Pacific Building & Loan ASSOC
citation of Tacoma, has earn
his fee.
Backed by Mark e. Reed, his
right hand man, and the organiza-
ton they have built up around
them, he has used his position as
speaker of the house and chair
man of the rules committee to
throttle legislation regulating bus
mess methods of his company for
the protection of the public. !.
Kelly faced serious charges
that were brought against him in
the senate, to the effect that as
chairman of the rules committee
he had forced a bargain on senate
bill "a affecting the building and
loan association of which he is di-
rector and attorney.
He was given a chance to prove
that he was in the speakers chair,
not as director of a private cor
poration, but as a director of the
people of the state, including the
people who were depositors in his
company.
Kelly earned his fee yesterday
by turning down the state. Using
high-handed, steam-rolling tactics
he brought about the indefinite
postponement of senate bill "a,
killing it without giving a chance
for even fair hearing.
Orville Billings, president
of the concern, undoubtedly
is satisfied today that Kelly
has earned his salt. Billings
has made good his reported
boast that he was running
the legislature"
Senator L. Ben Johnson, who
made the direct charges against
the speaker in the senate, had this
to say when he learned of the in
definite postponement of the bill:
The action of the house ap-
pears to justify the charges made
in the capitol and in the press, and
which / mentioned in my argu-
ment on the floor of the senate.

''This is an especially i'm

the defendants are charged

which is a great deal more
dangerous charge, from our
standpoint, than simply the

"If a man can be found guilty
of murder because he was speak

GRAND LIST $4,25e, ,645
Assessors Figures Show Increase of
 $146,361 Over Last Year.

Figures compiled by the assessors of the town of Killingly-Charles B. Hutchins, William P. Kelly, Arnold P. Rich-show a grand list, just complet- ed, for 1916, of $4,256,6 ,645, an increase of $146,S61, over the figures of the preceding year. The figures given here for both 1915 and for 1916 are as they are filed by the assessors, and before going to the board of relief. As revised by the members of the board of relief, Killingly, taxpayers paid during 1916 on 0 list that totaled S4,062, AIS.
 In discussing the new list, MT. Hutchins pointed out details that show that the figures on the list just completed in reality show an increase of Approximately $16O,0oo over last years list.
 The increase in the grand list means of course, that Killingly's in come from taxes will be greater in 1917 than it was in 1916, for the tax rate remains the same-14 mills.
 The trend of Killingly's grand list will continue to be upward for the next few years, it 5s predicted, in view of the rapid industrial expansion now underway in town, and there are those who are inclined to believe that it will touch the $5,000,000 mark in the next grand list completed. This is indicated by building operations now underway or announced to be undertaken during the spring and sunme rseason of 1917.
 The members of the board of re- lief are to begin their session with the coming of February.

SCHOOL BOARD HELD
 REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
Singing Instructor CasweII Favored
 Purchasing a Victrola-Matter of
 Bonding Transportation Teams Dis cussed

The town school board held it's reg ular monthly meeting in the office of the selectmen in the town building
 Wednesday evening, all but one mem her of the board being present. George p. Elliott was appointed to act as chairman of the meeting in the ab sence of Chairman Dr. F. B. Guild twho afterward appeared and presided lat the meeting.
 AC. H. Caswell, singing instructor of the High school, was present at the injecting and spoke in regard to the purchase of Victrola to be used in connection with a new course to be known as the musical appreciation course. He stated that this course
 was given in the high schools of the
 larger cities and he felt as though it was needed in the local school. A number of the students have express
 ed a desire to take up such a course and some of the graduates have stated that 1t would have helped them if it had been taught them. MT. Caswen thought that at least 75 pupils would be purchased for $50 while the rec ords could be bought for 75 cents or dollar. It would be necessary to have at least three or four good records SC that comparison could be made. The course should be elective as those that took it would put more time into it and be more interested. The matter was turned over to the library com mittee.
 Dr. Guild then took the chair and the minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted.
 The secretary stated that the town of Chaplin had refused to pay for the tuition of the Chappel children at the North Windham school as they ought to attend the school in the town. MT. Chapel thought that his children should be allowed to go to the Wind ham school as it was nearer his home than the Chaplin school. The matter was referred to the transportation committee with power

Consequently this was given to tye committee on building and repairs for all time.
 The matter of bonding the teams that transport the children to and from the town schools was again dis cussed. It was thought advisable to have some backing in case of accident which the pupils would be liable to injury. It was voted that the secre- tary get the opinion of the town coun- seI on the matter. The bills were then read and voted paid.
 It was learned at the meeting that one of the two mandolins which the town purchased some time ago had last summer. It is understood that the mR tier had not come up before tho board on any previous occasion.
