Is the petition for a vote on the li- cense question in the town of Wind ham legal?

Seven hundred and twenty three men will go through Wi1limantic on a special train bound for Aver, Mass next Thursday afternoon and they will be fed in this city. according to their schedule Where these men will -ob- tain the s435 worth of food which the government is to buy for them is still a mystery as the local restaurants can care for no such number without some word beforehand.
 Then there is still wonder why the Willimantic men cannot go on that special train to Aver instead of going to Plainf1eld. first. The special train will leave here at 10 o'clock and should arrive in Aver at 1.55 while the Wiilimantic men must leave this city at 1910 and wait around Plainffeld until 2.40 to take a train for 'Worces- ter and will get in Aver at 4 o'clock. In addition, no meal tickets are to, be given out to the local men and the government will give ticket transpor- tation charges from the board head quarters,A which is WiIlimantic, but the tickets are from Rlainfield to Aver. Somebody has been trying to use all of the railroad lines, evidently, as the Willimantic men will go about 90 miles out of their way to get to Aver and it will take them two hours longer.

FOOD CONTROL BILL
 DEBATE MARKED BY BITTER EXCHANGES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Resump- tion of senate debate today on the con ference report of the administration food control bill was marked by bitter exchanges between those advocating and those opposing the ieglslatlon. After a days discussiono the bill as finally drafted by the conference, ad- ministration leaders and some of the chief opponents said it would be dis posed of Wednesday.
 Senator Chamberlain, the admins tration manager, and Senator Gore, who has been prominent in the oppo- sftion, clashed sharply during the de bate after Senator Reed had made an- other speech attacking the measure and Herbert C. Hoover When Sen ator Gore imputed that the senate con- ferees had yielded the senates judg- ment to that of the president. Senator Chamberlain, in vehement speech, de- clared that the Oklahoma senator had consistently obstructed the food bill and also other administration meas ureS
 "I had rather be charged with follow ing in the footsteps of the distin- guished president of the United States in the conduct of this war" said the Oregon senator, crawling, if you please. on my knees and licking the dust from his feet, as has been sug- gested here, than to stand in opposi- tion to him and to be cOnspiring with and treating with the enemies of the president"
 Senator Gore denied obstructing the bill or. as Senator Chamberlain had suggested. the army draft law.
 Senator Hollis announced he would vote against the conference report be- cause of elimination of his amendment designed to exempt labor unIons non the provisions of the bill

TO BUILD VERDE
 DAM AT ONCE |S
 COMMITTEE PLAN

Recommending that the first an6 l foremost plan for the relief of the con dition of the so-called 23,0O0 dry acre under the rec amation project be tn construction of the Verde dam and sug l gesting a method for financing thi: great engineering undertaking withou | direct appeal to reclamation funds the national government. the specia l committee on water development o, l the Council of the Water Users asso citation, yesterday presented a report such great importance that it will b. ] considered in detail during a session l September. The report was rendered by w. J. Murphy, Frank R. Stewart A. H. Kunce and A. G. Austin. It wa simply accepted by the council and 1t consideration continued.
 1 It is in section five of the repoI that the Verde Horseshoe dam is touch ed upon and the construction of this dam is recommended as the first step which should be undertaken in the de- velopment of water.
 
 ed to build this dam, which it to cost a million and a half of dollars, are as follows:
 The government wants water for 63O ten-acre allotments for Indians. Sug- gest to dry land owners that they pay an advance assessment of $20 an acre for water, making payments in five in- staIlments, semi-annually, of s4 each Amount produced thereby. $460000
 Apply the net earning from power tc the project, running between $600,00t and $S00,000.
 The report also contained the follow ing recommendations, that the Hurley Abbott suit be brought down to datt (Kent decree), directing that the nor mai flow of water rights be enforced so that land gets on y such water as can be beneficially used that the spill ways at the dam be raised four or five feet in increate the impounding ca pacity of the reservoir; that pump. be installed where the underground supply justifies it, particularly where the removal of the underground water will be of benefit; line canals where ground is porous and thereby save water.
 The board of governors of the asso citation met yesterday morning and ap T pointed election officials for the com ing general election on August 21. Tn council meeting fol owed A vacanc! i had been certified because E. J. Ben nett had transferred his land in tn sixth district but by the time actiol became necessary to fill the vacanc. he had again acquired holdings ther . which entitled him to serve and so h : was unanimously chosen to fill hi own place.
 The council also adopted the follow ing resolution:
 Resolved, that it is the sense of tn council that all lands signed in tn association that are now entit ed { water service under temporary O . emergency contracts be allowed t contract for water service for the en , suing water year at the same rate
 charged to other lands" 1. This resolution should not be take !. as a final action, for it is merely = recommendation which may or ma
 not be carried out.
