 Answers Critics.
 First Selectman Willard I. filling ! officially made it known this morning that he is a candidate for reelection. Incidentally MT. filling took a fling at l his critics and announced his plat form. As to the assertions made by the supporters of Newton w. Bald win, who is to oppose MT. filling at the caucus on Friday, that he failed to keep the roads in good condition and thereby saved the town consider able money, but which will eventually put the town to a greater expense, MT. filling said that this was nothing but small talk. He stated that he has kept the roads in as good condition as could be expected and that he had used only the money that was allot- ted to him by the finance board. He further explained why he should be elected for another year. During his administration he said. he paid up $3,OOO on old debts and at the same time met all the running expenses of ! the town without leaving any unpaid bills. He further said that he will bring the fiscal year to a close with l $4,5O0 in the treasury.
 MT. Baldwin's supporters, on the other hand claim that it is a simple
 matter to come through the year with 1 a big balance if very few enditures | are made and a large tax is levied | upon property. l. c. RoWley, who was third select man of this town for number o1
