OLD court HOUSE
IS NOT PAID FOR,
WEST DECLARES
Bonds Still Outstanding,
Candidate For Revenue
Board Contends

Attacking the record Of the present
board of revenue on the new court
house project, Henry C. West, one Of
the "a candidates for the board, charged
Wednesday that the old courthouse is
not yet paid for and promised addi-
tional disclosures later in the campaign.
This, together with t6es revelation
that organized labor, through the Al
lied Labor Council, in addition to its
unqualified Endorsement of K Il. Moore,
has given friendly comfort" to four
other candidates, are the latest devel-
opments in the board scramble, which
reached the fighting stage at free
for-all meeting staged Tuesday by the
League of Women Voters
Bonds Outstanding
MANY of the bonds voted for the old
courthouse still are outstanding, West
declared. IT am assembling Interest,"
ing facts and figures which viii Short
II be passed on TO the voters.
Vests position, he Indicated = not
one o1 ppaosis ielli q new egurthense,
but Afl effort to NzIow that the old rev
enue board members have not handled
affairs n A way to justify their re-
election. He issued no definite state
ment on this point, however.
According to West, the entire court
house question should have been SUBJ
mitted to a vote of the people months
ago. Instead of waiting till the pres
sure became uncomfortable" 49,
While withholding its official in
dorsement, the labor council is said to
have extended the hand of friendship
to the following candidates for the
board. s. Il. BatsoD, Lacy Edmond
son, A. ". Vines and r. e. Smith.
This leaked out in political circles
Wednesday morning. r. r.. Moore was
publicly Endorsed last week for a seat
on the board.
Answering lIedicos
Many candidates, after facing the
women voters, have set themselves to
the task of answering the pointed quer-
les of the Physicians Civic League,
which lay particular stress on health
measures.
Those candidates who could not APP
pear before the voters league Tuesday
afternoon will be heard at the next
meeting, it was announced BY Mrs. j.
N. Hankins, president. Candidates for
all other offices will be invited to APP
pear later in the campaign.
Members of the present revenue
board, three Of whom are out for. re-
election, were not ready Wednesday
to announce their course with refer
ence to a referendum1On the new court
house issue. 1t is now definitely as
sured that the referendum will not be
held on May IS, date Of the state and
county primary, s
While the impression prevails that
a referendum will be fixed for some
other date, so as to make il legal, some
believe that the idea of popular vote
will be abandoned and that the board
viii proceed to carry out its original
plan to sell the old building and Greer
the new one on the Woodrow Wilson
park site, The board members are ST.
lent.
Preparations for political rallies in
various parts of the county were 7heing
made Wednesday, with indications that
next week will see score or more of
meetings! Some candidates, it is learn
ed, win invite their opponents to en-
gage in joint debates.

Your Summer
Vacation

will mean SO much more if you
have a car. Get out of the con-
ventional vacation this summer
and spend a couple of weeks
"gypsying" about in the great
out-of-doors-by night camping
under the blue sky and by day
idly drifting along winding high
ways and through sun-strewn
glens. A vacation like this will
cost less and more truly accom-
plish that sense of change and
relaxation that you naturally ex-
pect.
Satisfactory used cars that will
give good service can be pur-
chased as low as a hundred dol
lars, and from that on up to as
high as your means and fancies
dictate. Any used car can be
purchased on such easy pay

At the special town meeting Thurs day night 10 fix the tax rate and also to take up several other matters of interest to the town it is expected that the tax rate will undergo a reduction of one-half a mill. This reduction will make the tax rate for the coming year a6 i-s mills. Tho amount of money to be raised is S205,o0o and with the new rate of taxation it will be possible to raise it and have a sur. plus of about $500.
 Tho tax will also raise sufficicn, money 10 cover the s2,t00 in notes on the new Milldale school, with interest cn money borrowed for tho erection of tho school amounting to s2,0oO and the sum of s4,e05 which will be ad- Nanccd 10 the state as a part of the cost of the new road from the Hart ford Battery Co. through Clark street to tho Waterbury Milldaie turnpike.
 The conclusion to reduce the tax rate one-half a mill is understood to have been reached as the result of meeting of the selcctmen on Thursday night.
