Special Town Meeting Votes $1o,5oo Needed for New High Schoel-city Court Cases--One Hundred Eiks Go- ing to Norwich-Town Topics in General.

A special town meeting, held in Un- ion hall, Monday afternoon. approprl- ated $1O,500 for furnishings for the new high school building and for grading the grounds about it and building walks. Judge L. Ii. Fuller was chair man of the meeting and David Flags clerk.
 The opposition that was talked of did not develop when consideration of making the appropriation came up. Among those who talked in favor and explained why the money was needed were Charles w. Bradway and Attor- ney Charles l.. Torrey. Of the amount appropriated sS,500 will go for ii1- terior furnishings, the remainder for grading and walks.
 The general contractors will have completed their work on the new high school by the end of May. There are twenty rooms in the new building, which in every particular combines all of the most desirable of modern ideas as to what is best in such buildings. It is planned to transfer the pupils in grades 8 and g of the Israel Put nam school, which is eongested, to the new building.

Personal Tax Comes In Slowly.

Taxes on the town list for 1910 were paid quite briskly on Monday. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon approximately Slo,ooo had been taken in by Tax Col iector J. B. Baldwin.
 NO such encouraging news can. how ever Je chronicled with reference to tne collection of the personal tax, as out eight males between the age of 21 ana 6o found their way to the tax col iector's office, room 2 Murray build- Ing, to pay the required s2. To date only 320. including 100 who have prop efty, have paid their personal tax. The legal time for the payment Of this tax Is fast drawing to a close, as but nine more days remain in which to pay the tax. All failing to pay within that llne Will be approached wherever met ana failure to comply with the require ments or che law will necessitate the handing of their names to the prose- cutlrlg attorney and subsequent ha@tng into court.
 Fhe enumeration for the personal tax shows that approximately 2,500 are liable for it's payment and at present less than one eighth of that number have signified a willingness to pay without being approached. It therefore behooves all men liable to step right up and avoid any legal action that will certainly follow-for the personal tax must be paid and will be collected.
