Before the map tor was finally thrashed out. nearly' everyone present, 150, took part and argued pro orcoo on the subject. The vote was in favor of rte-establishing the school. 74 to 35.1 Those who favored the 'school raised 1, the point that it was the sentiment of the town that it should be opened again and unit to close it would inflict a hardship on the people of that dis- trict. The School Board which was up posed. claimed that it was not needed, that ancient instruction iii to be had in the other schools.

Hass, of 15 Eliza- beth street, this city. Mr. lines this morning identified the articles found in the clothes of the man and his hat and cost, as those. of his friend. Mr, Quak was a native of Germany~ and lived for some time in Canada. From Canada he went to Philadelphia. where he engaged in the batting busi- ness. and from that city came to South Norwaik about the 1st of June, this year, at which time he secured a posi- tion with the Crofut &: Knapp Hat Company. Mr. Quak. who has been married twice, has a widow living in Toronto, Canada, and a daughter in Germany. Mr. Quak had the greater part of his money tied up in German securities, ' and when" war was declared, their val- . us became almost nothing. The dead man also owned land in Canada, and he has land in Norwalk. which has been valued as worth about $900. Mr. Haas saw the dead man last on September 10th, a few days before '1 which date, he said he would rather be dead than living as he was. Mr. Quak had considerable Jewelry in his possession. and it was reported that this could not be located, which was denied by police headquarters, who have it in charge Mr. Haas has a financial interest in some property owned by Quak, and a few days before his death, Quirk want-— ed to draw up papers showing this fact, but the matter was put off. Be- fore his death Mr. Quak was very Ade- spondent over his financial difficulties. The identification of the dead man was reported to Detective-Sergeant this morning, who notified Chief of Police William R. Penningtdn. Ofl‘icer Frank S. Strata ton was .detailed to investigate 1 case, and he avisited the home of Thom- as Hose and Adam Stenger’s boarding house, on South Main street. where the dead man had boarded“ A letter was found at the South Nor- walk post office, from Clark, McPher- ‘son & Jarvn, 1513 Yonge street,=.'l‘oran- to. Canada. it contained information which will enable the medical cumin or to get 1515 communication with his wife and family. ‘ . , pristfon of $6,400 was appropriated for the maintenance of the school. About 32,300. was appropriated for the care of roads other than the state one, and 8600, the town‘s share of 25 per cent., was voted for‘repair of the state'road. The proposed bill creating a board of apportionment slid through without any pertinent opposition. The -- only question which was of importance to be raised has whether the members of the board should be appointed or elected, ' After considerable argument the meeting declared its opinion by yoting that the board members should be appointed. It was the sense of the meeting that the bill which will be modelled after the one which Ridge field has. - Because of the lengthy debate over the school question it was found that time was not left in which to com- plete other business and adjournment to the first Monday in April. at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, was voted.
