Murelli weighed in at 134h while Barnes tipped the scales at two pounds heavier.
 In the semi-fnal Jimmy Scott, colored, Of Bridgeport threw about a thousand gloves in the face of Al Matera of Bristol to win the decis- ion. Matera was on the receiving end during the entire six rounds and only the fact that Scott's punches carried no steam saved him from knockout. Matera weighed l3G: Scott 13S.
 The best bout of the evening was between Mike Toronto of Bridgeport and Billy Reeves of Bristol, the iat- ter being given a questionable de- cision by Referee Bill Conway of Hartford. The spectators voiced their displeasure by booing the Ser- dict for several minutes after the bout had ended. Conway's scores card gave Reeves a total of 20 points and Toronto 19 points for the four rounds. Toronto weighed 1Gl15 lbs. and Reeves 159.

Finance Board Again Postpones
 Decision for a Week
SPECIAL COURT SESSION
Drunken Driver and Liquor Seller
 Are Fined, Two Drivers Discharx-
 cd - Bees Disturb KensfngtOn- Speclal Church Meeting.

Unable to agree on the request of the school board that the sum Of 375,000 be appropriated for an ad- dition to the Kensington Grammar school and the installation of sew age disposal system in both the old building and the proposed addition. the finance board adjourned its meeting last night for another week. This was the third meeting of the board since the proposition was submitted to the finance board.
 The matter is one that requires careful consideration on the part Of the board. the members feel, as the expenditure of that amount of money on the part of the town is an important step. First the board must pass on the proposal of the rchool board and then the matter will be voted on by the voters of the town.
 The latest proposal of the school board is for an addition~to be built at the Kensington Grammar school at cost of $65,000. This will be an eight-room addition with a gym .Easium and two shower rooms. There will be offices for the prin- cipal and the visiting nurse in the new building.
 The majority of voters seem to favor this proposition. as was shown at the last town meeting. The orig tnal plan was to have a school built at a cost of $125.000 on the property voted purchased at a town meeting about a year ago. This motion was overwhelmingly defeated at that meeting.
 Drunken Driver Fined
 At special session of the court last night. Carol J. Cooke of Mer- iden was fined $1OO and costs on a charge of driving while drunk. His case had been continued from April in order that he might finish out his year at Colby college in Maine. He was arrested following crash with a New England bus the first part of April. Constable Frank Brown made the arrest.
 Fined After Raid
 Mrs. Teresa Bronzi of kensington was fined $50 and costs on charge of selling liquor. Her house was raided last Sunday by Constables Frank Brown and Orville Ventres. At that time three gallons of liquor were found to be on sale. In court she pleaded guilty and asked for \leniency.
 Two Drivers Discharged Arrested last Tuesday night at the underpass in Kensington. James F. Darlington of Meriden and Elmer Wonelly of New Jersey were dis charged when it was brought out that both men were at fault.
 Their cars co]lided when Dennelly attempted to turn out from the de- l rot, where he had bid bride and bridegroom goodbye.
 Bees In kensingtOn A swarm of bees settled in a tree near the home of Charles Ronketty of Kensington last night and made things in that part of Kensington hum for a while. They were re- garded as q nuisance and Arthur Umin. bee expert of New Britain. was called to solve the problem. He climbed the tree and put the queen bee In . box. The rest of the
