Statewide Campaign to Obtain More Aid for Edu.
 cation Opens

Superintendent of Schools Thom- as J. Condon was in attendance at a luncheon given by Mayor Thomas J. 6pellacy of Hartford at the Hotel Bond in that city this noon, to wh,ch the mayors of all cities in the state, selcctmen from all parts of the state and superintendent of school were invited. It was expected that Mayor Frank Hayes would also put in an appearance at the lunch- con.
 The purpose of the session today was to launch the statewide cam paign to obtain from the General Assembly more state aid for educa- tion in local communities. In the letter of invitation 1t was pointed out by the Hartford mayor that while the state pays nine per cent of the cost of education in cities and towns, the amount is not suf- ficient and results in an increased burden on local taxpayers.
 Dr. Condon, in recent statement s.id that he and the members of tho local board Of education, as weil as city officials here, were in favor of getting an increased appro- l,riation from the state to lessen the burden in towns and cities.
 Mayor Spellacy, speaking of the luncheon meeting, said that the Setision har been planned in order 10 give the men chance to dis cuss the subject and work out some feasible plan.
