There seems to be doubt expressed in some quarters as to whether money will be available to carry out the pro- posed new school program before the preseN sewer contracts are carried out. The fact that the various classes are making out so well in temporary quarters scattered around in and near lne center, in lodge halls. church annexes, and town buildings, is being used as an argument that it would perraps be better to continue in this manner for another year, with the exception of repairing the re- mains of the old high school building, until the present sewer program is completed and in operation.
 It is pointed out that when this time arrives the sewerage system will be a source of revenue for the town, that may itself furnish fund for other works without loading such a heavy bond load upon the state. It is also thought that it will be better to wait year and then carry out school program without having to be so conservative as will be neceS- sary if the funds and work have to be arranged for at the present time.

 Considerable talk has been aroused by the fact that the Bridgeport Gas Light company was given a reduction by the board of relief to the tune of $l23,136. It is pointed out that this IS bhe amount of great many ser vice charge payments, and it does moi exactly set well with the people of the town to see this reduction, in spite, or the fact that the service charge is stlll being collected, with no definite plan or indication that it will be removed, although in several other towns of the state protests have been won by the common people and the charge withdrawn.
 The fire department had a busy hour and a half shortly after noon yesterday when the most ambitious grass fire of the season occurred on Main street near the plant of the Warner Bros. A great deal of back firing was done. and the flames shot nigh in the air, being visible for a great distance. Reports were that a barn had been destroyed, but there was no property damage, in fact great deal of good was, no doubt. done by the conf1agration.
