Confusing Alarm for Small Fire.
BANK MERGER FAVORED
But Not Definitely Agreed Upon
Consolidation Would Mean Much to
Depositors.

Sidney w Bard, newly elected
treasurer of the Windham County
Savings bank, qualified for the office
by filling his bond and took up his
new duties Tuesday morning.
No further developments in the plan
to merge the institution with the
Brooklyn Savings bank may be ex-
pected this week. Treasurer Clarence
A. Potter of the Brooklyn Savings
bank said Tuesday that he expected
to arrange as soon as possible for
meeting of the trustees of that bank
at which the merger proposition will
be the chief matter for consideration.
It is possible that this meeting will
be held next Monday, but the date has
not been definitely fixed. There seems
to be practically a unanimous conf
dence that the Brooklyn Savings bank
trustees will approve the merger plan.
Consolidation of the two institutions
may be brought about, however, only
with the approval of the state bank
commission and in accordance with
very explicit statute directions as to
methods and conditions, which, it is
presumed will be willingly met. Should
the merger plan be consummated it is
not likely to be accomplished within
a period Of at least two months, SO

sUPT. FILES REPORT.
Satisfactory Condition of Schools
During Acknowledgements and 10y
atty of Teachers Commended-Sue-
gestions and Recommendation.

Superintendent of Schools Harold
w. Files reports as follows:
To the School Committee: The pub
lie school enrolment at the close of
April was S42, of whom 442 were boys
and 400 girls. This shows an increase
of 80 in registration over the month
Of March. The average membership
for the month was 656, a decrease Of
Z from the figures for the month of
March. The average daily attendance
the average daily attendance figures
for March. The total number of days
absent for April was S62, as compared
with 1874 1-2 for the month of March.
There were II pupils tardy during the
month and the number of instances of
hardness was "a. In March there were
reported 344 pupils with perfect at
tendance records: in April sos were
reported, falling off Of 3S.
These discrepancies are easily &C
counted for when mention is made of
the uneasiness resulting from sporadic
outbreaks Of contagious disease, the
attendance in the Sawyer district be-
ing especially affected thereby. This
uneasiness and feeling of doubt has
not been confined to the parents of
that district. There is a feeling in
town that the basement of the Israel
Putnam school is responsible for the
disease outbreaks in that building.
I have had some experience with
diphtheria outbreaks and want to say
at this time that, after a careful in
vestigation of conditions in the Israel
Putnam school, by myself, and with
physicians and members of the COM
mittee@ have also fbeen able to make
daily observations am satisfied that
the basement of the Israel Putnam
school is in no way responsible for the
condition. l am not able to state what
conditions are responsible; I would
prefer to leave that for a professional
investigator to determine.
The actual membership in the public
schools at the close of the month was
671, distributed among the different
schools as follows: High school, in
Guiding 40 eighth grade pupils, 204;
Israel Putnam school, $685. Smith
Street school, 101; Sawyer district, Z;
East Putnam. 20; Putnam Heights, Is;
Gary school, 10.
The long continued quarantine at
the Children's home, rendered neces-
sary by new cases, seriously affected
the attendance in the Sawyer district
school, cutting the enrolment from 20
to z. This quarantine was finally raised
Norwich bulletin., 1915-05-12

many formalities are there to be COM
piled with.
From inquiries made Tuesday it was
indicated that a great majority of de-
positors approve the action taken by
the Windham County Savings bank
This feeling, apparently, being chiefly
induced by the strength and prestige
of the Brooklyn bank. The total as
sets of the Brooklyn bank as shown in
in the institutions report as of April
1, is S1,S74, 1882. It's surplus, interest
and profits then amounted to $101, 497.
81. The Windham County Savings
bank which has passed through an ex-
ceedingly trying period since August
1912, now has deposits of approx
mately $613,000. 1t has deserVedly held
through this period the confidence of
its depositors in a remarkable way,
and justify, for the institution has
much underlying strength.
The fact remains, however, that the
restrictions placed upon the bank as
to paying out funds to depositors by
Judge Holcomb, now governor, Wnen
the case of the bank was adjusted in
the superior court, while very wise
and protective, have made it difficult
at times for depositors to use their
money as freely as they would have
liked; so they will welcome the pro
posed merger, which, if carried out
Will make every cent OF their deposits
available any time and give these
deposits very important additional pro-
lection and security.
Since its reopening with privilege
of making restrictive payments to de-
positors, the bank has been efficiently
administered and has been very sue
cessful. The dividend that was due
lats month was earned before the first
of 1915, and the semi-annaul dividend
due next month is already earned and
could be paid today. The bank has a.
strong board of officers and trustees.
Its surplus is $4,000.

ECONOMY THE SLOGAN.
Special City Meeting Votes Against
Appropriation for Street Improve
nents,


The plan approved by the common
council for putting permanent pave
ment on Union square and the short
stretch of Main street yet unpaved
was turned down at special city
meeting Tuesday by a vote Of 317 to
258. The plan to make appropriations
for improvements in Tatem, Florence,
board Some of the opposition to the
appropriations was due to the desire
of citizens for greater economy in city
expenditures, but it was generally con-
coded that the chief reason for the
defeat Of the improvement plans was
the united stand made against them
by voters from the Rhodesville section
Of the city.
DR. Orner Larue stated to the meet
ing the desire of the residents in the
ments to Providence street and other
streets in that section before any more
improvements are made in the south
and east part of the city. His argu-
ments were to be supported, 1t later
proved, by practically solid backing
of the voters from the Providence
street section. Although this became
apparent before the voting had pro-
ceeded any great length of time, the
effort made to overcome it by hurrying
out automobiles to bring in voters
who had taken it for granted that
there would be no serious opposition
to the Improvement plans was started
too late to turn the tide. if it could be
turned.
Alderman ]. G. johnson of the high
way committee gave the meeting in
formation showing how money has
been spent for street improvement in
the section of the city south and east
of Bridge street as compared with the
section to the north and west of it.
James B. Tatem presided at the
