Darbie said on Thursday: For weeks after the strike began both the Shore Line Electric Railway company and their striking employees maintained a .spublic-be- damned attitude. and fow.s so far: as-I am concerned, they may settle their own diff1culties
 Attorney Darbie is president of the Danielson Business N Men's association. which have suffered serious trade losses on account of the strike. es- pecially during the period immediate lys following the tieup Of the lines. nor well organized bus line service. During tha. period the public was left to shift for itself.
 The local public failed to show any appreciabre degree of interest. consid- cring the attendance that was attract hall nor did they gain from it. accord ing to various opinions expressed or Thursday, any-thin g new in the way of knowledge about situation that the local public abhors.
 Raggipg "the scribes." as was done in Norwich and Westerly and other stownssswnere meetings like the one here have. been held, was one of the chief pastimes of the meeting. and as wholly valuable as a procedure a. the service that wasn't given the public during the first five weeks of the strike.

 1t will be very pleasant for Killing lys taxpayers to read this morning that figures just.- compiled. dealing with the. towns financial condition. show that the debt of Killingly has been reduced $S.sss.3s during the fis- the towns debt, as of that date. will be shown in the annual town reports as S2o6. .902.71. This reduction follows upon another one sofg$4.5o2.5S made for the dscai year ending July si 1918, and the two reductions bring the debt down from the high water mark of s21S.291.ss, which was reached in 1917. ~
 Achievement of these reductions had not been made without economical some departnents of the towns :f- fairs, but it is, in line with what the majority of the taxpayers want. Kil- linglys roads may not be in as good condition as some would like 10 see them; there are improvements that are badly needed and that many would like to see made in various parts of the town. But it cannot be truthfuliy stated that the taxpayers as a whole will not beAyery well pleased with a report that shows that the towns hig deht is being reduced.
