Republicans In
 Guerilla Battle With Orangemen

Belfast, March 20-Guerrilla war fare between detachments of the Irish Republican army and armed Orange men broke out along the southern frontier of Ulster province over the weekend, and advtces received here today said that the situation was most critical.
 One Ulster special constable was killed in fight with armed Republicans in a fight near Maghera, County Derry. The Sim Feiners had raided the po- lice barracks at Magnhere, seizing rifles, bombs and ammunition. They were pursued by the Ulster constables and a fight ensued.
 A similar raid had been made earlier by armed Sim Feiners upon the constabulary barracks at Pome- roy, County Tyronne.
 Telegraph and telephone lines on the border had been cut but news of fighting was brought into the interior by border residents who fled in fear of their lives.
 At some points along the Ulster boundary shooting was almost con- tinuous throughout the week end.
 The Ulster forces prepared to cope with raids over the frontier by Repub- licans.

Blame Small Tax Payers.

The shortage of funds, which makes necessary the borrowing of money, has been brought about by the failure of Bridgeport property owners to meet their 1921 tax bills. According to accounts in the tax col- lector'S office, it is the small taxpayer who is mostly to blame. Several large bills including one for $23,000, an- other for S17, 900 and a third for S10,- 900 are charged against local corpora tions, but the greater portion of un- paid taxes is composed of small bills.
 The special six mills tax has been paid much more promptly than the regular tax. The six mills rate was laid for the purpose of raising ap- S109, of this amount has been collected.
 Personal tax collection is another matter for worry. The amount of per low the estimated figure, and no signs of immediate betterment are forth- coming.
 Poor Business Conditions
 Poor business conditions and lack of employment are given as the cause of the figure of many citizens to pay their pr lJerty taxes. With many local factories closed or working on part time, thousands have been forced to seek other kinds of employment at less wages, and consequently have un- able to meet their tax bils. It is esti- mated that ap'proNim ately STOOD on pack taxes Will be collected this month. but this will not be enough to cover the big deficit.
 Another matter which will probably be brought before the Council tonight, is the Board of Fducation's request for a $350,00O appropriation. This money is to be used in remode1ling Star Shirt factory for schoolhouse purposes. and the funds will have to be available in the near future, if the building is to be ready for use by Sep tember.
 No Choice Indicated.
 The appointments of a plumbing and masonry inspector in the Build ing Inspector's department will also be a part of tonight's business, and

Committee Appointed For

Of $s,2OO Granted For Relief To Impetus Is Given For New School Structure.
 Various Deparmtents- Pease Believes

The Fairfield town meeting held Saturday evening in Fairfield town hall adopted a resolution Of the Sohool Board and appointed Finance Board a. committee with an appro- pr-iation of $500 to look into the mat ter of making additions to the present High school or erecting a new one. Sheriff Simeon Pease. president Of the School Board, said today that the board hopes for a new High school building to take care of the present students and the 100 new ones to come in this fall. The present build students there will be no place to put them-
 The appropriation made by the town meeting is given to assist the committee in planning to relieve the situation. It is thought that the in veStdgating committee will plan with an architect for a new High school that the residents and taxpayers want so badly.
 Sheriff Pease speaking for the School Board said that it was a. good omen and that it gives the new High school idea a start.
 The finance board will have from now until May to investigate the true conditions and will make a detailed report at the town meeting to be held later
 750 was granted the school board for additional expenses in running the department. Last year this sum of money was cut from the school board budget. the finance board thinking that it would not be needed.
 An additional appropriation of SS, 200 was granted for use by town hall departments in case of need. It is not thought that much of this money
 ~1 be used as most of the depart ments are, within their appropria- tions. The only. department that might need additional money is the selectmen's office which has charge of granting and taking care of resi- dents too poor to support themselves because of unemployment or other causes.
 The selectmen were authorized by ticipation of the collection of taxes. if they deem it necessary.
 As was indicated a Is mill tax rate vas levied This rate is the same as ast year.
