Pursuant to the request OF many OF
the school directors in the state, the
school department OF the state has pre-
pared statistics showing data connected
with the wages paid the teachers in the
several towns of the state, and copies
of these are being mailed to each OF
the school boards as well as to Others
who need that information Fifteen
thousand of these sheets were run
through a multigraph in order to give
the information, desired. The papers
are compiled by counties, giving the
grand list, total school tax and the
! salaries paid the teachers in each town.
These we're wanted for Use before the
town meetings so that the Office force
had to hurry the matter considerably
to get them completed.

of the American Legion was held Fri

Mr.. Burch, who paid 500 for the bridge
work, so that his loss was considerable.
Harry Hughes, janitor of the armory,
found the bridge work on the floor
when he was cleaning up the dressing
room II was apparent that the person
who rifled the pockets of the Windsor
| boys knew enough not to retain the
bridge work, as it would be bad evil
| dence against him. None of the change
stolen has been recovered, Recently,
small bits of money were stolen from
