 Stra tford. Sept. 5-The meeting of
 the Huntington Road Improvement
 Club, which was held last night at the
 home of Byron c. .Demmon, on that
 thoroughfare, was important for sew
 eEal reasons It was visitors night and members Of the newly formed East End Civic Club and also of the
 Taxpayers Improvement Club and the
 Nichols Avenue Improvement Club
 were present. These clubs are now
 banded together in an association and
 will act in concert in every matter
 which comes up in the town. One
 of the most important matters was
 the effect the action of the associat-
 ed clubs will have on the coming cleo
 tion. John F. Reed was chairman of
 the meeting
 The talk began with the Huntington
 road school for which the voters of
 the town had provided by an appro-
 priation but which has not yet been
 used The special committee ap-
 pointed at the town meeting consisted
 of five citizens who were to act with
 the selectmenl and the Board of Edu-
 cation. Since that time Judge How
 ard J. Curtis has resigned and the The residents of the Huntington road district fear that the delay in the location of the school is deliberate and that the same tactics used in prevent ing the location of the portable build ing on the Huntington road ordered in a town meeting will be repeated and the school house will not be built for another year or not at all. The sentiment at the meeting was strongly in favor of going ahead at once. It was voted to petition for another town meeting to be held as soon as possible to force the matter to an issue. In this matter all the other improvement clubs will stand by the Huntington road people. These people are very to be fooled by special committees any longer. Mrs. Rosamunda c. Winton was present and talked for the Hunt ington road school, and also for her avowed intention to get a mother on the town school committee. She left the selection of the candidate with ciated clubs demanded that she her self be the candidate If there is further choice she will be a candidate for that position
 originally for the purchase of school site on the Huntington road, why should not the town add $500 to this amount and buy the Creevey prop erty? The town will need the whole four acres some day. The town had $500 to squander for the so-called sur vey of sewers It might better put $500 to the appropriation for the school site than to fool it away on some use- less project she said.y
 A side light on the methods of the proposition appeared when MT. Simen dinee1 announced that he was asked if he would abandon his demand for a four room school and be satisfied with two room wooden structure if tn eremainder Of the committee would vote to buy the site asked for by the some of the promoters of the proposi- tion to buy half of the -Creevey prop erty was disclosed when 1t appeared that those who offered to buy half of the four acres demanded that a street be taken from the half to be pur- chased by the town to allow the re-, mainder to be cut up into building lots. Then little politics appeared on the horizon. The original plan Of the associated clubs was that town be taken from all sections punching the town officials at the Center be given so severe a handling that it will not appear again This was reiterated last night
 The following candidates were en- dorsed at the meeting: For first select man, Clarence E.. Palmer; for asses sor, J. W. Simendinger; for justice of the peace, I. D. Smith; and for school Mrs. Rosamunda c. Win ton.
 ing of saloon license on the Hunt Ington road is receiving large num- Der of signatures.
 The East End Civic club voiced a in which the electric lights had been for the gas and gasoline lamps. The promise made at the town meeting that an electric light should replace every one of the other lights had not been fulfilled by the committee in charge: Only about -wo-thirds of the other lights have been replaced by the electrics. The ,Iub will demand the officials blue print which has been lost by the com nittee of citizens who were appoint ed to carry out the plan
 Mrs. Winton presented the follow ng petition which she has started on ts rounds, and every man present signed: he New York. New Haven & Hart 1 oard Railroad Company:
