This was made possible by the important action taken last night at the meeting of the committee on reorinnisatton with tile general committee of twenty. five. held at the Hotel Clifford. when the propoaed plan was submitted and unanimously agreed upon. General Russell Frost was chairman of the meeting. and said that the com- mittee felt rewarded for its work by the deep interest that was manifest- ed at the gathering. and previously by the unselfish devotion of all who had . the matter in charge. He said many pleasant. asatrciations had been form- ed at the various meetings as the work I of reorganization progressed. and all felt better toward one another for the sessions held. He detailed the var- ious meetings of the committee and what had been accomplished. and stat. ed that the various sub-committees had I provided reports which were to be at 1 ed on. One of the Important features ‘ in connection with the rc-orgauisstioni scheme was the providing of a board‘ of directors. and an advisory commit-I tee of fifty prominent business men and citizens. After these had been named it. was proposed to prepare a financial plan to present to the. people who are interested. or who may be- come interested in the movement. to make the acceptance of the same and final action of the board of directors and advisory board conditional on the carrying out of the financial scheme. General Frost then stated that ihc various subcommittees would make their reports. the first one being that of constitutional control. which would be read by Fix-Mayor Richard H- (told- ed. This was as follows: Your sub-copyplttee on Constitution- al Control b . are”) submit the fol- lowing report: " First: They nmomtueud that a spec,- lal meetingof the Association be duly called nt-avpropes.‘ dflpollvenient time o a for the par 9 optlti'g a new con- atittitlon ii! try-laws. and}? electing new officers.

GOLDEN, THOMAS l. RAYMOND. RUSSELL FROST. Sub-Committee. The next report. on Association Work and Workers. was read by Thom- as i. Raymond. and was as follows: Your Committee begs to report: First. That a prosperous future can- not he counted upon unless we profit. by the experience of prominent and successful leaders and associations. These agree in indicating the necessity of a high standard in sevcnl depart- mums of work with and by our young men, namely: First-The Religious. Second—Tho Educational. Third—The Physical. Ft urth—The Social. Your committee unreservedly ac- cepts this conclusion and suggests that in runanning the association the ques- tion of paid workers. shall not be al- lowed to turn on amount of salary re. arrived. but. entirely on their fitness for most effective Work along all the lines mentioned. Your committee does ,not deem it called for at this time to present a de- tailed scheduie of activities. but it ex- presses a confident judgment that a successful future policy must prova. f-‘Ii-st. Religious by means of non- denominationals. discreet and well adapted efforts for the development of manly Christian chat‘acicr; with set purpose to make the IBROCIBHOD work in this department in the end distinctly tributary to the growth of our several churches, and. Second. it must provide such clas- ses for the instruction of yotlng men as will most help them to fight suc- cessfully the battle of life_ and edu- cate them for intelligent citlsenship. Third. it must furnish adequate and attractive facilities for physical cui- ttire under scientific direction, thus making the enthusiasm of young men for athletics. an open doorway to high- er development. Fourth. Such social privileges should be provided as will be especial- ly helpful to the young man without a home. and aid with all in the develop- ment of kindly and courteous purposes and manners. . Your committee deems all these few lint-es essential to the best Association ’work. tuid equally necessary in furnish- ing the ground upon which a success- fttl appeal may be made to our citisens for adequate financial support. All of which is respectfully submit- ted. THOS. i. RAYMOND. FRANK A. FERRIS. FRANK I). LAYTON. Sub Committee. At this point the. question of discus sing each reptm separately was brought. up.

The officers afterward found that the Corning had a hole In her bot- tom. and she was filling rapidly.

Reminded Another Norwaik lown Meeting Declines to Accept Commissioner MacDonald's Plan for Grading and Widening Westth Avenue A special meeting of the Town of Norwsik. held last night. ratified the action of the last special town meet- ing. which rescinded the vote of a pre- vious town meeting. which had voted to adopt the plans of Highway Com- missioner James il. MacDonald. to im- prove Westport avenue. and in addi- tion had made an appropriation of $9.- 000. with which to do the work. last night‘s meeting was held upon the advice of Team Counsel Levi War- ner. to make sure that the rescinding was done ill an entirely legal manner. A motion introduced by Charles E. Church. rescinding the votes of the town meetings as referred to, which voted to do the Westport avenue work. prevailed. About all of the life of the meeting was furnished by cit-Selectman Frank H. Merrill. who objected strenuously to rescinding the votes. as the town would then lose all of the state appro- priation. and other towns would get Norwsik's money, but notwithstanding Nerwalk would be forced to furnish its share of this money with its regular state tax. Mr. Church pointed out that in his opinion It would be much better to lose the state money than to accept it under the conditions Imposed by Mr. MacDonald. which was the only way it could be secured. The meeting was called to order about 7:45. having been called for 7:30, by Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith. in- cluding the town clerk.‘the selectmen. and two newrtpaper reporters. there were thirteen persons In the ball, but later the grand total was swelled to eighteen men. Mr. Merrill and Charles N. Wood. in turn. were chosen as chairman of the meeting. but declined the honor. Oscar W. Raymond finally agreed to act in this capacity. Mr. Church's motion was then made. and Mr. Merrill replied in vigorous style. He stated that the state appro printed so much money each year. and if the town will spend [0.1100 for two years‘ appropriation, it will receive from the state two thirds of this amount. if ...c met-ting voted to re- scind the votes referred to. the town would lose all of this money. The town. he said. had used four different appropriations. and he spoke of the work done on the turnpike. Formerly the ststc paid one-half and now two- ihirds, His idea was to let the vote suud as at present. and do the work as the town pltwl, Mr. (‘h'trt-h desired to call Mr. Mer- rill‘s attention to the fact that accord- ;Ing to the present layout. the town [wtnrld be paying two-thirds and the state one-third. The town would have to more the trolley tracks. the state ; going no farther iii the work than the glitters. Mr. Church wuntorl to see the trolley company pay its share. as they would be benetlttetl its much its the town. We would soon are what was 'Wllil' in Westport. where the town was 'going ahead and Improving its \road- way. Irtcstwctive of the trolley tracks. Mr. Merrill then reiterated his be- lief that it would be well to let the matter stand a.» at present. to which Mr. Church rcpliai that if the vote should stand. the commissioner can now go ahead and have the work done and charge it to the town. Mr. Mer- rill replied that hls interest lay only in that he wanted to see the town get ev- erything possible. ilc believer! that If the vote was not rescinded the town would still have the state appropria- tion mming to it. Selectman Lynes In. formed him that if ".800 was not spent before April fat. the appropriation would revert to the state. Mr. Merrill thought the mailer up to the highway commissioner. Mr. Lynch said this was true. and It had been up to him several times. Attorney John J. Walsh salted why the meeting had been called. Wasn't It called upon the advice of the town counsel? Here was a call that tells us just what was to be done. “Do the people want It 2" he asked. "if they do they have a peculiar way in signifying it. It strikes me we had better wipe the whole business out until they want it. They have stood the road for one hundred years. and perhaps can stand it for a hundred years more." Mr. Church said that a better grade than the commissioner‘s could be had for less money. . The trolley company being fenced in along its line on the highway in the town of Westport was brought up.

Shortly after the fire was lighted- thcre was a terrific explosion. and the girl was knocked In the head by a piece of flying metal. while several windows In the house were shattered.
