STOCK PRICES IN
BRISK RECOVERIES
Railroad Shares Are Leaders
in Advance

New York. Nov. 10 R,--Stock
prices made brisk recovery from re-
cent weakness under the leadership
OF the railroad shares in today's
market.
While uneasiness over money
rates was reflected in tho reduced
volume OF trading, the failure OF the
Bank OF England to raise its rate
today was generally construed as an
indication that the expected increase
in the New York federal reserve
rate would not come this week.
Motors were subjected to another
vigorous selling attack. early gains
OF one to three points Ia that group
being converted into losses OF similar

DEBT IS REDUCED
Watcrbury's Indebtedness TO State
Cut Down to $4,000 by This
Years School Enrolment.

Hartford, Nov. 10 Up, - Water
bury has made to the state comp
troller its enumeration OF the chill
dren of school age in the city. for
this year. The enumcrators found
500 children from four to 16
years Of age. This number is just
four hundred more than in 1924.
The enumeration grant at S2.25
per child amounts to $4,000, but
Waterbury will not receive any
part of the grant. The full amount
will be credited to Waterbury to
reimburse the state for the sum
paid on account of errors in for
mer enumerations. The claim of
the state against Waterbury was
compromised for $4,000, the
municipality agreeing to allow the
amount of its annual grant TO be
applied on the states claim. By
successive payments the claim
against Waterbury has been re-
duced to about $4,000. The grants
are enumeration grants and are
paid in March. When the town is
given credit for this years cnumer-
alton the city will owe the state
a little over $4,000.
The Bristol enumeration shows
6,O99 children Of school age in that
city, or four hundred more than
last year. Bristol will receive S1S,-
1875. Pennington has 1,075 chill
dren of school age and will re-
ceive s2,41S.75.
