RESClNDs VOTE ON
 SEATS FOR TOWN HALL.
Town Meeting Lays Down Rules for
 Selectmen.

Danielson. July 1.-The special town meeting Wednesday afternoon referred to the next annual town meet ing in October the matter of deciding whether new seats shall be purchased for the town hall The meeting called out a large number from the various villages of the town and there was unusual interest. William P. Kelley of Dayville was selected chairman of the meeting and Frank T. Preston was clerk. Immediately after the meet ing was called, Judge Milton A. Shum- way introduced a resolution calling In its first provision for the resembling of the contract made by the selectmen for new seats and instructing the se lectmen to insert clause in the warn ing for 6the next annual town meet ing, to See if the voters will decide at that time to buy new seats.
 Another section of the resolution was to instruct the selectmen to make no contracts for seating the hall or providing other furnishings unless em- powered to do so in a meeting called for the purpose.
 After a very lengthy debate the res olution was passed by a vote of 93 to B. The first argument in favor of the passing of the resolution was made by Judge Shumway. First Se- lectman John A. Gilbert explained the position of the selectmen in the mat ter, disclaiming any intention to fix the hall for Q theatre, as some had intimated was being done. He said the matter of providing new seats has been under consideration for a long time by the SeIectmen and that it had former ly been decided that it would be ad- visable to secure them.
 The claim to provide new seats was advocated by Judge A. G. Bill. He said he suggested that the idea is whether the town was to give up the town hall to help the Orpheum thea tre to success. w. S. Brown, owner of the Orpheum theatre, was another principal speaker against the plan to purchase new seats for the town hall. He made number of short speeches, during the meeting. which was final ly adjourned about 430 o'clock.
