| lingly's revenue from the state to- ward the support Of this towns 1 schools, and as having a bearing on i the matter of, the Goodyear school 1 house appropriation, was given out Monday by one of killingly's officials. 1 The town Of .Iiilingly received from l the state treasury for the support of i schools in 1919 the sum of s4.ls6.l5. An effort to prevent an appropria- ton for a school building at Good 1 year and thereby hinder the develop men of the Goodyear Mills company's 1 plans for a village of 5000 people and
 all the attendant prosperity that such a growth would mean to all of Kill l ingly was being made here Monday i'll an insidiouS way, and to boost along i the opposition stories without a grain 1 of truth or foundation in fact were 1 being circulated to confuse the tax payers. The deliberate lie that Killingly | would be called upon to stand for an l increase in the tax rate to 36 mills was being told to score of Killingly's 1 citizens in an effort to induce them to vote themselves out of such chance for real rosperity as few l Connecticut towns the size of Killing
 themselves in generation.
 Now, the fact is that if the voters of Killingly decide to vote for an appropriation at this afternoons
 special town meeting, for the purpose
 of erecting school building at
 Goodyear, the money so appropri- I ated will not have to be raised dur ing the coming year; Any connecti- cut town is charged only with the I obligation of taxing to meet it's cur rent expenses. An appropriation for
 a school building can be provided for by bond issue, and the liquidation of such an issue can be spread over 10, 20 or 30 years, as the taxpayer s elect, this on the word of one of Aillingly's best known attorneys The sopposIllon to the appropria- ton is chiefly inspired by malicious ness on the part of the most active of those who are engaged in spreading false propa ganda, though it is not to be denied that very few persons 1 are honestly opposing the appropria tion for reasons that are perfectly N sincere and tenable.
 q Danielson's business men, as they were interviewed Monday, were n practically a unit in their desire tc support the appropriation that ths II development of the Goodyear Mills fl l company will not be hampered or N abandoned, as may be the result o1 < preventing the appropriation. And il it is abandoned. ever taxpayer practically every citizen-in Killingly u will suffer losses, directly or indirectly 4 that will mount to heartsickeninf N heights as the years go by.
 The Goodyear company stands N ready to spend more than $30 900 a. II it's snare of the building program N This in itself is an evidence of th 11 company's fair dealing with the towl to which it's growth means so muc'' II As indicative of the meannOl U and smallness to which the projev N for Killingly'S development is beinl .1S attacked it may be cited that tn N story is being told. with every evi M deace of honesty, that ''the Good N year company is trying to get tn C taxpayers to build them movin ,s11 picture hall as a part of the schoo I house program"
 No one knows better than rhos who are spreading that story that P is false as the tales of Judas.
 Killingly votes an appropriation fo
 such school building as is desire
 and proposed for Goodyear-a build
 ling with an auditorium, even thoug
 the Goodyear company pays S30,000, ( S. half as much toward it's construction
 the control of the building, for a ne time to come, will be exclusively the hands of the officials Of th st town and the Goodyear compan. IT. nor any other corporation or perso a- will have anything to say about i IS use or control or maintenance, only g
 their opinions may be voiced 1g meetings of the town, where eac
 and every one has an equal chance ed yote The Goodyear conpany's oI se fer to the town is made without an
 strings attached. All that is want he ed, is adequate school accommoda xt tions for an ever increasing number k pupils.
 As showing the ridiculous lengtf ill 10 which malicious opposition to Ki d. lingly's development is being carrie to cases were cited Monday of officials
 the Goodyear company, and ernploy'
 of the concern, bein called by telt
 phone and asked to oppose the scho sE house appropriation and the develop
 ment of Goodyear, this performant yd being much the same as asking or man to spoil his prospects of futul nl happiness and prosperity and hand es cap his children insofar as educs
 tional facilities are concerned. if The case is mentioned merely as g ,s+ indication of the lack of perceptic a .9 upon the part of the dfcredite fc leadership of the opposition.
 ar No one here in Danielson que! ie of tions the right of any man to oppos q ba atin for Goodyear according to Il dictates of his judgment and cor
 science There is Bound to be g = honest difference of opinion on a
 such public matters.
 .. The protest from Danielson's bus Illness men on Monday was because or who depends chiefly upon them f. l support is working without regard
 facts or truth for a program that n only will injure them, but ever Fl property owner and wage earner
 Killingly.
 If Goodyear grows, all of Killing benefits. If Goodyear is turned dow
 by the voters, the great company d. veloping there can easily abandon i development plans and select a tow where it's Legitimate needs will approved by the voters. Killingly voters have their chance this afte noon to say whether they will kill
