publican vote would be in the South

DEADLOCK ON VOTE
 FOR NEW FIRE HOSE
NeWington Finance Board Also
 Rejects School Proposals

NeWlngton. Nov. No action was taken by the finance board on the three matters which were brought up at its meeting held Saturday evening at the home of George w.. Hanbury at the center. The three matters were the approval of the ap- preparations for the purpose of 500 feet of fire hose, the erection of one unit of proposed high school, and the purchase Of a site on which to erect school building in the south- east section Of the town.
 The appropriation Of $500 for the purchase of fire hose for the vol unteer fire department came up at the annual town meeting after 1t had been rejected by the finance board. It was the cause Of long and heat ed discussion at that time. 4 vote was finally passed requesting the board to reconsider it's action. The vote on the subject Saturday night ended in tie and no action was taken.
 The board could take no action on either of the matters presented by the school board. The school board was represented at the meet ing and requested the approval Of the finance board Of an appropria- ton Of sS5,0Oe, for the erection of one unit of proposed high school on the site recently purchased. The other appropriation was for $500. for the purchase Of a site in the southeast district of the town on which a small school building could be built when the number of child ren in that section warranted such action. The board determined that it had no power to act in such case The matter must first be taken by the school committee to the first selectman. The board must prove to him that such appropriations are necessary and, providing he ap- proves these matters, he will request the finance board 10 hold a meeting 10 consider them. Chairman G. Er- nest Root of the finance board said Saturday night that ill all prohabili- ty a special meeting of the board will be held soon to vote on these two projects.

with all but the drivers curtain in

When it is suggested to many
closed car owners that they try the
plan OK avoiding annoying currents
OF air by opening up all the win
dows on a warm day many counter
with the reply that they find this
creates q miniature tornado.
1t never occurs to many that II
they are going to open up the car
they should not open up the throt-
tie simultaneously, unless dressed
for the occasion.
A special convenience offered by
any closed car Is that one may open
up just one side of the car, thereby
obtaining plenty Of air without
cross currents and draughts.
OF course, this can be accom-.
pltshed with the open car, too, but
only at the expense of frequent
stops in order to change and ad.
just side curtains.
Closed Car Features
In travelling in the rain, a
frequent situation in summer, the
closed car can be opened on the
side away from the wind.
A turn OF the road, change in
the position of the car, and it is
merely matter Of regulating the
windows to meet the new condi-
tionR. The driver Of the open car
Is not so fortunate in this respect.
~ 1t Is not so much a matter of try
ing to make the closed car better
than the open model but rather of
making the best of what one has,
ana today e great many persons
have closed cars.
It is well to aspire to ownership
OF one OF those smart rcadsters or
phaetons, but during the period Of
aspiration there is no need to lose
sight Of the fact that the closed car
has certain unused features.
For example, note how many
owners Of closed cars deplore the
fact that on a hot summers even
