ANNUAL BANQUET DEFERRED. Board of Trade Votes to Wait Until Later-Address Upon Vocational Training.

The regular monthly meeting of the Willimantic Board of Trade and Busi- ness Mems association, Inc, Tuesday evening was prefaced by delightful entertainment committee, with about 75 members present.
 A short business session was called to order by President William A Z Ar mold at 7.30
 Rev William s. Beard, chairman of the entertainment committee, reported in regard to the matter of a banquet. He stated that two types had been considered, one a get-together affair, the other more elaborate. The latter would cost about s a plate. with an extra $190 taken from the treasury. A third suggestion was tP defer the matter until next fall, when it might be possible to obtain eX-President William H. Taft as the speaker of the occasion. Mir. Beard stated that the committee had been in communication with Mir. Taft and could not secure him for the present.
 The last of the alternatives sug- gested was accepted by vote and the committee empowered to make the necessary arrangements.
 The matter of a cleanup week to be held some time in the spring was called to the attention of the meeting by w. P. Jordan. and committee of six was authorized to be appointed by the chair to take up this matter.
 President Arnold stated that 20 tickets had been placed among the members for the annual banquet of the state association to be held in Hart ford the 10th of this month, and said he would try to obtain other tickets if anyone present desired to go.
 He then introduced the speaker of the evening, Howell Cheney, of Man chester whose address was upon Vo- cational Education.
 MT. Cheney was a splendid forceful talker, setting forth the case of the trade school in a most convincing man ner. His address was one of the best heard at the meetings of the aSsocla- tion fer some time The remarks were prefa ced by a story of the speaker $ introduction to factory life, which oc- cured in this city at the American Thread company.
 The reasons for vocational schools, part-time schools. etc, their methods. and some examples of present schools, were fluently presented by Mir. Cheney. The cost of starting school Of that nature and running it the first year, he estimated at s6.000. At present many children were coming from the sixth grade instead of the eighth, he said and many of them were those who were back of children of their own age in development or schooling but the brighter child is beginning to see the advantages to be gained from the courses and coming into the schools.
 At the conclusion of his formal talk Mir Cheney answered many questions from his audience, showing the inter- est which was taken in the subject by all who were present;

tric light service was available, no at tempt being made to establish them, as it was impossible. A chimney fire in the Chappell home reused the viI- iagers considerably during the evening but no serious damage was done. It was impossible to get the engine to the fire, as the streets were so slippery the men could not keep their footing. The cars on the Groton and Stoning ton line were held up on account of the breaking of dam near Trails Corner at Poquonoc and the conse- quent flooding of the tracks and meadow land adjoining. The last car out of Groton reached the carbarn m Mystic at 4 o'clock Monday morning, with decidedly tired out crew.

Public Service Board
Takes Questions Home

Public Service Commissioners ad-
journed late yesterday and took the
pass question home with them. The
board will take no action regarding
free passes and reduced fares until
after the Briefs now being prepared
by some of the petitioners for these
concessions, shall have been filed. At
the hearing in this matter statements
were made that additional facts would
be furnished the commission in sup
port of the proposition to restore the
pass arrangement, and it seems to be
the attitude of the commission to OBJ
tain all the information possible before
indicating it's view on the question.
In reply to numerous queries as to
the method which shall be observed
by steam railroad companies in sup
plying sanitary cups for drinking pur-
poses on the trains and in the sta
tions, the commission has decided for
the present to leave that to the car
riers, without any designation as to
the manner in which the public is to
be served in this regard.
