ESTIMATED EXPENSES
AND RECEIPTS FoR YEAR.
Statement of Seiectmen, Who Recon-
mend Six and Halt Mill Tax.

The board of selectmen have made
up their. list of estimated expenses and
receipts for the ensuing year. which
contains the following:
During the year the work of repair
Ing highways, and particularly the
parts which are maca dannized, went on
almost continuously while weather
that repair work on macadam roads be
kept up. as the expense of repair fol-
lowing neglect in this respect is vastly
beyond what it would average if roads,
once constructed, were not allowed TO
become and remain out of repair
The state has finished the building
Of an improved highway upon the
Scotland road, and the result of the
work there seems to give general sat
isfaction. The road, though completed
Aug. 9th. has not yet been given the
formal stamp of official acceptance by
the state highway commissioner, and
consequently the town has not been
called upon to pay the one-quarter OF
the expense of its construction for
which the law provides. This demand
will probably have to be met soon, and
will be found the item of state Road,
1911, $1,500,' which is to be kept on
hand for this obligation.
Another expense item arises from
the proposed plan of oiling certain
reads which particularly require such
attention.
The town treasurer's report shows
that as result of the years work the
town debt has been reduced over $685.
000 Every undisputed obligation
against the town has been paid.

and receipts for the fiscal year ending

UNAVOIDABLE REPORT ON
CORRUGATED IRON BUILDINGS.
Fire Commi ssioners Believe 1t mad
visabIe to Permit Their Construction.

Before the meeting of the executive
committee of the court of common
council on Monday evening there was
presented a report by the fire commits
sioners through Chairman Beckley re-
garding the petition of the A c. Swan
company for permission to erect a cor
rugated iron addition to their building
off Myers alley. The commissioners
were named to act in this matter with
power and reported that they had de-
cided not to permit the erection of the
building.
Chairman Beckley also reported that
the petition of O. H. Reynolds to erect
a corrugated iron building in Chestnut
street had been investigated and it was
reported inadvisable to allow its con-
struction. The report was accepted
and the petitioner given leave to with
draw. This form of construction, Mr..
Beckley said, it was considered unwise
to sanction in the fire limits. There
have been numerous petitions for such
and more will come if permission is
granted for some of them.
Permission to erect a small garage
of corrugated iron on property of
Charles Fox on Main street, said to be
practically on the fire district limit,
was granted. 1t was said no gasoline
would be stored there

ceived, they being for better lighting of

TAXPAYERS INTERESTED
AT SEWER HEARINGS
Sewer Commissioners Hear Those At
fected in the Council Chamber.

On Monday evening there were two
hearings on sewer assessments in the
common council chamber before the
committee named to hear parties in
terested, which includes the sewer
committee and Mayor Thayer
The sewer in Laurel Hill avenue was
the first taken up. This cost $82110,
having been built through a ledge for
some distance. On the west side of
the avenue, five of the houses have a
private sewer entering the trunk sew
er at the rear, and those on the east
side have a private sewer in the
street.
N, D. SEWN stated that the SEWN
property on the west side was sewer
ed into the trunk sewer to the river,
and the Norman, Branch, O'Brien and
Wulf properties enter the trunk sew
er also, either by his sewer or di-
rectly. He was willing to give the
city in writing the right of way of
the trunk sewer across his property in
return for relief of the assessment for
the new sewer No record of the con-
veyance of the right to cross his
land can be found in the records. l..
Leone Branche and Henry Norman
were willing to make the same agree
ment Fl. F. Palmer for Byron O'Brien
said that property was severed
through the SEWN sewer for which a
lease is held. To enter the avenue
sewer he said he would have to blast
through y solid ledge. He could see
no benefit from the new sewer.
William Baker also has to go through
solid ledge to get to the sewer. He
now uses a cesspool but thought he
could connect with the O'Brien sew
er.
On the east side the Rogers heirs
said they received no benefit, as their
property is a high ledge.
Everett B. Dawley said he had a
private sewer and could see no ben
eft from the new sewer. He also said
his house was injured by the blast
ing when the sewer was built, to the
extent of IS or more, which had never
been fixed. F. O. Smith thought those
entering the private sewer ought not
to pay for public one Civil Engi-
neer Pitcher said there was no record
of privilege being granted to lay the
private sewer. 1t is not large enough
would not have been needed
For the North Thames street sewer
which cost $264.63. H. NJ. Land said
his property was not benefited by it,
and James Fitzpatrick, upon being
told that the city health officer asked
for the sewer there, declared that it
was not necessary and other nuisances
should be abated first.
Later in the evening the committee
considered the claims set forth and
on the Laurel Hill avenue sewer it
will be reported 10 the council that
the city stand about 5000 of the ex-
pense of the sewer because of the ex-
listing conditions. This will reduce
the assessments about 80 cents a foot.
The assessments in North Thames
street were found to be just.

District-No Action Taken On Manual Training

for the It'll, 9Th and 9th grades that
the pupils may know the use of tools,
but it is not intended as vocational
training. He thinks it helps their other
to three hours a week. There is a
room in the Broadway building which
could be used for that purpose.
c. Edward Smith, G. Fred Noyes and
DR.. Cassidy spoke favorably of it, but
in view of the fact that there were
but a dozen present, and that there
was no provision in the estimates, it
was thought better to go over to come
up next year. but no action was taken.
President Brownine's Report.
President A. A. Browning read the
report of the board for the year show
ing 1,527 pupils enumerated last year
and 50 pupils neither absent nor tar

Gymnastic exercises have been intro
duced in the schools daily and sim
pie and combatauive exercises have
also been introduced. A class of So
was graduated in June and 81 received
admission to the Free Academy with
out examination.
We commend heartily to the parents
and patrons the teaching force of the
Central district as experienced, able
and untiringly devoted to the good OF
the pupils under their charge. We
urge a cordial support of and sym
pathy with the teachers, principals and
superintendent in their work.
Treasurer Leavens referred to the
fact that at the close of the school
year the board felt justified in adding
to the salary of each teacher the in
crease of $50 a year.
This completed the business and ad-
journment was taken about S.10
o'clock.
Following the meeting the school
board met and elected Tyler D. Guy
