that he heard at the convention. He.
reports crop conditions between here

week Judge Levin W. Wickes, presid-
ing over the June term of Circuit
Court for Cecil county, granted a
mandamus to compel Mayor Mackall
to administer the oath of Office to
Sweet and Lynch, as required by law.
Counsel for Mackall took an appeal
and gave bond. A previous injunction
was granted by the Circuit Court COM
pelling the Town Council to place the
names of Messrs. Sweet and Lynch
on the ballot at annual town election
held here on May 22nd. The same
contention was then put up by Mayor
Mackall against Messrs. Lynch and
Sweet as candidates for Town Com
missioners. At first it was thought the
case would not be decided by the
Court of Appeals until October, but
a special session already called for
July 7th, gives an opportunity for an
earlier settlement.

ASKING KIRKLAND TO
ORGANIZE GUARD VETERANS

Col. E. T. kirkland of New London
has received a letter from Former Cox
ernor Marcus H. Holconnb, state conman-
der of the Connecticut State Guard Vet
eran association, formed in New Haven
several months ago, asking him to take
charge of the enrolment of members of
the association in the Third military
district of the state guard, of which he
was formerly in command. The district
includes Norwich New London and 9TH
er parts of eastern Connecticut Capt
John B. Pendleton is secretary Of 4 tenn
porary organization of this district, which
was formed some time ago, and applica-
tons for membership may be forwarded
to him.
State Commander Holcomrbs letter fol-
lows:
An organization is being formed to be
known as the Connecticut State Guard
Veteran Association. which all hono-a5ly
discharged ex-members of the Connectf-
cut Home Guard or Connecticut State
Guard are invited to join.
The objects of the association are to
perpetuate the good fellowship existing
| among those who served their state
through the instrumentality of the Home
| or State Guard and to cherish the tradi-
tons of the service. Therefore, it is wor-
| thy of hearty and general support.
1t Is proposed to have one or more
general meetings of the members of the
association each year, the first meeting
| to be held at some convenient seaside re-
sort next summer.
To make the necessary arrangements
for this meeting the association should
! be perfected as early as is practicable.
! For that purpose the last commanding
officer of the state guard in each Of the
six military districts into which the
state was divided will take charge of the
enrolment of members of the associa-
ton in his district, and will call upon
the last commanding officer Of each
state guard unit in his district to assist
in making said enrolment. Each com
handing officer is requested to aci
promptly and to report the progress made
to the undersigned commander of SAID
| Veteran organization at an early date
and not later than the first day of next
June.

PETITIONS FOR PERMISSION
tn STE SILICA

Robert w Perkins, receiver of the
Shore Line Electric Railway Co., has
petitioned the superior court for au-
thority to bring a suit against the Cen
necticut Selica Corporation of North
Stonington and the American Surety Co,
Of New York, to collect a claim of 81
473.2S against the Silica company.
In the petition the receiver represents
that there was a contrac> made in Au-
gust, 1918, by which connection was
to be made between the Shore Line troll
ley tracks and the SILICA Co, property
and that the SILICA Co. was to- produce
for transportation 50,oA0 tons during the
term Of the contract. II was further
provided that the Silica Co. would pay
the Shore Line Co. cents per ton on
the difference between the $4,000 tons
contracted for and the actual tonnage
delivered. 1t is claimed that 474 rs
tons of silica was produced for trans
portation and that s2,473.2S is now due.
The silica mine from which the con-
nectlon to the trolley line was run is
the well-known silica mine at Lantern
Hill in the town of North stonington.

ANCIENT LYME CHURCH
TO BE COPIED AT AREA. I'LL.

A Chicago dispatch says: An old colon
ial meeting house-the First Congrega-
tional church of Lyme, Conn. is to be re-
produced at Area, H. 80 miles from Chi
cago, as a Catholic church. 1t is to be
the chapel of the new Catholic University,
St. Mary of the Lake.
1--WE are not appropriating anything
from the colonial architects, but are mere
~ taking back our own" Joseph w Nc
earthly designer of the university said,
when asked to explain the choice of the
Connecticut meeting house as a model for
a Catholic church THE Adams brothers
brouhgt the colonial, or strictly speaking,
Georgian style to England from Rome, and
the Romans got it from the Greeks.
plans for the early colonial churches
were mainly drawn in London, and re-
flected the Adams craze, then the vogue
there The original plans for the Lyme
meeting house erected in 1851 are sup
posed to have come from England, as the
contractor, one Pelcher, was not an ar
chitect and his gVorkmen were largely ship
carpenters There is an old story in Lyme
that the plans were brought from England
in one of the Lyme ships"
The present Lyme church, a reproduc-
ton of the one built in 1915, was construct
ed after fire destroyed the original one il
1907. The reproduction at st. Mary Of
the Lake University will follow it, so fan
as the exterior is concerned, except thai
the Catholic chapel will be of brick ant
stone instead of the white pine used al
Lyme. The interior has been rearrange<
to conform to the needs of a CatholK
church.
The real reason for choosing the colon
ial meeting house as a model according t,
Mr. Mccarthy, was to carry OF the deci
sion of Archbishop George J. Mundelein t.
build the new university in the colonia
style. When conf ieted the Area, Univers
ity will be a training school for 500 can
didates for the priesthood.

EAST LYME TAX RATE


~ 10 MILLS
The town Of East Lyme will have a
tax rate of Is mills for the ensuing year,
according to the vote Of the annual town
meeting held Monday afternoon in the
basement of the Flanders church The
meeting voted not to have three members
on the town school committee instead of
nine The town will give the matter of
high school instruction to its children at
home further consideration, and the new
Flanders schoolhouse is going to be in
spected from top to bottom by a regular
ly qualified expert engineer to make sure
that the walls are firm and the roof able
to bear the burden of East Lyme snow
flakes and raindrops and icicles of aver
age length. The selectmen are also au-
thorged to buy stone crusher, if it is
their judgment to do so and they can get
one at a reasonable figure.
Miss Celeste E. Bush pictured New
London as wicked metropolis in assert
ing that the children of East Lyme would
be better off to complete their schooling
at home rather than to permit them, at
their tender years-the girls especially
to Gttend the city high schools. why"
