ABOUT TOWN REMEMBRANCE.
Increased Expenses Due to New High School and Town Hall-Otherwise Debt Would Have Decreased.

Some figures taken from the town records are of very much interest at this time when, within the past two weeks absurd claims have been made as to the way the town has been run ming in debt during the past few years en account of eXtraVagant manage ment Starting with the admission of the fact that the debt of the town has increased by many thousands of dollars during the past few years, an investigation to account for the in crease shows that, during the past 13 years, it has been mere than wholly due to the construction of the new high school building and the purchase of the town hall block. two items of expense that total S73,56196.
 The total cost of the high school building and it's equipment and the grading of the grounds is shown by the town reports to have been S53,- 5b1.S6. The town hall building cost s20,005. Subtracting these two am cunts, totalIing $7S,551.36, from the total debt of the town in 1911, shown by the town reports to be s195,912.36, the debt of Killingly exclusive of these investments would have been SEP l 361, which later amount is S4,634 less than the total of the town debt in 1898 19 years before, when it am- ounted to s126,995.
 These figures therefore indicate that l if Killingly had not built the high school and purchased the town hall | building that the debt at the end et l 1911 would have shown an average yearly decrease of $356.46 since 1898 and demonstrates where the big in- crease comes from The figures also l indicate that without the expense Of | the two buildings mentioned that Xii | iingly during the 13 years has lived

Pnints of a Good Cellar.

An ideal cellar should have good ventilation, plenty of light, a good drain and a high ceiling. The walls and floor should be smooth and prefer ably of finished cement. This will in sure a minimum amount of dust col- lecting on the walls. Where there is plenty of light there will be fewer cob webs, which invariably go with most cellars, says the Kansas Industrialist. The number of rooms in the cellar de- pends upon the uses to which the eel lar is to be put. By all means. there should be one dark room for canned fruit vegetables etc: a washroom, hanging room in which to dry the clothes and then a room for general purposes, in which to keep a refrigera- tor for the milk, butter, etc. If a furnace is to be used, there must be a furnace room, provided with enough room for coal and Iindling. It is bet Yer to have the fuel room separate from the room in which the furnace Is located. but directly adjoining. Four five rooms are enough for the or dinary cellar. The size of the rooms will depend upon the uses to which they are to be assigned and they should be arranged to facilitate. best. their constant use

Such circus as those cars figured in earlier in the day was not the kind of a one the anxious little fellow would care to be identified

 when it was wrecked. They showed some bruises and were feeling the eff fleets of the crash, but were sticking to their jobs and not. lacking in nerve after their narrowing experience. The cars that went through here showed
 little to indicate that they had been in | the smash.
