BUDGET HEARINGS
 BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Parks, Streets and Health Dept. Programs Under Consideration

Prospects of park on the Wash ington school grounds, 8 municipal Iincinerator and extensive street i'm. members of the board of finance and taxation last night made significant notations on their budget charts during the final hearings.
 Chairman William F. Brooks of the park board outlined the plan for a new park on the school plot and then declared: T think this is an unreasonable expenditure for what you will get out of it." Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation de- clared in favor of playground ac- commodations for the Washington school district and was inclined to give the proposal further study. One of the largest items of new work for the parks is that of $7.- S60 to rebuild the drive from West Main street to the G. A. R. triangle; $7,S60 to rebuild from the triangle to Lexington street. and $S.200 from Lexington street to Vine street. The income from the Erwin fund will be $3.sS5. For new work in Walnut Hill park, $3.000 is asked and for maintenance, $1S.425 will be needed On Willow Brook park 1t is pro- posed to spend $13.920. on Stanley Quarter park. $11.100 and on small parks s2,S2o. The complete budget is $124,672.
 Judge William F. Mansan and Park Commissioner Paul K. Rogers came before the board in the inter- ests of an appropriation of $7.215 to complete purchase of bleachers in Willow Brook park. The bleachers are now held by the New Britain Athletic association and part of the cost was met last year.
 When the bleachers were pur- chased for Willow Brook park 1t was with the understanding that the board of finance and taxation would make the purchase this year.
 The health departments proposal that t125.000 be expended for erec- ton of an incinerator received scant consideration, no comment being made. but several members of the board scratched industriously with their pencils. ....-. Board members were inclined to more favorably regard the proposal that t25,000 be appropriated for re- opening the isolation hospital. Dr.
 R. w. Pullen, superintendent of health, emphasized the need for the
 hospital and urged that the appro-

REMINGTON CENTER
 HAS NEW CHAIRMAN
Voters Fail to Re-elect Erwin
 Head of Fire District

Newington, Feb. S.-DissatisfIed residents of the Center fire district were present at the annual meeting of the district held last evening in the town hall and Richard H. Err win, chairman since the organization of the department, was busted as chairman and a commissioner. Rob- ert H. Bray and Charles B. Russell were elected new commissioners to fill expired terms and MT. Bray was elected chairman.
 MT. Erwin announced yesterday that there would be no business transacted at the meeting because the audit being prepared by ac- countants. was not complete. The meeting was to have been adjorned immediately to next week. A motion to that effect was made but there were objections. and it did not pass.
 On the first ballot for chairman, there was no choice but on the sec ond, Mir. Bray received 56 votes to 45 for Mir. Erwin. At this time dis pute arose as to the right of five men to vote because they had not been

made voters of the town. They con- tended that they had the right and the meeting supported them.
 F.. Welles Eddy was reelected . commissioner on the second ballot. Mir. Russell received 46 votes to A for MT. Erwin as another commits sioner. Harold c. Lucas was re- elected clerk by IS votes. Gran Park CT received 40. ....
 In contest for the position of treasurer and collector, E. A. Elliott was reelected by one vote against Leslie N. Hale.
 A vote was passed to lay tax rate at the next meeting of the district. A vote of thanks was also adopted for those serving as commissioners. The meeting was adjourned one week.
 The loss by MT. Erwin Of the posi- ton of chairman and also his status as a commissioner was complete surprise. MT. Erwin was the princi- pal organizer of the district when 1t was first formed about four years ago. He was elected chairman at that time and has held that position since then.

ion of the essential architectural dement's of gigantic sun-dial which marked the time of the eQui- uoxes and solstices. 8 mighty monu- lnent to the ancient Mayan civiliza- ion in Central America, has been completed by archaeologists of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
 The work has been in progress three years under the direction of Dr., Sylvanus c. Morley. whose ac- count of the third field season, re- crntly completed. discloses progress n the effort to recapture the lost knowledge of highly civilized peo- pie who were thriving in this hem sphere when Christ was born.
 Centering their activities at the Old Empire city of Uaxactum, in the northern part of the depart ment of Peten, Guatemala. and at the New Empire city of Chichen Itza, in northwestern Yucatan. Mex ico, Dr. Morley and his associates not only have completed excavation of the huge sun-dial at the former place but have finished work on tho magnificent Temple of the War riors at the latter.
 Oldest Mayan City
 Uaxactun is the oldest Mayan city yet discovered, its dated heirogly- phic monuments esta tablishing that it vas inhabited as early as 6S A. D. and as late as $50 A. D. Chichen Itza was the capital" of the Mayas during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It's monuments date from 53l to 144S A. D. They include. In addition to the Temple of the War riors and other evidence of advanced architectural and artistic develop lusnt an astronomical observatory which does not differ greatly in de- sign from those now in use.
 The huge sun-dial at Uaxactun, hy means of which the Maya priests were able to regulate the agricul- tural activities of the people by de- termining the seasonal changes, was constructed in the principal plaza or court of a section of the city which the investigators have designated droup E. Three temples, identified as F. I, E II and Ell. and a pyra- mid, E VII. were principal elements of this remarkable architectural calendar.
 Observation Places
 s''1t would appear" says Dr. Nor ley, that the ancient Maya priests Used the stairway ascending Pyra- mid E VII as a point of observa- ton for sunrises. and that Temples Ef, E II and E III were 50 located with reference to Pyramid E VII that the sun rose behind the north- ern front corner of Temple E I. as
