The board or euucaIOn dI y0S terdays monthly meeting refused to sanction the buildings at Recre- atiou field being used to store the high explosives to be used in max. ing the fireworks for Our Lady of Mt .CarmeIs celebration next Sat. urday night. The board IS not against the display and allowing the field to be used, but IS Tn nay ing the explosives stored In the buildings.
 Supt Chittenden said that in former years, the society simply took possession against orders or Peter J. Foley who has charge or the field. He said that storing the explosives in the buildings was dangerous, that if there was an explosion. the insurance carried would be void and the borough would be the loser. He also LOOK into consideration that there are many children who used the field daily and they should be protect ed. The opinion of the board was sought. and a vote was passed, re- fusing the society to use the build ings. It was suggested that the explosives be stored in tent un- til the fireworks were assembled.
 There is still bright hopes thai afternoon sessions will be avoided for the coming year in the high school. Supt Chittenden told the board that Principal Charles F. Slade was drafting an attendance schedule which may avoid the ex- tra sessions. Only the arrival or many families to the borough who have children of high school age, will afternoon sessions be necessary the board was told. It is estimated by Principal Slade that the att tendance at high school the com- ing year will be S64. He has d1vid- cd this number as follows: Seniors 119, juniors 179, sophomores 256 and freshmen BIO. There is a pos sibiIity that some students will not return in fall and even some Of those expec cted from the grammar schools may not register, it was said. Every possible effort to avoid the extra sessions will be made in the interest of economy. Addition al teachers would have to be en- gagged. 4
 It has cost $6S,19S.76 to operate the schools during the first four months of the fiscal year. accord ing to the financial report of Supt Chittenden. His figures coincide with those of Borough Clerk Ed- ward c. Lingenhe1d presented to the borough board Tuesday night: Supt Chittenden reported that all bills contracted before June 30 had been paid. .,,
 The local bill for this year will amount to $7,000 and not any more, Supt Chittenden explained, in relating about the various items. He stated that every. coal bin in the schools were filled and no additional sup1ly would be nec- essary during the winter.
 Text books that have been dam aged, are to be fixed up by a bind CT at a considerable saving, Supt Chittenden said upon inquiry by Judge Martin E. Gormley. Not many new books will have to be purchased unless however, there is a larger increase in attendance than anticipated.
 More money will have to be provided for transporting children fo and from school. The budget of S1 200 will not be of sufficient pro- portions, Supt Chittenden told the board. However. this matter will be considered Fat a later date. The board voted to pay the transpor- tation bill of young man who at- tends the Meriden state trade school. The bill amounts to $loO and the state will pay one half.
 While objection was made to young men using the Central ave- nue fairgrounds after they are closed afternoons at 5 o'clock, members of the board were not in favor of turning them away. So Il was voted to have the grounds re- main open until o'clock nights After that hour, the gates will bt closed and those caught on tht premises will be liable to arrest Chief of Police John , Adamsor will be asked to cooperate in see. ing to 1t that tho grounds art cleared after that hour.
