N. Y N. H. A H. 'a Call to. Authorize
$45,000,000, Proceeds to Ba Used
Paying Off Notes.
-Directors of. the .New ; York,. New
Haven & ' Hartford railroad have
issbed a statement urging . upon
stockholders thtf necessity sof approv
ing "the proposed Issue, of $45,000,-
000 new 7 per cent, preferred stock
to ' raise - funds - to pay off -a, like
amount of 6 per cont. notes' which
fall due. April 15, 1918. ' The pro
posed stock issue will ' be voted upon
at a special meeting to be held fol
lowing the annual meeting of share
holders in New Haven on October
24th.
Howard Elliott, chairman : of the
committee on intercorporate relations
of the- road, explained that this form of
financing is preferable at this time to
a bond issue or ' an extension of the
notes. -He said: '.'-..-
A preferred stock issue offers the
soundest method of finance. It allows
every stockholder- to subscribe, but
compells no - one "to -do so. It will
make the stock and indebtedness sub
stantially equal in. amount -and so
strengthen the company's credL
It. will lift " the burden , of
short term notes which each year has
meant refunding and substitute a pre-,
ferred stock which can be called when
the company is -able to sell some of its
assets; - . - : - - :
The company Is now pying. - metre
than, seven per cent, in interest arid
discounts on its short term notes: it
can as easily earn and pay seven per
cent, dividends on $45,000,000 of pre-
ierrea - stock, with the great" advan
tage of not . being required to make re
newals every year; - -
j.r tne notes' were nnanced . by an
issue or bonds the company, it is
pointed out by the directors; would
be required by the laws of Massa
chusetts and Connecticut to aathor
ize a mortgage sufficient in ' size to
pay off the notes, but Tn -addition
would have to - provide for the fu
ture issue of bonds to. take no $187.-
810,791 of obligations now outstand
ing, or a total of $232,810,791.
Objection is raised to a forced
sale of the Boston and Maine, the
trolleys and any other property not
necessary for - the ooeration of . ths
ivew Haven proper and its supple
mentary , steam Doat lines as a means
of paying off the notes on the ground
that they would have to be disposed
of at a great, sacrifice if sold be
tween now aqd ..next April. ' These
properties ' have a book value of
$150,933,981. '
As to outlook for earnings, it is
stated that the ,"15 per . cent, rate
case" will b,lner in (beginning with
September) $1,500,000 , new revenue
a . year. . Three millions more an
nually will accrue to the company
through expected increases in pas
senger rates. There is also a move
ment to increase fares on the trol
ley lines. -
"From slightly increased rates,"
says tfce . directors' statement, "bet
ter operation and sales of
ceiianeous property more than $12,
000,000 floating debt has been oaid
off in. the last four yearn and at the
same time about $17,000,000 has
been spent for improvements, - bet
terments and equipment. ' These ex

made Increase the permanent - value

HAVE DISTINCTIVE TOUCHES
Designer Have Manifested Artistic
Purpose in Developing New Gar
mentsSome " of the" Earmarks of
Skilled Workmanship.. -.
There are certain touches about this
season's suits which . accentuate the
refinements and artistic purpose of the
designers.
The long -lines, the high waist, the
severity of the tailoring, the simplic
ity yet elegance of the trimming and
finish, combine to result in. garments
which give the wearer a distinguished,
modish appearance.
A suit in beet root garbardlne noted
yesterday - emphasized these good
points, The smart coat was high
waisted at the back,- and was trimmed
with rows of small buttons and much
stitching. A band of caracul formed
collar and cuffs and a natty touch was
given by a sash loosely tied in front.
Broadcloth in an old blue tint was
developed In a suit handsomely trim
med as to Its long coat with but
tons ana stitctving., rne .-jKirt was
medium width, in yoke effect, and'with
inserted pockets. '."
Another broadcloth suit ' in fawn
shade had a tailored coat rut on long,
straight lines, and for. trimming rows
of bone buttons.
Charming for dressy, wear .was a
Pekin velour suit, having wide military
belt, fancy stitched seams, and trim
ming of four rows of self -covered but
tons. . This- was copied from a Cal

RECOMMENDS MEDICAL
INSPECTION IN LEBANON
Supervisor Says School Children Ought
to' Be Examined by Health Officer. .
I recommend that medical inspection
be made during the coming year by the

in his annual report as supervisor of
the 1 -ebanon schools. Each -child shoudl
be carefully examined and a record
kept of those needing attention. .The
supervisor's report in part is as fol
lows: The per centum of attendance for
the year was 87, indicating a gain "of
seven per centum. This is better at
tendance than we have had for two
years. I take it that' greater interest
in' the schools had something to do
with this . increased attendance. - The
enumeration was 823, being .24 less
than that of 1915. . The average at
was 194.584,'. showing a decrease of
about four, as compared with the av

ance, with all additions and deductions
was 218.698.- The average attendance

'' It will be noted that after payment
of the grant, based on the average at
tendance herein mentioned a different
scheme will, be' used.-- Towns are dir
Vided into, classes in accordance , with
grand list."' Towns having more than
a. million grand list, but not. in excess
of one million live hundred thousand,
are in the third class., Lebanon's
grand list is 71,085,333 and the town
will receive mrom the state thirty per
centum the amount paid to the teach
ers. -This, change in the law will be
advantageous to Lebanon.
The .banner for best attedance was
awarded each month to the school
having the highest per centum of at
tendance; -.
Setiool number ten by Miss Alice
Mahoney, -had the best attendance for
the year, it being 97 per cent.
Pupils who were neither absent, tar
dy nor dismissed during the year will
be granted - certificates, signed by
Charles D. Hine and Governor Marcus
H. Holcomb. The list of those to re
ceive such certificates follows: Village
Hill: timer Borgeson (perfect for four
years.) Liberty Hill: Richard Dimon.
Number Five: Helen Taylor. Center:
Earl Campbell (perfect for two years).

Seventy library books were added to
the school library during the year. The
-town library was use! more by the
schools than any previous year since I
have been supervisor of Lebanon-. This
extensive use is due to the -o-opera-tion
of the librarian, Mrs. Sweet, and
to the fact that teachers have arriv
ed at the place where they do not
teach simply from one text book alone.
Another factor is that children are get
ting the reading habit, due to atten
tion being given to wholesome read
ing material. The -school committee
co-operated by having boxes b uilt
that books may be transferred from
: school to school in accordance with the
1 needs. . . ,
Library certlflcot?s were - issued - to

Certificates sre granted for excel
lence in first grade reading, 'fourth and
fifth grade arithmetic, primary pen
manship and advanced penmanship, in
addition to the library certificates.
Parents fchould investigate if childrRn
are not receiving the certificates. The
certificates are indications that the
children are making advancement.:
I recommend that medical inspection
be made twice during the coming year,
by the town health officer. Each child
should by carefully examined and - a
record kept of those needing attention.
The model school was taught hy
Miss Mary E. Fisher and the school
exerted an influence on the other
uchools of the town. 'The teachers
were sent to this school .to observe
and were directed as to phases of
work to especially note. Demonstra
tion lessons were . given at teachers'
meetings and - much helpful material
was. handed out by the model teacher.
A' cone-shaped plate' which is fast
