Tho finance board viii meet with members of the school board this evening at o'clock at the Town hall for the purpose of consulting with that body on the proposed budget of the school board for the coming year.
 No official action will be taken It this meeting, the purpose of the session being merely to acquaint the finance board with the items of the budget and to give the school board m opportunity to explain certain phrases of its requests for the com- Ing year. At a later date. the budget will be submitted to the finance board at an open meeting which is usually we'll attended by voters. The school board is required by town nets to submit it's appropriation re- quests before the other departments o, the town submit their estimates.
 It is generally believed that this years budget of the school board will be considerably larger than last years requests. Extensive building plans will no doubt have | place in the budget for 1s27-2s and extension plans in other schools will probably require further appro- nriations School Superintendent criswold's annual report, submitted recently, has mentioned the aims of ,he school board for the coming year and several items in the report roint to a sizeable enlargement or the appropriations asked
 Included in the requests for con alterations by the superintendent oi schools in her report was an i'eih involving a dental hygiene expert to visit local schools, an item whlch IS eatimated as costing approx1mately 41 900 q, year.

CHANGE BAND|TRY
CHARGE TO THEFT
Harold De Witt Will Face
Larceny Count.

Harold Dewitt, "a, of GIT Coffey
ST., said to be one of the "Chrysler
roadster bandits" who held up over
a dozen filling stations and pedes-
trians over the State, was bound over
to the grand jury Tuesday afternoon
on charge of robbery. He is being
held under $4,000 bond. Municipal
Judge Paul c. Wetter dropped
charges of vagrancy and auto bandit
ry against De Witt, saying that De

larceny.
De Witt was arrested after a
search of about five weeks, follow
ing the arrest of Forrest Strother,
IS, of 1906 Rucl5le ST., and Forrest
Smith. %, of 329 E. Tenth ST., said
to be members of the same group.
Strother was bound over to the
grand jury a week ago on charges
Of auto banditry and robbery, while
Smith is awaiting removal to Evans
vile for trial.
Mrs. Anna Shortridge, 702 n. Ala
bama ST., an employee of the Arma-

PLEAOF HIGHWAY
BODY IS FROWNED
UPON BY MEMBERS
Request for $40, 900 Annual
Budget by Director May
Meet Failure.

That, the budget committee will
recommend that the budget request
of Director Jonn Williams of the
highway department be turned down
was indicated today. Members frown
upon the idea of asking the Legis-
lature for $20.O0O,0O0 annually for
two years and also upon the salary
raise of'the director, which is already
in force.
Members feel that the fund now
going to the counties should remain
there, rather than being turned over
TO the State at large, as Williams
recommended. 1t is understood that
they Will approve of the present plan
in their recommendation to the Leg
islature.
Williams has appeared in person
before the committee and defended
his requests. He told the committee
that his department has a budget In
force and condemned the idea of
submitting another as other depart
mentS do.
1t was learned that bills support
ing his contention will be introduced,
turning the entire revenue of the
three-cent gasoline tax into the high
way fund, rather than splitting it
with the counties as is the present
plan.

HAMILTON, Ontario Jan. r.
John Barty, already legally dead,
died in actually today.
He was hanged at the Wentworth
county Jail for. the murder of Mrs.
Nancy Cook, I'm Ontario woman,
whom he beat to death with a ham,
mer.
The execution ended a strange
three weeks in the life Of Barty and
in the history of Ontario courts. He
was scheduled to be hanged three
weeks ago. The niSht before, the
gallows were prepared and Borty
taken 70 the death house. But JUS
tice LcnnoX of the Appellate Court
signed q stay of execution despite
the fact that all other members of
the court refused.
The sheriff Cancelled the execution
and then announced that he believed
4 mistake had been made, that JUS
tice LennoX had no jurisdiction and
his order was not legal. Therefore,
said the sheriff, Barty had ceased to
exist legally at the moment set for
his hanging, although the hanging
did not take place.

with the problem Of importing a
large part of our wheat from abroad

bread which would serve TIE needs
