velopments at the Republican eau
Gus tonight at 8 o'clock in the town
hall were current today but whet-
her or not they were based on fact
could not be ascertained.
The reports relate to possible
changes in the town committee set
up. At the meeting tonight a town
committee will be elected and dele
gates to the Republican state con-
vention in Hartford next month will
be chosen.
There was speculation about pos
sible discussion of the fire chief
situation at the caucus, following a
published report limiting at some
action on this.
Some Republican leaders were in
clined to discount this report, as it
was pointed out the call for the eau
Gus provides for appointment or a
town committee and selection of the
convention delegates. 1t does not
say that other business will be dis
cuSSed.
1t is possible that the fire chief
matter might be discussed but that
action committing the Republican
burgesses on it will result seems I'M
likely.
