eminent for Junior high school
and gymnasium began here at 1890
this morning. daylight time. The
balloting is taking place In the bor-
ough court room and will continue
until Q p. m daylight time.
A concentrated and strenuous
campaign for the Junior high school
has been held since the start oS
this week and the question remains
as to whether 1t secured enough adj
vocates to overcome the normal at
titude Of taxpayer who Is asked TO
vote a considerable expenditure,
which might mean increased taxes,
1t was expected In view OF the
interest aroused the vote would be
larger than is ordinarily given on a
question. Usually the vote on u
question brings out very small
proportion Of the voters.
Virtually all agree that the local
high school Is much overcrowded.
but the disagreement occurs on the
question OF whether or not, less
costly means than junior high
school might tide the town over UNI
I'll enrolment decreases.
The board OF education which has
control Of school department affairs
Is not the agreement on the need
for a junior high school, the three
Republicans favoring II and the
three Democrats opposing IT, Con-
flicting statements In the past week
have created much confusion In the
minds OF many who sincerely want
to know just what would be best
for the town. =
Supporters OF the junior high
school insist that there will be no
decrease In enrolment here In the
high school for at least six years
and probably 10. Opponents OF the
school declare that 1910 will be
the peak of enrolment and after
that II will start TO decline.
The plans supporters also main
tain there will be no need OF a tax
increase, baslng this claim on the
supposition that the grand list OH
which taxes are based will continue
TO grow In future years and that
this increase will take care OF the
loan and principal.

SOUTH IS GIVEN

Washington, Sept. 10 - Cup)-
Thirteen southern states received
more than one-half OF the new re-
lief Jobs created by the works pro-
gress administration during the six
weeks that ended Sept. with q
record enrolment Of S,os5.0oo.
The sejt. figure OF S,Os5,0oO FOR

which the south accounted for $500
and an increase OF $4,000 in six
weeks.

seem to have the strongest argu-
ment In this respect. The statement
yesterday by a disinterested official,
DR.. Walter Baker, health officer,
that the state can force and prob
ably will make Naugatuck erect O
sewage disposal plant here In the
very near future" at O probable
$4,000 cost with maintenance
ranging from $4,000 TO $4,000 an
nually carried considerable weight
Wednesday night, Burgess Joseph
Raytkwich, Jr., had said that GER
tainly a tax increase would result
II both the sewage disposal plant
and Junior high school were erected
here.
The strong likelihood OF at least
q $4,000 deficit at the end OF the
present fiscal year, possibly q $4,000
one, due mainly 10 the unusually
heavy burden on the welfare de-
partment thus far this year, also
means that some Of increased In
come from the grand list might be
necessary for higher general town
expenses next year.

Maintenance Angie

Advocates OF the junior high have
contended the new school would not
mean much Of an increase In the
school departments costs here, II
any. But Supt. II. u. Chittenden
has said that probably three new
teachers would be necessary with
such a new 20-room school. Some
inconsistency Is seen In the fact
that the new school supporters
classify some OF the present school
buildings as obsolete and nearly
fire. traps yet they contend the sale
Of such buildings would help TO OFF,
set considerably increased malnten-
ance costs. Opponents OF the plan
believe the town would be FORUM
ate II II could sell three schools
that might be closed and would
not get much from such SALE
Many residents believe new
school will have 10 DO built or addi-
tional facilities provided. within five
years and the vote today Is ex-
pected TO demonstrate whether or
not residents think the erection OF
such a school Is the best step. as
government help amounting TO $780,
600 OF the fetal 100000 cost can
be secured now Some contend the
PWA will be In existence next year
also but this Is only q belief.
Warden John J. Sheridan has not
taken q stand on the matter except
TO point out that a Junior high
6chool and a sewage disposal plant
would mean increased taxes for the
