BRANFORD (. O.P.
 OPPOSE PURGE
Resolution Aimed at Lead= CTS Meets With Defeat
 on Vote
Special to The DemOcrat)


 East Haven, July 12 - Attempt of the Branford Young Republicans to "purge" the party of those members named in various grand jury reports at Bridgeport and Waterbury failed here last night when only dozen of about 250 members of the New Haven County Young Republicans voted for such a resolution.
 The move apparently was aimed at Clarence G. Willard, secretary of the state central committee, who was censured by the Merritt Park way grand jury for having received $3,70O for This friendly services" in assisting in land transaction at Greenwich. Others who would have been affected by such a resolution are Major John Buckley of Union, Harry Mackenzie of Bethel, and Charles Williamson of Darien, all named in the Waterbury grand jury report, the latter two under ar- rest at present on conspiracy charges.
 Several attempts have been made by units of the Young Republicans to purge" the party of the "Old Guard" members on the basis of their being involved in the grand jury proceedings. The Branford pro- posal included the following: "Whereas the Branford Young Re- publican Club in common with other Young Republican groups be- ieve it essential that those cen- sured in the grand jury scandals should be immediately eliminated from their party resolved we obtain true expression of the sentiment in regard to said elimin- ation ."
 Fewer than per cent of the Young Republicans voted for the resolution.

TO THE TAXPAYERS OF
GARRETT COUNTY

It will be noted in the levy for 1888
we have included an item of 100000
for oiling and screening farm tomar-
ket roads. In order to avoid any mis-
understanding about this item we
feel it proper to publish a statement
explaining the reason for the inclu-
sion of the same.
Due to certain Acts of the 1887
General Assembly, the amount this
county will receive from the cent and
a half lateral road gasoline tax is
very materially curtailed. Last year
the county was credited by the State
Roads Commission with approximate
ly $118,000.00 out of this fund to be
used for lateral road maintenance and
for new construction. This year it is
estimated that the county's share of
this fund will not be more than $685.,
10000, or a reduction of some $780,
10000. There are many miles of road
that have been rocked, but are getting
in a bad state of repair because they
have not been properly surfaced. We
believe it to be poor economy to allow
these roads to get into a further
state of bad repair, and as it is appar-
ent that there will not be sufficient
funds to properly maintain the coun-
ty roads and oil and surface the roads
referred to, we think it advisable
to levy this amount. This work will be
done by the State Roads Commission,
subject to the direction and control of
the Board of County Commissioners.
One other unusual item in the levy
is the amount set aside for capital out
lay for schools. Delegations have fire.
quently appeared before the Board
citing the urgent need for repairs or
additions or the construction Of new
buildings at Kitzmiller, Bloomington,
Accident and Oakland. We have given
very careful consideration to these re-
quests and have investigated the need
as represented to us by the delega-
tions. The Board of Education in its
budget submitted to us in accordance
with provisions of the law asked for
approximately $180,000.00 for capital
outlay.
Obviously, we could not meet this
request without practically doubling
the tax rate We did not feel that the
taxpayers of the county could bear
this additional burden. Consequently,
we included in our levy such an
amount as we felt that could be in
Guided without unduly burdening the
taxpayer at this time. We were able
to levy the sum of $40,000.00 for this
purpose and it is hoped that during
the year we may be able to get this
fund matched by Federal funds, in
which event we would have very
substantial amount to expend to re-
ieve the present conditions existing
in the various places mentioned.
