Since aJnuary 1 this has been re»
duced to 812,000. When the City of

tion that has been voted to the Hos-
pital. it will be applied to reducing
the indebtedness.
A great deal of interior painting
has been done during the year. gal-

replaced with brass and insurance

been practically doubled. All of
these extra expenses have been fully
met. .

improvement in the case record
through the employment of a. re-
cord clerk. the installation of flour-
oscopes. the gift of E. T. Bedford.

ment has been many times over-
taxed and the superintendent has
felt almost constantly the need of
more private rooms.

Sims Says Navy -,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. (AP.)~
Rear Admiral William 8. Sims. ro-
tired U. S. New. told the President's
“it is well
known that the navy has no definite
air policy." and that naval air de-
velopment is hampered by “a. kind
conservatism so extraordinary
it is almost unbelievable."
The present dissatisfaction and
unrest in the Navy. he said. is due
“to a lack of confidence" in Naval
lenders. He pointed to the Shenane

First Selectman King W. Mansfield
stated that there was no need to hur-
ry the appointment of either third
selectman or town constable.
Although Duffy announced last
Friday his intention of accepting
both offices. sudden change in his
domestic plans is Iaid to have arisen
soon afterwards'nnd he and his
family then moved to NprwalkV and
established a residence there. In
a letter to Town Clerk Edward C.

possible for him to accept either
office because he had moved to Nor.

on the increase.
