 Claims Work Unsatisfactory.
 One of the few civil cases ever heard in the town court of Killingly was tried out before Judge w. F. Wood ward Monday forenoon. It was one in which the plaintiff, Wilfred Briere. of Dayville. sought to recover the sum of $21.50 from M. Goldwater of this place for work done in repairing Mir. Goldwater's automobile delivery vehf- cle after it had been damaged in a collision with another machine near LabeIle's building in Dayville. MT Goldwater, represented by Attorney Charles L.

act covering Killingly, this town must accept the reduction.
 Heretofore Killingly voters have al- ways turned down the proposition that an act of the legislature is about to force. There have been various req sons for this. but the chief one ads vaneed was the claim that Killingiy, a town of numerous villages. would not have all communities of it represented on a board of three members
 It was learned Monday that the likelihood is that there will be six candidates for the three places on the board; that is, after the caucuses. The republicans, democrats and progress sives will each nominate the number of candidates allowed each party-two but how many candidates will strug- gle for the nominations in the party caucuses is. of course, only to be con- jectured at this time.
 The reduction of the number of members of the board to three will probably result in a small saving to the town for selectmen's services each year.
