HARTFORD, Feb. 20.-——At a public
hearing before the committee on Sen
ate appointments yesterday concern
ing the nominations for trustees of
the, Connecticut school for Boys.
Francis Atwater of bicrldcn called
the attention of the committee to a
story that the men named for true
tees for Senator Noebe or Meriden
had promised, if they are elected, to
make the senator superintendent of
the ’school. a job which pays about
33.700 11 year. There was a lively do
hate throughout the hearing by up
posing Meriden factions concerning
the nominations of the Mormon repro-
contstlves on the board or trustees.
Senator Neebe spoke 'in favor of C.
0. Miller, W. ll. 'Delsndcrnler. w. it‘.

opposed as they are intended to sue-
ceed the present trusts" from New
London and Fnlrflcld counties.
When the names of Francis Atwo-
tor. John “whittled and George hits
cuter of Meridian were called at can-
didntes for appointment Mr. Atwstcr

The East Norwich; improvement As-
sociation wished it understood that it is
not discouraged because of the turn-
‘ lug down of the Community Hall pron
osition at the district meeting on Feb:
' ruary 14. All things considered, it was
what might haVe been anticipated.
The action taken has deler’ed. tempor-
arily, at least the plan the semiotics
had in mind, but it has by no means
been abandoned.
It is still regarded as a possibility——
a remote one, «perhaps, but still a porn
sibility.
If our enthusiasm appeared out of
proportion to our sense of the respon-
sibility involved in such an undertak-
ing, that is a matter that will adjust
itself later. when we shall have had
time to consider the question further
in the way of better organized effort
towards the accomplishment of our
purpOse.

question of a public building, such as
we had in contemplation.is a debate-

it was largely on behalf of these
young people that we appealed to pun-
llc sentiment for support in the work
of encouraging. and stimulating, as far
as possible, the spirit which makes for
moral and social uplift. We have test-
ed the public pulse and do not tind it
altogether responsive to that appeal.
We are still hopeful, however, of a
satisfactory solution of the problem
