 A hearing was held in the council 1 chamber at the town hall Monday eve- ming. on the proposed grade on the ex- tension of South Park street from John street to Lebanon avenue. A majority 1 Of the abutting property owners were present and claimed no damages on the proposed grade, and admitted benefits. The Willimantie Industrial Company, represented by George Taylor, was un- decided about damages or benefits MT. Taylor said that his company was con- templating an addition to the plant now
 occupied by the Rosie Velvet Co.,, and the proposed grade would necessitate
 much more work On account of lodges
 where they plan to excavate.
 Another factor in the situation is the
 present grade on Lebanon avenue
 where the proposed street is to end. At
 present, the grade on this part of Leb- anon avenue is incorrect and should
 be corrected by the street committee.
 This will be taken up by the board of
 aldermen

 aldermen by the street committee at
 the next meeting, Sept Il.
 The part of the city affected by this
 grade is being rapidly built up. At
 present there are five houses on the
 proposed street and three more will be
 built as soon as the grade is estab- !, lished.
 That the people of Windham Center know what they want for a school ant ! are determined to get it, was demon strated at a special town meeting held at the town hall in Willimantic Mon. udy evening" WQen an aOQlIlOHdl ap'
 propriation of s10,000 for the school
 was voted down by them.
 The first item on the call for the
 meeting was whether the town of Wind } ham should be divided into voting dis
 tricts. With the granting of equal suf . frage, 1000 voters were added to tn, .. . towns list, and the accommodations or Church street were strained to the linn 1 1t at the last town election. Another ad vocate of the idea showed that tn : Church street voting place was not fl for women to enter. The item wa adopted and the voting districts will b. : as follows: first district, first ward 0 < Willimantic second district, secont 2 ward of Willinantic; third district : third ward of Willimantic and the res = of the town of Windham east of tn - Natchaug and Shetucket rivers; fourtl
 district, the fourth ward of Willimanti 1 and the rest of the town of Windhan . west of the shetucke river.
 The next item called for the appro z priation of ah additional 10000 to b ' included with s35,000 already appropri 4 1 ated for a school in Windham Center This was lost without any oratory, eth
 CT in favor or against it.
 The vote was controlled by the wo n men of Windhan Center. After tn |, meeting the reason for their vote wa 7 given The present plans for the schoo building are not liked, as the schoo e will be bare square block of brick, tw, stories high. The people of Windhan
 have investigated a school now beinl , built in Manchester at a cost of S3s, ,O0
 which is about what they want, ant
 by stopping the additional appropriation
 they hope to kill the idea of the presen
 school. One of them said that the,
 would rather have no school at all thai
 the one it Is planned to build The,
 were very much against the chairman o
 the building committee George Taylo
 and different ideas as to school build
 ings and building committees wer A GENTLE WAY
