Work upon the budget for the
coming fiscal year was practically
completed by the board Of finance at
Its meeting in the Town hall last
night, four-hour session ending at
midnight with but little work left.
The selectmen's and tremens budg-
cts were the items under considera-
ton, the school budget having previ-
ously been approved as presented.
The selectpen's estimates, which
cover all ~ multitudinous large
and small activities not included in
the other two budgets, proved a
more complicated matter and did not
receive final and definite stamp of
appreciation. Several changes may
be made in it, Chairman S. s, CIVIL
lin, said today. but they will all be
of minor nature.
Mr.. Gwillim explained the pro-
cedure which the law requires the
board to carry out. A public hear
ing will be held, probably within the
next two weeks. when all taxpayers
VIII have an opportunity to present
items which they think should be in
cluded in the budget and to make
any suggestions or complaints which
they feel desirable or necessary, The
board may make some changes in
It's figures as result of this hear
ing, so it cannot announce definite
totals until afterwards,
AS soon as the townspeople have
had their opportunity to help the
board, the finance body will hold an
other meeting and draw I'D its final
figures. These will be presented to
the town at the annual town meet
ing in October.
When the grand list has been
compiled early next year and the
board OF relief has made any nee

the finance board will take the total
amount of the grand list and that of

Benefit Game This Evening
lhe championship teams of two
industrial baseball leagues will test
each others strength this evening
when the Trumbull Electric nine of

team OF New Britain meet at the
High school field. The game is ex-
pected to draw large crowd. One
reason Is that the calibcr of Tho
visiting team is well recognized as
exceptionally high, as the Buttmak-
ers went through the fast Dusty

defeat charged against them. A Sec

BATTLES WITH SOLITAIRE
Patient Conductor Who Plays Garfield
Game Declares He Has
Never Cheated.

I Decatur, Ill.-With 1929 games OF
solitaire to his credit, c. III. Conklin
of Decatur, passenger conductor on
the Wabash railroad, holds the worlds
record. Commencing to play more
than thirty years ago to while away
the time between layOvers at the end
of his run, he became so absorbed in
The game that he commenced to keep
n book account of the play in order to
determine just. what were the chances
of winning and losing. Soon after
completing his first 10000 games, when
he was mere beginner, he found
that the average was one in 1910.
Strange to say, this proportion
held good up to the present time. In
three decades and with more than
1900 hours of play he has won but
6oS games.
Diogenes was credited with seeking
an honest man with the aid of Ian
tern. The eminent Greek explorers
investigations can end right here.
Conklin can truthfully say that he has
never cheated himself when engaged
in his daily battle with his sworn
enemy, Old Sol.

and solely for the love of the game.
For cheating, while it might win from
Mr.. Sol, would spoil Conklin's care
fully kept record, an accurate, care
fully tabulated account of every one
of the l21 ,219 games. From this he
has calculated chances, possibilities
and probabilities for every run of his
SO pasteboard friends. With this he
has been able to take the law of aver
ages apart to see what made it tick.
Conklin plays what is known as the
Garfield game, dealing IS cards down.
He then deals four-card family, face
up. He next deals foundation card,
also up. Then he plays the Garfield
method, the object being to get the
cards "out' in order to get cards
played.

Long Island Has One
Bright Spot, Anyhow

Locust Valley, N. "a priceless
splash of red and pink and white en-
liyens the dull winter landscape of
camellias on the estate of William L.
Coe, millionaire racehorse owner and
sportsman, is in bloom in his green
houses here.
Twenty years have been given by
Coe to the upbuilding of this collec-
ton of little-known oriental flowers,
brought out of China and many other
sections of the Far East. To-day the
collection cannot be duplicated be-
cause of the federal governments ban
on plant importation.
The flowers are handsome blooms
resembling the rose. The plant is a
shrub with waxy dark green leaves.
They derived their name not from
Camille, as once supposed, but from
Kamellus or Camelli, Jesuit or Mo-
ravian monk, said to have been the
first to bring the plants from the East.
Camellias fiourished in some southern
gardens in America century or more
ago and few are said to be still
growing In the wild state in South
Carolina.
The Coe collection escaped destruc-
ton but suffered serious damage few
years ago when fire destroyed the
camellia house. All the plants then
had to be cut back to the stems. AT
last they have regsined their former
glory-their six weeks blooming sea-
son.
