FAMILY 0f SIX
 LOSE THEIR HOME
Snowstorm Nearly Avsrts Action
 Of Sheriif in N. H.

Meredith, N. H.. Nov. 21 VA family of six was evicted from It's home today in nttls drama that was nearly postponed by . snow storm.
 The six Keysers, who lived in . 30O-acre farm here for many years. were elected by Sheriff Frederick D. Elliott in compliance with a court order. Sheriff Elliott had heard that the Keysers would object strenuously to the eviction. so he took IS armed deputies with him.
 Walt Good Weather
 When the sheriff and his aides ar- rived at the Keyser farm it was showing. Under the New Hampshire law, no person can be evicted in any but fair weather. The sheriff waited 5S minutes until the snow had ceased. He then went to the house and explained his mission.
 The keysers offered no objections and the sheriff and his deputies started removing furniture from the house and cattle. hay and other farm stock from the barn. The cattle were led to . barn reused by the sheriff for the emers ercy. All the other property of ths keysers. including the hay. was deposited in a lane be- side the house. Tie sheriff ex- rlained that he had . $2O.Oo0 bond protecting the properly pending the outcome of court action.
 Was LouaApOketl
 One of the Keysers. Arthur. who had been loudspoken in his threats to oppose eviction. was placed un- der arrest earlier in the morning while delivering n.jlk. The charge was trespa ssing, b''t two hours later. after the eviction Tad been fairly we'll under way, Arthur was released. He returned to the house but offered no opposition.
 The eviction order was~the out- growth of family dispute which arose when the five children of Ms. GeorEie Keyse: attempted to have the estate divided. A court decision finally ordered the property sold ard 1t was. at an auction. Charl,s Key Ser. administrator of his mothers estate. opposed tue sale. but the farm was sold to Henry R. Glow. Laconfa mill owner. When he sought to take possession of the farm. however. he found the K4y- sers unwilling 70 move with the re- suit that he obtained writ of rep1evin which Sheriff Elliott se,yei today.
 The outcome O. the case ia in doubt. In The meantime. the Key sers are without q home and their property stau.s in the lane beside the house.

GOVERNORS HEAR
 PROSPERITY PLAN

dently be accumulated in time of plenty against the lean year that is to come.
 This involves simply the provi- sion of the necessary funds or credit to be released when indexes shall indicate the need and such designa- ton of projects as may commend itself to the authority concerned"
 No Infringement
 Governor BreNste told the gover- nors that no infringement of legisla- tive prerogatives was contemplated because no project could be carried out except as the legislature might direct, although the rapidity of the construction program within de- fined limits could be accelerated or retarded to synchronize with na- tional and local needs.
 Creation Of such q construction reserve" he continued, lis one of the best forms of insurance against the panics of our past. It may not be 8 cure-all but certainly will alleviate our ills. In some measure 1t is pos sible to do for employment what the federal reserve system has done for finance and with equal advantage to the country as whole.
 Picture the approach of an eco- homie crisis with unemployment threatening on every hand. The re- lease of three billions in construc- ton contracts by public and quasi public authorities would remedy or ameiorate the situation in the twinkling of an eye.
 Federal indexes are already be- coming available that remove the problem from the domain of specu- lation or opinion and place the need upon a basis of simple facts.
 \ Remedy
 'No ccntralization Of authority is proposed. but merely the creation Of condition by concerted action that shall make possible a remedy that will appeal persuasively to all. Follow the flow of those three bil- lions to the contractor, to the la borer to the material men, to the factory, to the factory employees, to the merchants, to the farmer. It goes like the house that Jack built and unemployment is at an end."

COMMITTEE OBJECTS
 TO H. 5. ADDITION
(Continued from First Page)

school accommodations hereby sub- init the following report.
 After two months of careful in- vestigation and study, securing Of information from various sources and visiting the schools. your con- mittee is of the opinion, and has reached the conclusion that no ac- tion be taken at present towards the building of a new high school addl- ton: that the elementary school needs have immediate consideration and secondly that junior high school accommodations receive early atten- tion. and, we submit for your con- sjdera ton our reason for arriving ae this conclusion.
 Elementary Schools
 From the survey made or tne elementary schools, we ind there is immediate need for additional ac- commodations in certain districts as the increase among "this class of pupils is approximately 200 | year and some schools are taxed to Ca pacity and some overcro"ded.
 Junior High Schools
 "The two junior high schools at present have practically reacheo capacity which emphasizes the fact that further extension along thls line will be called f0r in the near future. It is the understanding or 1our committee that th> school board contemplates meeting this situation by converting the Roose- welt school into a junior high school and accommodating the present Roosevelt pupils by building an ad- dition at the Smith school. This. in the judgment of your committee is unwarrantcd because of the fact that the Roosevelt school is not pro- perly located for junior high school purposes. It is the opinion of your committee that the western section of the city needs junior high school facilities rather than the eastern section.
 Present High School
 Your committee after carefully examining the senior high school buildings finds them in need of gen- eral repairs and changes in ths lighting and plumbing systems Your committee cannot condemn too strongly the use of the basement for class purposes. Your commit- tee feels. however. that the present high school buildings, after certain changes are made, will be adequate to meet the city's needs for several years.
 Your committee would suggest that several rooms which were pointed out by Principa. Slade as being twice as large as are now re- quired for modern high school prac- tice. be divided. thus acquiring ad ditional rooms
 Your committee further submits comparative figures secured from the state board of education show ing the number of pupils per room in high schools in Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury. as follows.
 New Haven. sse2 pupils. class rooms IA, 39 pupils per room.
 Hartford. 1885 pupils, clae' rooms 166. 26 pupils per room.
 Waterbury. 2762 pupils, class rooms 105. e6 pupils per room.
 New Britain. 124o pupils. class rooms 6o. 20 pupils per room,
