SCHOOL INTERESTS.
Better Heating for 6uiIdings-Pupjls
Being Transported to High School,.


Proposals for the installation of
steam heating plants in the public
schools at Dayville and Attawaugan
are being considered by the finance
committee of the town school board,
The two schools mentioned are now
heated with stoves and this method is,
not at all times satisfactory.
The proposal for steam heating the
Attawaugan school building calls for
the expenditure of $3.50. the equipment
to consist Of heater OF modern type
and five radiators. The proposal for
the Dayville school calls for the ex
penditure of s45U, the equipment to
consists of heater. of the same type
as is proposed for the Attawaugan
school, and seven radiators.
Another matter that is being consid-
cred by the school board is the fur
nishing of transportation for II stu
dents. from Williamsville who are at
tending the gratlnar school in Dam
ielson. Since the beginning OF the
present school year the students have
been carried between Williamsville
and Danielson by Frank Kennedy Of
Dayville at an expense of SO a day
to the town. This, however. is only
temporary arrangement. The at
tendance of the Williamsville students
at tisa school in Danielson has per-
mitted closing the higher grade of the
school in that village. There will be
very little difference in the cost of
transporting the students to Daniel
son and the cost of maintaining an
extra grade at the Williamsvifle
school, as the salary of one teacher is
saved 1t is understood that the pres
emit arrangement is very satisfactory
to the parents of the wililamsville
students that are attending school in
Danielson. 1t is the opinion also Of
members of the school board that bet
ter results can be obtained 10y this
plan Of Capitalization.
To Vote on License.
The petition that clause be insert
ed in the warning for the annual town
meeting asking that a vote be taken
on the license question in the town of
Killingly has been filed and has more
than two hundred signatures append
ed The time for filing the petition
expired Monday at midnight. The
number of names necessary to secure
to sget a vote on the matter in this
no-license people will begin siren
uous campaign to win victory at the
polls.
Various Items.
Scarcely a potato bug can be found
in this town and the pest has almost
entirely disappeared and where the
bugs have gone or what has caused
them to GO away are matters that hold
considerable interest for those who
like to know about such things.
There is not much prospect that
Killingly high school will have foot
ball eleven this fall. There is not a
great amount of material at the school
out of which to mould team and the
material at hand is not exceeded by
the interest to develop a team. 1t is
probable. however, that the school will
be represented by a fast basketball
team.
Thousands Of railroad ties are be-
ing loaded on work train at Day
vile this week to be taken and dis
tributed at various points along the
division. For many months ties have
been brought in to Dayville by per-
sons having them for sale to the rail-
road company and at present there
are many thousands of the sleepers
piled up at that station.
