FESTIVAL HALL
AS GYMNASIUM
Selectmen Asked to Allow
it's Use by School Chill
dren of the Town
GRANTED
UNDER CONDITIONS
What These Are VIII be Stated in Let
ter to Committee of Alumni Investigat-
ing Gymnasium Project - Matter May
Be Brought Directly Before Voters.

Steps which it is believed will lead to
securing Festival hall for use as a gym
nasium by the boys and girls of Brattle-
boro this winter were taken last evening
when the committee named last spring by
the high school alumni to investigate the
question of a temporary gymnasium build
ing met the selectmen and made a def
mite request for the use of the town prop
erty.
What the committee asked is that the
school children be allowed the use of
Festival hall five afternoons week from
$50 to $50, beginning Jan. 1. 1921. and
continuing until the Easter recess about
March 10, and that the school authorities
be allowed the privilege of booking has
ketball games on Friday evenings during
that period with the understanding that
these bookings shall interfere as little as
possible with other attractions.
The selectmen took the matter under
consideration and decided to allow the
use of Festival hall under restrictions
which win be outlined I'm letter to be
sent to the committee today. What these
restrictions are remains to be seen. but il
is not believed they will be such as to in
terfere with the use of the hall for the
purpose outlined.
All of the members of the committee.
Martin Austin. II. r. Brown. H. c..
lRice. O. F. Benson and J. f.. Warren.
were present at the meeting last eve
ming and the circumstances surrounding
their request were fully explained to the
town officials. 1t was pointed out that
the matter of a temporary gymnasium had
been carefully investigated and that the
committee did not feel justified in under
taking the collection and expenditure of
approximately $1,000 for a temporary
structure. especially when there appeared
to be a likelihood that community house
would be erected In the near future FeS-
tivai hail. it was stated. was the only
place in town suitable for use as gym
nasirm and basketball floor. and under
the circumstances the COMMITTEES felt
justified in asking for its use the coming
winter. e-rr
Assurances were given the seleetmen
that the school authorities would assume
all responsibility for the conduct of the
pupils during the hours when the hail was
in use and would stand any expense nee
essary to make the hall suitable for bas-
ketball games. The committee contended.
however. that the use of the hall by the
school children of the town was dis
tinctly public one and for that reason
ought to take precedence over its use bv
any individual for purely commercial pur-
poses. 1t was further stated that If the
seleetmen did not feel like assuming re
sponsihility for allowing the use of the
hall for school purposes the committee
would be glad TO take the necessary stems
to bring the proposition directly before
the voters of Brattleboro.

STATE AND TOWN
MAY COOPERATE
A Community Building in
Connection with ArmOry
Feasible
ADJUTANT GENERAL
MEETS COMMITTEE
Combination Plan Believed to Be Best
Solution of PrOblem-WiII Be Present
ed to BrattleborO Public as Soon as
Plan Can Be Formulated

Prospects for a memorial community
building and armory combined were
greatly enhanced in a meeting of the
special investigating committee with
Adjt. Gen. Herbert 7. johnson in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms last eve
ming, and it is probable that the matter
will be brought before the townspeopIe
in general within short time for def
mite action.
After an explanation of Brattleboro's 5
objective had been given the adjutant
general took the question up, explain
ing the method of procedure in the case
of the' Rutland building which is a com
bInation of an armory and large hall
to accommodate 500 to 1900 people, and
which has not been available heretofore.
The town of Rutland and the armory
commission got together, each contribut-
ing, and a building was erected as me
mortal to the boys and girls who served
IN the war. 1t contains a large room ded-
icated especially to their memory and
containing marble slabs bearing their
names.
At Newport another situation was met
The town wanted some fine office rooms
for town and city offices and the state
worked out together.
In Brattleboro the objective is COM
munity center, a building with commu-
nifty features, and an armory for the
boys of Company l, Vermont National
Guard. After the question was gone over
thoroughly Adit. Gen. johnson seemed
entirely agreeable and amenabe to the
plan for an armory with armory fea-
lures, and a community building with
boys and girls rooms, gymnasium, etc.
1t was suggested that the town raise a
certain amount and that the state give a
certain amount; the state would have its
part in the management and the town
its part This would practically cut the
cost Of building in halt, The state would
saaintain the armopy with heat, light and
ianitor service, the expense to the town
being the proportionate additional ex-
pense which would be incurred by the
use of the extra rooms and facilities.
The building management probably
would be vested in the armory custodian
appointed by the aTmory commission and
probably a local board of governors.
The gymnasium doubtless would be sep
arate so that it could be used at all
times
When the matter had been gone over
thoroughly the committee felt that the
proposition was the best presented for
the solution of the problem here, and

IN BOTH INSTANCES
States Attorney Gibson Secures Evidence
Which May Prove Valuable-Investi-

Mystery still surrounds the attempted
robbery of Mrs. Fred Wheeler in her
home in Stratton Wednesday morning,
Oct. 6, when an effort was made by two
men to secure $500 which was supposed
to be about Mrs Wheeler's clothing, but
an investigation yesterday by States At
torney +. W. Gibson. who was accom-
panied by Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman and
a member of The Reformer staff, brought
to light some evidence which may prove
valuable.
Mrs Wheelers story showed that a
dramatic scene was enacted in her home,
and it also brought out the fact that this
was the second time she was assaulted
with robbery as the apparent motive, 1t
being her custom to carry in her bosom
the money sent from Wilmington by the
Shaw Fern Co to pay fern pickers en-
ployed by Mr.. Wheeler as agent for the
company.
A year ago while Mrs. Wheeler was
bending over a -four barrel in her pantry

her in the back Of the neck with his fist

LONDON. Oct. 16.-Final prepara-
tion for the expected strike of 100000
British coal mines tonight were being
made today throughout the United King
dom. Emergency measures recommended
by the government were being perfected
by local authorities and there seemed to
be a disposition on the part of the gov
ernment, the miners federation and the
people generally to carry on long bat
tie to settle definitely the issue upon
which the miners have decided to walk
out While there was an air of quiet
confidence on the part of the people there
were apprehensions that the strike might
bring about a critical situation in Brit
ish industry generally.
Large stocks of coal have been accu-
muated and private customers have laid
in supplies but the public has been in
formed that rigid economy will be nee
essary. Many large industrial concerns
have considered at least partial shut
down and this movement may develop
into one of the most serious phases of
the strike.
local authorities to take steps to econo-
nize in the use of coal and lighting have
been issued by the secretary of mines.
These orders will limit the consumption
of domestic coal 100-weight weekly per
household. The food ministry has been
given permission to resume partial ration
ing if it becomes necessary.
As the strike has been brewing for so
long the authorities have accumulated
