REMINGTON PEOPLE
 TALK ANNEXATION
Will Hold Town Meeting This Eve ning-Improbabl That Any Ar
 engagements Can Be Made.

Residents of the town of Newing- ton will hold mass meeting in the town hall this evening to thoroughly discuss the suggested plan of Coun- cilman Gorbach whereby New Britain would extend it's eastern boundaries to the New Haven road tracks, taking over something more than 300 acres of Newington property. Whatever action the >townspeople take this eve- ming. it is extremely improbable that the local councilmans plans will be carried out, it was stated by promi- nent men in the city's administrative circles today.
 At meeting last week with local officials, . Newington representatives expressed the informal opinion that the town would not consent to give this desired land over to New Bri- tain at price less than $25,000 and the suggested figures ranged between that and $5O,OOO. The opinion in this city seems to be that it would be impractical for the city to take over this land and compel the taxpayers to pay for it by increased taxes.
 Tonight's meeting is to get the official opinion of the Newington peo- pie. Friday was the last day for get ting new business before the general assembly: so, unless some remarkably attractive plan was offered by the Newington people, it is extremely inn. proba ble that the present legislature would care to consider any new plan. Under the rules of the legislature the only possible way in which new busi- ness could be brought before that body would be for one branch of the assembly to pass a unanimous vote consenting to suspend the rules and take in the new business.

MAY BUILD NEW SCHOOL
Rev. F. V. Gril<is Explains to His Congregation the Essential Need of a ParOcIliaI School.

Rev. Edward V. Grillis, pastor of livered to the members of the con- gregation at the masses yesterday, a plea for the erection of a parochial school, pointing out the essential needs of such@ an institution because of the increase of children in the parish The priest however, told his congregation that before such a move would be practicable, some of the church debt would have to be paid. Prior to the arrival of Father Grikis in this, city, the Lithuanian children attended school in the old building in the rear of the church edifice, but conditions were not considered satis- factory by the new pastor and he dis continued it, sending the children to the other parochial schools as far as possible, while a number are pupils in the public schools.
 Hindered by the lack of an assist ant. the pastor has been forced to have the children attend masses with the elder folk in the past, but through new arrangements a priest from the La Salette college in Parkville will come to this city every Sunday com mencing next week, and will assist the pastor. Under the new schedule the children will attend the S:3O o'clock mass. The other masses will be at 7:30 and 10:30 o'clock. Father Grikis spoke to the parents about sending their children to this mass Through the contribution of a handsome statue of St. Anne, the gift of the Stankevious family of Stanley street, which is expected to arrive in i about a month, the Identification of 1 the church inteHior will be greatly en- hanCed.
