EXPLANATION
BY Mr.. BROWN

With Mr.. ScuIIy.
Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
The extract from the Long Branch
Record in your edition of Friday,
feel does me an injustice. Not that
was misquoted as to what | said,
but the differences which followed.
l had, in short address It Free
hold, referred to Mr.. Scully; action
on the tariff question and when
said, 81 am opposed to everything
he favored" l intended to convey tC
the audience what my views were
on the tariffs, with never a thought
that they would be construed tt
cover all the subjects brought uI
by the editor of the Record
Mr.. Scully may stand for all the
things you stated yesterday, but /
80 he personally has failed to tel
the voters. Simply because a fellow
editor says he stands for them /!
not proof that he does and we have
no knowledge of Mr.. Seully's views
except through what your contem
porary says.
E-.s Yours truly,

SEATS IN TOWN HALL.
w. s. Brown Replies to Statement of
 Seiectmen.

In answer to the statement of the selectmen printed on Tuesday morn ing, w. s. Brown has written the fol- lowing:
 Today. July 17tn. there is to be held town meeting in town hall to purchase new seats for town hall
 The selectmen want to expend $672 to purchase seats that cost less than S120 apiece. They say they can't re- new the lease unless they make this change. Will the selectrnen tell the voters today how they know they can't re-lease town hall7
 They haven't advertised fer bids. They don't believe in advertising for bids The last time town hall was re leased 1t was done without advertising for bids, in face of the fact that there We're several parties who wanted it. enc of whom would have paid &650 a year f6f a five year lease, This is { sample of the selecthen's economical way sf conducting the te+gA's business

STREET oILING STARTED. { Dust-laying Liquid Scientifically Ap- piled by Auto Truck.

Tuesday the work of oiling the city streets. as a result of a vote of the board of aldermen recently, was com menced and the work was watched with great interest by knots of citi- zens here and there where the oil was being applied by the compressing system,
 The oil is applied with a large au tomobile oiling truck instead of the former water sprinkling cart and the new device is a big improvement. The oiiing was commenced at the town farm and Main street clear down to where the block pavement ends oppo site the stone wall was thoroughly oil- ed. Church street between Main and Valley streets was also oiled and oth- CT cross streets will be similarly treated and then portion of Pleasant street. Jackson and other streets that are usually very dusty.
 The application of the oil by means of the auto sprinkler does not leave any pools and consequently the full benefit of the oil is obtained. The ma chine is one that has just been used in the city of Bridgeport quite ex- tensively
 The street committee of the board of aldermen has contracted with the Standard Oil company for the oiling of 1000 square yards of street. People living on the streets where the oil is applied will find that the oil will not inconvenience them as was the case in former years as it is said that the oil is so evenly distributed upon a smooth surface, cleaned of dust, that it cannot be tracked.
 There will be no more dust and the streets will present a much cleaner and heater appearance. $1 900 has been appropriated by the city for the pur- pose this year but it is believed that the appropriation will be much larger another year if the new system works out as well as the work of the first day gives promise.

a competition than it new is It will take $Ss0e9 to place town hall in position to compete with Orpheum the ater. This means an inclined floor, horseshoe gallery and up to date opera chairs. In the event of such change the chairs just purchased by the se- leetmen would be valHeless. To expend $500 for chairs now, as is proposed, would be little better than throwing your money lnte the river.
 In this matter of purchasing chairs the board of selectmen have been di vided. Seleetman Bastew of East Killingly has opposed 1t frem the be- ginning, and, because of his opposition. he has failed to receive notices Of meetings of the board of selectmen, he states. The other members of the board of selectnen have shown an active interest in forcing the issue.
 Never was greater insult shown to the taxpayers of a town than when our selectmen absolutely ignore eur citizens and deliberately vote their money away without their consent. It Is not the first time it has. happened in this town, and, unless stopped by a vote of the citizens, it will not be the last time, unless new men are elected for selectmen.
 When the selectmen took the posi- tion of not advertising for bids for town hall that moment they made a farce of any claim that they might put l forth that they were working for the financial interests of the town. We challenge the selectmen of the town of Killingly to present satisfac- tory evidence. if any they have, as to how they know the lease of town hall cannot be released And if they can not present such evidence, all their arguments and claims for new chairs | fall fiat.
 This town is tremendously in debt It is just such a spirit as the select men are showing in this matter that is responsible for this condition. The se- lectmen forget that they are the ser wants, not the masters, of the citizens 1 of KiAingly. and the citizens ought to remind them of this fact in no uncer- tain manner in the town meeting to- day.
 | In closing, we again extend the chal- lenge to any member of the board ot selectmen to submit evidence to sub stantiate their statement that towT hall cannot be released at the present price. This is the whole question d issue. W. s. BROWN.

Teachers Chosen to Fill Vacancies in Local SchooIs-Misfortune overtakes Webster Lake canoeist-Death Rate Down to 93

A Webster correspondent wrote the following, which appeared in a Wor- cester paper of Tuesday: George Lan- dress, Putnam. Conn. padding all by his lonesome in Webster lake this af- ternoon waved his paddle at two girls walking along the shore of the lake. 1he girls smiled. Then George showed some nice sofa pillows piled up in the canoe and mentioned that it was a fine day for a canoe ride.
 "The girls admitted that it was and George made a flank movement to reach the shore. His turn was too short and the canoe upset, with George and his paddle, together with the sofa pillows, Japanese parasol and other ar ticles, fiOundering in the water.
 George clung desperately to the overturned canoe and yelled for help. He was told by employees of the boat l house that the water was only five feet deep where he was, so he walked ashore, pushing the canoe ahead of him.
 One of the pillows that was fshed out of bhe water, soaking wet, was l lettered: Just for a girl, just for a I girl !"
