 ner and for the best interests of the citi-
 zens of the city generally. The reasons given by the members of the Board of Education on the subject in question follow:
 Joseph T. Anquillare-"For the past few years the number of applications for use of school halls has shown a decided increase and in some cases 1t was found that the hall had been used for other purposes than what was in- tended when permission had been granted to use the hall. I SNTo make certain that in the future the use of the hall would only be given to those entitled to use 1t plans had been discussed for several weeks and it was finally decided to put into operation beginning February Ist a
 plan whereby all applications for the
 use of the hall would have to be made
 in sufficient time to allow an investi- gation.
 ''In the past the young lady who signed the permit for Mr. John Mur-
 phy had been in the habit of sign
 ing some of the permits and when
 MT. Murphy called on her for a per init, she mot knowing of the new rule
 of the board, signed the permit which
 was later revoked because there was
 not sufficient time to allow an inves-
 tigation by the board. This is the
 sole reason for the refusal on the part
 of the Board of Education to allow the hall to be used on the occasion in question"
 Miss Caroline Marchant-"In view of the fact that the rules and regula- tions of the board had been so lately discussed 1 felt that 1 should abide by the rules and this meeting did not come under any head stated"
 MT. Ettlinger-"1 am not anxious to get into any controversy at all. The action of the board was unani- nous and 1 want to stand by that action. The matter had been dis cussed over the telephone/ with all members of the board and the decis- ion reached"
 Dr. Hugh Keating-"I am a mem Der of the committee on school build ings which passes on applications for the use of school halls. This con- mittee not being consulted had noth- ing to do with whatever /arrange- of the school When the question was considered, if 1t was considered, at any meeting of the board or its committee, l was not present, and any action that was taken was, as far as 1 know, taken by the president of the school board"
 Miss George B. Troup-'1 desire to state that my vote was registered in conformity with rule adopted by the Board of Education some time ago, that the use of these halls were to be limited to those who desire them for strictly educational purposes.
 "The spirit of that rule, as I un- 1erstand 1t, was to forbid the use of :hese halls for propaganda or con- purposes. I certainly would zee no reason for promulgating a rule on this matter unless we are going o live up to it. Either the school lalls will have to be thrown open to and anybody who wishes 0 use them-frst come, first served lave to be devised in regard to their se. Thus the board tried to formu- ate such policy"
 A. A. Alling-''You cannot get a tatement from me at any time for and you can tell MT. Orn- urn I said that he is foolish to think e can.'
 Two weeks ago when leaders of the hopmen's strike learned that Bert M. ewell was in this vicinity great eff orts were made to have him come"to lew Haven and address the strikers nd finally MT. Jewell found way in mich he could come here and noti- ed the strike leaders when he would rrive. Immediate efforts were made ) secure hall but when 1t was found lat all the large halls of the city had cen previously engaged application or the use of the auditorium was
