 MT. Yales death, which occurred after an illness of but a few days, marks the passing of an old and high ly respected citizen of the town. He had been a resident of Plainville for a great many years and he was held in high esteem by his fellow towns men. He was a native of Hamden and was born seventy-one years ago. His father, James D. Yale, was phy- sician. He was one of the forty miners" and died on the way home from California where he went on the famous trip.
 For many years MT. Yale worked in Sessions Clock shop in Forestville He was a foreman in one of tic depart ments for a long time. He worked until Saturday of last week although he had not been feeling well for some time previous. After his illness de- veloped he failed rapidly and his death had been anticipated by the at tending physicians. Many of his friends however, were not aware of his illness, and his death was a big surprise and shock to them. Mr. Yale leaves a widow and one daughter Miss Ethel Yale. Didn't Get Square Deal. Declaring that while he has no in tention of protesting and will abide by the decision of the town meeting, Officer Philip Marine who was busted from his position town patrolman, said today that he did not believe he received square deal'' at the session. He argued that at least fifty of the men who voted in favor of Prior's res olution, limiting the selectmen to .$200 in paying for the policing of streets. were not voters of the town. Some of them were not even naturalized citi- zens.
 The officer attributes his defeat in part of the Italians of the town who be believes were jealous because he was apparently getting along success fully. He claied to know a number of them who were allowed to vote against him who have never been nat uralized. Others are not voters and should not have been permitted to have a voice in the meeting The constable admits that the reso- lution would have been passed with out the woes of those not eligible to participate in the meeting anyway as the maority for a reduced appropria- tion was over one hundred. Marine claimed the absence of a regular policeman from nte center has already been felt. He caled at tention to disturbances that have tan. en pace near Centra Square in the past two days and he predicted that the selectmen will find it necessary to make some provision for policing the district.
 The ex-patrolman insists that he has no apologies to make for the man. ner in which he performed his duties. He says he realizes that had he per mitted local talent to create disturb ances, arresting only strangers, he might have fared better at the hands of the voters. He would prefer, how ever to do his work honestly and martyrdom is what he gets as thanks.
 Marine proposes to take short rest. He has had offers of work and he told a Herald man that the future Is not bothering him.
 School Visitors Report.
 AS a result of inquiries regarding the failure of the annual statement of the acting school visitor to appear in the town report, 1t was learned last night that First Selectman w. J. Johnson, believing that the report was a statement for the school board only, had failed to forward it with other "copy" to the printer to be incor- porated in the books giving an ac- count of the stewardship of the vari- ous officials.
 There was considerable surprise ex- pressed when voters discovered that there was nothing from the school visitor in the report. The matter was called to the attention of Rev. H. T. Walsh, who has served in that capacity for twenty eight years, and he advised that he had mailed the statement to the selectmen several days before the "copy" was sent to the printer
 He was in communication with Se- lectman Johnson last night over the matter. MT. Johnson admitted that he had received the report but as the statement was addressed to the school hoard, he thought a mistake had been made and that it was not intended for publication. The envelope was ad- | dressed to the selectmen, and there was notation to the effect that 1t was the acting school visitors report The report is always presented to
