mated there were 224 private ele-
mentary schools enrolling 62,685 stu

tain today.
Called together by Mayor Thomas
J. Spellacy, the statewide group
nominated representatives from
whom a committee will be chosen
to present demands to the legisla-
ture.
This action came after the Of
ficials and educators heard Gov.
Wilbur L. Cross favor of direct
grants from the state to cities and
towns for education, instead of
levying additional taxes for the
schools.
Mayor Spellacy outlined a two
hold program for the group to pre-
sent to the assembly. 1t called
for passage Of an equalization bill

evolve some plan of united action
that will furnish the children Of
of Connecticut an adequate and
complete education, and which at
the same time will relieve the
property owners Of the undue bur-
den of taxes which the cost Of
taxes places on their shoulderS"
