The superintendent adds that in

He states that the average per

Important Matters Up Before Meeting
Bacon Case Wedding-Items of In
tereSt.

One of the most important matters
to come UP before a special borough
meeting to be held in the Town hall
this evening, is the appointment of a
day patrolman, measure that is fav-
ored by the businessmen of the town.
The tax rate for the borough will al
so be laid. Last year, the rate was
6ia mills and with the new matters
being put through, officials stated
that they cannot see how it will be
much lower.

Everything seems to be quiet along
the Potomac as far as the teachers
and the school superintendent are
concerned, but many of the parties
involved state that the present lull In
the battle is only temporary. The talk
down somewhat and 1t is believed that
the teachers, for the most part, are
satisfied with the concession made to
them with regard to the 30-day clause
in their contracts. Several of them.
however, are known to be preparing
to go elsewheres to teach the next
year.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-06-01

Two other matters which will come
UP for action at the special town
meeting to be held next Wednesday
evening. are the sale of the old school
property in Milldale and the erection
of a new schoolhouse in Flanders to
replace the one destroyed by fire. 1t
is thought that the sale price of the
old site in Milldale will be sufficient
to cover the cost of erecting the new
building in Flanders.
