NEW HAVEN. Sept. 29.—A motion T
proceedings
against. the Mitfcrd School Board,
over management of the schools in
that town. was denied by Judge Ern-
est C.‘-Simpson in Common Pleas
Court today. At the same time. the
court. allowed a motion to quash in
proceedings against the town of Mil—
ford. The nobrt decided that as a
town was without authority regarding
the conduct of its schools. mandamus
should not" issue against it.
The action was brought by F. L.
Wilder. of Bridgeport. for Hattie E.
Burr. mother of Kenneth Burr, who
is alleged to have been refused admis-
sion to a school because he had not
been vaccinated. Judge 0. W“: Platt
appeared for both the town and the
school board. In the motion to qua-sh
Judge Flatt said that in this state. the
sending of a. child to school was a.
privilege and not a right, and that a.
school board had authority to refuse
admission at its discretion. The ac-
tion of the. Board in this instance. Mr.
Platt said. was for the benefit of the
health of the community and itcimply
used its discretionary powers in en—
forcing an order that was not directed
at any individual pupil. ',but at all
whose parents refuse. to allow their
children to be vaccinated.
Mr. Wilder asked for a. continuance
as he wished to file a demurrer. Next
Friday at noon was set as the time for
the hearing.

attended the meeting of the Retail
Coal Dealers. at the State Capitol.
Hartford. yesterday” called by the State
fuel commissioner, Thomas W. Rus-
sell. Mr. Russell was the fuel com-
missioner during the war years of
1917-1918. and is thoroughly familiar
with every phase of the coal business.
He stated that the situation is at.
least. if not more, serious than dur-
ing the war years, and can be met
only by the co—operation of the public
in Consenting to the use of the small
sizes and soft coal. Connecticut will
receive this season not to exceed 60%
or the tonnage of the previous year.
He therefore emphatically urges that
the dealer with every delivery shall in—
sist that: the customer accept. at least
50% of the amount in buckwheat or
soft coal. . While we do not wish to
force the} customer to comply’with the
sugge" stion. we do wish to state that: if
he does not he mustqexpect to suffer
the consequences of the shortage, for
in no case' can he expect to receive
mom" newness rs

more than 60% of the amount receiv-
ed by him the previous year. There
is no special. hardship entailed in the
use of this size. If a, fire is first. made
with a large size and buckwheat add-
ed fromitime to time. as necessary,la.
satisfactory fire can be maintained at.
all Atimes. This size is plentiful. is
considerably cheaper. and will be kept
in stock 'by the dealer if the public will
consent to the use of it. Soft coul can
now be had in prepared sizes. with lit-
tle or no dust, and will be also stocked
by the dealer should the public ac-
cept. This coal produces 20% more
heat at a considerable less price, and
a. circular containing instructions for
its use will shortly be furnished by the
commissioner. Soft coal is used en-
tirely in the Middle Vi'estern States
with complete satisfaction. anthracite
or hard coal being entirely unknown. ‘
As regards price. there will be no
standard price throughout the Stan.
It will vary in different localities and.
from Aime to time, will be flexible. de-
pending upon the cost of each cargo,
as purchased. Newspaper articles.
notwithstanding there is no standard-
of prices at the mines at the present
time, and probably win not be until
the supply is sufficient to meet the de—
mands. “’9 will, however, state that.
the price charged by the retailers is
fixed by the commissioner, and is has;
ed upon the cost of each cargo receiv-
ed. There being no standard price at
the mines, it will be reddily seen that
the retail price must “try widely in
difierent localities and at different
times. It must therefore be apparent
that the. retail price being entirely in
the hands of the commissioner, what—
ever profiteering there may be will be
at the mines and not by the retailer.
We strongly urge the public to fol-
low the recommendations of the com-
missioner, who is thoroughly familiar
with the conditions. Failure to do no.
will result in considerable hardship.
which must beshouldered by the tn-
dlvidual, not by the dealer.
Trusting that this will inform the
public as to the exact conditions. we
are. Very truly.
