TWO WEEKS VACATION.
Voted by School Board for Pupils of
 Model School.

There was a meeting of the town school committee Wednesday evening. The committee on repairs, through c. c. Case, chairman, reported that F. w. Gerrick had been awarded the con tract for the installation of the steam heating plant at the North Windham school for 325. This was the lowest bid of four received
 At the request of Principal H. T. Burr of the normal school, the chil- dren of the model school were voted two weeks vacation at Easter and are to keep in session a week longer than usual in June, in order that the 18th anniversary of the normal school. which will be celebrated at that time, may come later than the regular ses- sions elsewhere, and other teachers may find it possible to be present.
 Homer F. Woodwork was engaged as janitor of the Windham Center school at salary of $30 a month A library appropriation of $230 was voted the schools.
 After First Selectman R. E. Mitchell, who was present. had suggested to the committee that arrangements be made. whereby the janitor of the high school and the regular janitor of the town building cooperate in caring for the heating apparatus at the building in order to save the expense of an extra man this winter the matter was

There was a disposition in official quarters to doubt whether an election could be held in which the constitu- tionalists would agree to participate unless General Huerta withdrew from all connection with the government at the Mexican capital. This had pre- viously been made plain to the United States government as one of the things which the constituencies would in- sist on before they laid down their arms It was apparent, however, that Washington officials here would look with favor on any movement that would bring about a suspension of hos tilities.
 The attack on Tampico by the rebels added today to the anxiety of the Washington administration about for eigners and their interests. Nothing was announced from the state depart ment about conditions at Tampico, but the report that the rebel general had advised the removal of foreign resi- dents added gravity to the situation.
 The despatch of British ships to Mexican waters occasioned no surprise to the state department, as there had been previous indications through of ficiaI channels that there might be sent extra ships to look after British inter-

ested subscribers and others between the hours of ? and 5 and to g, Thurs day afternoon and evening.
 The visitors were welcomed at the door by Manager A. L. Weatherhead of the local exchange and passed through the offices to the rear part of the building, where they were taken in charge by District Commercial Manager R. H. Gray of Norwich and his assistants who minutely explained the workings of the intricate and up to-datc telephone system. The courtesy and hospitality of the officials and of everyone connected with the plant was an agreeable fea- ture of the extremely interesting and profitable tour of inspection. Among those assisting MT. Gray were N. J. Pond. $. W. Bryant. H. k. Reed, E. J. Hunt, J. c. Darbee, c. w Dow, M. D. Willard, Miss C. E. Coul | and Miss Ella Hughes of Norwich, Miss A. Thurman and w l.. Moran of Putnam
 The building itself was begun in No vember, 1912, and the local lines were cut over into it September 26, 1913. | It is two story brick and concrete structure, the interior woodwork of oak, with plastered and tinted walls. It is light and roomy and said to be one of the best adapted buildings for telephone purposes in the state. In the basement is the heating plant including a self feeding furnace, the stock room and linesmanS quarters. On the ground floor are the offices, the commercial department and the ter mina1 room. with all(the apparatus re- quisite for an up date plant.
 The second floor is used entirely by the operating department, comprising locker, lunch and rest rooms and the large room in which the new switch board is installed
 There are twelve positions at the switchboard, four for long distance and eight for local business. The ca pacity of the board is 1900 subscrib- CTS, or nearly double the present num- Der. There are in the board about one hundred miles of wire, 6,520 jacks, 376 cords, 359 plugs, 1, 1892 lights, 1,702 relays, 103 repeating coils and near ly 60,000 soldered joints.
 This is quite a change from the first days of the Willimantic exchange, back in 1882 which was located in the place of business of H. E. Remington, at 766 Main street with one operator and only twenty-five subscribers lines. By 1883 the number had increased to one hundred and soon thereafter the space in the store became too small and quarters were furnished on the second floor of the Windham county bank building.
 This site was used until the cut over into the new building this fall.
 At present there are 25 operators in the local force, handling on an aver age 12,500 local calls in a day of 24 hours

Chimney Fire Thursday.

A call from box B about 630 Thurs day evening called out the fire depart ment for a chimney fire in the Twin house. so-called, at the corner of Ma pie avenue and Oak street, owned by Theophile Loiselle and occupied as a three tenement house.
 The Alerts were first on the scene, and the fire was taken care of with chemical from the roof, after an un- successful attempt to get at it from underneath.
 There was some doubt where the fire was, several thinking it was in the Natchaug school building, where the worlunen had fires burning to keep their cement construction from freez- ing.
 When the Montys got to the box a man standing nearby told them the machine shop was on fire, and their hose was all paid out there before the real location of the fire was known.
