 Ncwington, March 1S.-A zoning commission consisting of five mem- bcrs was elected at a town meeting held in the Junior high school last evening.
 Robert Middlemas. chairman of tho town plan commission, stated that at q recent town meeting a zon- ing commission was appointed by the board of sclcctmen and it was believed this board had the power to act, but upon the perusal of the statutes it was found that this com- mittec appointed could not act in a legal manner.
 It was then formally moved that the following persons be elected as members of the zoning commissions:
 Royal B. Doane for one year, Mrs. F. LcRoy Pond for two years, Charles Emmons for three years, J. William Holt for four years and Robert Middlemas for five years. This motion was carried.
 Nurses Duties Combined
 The next matter to be considered coming the duties of school nurse and visiting nurse.
 Harry Howard, chairman of the school committee, stated that he did not know until last Wednesday that this question was to be brought up. It did not seem right to Mir. Howard that definite action should be taken at this time, as the school commit tee had not had time to hold a meet ing to consider the matter.
 Miss Brinley, chairman of the pub lie health association then presented motion which was to the effect that the positions of school nurse and visiting nurse be combined. This brought considerable discussion and the motion was finally amended to read that the town of NeWinGton employ but one nurse for the year commencing September 1, 1880, and that she should take over the work hitherto performed by the school nurse and in the performance of said school work, said nurse should be under the supervision of the school board.
 Discussion was then brought up as to when the contract for the school nurse expired and at what time of the year the new contracts were drawn up. Mr. Howard stated that the contract expired September 1 and new ones drawn up in April at the same time that the teachers contracts were made out.
 "Expccted' to Follow Up The question was also asked If she did any follow-up work in the summer months. The reply was that she was expected to.
 Selectman Gilbert was then asked to express his views upon the sub jeCt. He stated that he had found upon investiga ton that small towns best interest was to have one nurse. Some towns, he found, had considerable friction where two nurses were employed, each feeling that the other was ovcr-stepping her duty, and in his opinion it was best that both positions be combined. The motion was then carried. Nr. Gilbert moved that the school board and the nursing association | appoint a board of three members each to confer and outline the work to obtain the best results. This mo- tion was also carried.
 Fire Dept. Praised Mir. Howard at this time arose and said the town was 10 be Congratulat- cd upon the efficiency of it's volun- tecr fire department. He considered | that it was moro remarkable in the ! face Of the difficulties which the de- | partment had to encounter in the | matter of obtaining water. as was l the case at the fire on the property of Mrs C. C. Rowley, where the fire men, after considerable difficulty, managed to save the milk room. Ncwington Notes | Pupils of Miss Florence Grccn- lands dancing class will hold a re- cltal in Grange hall tomorrow night.
 Mrs. F. A. Elliott is resting com fortably at tho Hartford hospital where she is confined with an in- fectcd hand.
 The discussion group will meet on Thursday night at 7:45 o'clock in the parish house. The topic will be ''CrcatinG Public Opinion.'
