nard Passes Away Suddenly.
 The final few days Of the election campaign, if campaign 1t can he called with only two contests in pros- poet, has showed considerable amount of activity on the part Of some Of the candidates as well as the public. During the primaries and for the first week or so after the primaries, no particular interest in the election was apparent, and il was expected that only a very light vote would he cast,
 The last few days however, has shown d lot Of activity on the part of some of the candidates for re- election 10 the council, and Rolfe F.. Howe. candidate for assessor. is making strenuous efforts 10 rally his friends 10 his aid. All of the old members Of the council seek r"- election. and Charles T.. Anderson has publicly sought the support of the electorate, as well as Council man W. 4. Hayes.
 According to the city charter, 12 candidates for the city council are entitled to have their name appear on the machines. but the primary election developed only nine who sought election to that body. six of whom are members al present. Frank Dutton. a member of the council for over S0 years until two years ago. has been persuaded by his friends 10 stand for the council once more.
 Of the five questions to be voted upon, two are causing q large amount of discussion; the one relat- ing to school Consolidation and the Police Pension Fund Amendment. So far there have appeared public ly only two proponents of the School Consolidation question, John Don nelly and stephen M. Wells. It is believed however, that the public is not sufficiently informed as 10 the mechanics of the task of consolidat- ing the many school districts of the city, and according 10 those who claim to be well informed on the matter, the consolidation project is doomed to defeat.
 The Police Pension Fund question is placed before the public merely for the purpose of getting public confirmation of the act of the Gen. oraI Assembly, establishing the fund and adopting certain amendments. which are in line with the Pension Fund Provisions Of other cities. The amendments provide for pension for the widows of officers of the po- lie" force who may suffer death in line of duty, and another amend ment provides retirement of officers at the age Of 60, who have served continuously for 95 years, at half pay.
 The Pension Fund is already es- abolished and provided under d state and the action of the vot- CTS Monday is merely for the ap- proval of .he amendments.
 Tho arrangement of the voting machines and ballot for Mondays election, is as follows:
 Questions: No. 1, Shall We con- Soliddte the school districts of the Town of Bristol? No. 2, Shall we approve Special Act 1c4 of the 1927 session of the general assembly es- ,ablishlng and providing for a Po- lice Benefit Fund in the City of Bris- tol" No. 3.
