Stratford, Feb. 1.-The voters of the town were present in large num- bers at the special town meeting at the town hall last evening. The meet ing was called to consider a bill re- gently introduced by Representative Ivan Warehouse in the General As sembly which, if passed, would legis- late the present Board of Assessors out of office on April 1, 1919. The bill appeared to be without friends, Rep resentative Morehouse being the only one who spoke in its favor Whoever the men were behind the measure evi- dently did not consider it an oppol- tune time to reveal their identity. The bill was disapproved by vote of 152 to 2. It was also voted that no amendments to the charter should be introduced at Hartford in the future without the endorsement of the citi- zens expressed in a duly called town meeting. While this method is not
 what is known as a referendum, it is l step in that direction.

The system was defined by him as

WOULD KEEP
27,467 MARINES
Major Barnett Recommends
the Permanent Strength
Double Pre-War Force

Washington, Nov. PA perma.
nent enlisted strength of 27.467 mer
for the Marine Corps, approximately
double the pre-war force, is recon-.
mended by Major General Barnett
commandant, in his annual report.
Early action of Congress is urged
as delay would mean loss of rank for
temporary officers who will be re-
tanned.
Attributing much of the success
of the Marine Corps in the war to
the system of drawing it's commits
stoned personnel from the ranks, the
commandant said the highest eff
cheney" would be served by adher-
ence to this policy which attracts
the highest class of recruits.
General Barnett recomme ended
that the present two, three and four
year enlistment terms be made per-
manent as being more attractive
than the rigid pre-war term of four
years, and asked increased pay for
both enlisted men and officers.
Great difficulty is being expert
enced in replacing the temporary
enlisted personnel of the aviation
section of the corps, now completely
dem obilized. General Barnett rec
commended special grades be pro-
vided in order to place the three
aviation services on a parity and
asked for so additional officers for
aviation.
Telling of the Marines war serv-
ice, the report says four members
of the corps received the medal of
honor, four the distinguished serv-
ice medal and $40 the distinguished
service cross, 1887 were awarded
the French Croix de Guerre and Is
the French Legion of Honor. Total
Marine Corps casualties in France.
the report showed, were 11,96S,
with 1914 killed.
