APPROVE IMPROVEMENTS
County Legislators Esdorse Chsngcs
 at ChildreB'. Home

Approval of the installation of bath tubs and other improvements made at the Children'a Home. including saui- tary arrangements and ventilation. was accorded on last week when sen- ators and representatives to the gen eral assembly from Windham County, met at the Home st the call Of the Windham County Commissioners.
 The county. at the annual meeting, appropriated S2l poo for the erection of an addition at the Home and for the making of improvements in the old part. Bids on the proposed job, however. exceeded the money available. So the commissioners decided to defer building the addition.
 Since then. there has been a falling oT in the number of children at the Home. and the need of the addition has temporarily, at least. disappeared
 But vital improvements had to be made at the old part of the Home, and these were made last spring. To pay for these the commissioners sought the approval of the legislature of this county. to use a part of the $2l ,OOu made available at the annual meeting
 The improvements made were ap. proved and sanction to use whatever part of the S2i 900 as necessary, was given
