SCHOOL BOARD
Does Not Care to Increase Expense b,
Hiring Extra Rooms.

At a special meeting of the town
school board held in the office of the
secretary, Attorney Charles L. Torrey,
at o'clock Monday afternoon. with
somewhat lengthy discussion of the
complaints of parents of first grade
pupils in the Israel Putnam school re-
gard1ng the present school room in the
third story of the building it was vot-
ed that although the school board
does not approve of the present &C
commodation. yet in view of the fact
that the town is spending a large sum
of money for schools this year, and
that when the present high school is
vacated there will be ample room in
the old high school to relieve the con-
gestion in the Israel Putnam school,
and further, because of the fact that
the board finds after consulting ply
sicians that the sanitary conditions of
rooms available in the vicinity of the
Israel Putnam school are no better
than the present accommodations, that
the school board will take no action in
the premises. It was estimated in the
discussion that the rent and expenses
of hiring new rooms for the first grade
pupils would be above $500 a year, and
the school board did not believe it
would be justified in mourning such ex-
pense at the present time.
The action of the board on the mat
ter was taken in view of complaints
that have come in. A petition for act
ion by the board had also been cir
culated. There are about forty pu-
pills in the grade, which has been 10

Leased by Now Company-Moosup
Polish Man Missing.

Instead Of showing a total voting
strength In excess Of 1,eo0. as expected,
the voting lists being prepared by the
registrars TOR the fan elections will
give Killing1y only 1.5eS electors, a de-
crease OF rs from 1909. This fact is
explained as the result of a careful
scrutiny Of the lists by the board of
registrars and the removal Of all names
of persons regarded as deadwOod.
No names have been removed. hoFeveT,
without due warrant for such action.
There were f.5s5 voters registered IN

ing of the officials on Saturday. the
last day for admitting electors before
the annual town meed5ng. TfIis gain,
though, was more than offset by the
names removed.
The following comparative statement
by districts viii show what the voting
strength was last year and what It will
be this year: 190s--Dfstrict No. 1, 856;
District No. 2. 52S; District No. 3, 201 :

District No. 2, 465; District No. 8, 206;
total 1909.
The heaviest loss is in the Second
district, SO Of the total shrinkage of
rs being charged against that section
of the town. This Is due largely to
the fact that the mill of the Williams
Vile Manufacturing company has been
idle in part for some months. Only
SO voters are now resident in the Sew
enth school district of Kitinsly, this
district including Williamsville. The
loss Of voting strength in the First dis
trict was IS. ands in the Third district

To improve Highways.
Specifcations and plans for the two
stretches of nacadam road to be built
in Killingay with state aid have been
received by the selectsner1 Of the town.
The sections Of highway to be i'm
proved extend from the bridge at Elm
Vile to Kelley's corner at DayvdHe and

While the town reports just issued
show that the debt of Killingly has in
creased in excess OF $4,000 during the
past year there has been as a matter
of fact a decrease in the actual ex-
penses of running the town during
that period, the total amount of orders
drawn by the selectmen being less
than 1t was for the previous year, this
also being true OF the total amount OF
the orders drawn on the account Of the
school committee as compared with
last year The above stat e1n ent, as far
as 1t applies to the selectmen, must be
considered as meaning that the amount
of their orders was less this year than
last with the SIS 00e order drawn for
