New Britain herald., 1915-04-13

ing week ago last night, and that # would have been a waste of words to draft anything more explicit. Whether MT. Days statement rep resented the sentiment of all those ! who attended the now famous meet ing held in the Peck Memorial li i brary building Monday evening, March 20, is not known, but 1t appar- eEtly does not coincide with tthe sen timent of many others, among whom are officials of the Southern New England Telephone company, the president of the towr-1> school com- mittee and the town clerk
 As q matter of fact, the resolution i:l question has got them all guess ing and the: New Britain division of the teleP4l"rr company is awaiting in structons from headquarters before proceedihg.. The otlicials' in New Britain were fa\ ortd by the local town clerk with a copy of the resolution and instructed to act accordingly. While they are inclined to believe as MT Day does, they are by no means as sure of themselves as the gentle man from kensington appears to be- Mir. Molumphy, president of the school committee, said today. It is
 
 not made more explicit" He was of the opinion, however, that the school phones were not involved, The town clerk said: Tt appeared to me that the school telephones will have to be taken out" The question hinges on whether or not Supervisor Dows can be called a town official. This is what the tel ephone company is trying to ascer- tain.
 :. Taking all things into consdera- ton, it would seem that what Mr. Day says about the school telephones be- ing out of the question may be cor rect and that. eventually, when those concerned can make a correct inter pretation of the resolution. none of t he instruments will be removed from the schools, but the fact remains that { he motion was not as clear as if might have been.
 Speaking about the matter of whether or not the resolution was drawn up inadvertently, as the Herald of last Friday ventured, the sentiment seems 1 to be that if the committee of five took everything into consideration be fore presenting. a motion for econo- mixing on a telephone, it would, at least, find out what that telephone was costing the town at the present time before specifically naming an other figure which the members evi- dently thought to be lower, and, as a matter of fact. was higher.
 It may be as MT. Day says that the matter can, undoubtedly. be adjusted satisfactorily at the next town meet ing. But that is not all. It was said this morning that some of the voters considered the entire resolution so inexpltcit that they would ask to have it amended at the meeting.
