A large num- Der of school children attended and many of the parents. Proceeds will be used to purchase present for the school which the graduating class wished to give.

 A meeting of the board of select men and Mir. Tibbetts, engineer of the Connecticut Co.,, will be held next week in regard to the proposed raising of the trolley tracks at Ma pie Hill avenue. At present the tracks are much lower than Rob- bins avenue at this point and con- stitute hazard for motorists. Mir. Tibbets has estimated that the work will cost about 5000 foot and since it has been proposed that the tracks be raised three feet. the total cost will probably be about $s,0o0. There is an appropriation in the town budget for this year to cover the improvement of Maple Hill ave- nue which is in bad condition. As soon as the matter of raising the tracks has been settled, First Select man James C. Gilbert will proceed with the repairing of the road.

Now that the department has been in corporated, 1t can hold property but it was necessary to get new deed from the former owner.

 MT. Ray. a member of the special committee appointed to confer with the park board in the matter of seats for the annual New Britain and Hartford High school football game next fall reported that the commit tee would appear before the board of finance and taxation with a re- quest for s7,5O0 which would go toward the payment for the con- struction of 6,4oo seats This with 1.2S3 for which the park board al- ready has an appropriation will make a total of 7.733 additional seats. The report was accepted as one of progress. It was learned that the bleachers could be ready for the game if ordered as late as the first Of August.
 Discussion of School Sales
 Declaring that that property which now houses the old Burritt school at the corner of Main and East Main streets should be saved as an Important cog in the development of realty in the northern section of the city, MT. Levitt who was ap- pointed chairman of the committee to look into the matter of selling the old Burritt. the old Lincoln Street school and the old Bassett residence recommended. that no &C., ton be taken on the sale of two of them at this time. He recom- mended that the Lincoln street school property be put on the mar ket and sealed bids asked.
 "The old Burritt school property is a different matter" Mir. Levitt said. He described 1t as central piece of realty which would develop with the city. ITO divorce outselves from this property would be an er- TOT at this time for it will be an important development north of the tracks," he predicted.
 Attorney Casale spoke against the fiat footed" policy. saying that the committee should decide to put the property on the market when the proper price is offered instead of giving the public the impression

efficiently we will function for he is the person responsible"
 The teachers committee accepted Mir. Holmes recommendations in the matter of appointments.
 Committeeman Levitt voiced the opinion that he would like to see the list in advance. ::Mr. Day hasn't a single objection to any on the list and I don't think there is any ob- jection on the part of the board members" he said.
 Secretary Burr who. with Mir. King and MT. Holmes. make up the membership of the teachers com mittee, said he would like to make one point clear which might be mis- interpreted. ..The teachers commit tee goes into the facts about the ap- pointment of teachers and Mir. Kings statement that Mr. Holmes decides on the appointment of the teachers would lead people to be- lieve that the committee is not functioning in its duty" he declared.
 Information on how the system was first originated was given by Supt. Holmes. who said that when the staff of teachers became so large that the committee was obliged to spend much time on their selection, Judge Gaffney worked out the pres- ent system which he found was legal and would save time.
 The board voted to follow the present method and tho teachers whose names were printed in the Herald last evening were elected to positions for next year.
 Every member of the board with the exception of Committeeman Louis w. Young, who was called out of town on business, was present including the new members, Attor- ney s. Gerard Casale and James J. Butler.
 Those present were President P F. King. Secretary Henry T. Burr William H. Day. George w. Traut, Joseph NJ. Halloran. Morris D. Sake George Levitt, Mrs. Fife c. Kim ball, Mrs. Laura F. Mangan. Attor- ney Casale and Mir. Butler.
 King Reelected President
 President P. r. King was unani- mously reelected president and Hen ry I. Burr was unanimously re- elected secretary. The former has been president of the board since Judge Gaffney retired in 1923. Mir Burr took over the secretaryshp after Edward Pratt retired last year.
 The sub-committees for next year were selected as follows: Finance. George w. Traut, chairman; Louis W. Young and Joseph NJ. Halloran; text book. Mrs. Laura P. Mangan, chairman. Mrs. Fife G. kimball

that the school board is taking the development.
 The city is losing revenue by holding the property" he said. If we sell we will not only receive the purchase price but would also give the city the benefit of taxes"
 Mir. Levitt said it was not the subcommittee opinion that the property should not be sold but 1t felt that no action should be taken at this time. MT. Levitt suggested the place be used as a city parking station for the present. When question by Mrs. Mangan concerning the disposal of the old Bassett residence, Mr. Levitt said that bids were asked for and when the time came when bids were to be opened there were no bids. The committee recommendations were adopted.
 A letter from the New Britain Fresh Air Camp, Inc, asking for a temporary house which is situated in the rear of tho old Lincoln street school was referred to the finance committee with a request that it confer with the corporation counsel before 1t acts.
 The school accomm odations com- mittee recommended that it be au- thorized to request an appropriation
 
 equipment of an elementary school to be located on Clinton street. Per mission was granted on the motion Of Mrs. Mangan.
 Miss Louis Bennett was granted additional compensation for services as acting principal of the Israel | Putnam school when favorable &C., tion was taken on the teachers committee report.
