increase in the expense of maintain
ing the schools but this cannot be
avoided anyway unless the kinder
garten is given up.
The amount of expense which the
carrying out of the school boards plan
would involve is not very large and II
lis probable that the voters will en-
dorse the recommendation made at
the coming meeting.

Selectrhen Won't Pay.
That Barkhamstead will not pay the
nills for the funeral of Charles Dun
ham, who was murdered in that town
q few weeks ago, If its officials can And
any way of getting some other town
to settle the account, has been made
apparent to the selectmen here with
in the past two days.
Although Durham had not lived in
Plainville for twenty years, Barkham-
stead wants this town to claim him
as one of its paupers. In looking up
the matter, Selectmsn Johnson found
that the Barkhamstead officials were
giving this town no special distinction
m connection with their efforts to
cvade paying for Dunnams funeral
Southington and other places where
where the dead man ut some time re-
sided all received letters similar to
that sent to Plainville, the authors US
ing identical language In all cases. I'VE
expect your town to pay the legal ex-
penses."
The local selectmen have placed the
letter on file and according to them
IL Barkhamstead wants pay from
Plainville it will have TO come and
get 1t.

Jitney Operators Quitting.
The jitney business between Plain

daily at the present time. when the
Jitneys were at the heighth OF their
popularity in Plainville there was a
sizeable fleet of machins of various
description competing with the troll
ley company. The autos got q large
part of the business and for a time IL
appeared that the Golfers of the troll
ley company would soon be sadly de-
pieted.
Operators of the cars, however.
now admit that the jitney is hardly a
paying proposition as the machines
depreciate so quickly from the rough
usage they receive that nearly all the
profits go for repairs. The gasoline
gigs are not very popular now, for
some reason, and the trolley cars
seem to have won back the patronage
temporarily lost by the advent of the
auto as common carrier
