will besa certain amount of freight traffic to be relied upon and probably the contract for carrying the mails. Passenger service to and from Elm Grove cemetery Is also to be counted on as an item of receipts. The number of trips that would be made per day is. a matter that will take care of itself and would of course be regulated entirely by the patronage.
 A contractor has been engage dto go over the road next Friday to make an estimate on the cost of grading.

TO THE SHORE
 TO ESCAPE THE HEAT.
TroIIeys and Boats Do Record Business
 on Sunday

All Norwich suffered Sunday in the heat as the city had not suffered this summer before, according to the gen. eral verdict, and there was a general rush to find some cooler spot. The result was record breaking traffic on the boats and trolley cars for the beach On the main line from Willi- mantle to New London double service was started at S.45 in the morning, an earlier hour than at any previous time this season. It kept up until late at night, with the cars packed to the run ming boards and some trips there were three cars.
 Around the city a temperature of 120 in the sun was the highest reported, and in the shade 96, sS and 100 was the regular thing.
 Those who tried launch trips down the river reported that there was hardly a ripple on the surface or . breath of air stirring so that they en- dured a grilling from water and sun together. No casualties were reported from the heat and the big traffic was handled with despatch by the trans portatiOn lines.
