ST. PATRIcK's SERVICES SHORTENED SUNDAY

At the suggestion of the health of ficer the services in St. Patrick's church Sunday were made as brief as possible, formal sermons being omit ted. Vespers and benediction of the blessed sacrament in the afternoon was also given up. It was announced that no sessions of the parish school will be held during this week and that the morning catechism class would be suspended the coming Sat
 urday A meeting of the Holy Name society of the church is deferred also.
 Instead of the customary high mass at 10.30, low mass was read by Rev Peter J. Cuny. who explained the req son for the curtailment of the ser
 vices, reminding the congregation that, after all, in the Catholic church, the holy sacrifice of the mass is the really important part of the service.
 The exceptionally long list of per
 sons prayed for began with the names of Cardinal Farley and Archbishop Ireland. Father Cuny referred briefly to the seriousness of the epidemic which has suddenly afflicted the town and the possibility that some listening to him then, and there might not be in attendance at mass in a week to come
 Sounding the warning of the church which teaches men how to die as well as how to live, ne pointedly asked each listener to consider with himself whether he was in a condition of readiness if the final summons should suddenly come, and if not, why not!

SOME OF THE NEWEST DRESSES
 HAVE BUTTONS AT THE BACK

In the fashion parade yesterday, nu- merous examples of the modish satin dresses, which are the thing this fall, were conspicuous. Many had the smart fiaring panel. In the display of new apparel in the stores these panel ed dresses are featured One of black satin with beaded panel of georgette back and front. has a wide, crush belt As shown the front panel is belted and the back panel can be so worn if desired.
 Very fascinating was navy satin dress, with accordion plaited skirt. This had a trihe longer skirt than has been worn during the past season and it's long. sleeves had the bell cuff Sash ends gave a natty finish to the skirt and the round neck was piped with old rose satin.
 The rage for Jersey dresses does not abate. A smart example of this new est of styles was of a rich burgundy new notion is the row of large buttons stimulating a blouse buttoned at the back.
 French serge was developed in a charming dress with overskirt gath cred over plain self skirt F'ringed ends finished the sash. The neck was piped with coral satin with a row of coral beads just below. A taupe satin dress had the front handsomely embroidered, the same adornment beautifying the long sleeves. The collar was of white satin.
 Another good example of the liked style was in Russian blouse effect the material black satin. Pipings ot | blue were effective. AS in most ot 1 the models, the skirt was scant ant 1 the slseves on the bell order. Another heavy black satin dress ha! embroidery of steel beads and trim | ming of self-covered buttons. A sur

house for the coming winter Is In the bins and paid for
 During the past year several special town meetings have been called on petition of the voters and at these meetings apTrc pfiations were made for various purposes. While the various. objects are doubtless possessed of
 merit Tn each Instance, they were not provided for at the annual town meet ing and the expenses authorized by them have resulted in a decrease in end of the year.
 All bills Of the town are paid up to the 18th of ths present. month.
 For the coming year your board
 would recommend tax of nine mills on the dollar. This is large increase over the tax rate of recent years, but by a study of the estimate of receipts and expenses we believe that it will be seen to be una avoidabie. Such items of the town expense as are in any way in the control of your beard will show an increase for the coming year of less than one quarter of one mill. which, in view of the greatly increased cost Of practically all necessary, they believe will be cheerfully granted by the residents of the town. The bal ance of the increase is brought about by two causes-first, the state and county taxes and the expense of the Lisbon bridge, ali matters over which the town has no control; and, second, the decrease in receipts. The town has usually received about S3s, 600 from liquor license fees. Owing, how ever, to the action of the federal gov
 ernment in aboiishing the sale of all intoXicante after July 1st, 1919, for the period of the war, and to the fact that, according to our best informa- fior1, many licenses will not be renew ! ed: it will not be safe to estimate the receipts from this source for the com | ing year at more than s1o,ooo. In addition. there has been a consider 1 able decrease in the dog license re ceiPts, and a decrease, estimated at l s 600, in the receipts from the per
 sonal tax, as practically every man
 who has been or will hereafter be called into the service of his country
 has previously paid this tax and is now exempt from payment of the l same | Thus we have expenditures placed l upon us from without of some $74.0ot and a decrease in receipts, equally 1 additional cost to the town of about six mills, considerably more than the
 total increase in the tax rate.
 l The estimates of the town schoo committee. if approved by the town meeting, will call for a further appro- l priation of eight mills for school pur- poses for the coming year. This in crease is understood by your board tc be due to a variety of causes bu' chiefly to the increase in the salarie: l of the teachers which was voted at the recently held special town meeting.
 The combined estimates of the SC.
 lectmen and of the school committe' will therefore call for a total tax O IT mills on the dollar, ill addition tt whatever further appropriations ma,
 be made at the meeting in accordance with the several special petition; which have been fled and which vii
 be presented at that time for the ac tion of the voters.

SELEcTMEN EXPLAIN TOWN FINANCES

In the statement they will present to Ale voters of the town of Norwich at I ne coming annual meeting. the select men will recommend a town tax of nine mills to meet the estimated total expenses of S202, ,40S.SS To this must be added the eight mills recommended for a school tax, making 8 town tax of II mills.
 All the usual expenditures for the town, they explain, have been kept at 8 normal figure and would call for 10 large tax under ordinary circuT1a = stances, but there has been expendi- ture of about s74000 placed on the town, over which the seiectmen have no control and there is a decrease in the estimated receipts of about s34,- 900. which is also a matter which is without the control of the seleetmen
 Their letter to the citizens explains the situation as follows:
 During the past year a large amount of work has been necessary upon the highways of the town. due to the damage caused by several severe storms in addition to the ordinary wear and tear. This work has been rendered the more difficult by the shortage in both materials and labor which has added both to the trouble anu CApSdlSC Ot lnS WOih,- UQL dt llS present time the. highways are be- lfeved to be in satisfactory condition. To accomplish this, however, it was necessary to pay an increased amount tor the wages of both men and teams. The nacadam on Providence street in Faftville has been resurfaced and cev- cred with coating of taryia which places this road in better shape than it has been for some time
 The bridges of the town have been looked after and kept in repair as needed from time to time. It was found necessary, however, to close the Sturtevant avenue bridge to traffic, excepting to foot passengers, as it's condition had become dangerous, and
 owinH to the freight embargo and other causes it has been impossible as yet to obtain the needed material for it's repair. In this connection it might be mentioned that the work on the Lisbon bridge which is under the charge Of the state highway depart lnent, is progressing satisfactorily While this work is being done by the state and is a matter over which your 1 board has no control, considerable proportion of the expense has to be borne by this town. which will add somewhat more than one mill to this years tax.
 The expense of the outside poor de partnent has been kept at minimum and slightly decreased over last year in spite of the increased cost of al supplies. The almshouse has been ef 1 6ciently cared for by it's superinten- dents. MT. and Mrs. Chapman, and the l inmates well looked after, while theil 1 services about the farm and in cutting wood for distribution to the outside
 poor ares much appreciated by the SC. lectmen. The board of selectmen rec ! ommend that they be authorized tc purchase the tract of about 40 acres
 adjoining the almshouse property, ant
 which has been used in connection with it for several years. if this can bt done at a reasonable figure, as the lant
