 w. H. Hunter town manager Is not being nasty about selections for any 1 positions and anyone in town desiring | chance will have an opportunity to file an application before the matter | of choice Is closed. Donald S. Samnnis, member of the l council, has made a statement that | it will take hard work to keep the budget within the s500.O00 mark, which will be 8 surprise to many.

Ardstice Day. will cost Stratford about $500. bst voluntary subscrfptions, which is cheap for such an event, which will appear more inn portant when more people realize what wonderful bridge has been constructed.

 Stratford people are almost as in- terested in the city election in Bridge port as they are in the Stratford Town elections. This S due to the fact that so many residents of the town are in business, or are employed, in Bridge port, and are therefore interested in matters like taxes, subsequent rates of rental, etc. An almost universal leaning towards the Democratic can dtdate is noted in this group, which has no vote in Bridgeport.
 It seems that Town Clerk Harold c. Lowell, ct al; have come in for a little ''razzing" for paying bills, not itemfzed. The said ''razzing'' coming from S.

Lowell had not forgotten his little lesson so he spoke his title piece something like this:
 "why Mir. Shook. this bill is not itemized."
 "Oh that is not necessary" replied Ethe teacher.
 'Oh but it is." replied the taught.
 It will be today.
