Naugatuck, July 1.-Bonds of $6 each were forfeited in four cases of persons charged with gaming and frequenting a gambling place in bor- cugh court today. The four failed to appear after posting bonds of $10 which Judge Thomas R. Weary later ordered reduced to $5.
 These four were: Stanley Baker, 21, 48 Anderson street, Joseph Stan- wyk, of 84 Spring street, Richard Kelly, Jr., Woodbiae street, Anthony Souse 437 High street. Two who at first pleaded not guilty later changed their pleas and the cases were nolled on payment of $3 each These were Michae. Klonis of 24 Prospect street, and Albin zwolinski of 51 Prospect street.
 Captain Anthony Malone, who with Sergeant Anthony Farrar, Patrolmen Timothy Reardson, Walter Lysie- wicz, Beecher Woodside and John Hanley, made the raid yesterday morning on Prospect street, said the place used for gaming was outdoors and that the police approached on the group from three sides. Most oi the crowd ran but police had ob- served them for five or more min- utee. Testimony revealed Patrolman Lysiewicz grabbed zwolinski by the shirt but the shirt tore and the youth got away temporarily.
 The case of Stanley Wojack, oi TIA Spring street, also accused oi gaming and frequenting. was con- tinued until tomorrow.
 Cases of Felix Nardello of 49s South Main street, and Anthon, Tyburski of R. F.

 It is believed that a spark result ing firm metal being struck in re- pairing an automobile caused the explosion.
 Workers Relax
 For many of Torrington's workers today is the oficial beginning of g weeks vacation. Many factories of Torrington closed Saturday to allow time-off to their employees. Sat- urday was busy day with families packing to rid themselves of the city. Eiighlight of the day was the large number of couples taking ad- vantage of their vacation to marry and carry out an extensive honey moon. Starting from an early hour of the morning traffic was heavy until late in the afternon. With two weeks pay in their purses Torring- tons laborers were off to seashores, lakes, and other vacation resorts.

School Closing F, otested

That protests over the closing down of the Millville, Pond Hill and Beebe schools may be made here is indicated by a report today that residents of the Millville section are considering meeting to discuss the closing of the schcool in their sec l ton.
 The three schools and a special room were ordered closed by the board of education at 8 special meeting last Thursday. It is not yet known whether residents of Pond Hill will make any protest. A few years ago the board ordered the Pond Hill school closed, but after Q protest by a group of residents from that section, 1t was decided not to close it.
 If a public protest is made by one or more of these groups, 1t will be interesting to see the reaction of the board. It is thought probable the members will resist any pressure intended to have them change their present stand.
 The standardization plan has been discussed by the schcool board for years and 1t has been only c ques- ton of time in recent years as to when 1t will be put into effect. The enrolment in elementary schools has been decreasing steadily in the past few years and the three schools to be closed have comparatively small enrollmentS.
 The number enrolled at the spe- cial class has also been declining.
 The educators feel that the chil- dren can be easily handled in the schools to which they will be trai1ss ferred, and that their education will not suffer from any transfer.
 They also realize that the savings to be effected by such Q move Is considerable.
 To Relieve Congestion | Although congestion at the high school has been relieved somewhat in recent years. principally through the transfer of some students to the Futile house, the education board feels 1t Is necessary that fur- ther steps to relieve this must be ts.ken.
 | 1u0 SCHOOL DOaIu S 0SCAoOu " send 42 more freshmen to the Tut tie house next fall is another step to help this congestion relief, and It's plans, tentative at present, for using the two rooms In the music shed at the Futile grounds for manual training room, would mean that the present room at the high school, used for this purpose, could be converted into classroonns.
 Renovation at the Futile house second floor and the proposed i'm. provements at the music shed, will run into considerable expense. It is expected the savings to be accom- plished by the closing of the three schools and the special room, and also by expected transfer of teach- CTS to anticipated vacancies, will offset this experience.
 I so for this reason, 1t seems like ly the board will De quite reluctant l to alter it's stand on the school closing. Just where the money fol the recently-ordered expenses would be derived, other than the savings to be effected, is not known.
 It has been learned the board members inspected the Futile house and music shed, also soiae ug the schools to be closed, at . private ] meeting early last week. They met

Correspondent: John Carr Phone TorfingtOn 6445

Torrington, July Many inde- pendent store owners are objecting to the new order that may be pass ed to close their stores on Sum- days. This suggestion of closing came from several store owners However, a good many of the pro- prietors are objecting to this plan Some offer the suggestion of clos ing for a half-day while others ob- ject to closing at all. Objection in a more serious form may be ex- pected from the larger baking com panies who will naturally suffe, from such a schedule. Forthcoming events should prove interesting and the situation will bear watching.
 Another controversy is holding forth among the larger stores of the town as to the proposed closing fol a half day for the summer months The majority of the stores plan tc close on Wednesday afternoon, while the largest which will agree 10 closs only on Saturday afternoon has de. cided not to close at all and to givt time off to its employees on tht stagger system.

Machines for Compiling
Records of Salaries Not
to Be Used Says COnIOn

Two appropriations, totalling 92,-
577, set up in the 1910 city budget for
the purchase Of machines necessary
to compile records Of city employees
salaries for income tax purposes, win
not be used, Controller Thomas M.
Conlon, said today.
He said the saving was possible
because of @ plan worked out BY
Budget Director Thorvald 3. Olsen
whereby the machines viii not be
needed. one was to have been an
addressograph, the other q posting
machine.
City employees are now required To
pay income tax, though ruled ex-
empt In the past. The city must
supply the U. 8. government with
records Of the earnings Of some L.
800 city employees. The records for
1899 are now being compiled, and
must be submitted to the internal
revenue bureau by Feb. IS.
Instead Of using the machines
Mr.. Olsen arranged Q plan which
calls for each department head Ia
submit salary lists for his depart
ment. These are then assembled
and tabulated In the controllers
ONCE.
Each employe will be notified OF
the amount listed for him as salary
during the year, allowing him to
check with his own figures In com.
piling his income tax return.
