Reynal who, in his ca- pacity as treasurer the American aper Goods company, requested that $7,000 be deducted from the assess- ment of the concern he represented. The assessment of the company, announced in the grand list, is $107,- 645, an increase of $18,300 over last year's figure and $7,1 over the pmount named in the to the board of assessors in Novem- ber. Of the total assessment an item of §65,000 for the factory buildings is the largest. By viriue of the fact that a large new huilding was erected dur- ing the course of the past ycar, the company put in a list this year for an increased $10,000. Nevertheless, the w fit to give it another boost, the, officials of the concern unwarranted. Others who asked relief ter Gwatkin, Henry M.

He listed at $500, but the assessors valued at $600. Mr. Austin com- plained that the assessment on his ice houses was more than it cost him to erect them. Mr. Austin consider: them worth about $250. ors think $300 plus this figure none too much. Mr. Cowles, lives in Southington, is ¢ for twelve and a half acy sington.

Subsequently, invitations have been sent to members of the Stanley Post and the Berlin Veterans’ asso- ciation. The supper will be served at 6:45 o'clock in the basement.

Griswold of Kensing- ton, Berlin's representative in the general has written to Henry president of the Reform as- purpose of stating “so-called civil ser- vice reform.” His communication was in reply to one received from President Farnam, . Among other things, the represen- tative writes that the civil service re- form seldom secures or retains the best men in office or in government employ, that it tends to minimize a man’'s best cfforts to make the most of the office or position which he fills and that, like many other beautiful “listen well,” it results in the end in poor service to the state and in speedy mental decreptitude to the employe. The doctor writes further that, like national prohibition, woman suffrage, Christian science and Carnegie’s phil- osophy of brotherly love and universal peace, is beautiful to contemplate but hard of rational comprehension. Ideal- ists and optimists have done much to illuminate dark places, says the phy- sician, but they usually make shi wrecks by striving for the impracti- cable. Putting it plainly, Represent: tive Griswold tells Mr. Farnam that he admires his ideas by doubts his knowledge of practical politics. Hearing on Bank Petition. A petition for an amendment in the charter of the Berlin Savings bank was considered by the committee on banks which met at 2 o'clock this af- ternoon at the state capitol. Since theJocal bank was incorpor- ated, there have been a number of changes in the laws relating to such institutions and, to conform with these, the directors found it necessary to apply for an amendment to their charter. assembly, W Connecticut sociation, for the his opposition to Farnam, Civil Service No Big Land Sale. There rumors about New Britain this morning to the effect that Carrie Bennett, hm(or known there as “Berlin Beauty,” was interested in big land deal transacted in Berlin. The rumors were without foundation, re- ceiving their start, undoubtedly, from the fact that R. O. Clark, the FEast Berlin brick manufacturer has been negotiating with Carrie for the pnr- chase of a small strip of land on the ‘“Ledge."” Mr. Clark has bought of the wood on the old Jacobs place, which was foreclosed upon a short time ago. He has only until April 1 to clear the land of the wood and, to avoid complications in case he should be hindered, he has been trying to buy an adjoining strip belonging to Carrie, so that he could haul the wood upon it if occasion demanded.

It is not as large as classes which the bishop has confirmed in preceding vears. After the service Bishop Brew- ster will deliver the sermon. Rev. R. H. Burton will conduct the Ash Wednesday service in the morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Played Tag With Officer. Frank Cafferty, an old offender, was locked up late last night by Patrol- man Philip Marino, with whom he had been playing tag around the center during the evening. Cafferty was intoxicated and was ordered by the officer to go home. He started down the railroad tracks but instead of continuing toward his domicile he dodged behind Russells’ block, ana “peeking” around the corner, he started to “‘josh” the officer, who was standing at the railroad crossing. When the policeman went after him Cafferty hustled to the other side of the block and resumed his peek-a-boa tactics. For some time the two played tag with each other but the officer fin- ally caught up to Cafferty and the latter was “it.”" He was taken to the lockup for the night but was released this morning without a hearing, the policeman be- lieving it cheaper for the town to have him discharged than to return | him to jail. a hostelry in which Cat- | ferty has spent much of his time dur- ! ing the past few years. Entertained G. O. P. Workers. Members of the republican town committee and other loyal workers of | the G. O. P. were the guests of Rep= resentat E. T.

About thirty property owners have thus far ap- peared to protest against the increases made by the assessors. The board is scheduled to meet again on Saturday This will be the final public session and after that date no claims for relief can be entertained by the board. When it considered that the as- sessors increased the valuation of the property of 280 taxpayers, the number of complaints received by the board of relief to date are few. Several who have appeared before the board have, after an explanation was of- fered them, admitted that the in- dreases were justified and withdrew their complaints. While it is probable that the relief board will make some changes in the abstract it is not expected that the grand list will be materially reduced by reason of their sittings as the mem- bers apparently consider that the as- sessors did their work in a careful and conscientious manner and arrived at results that are reasonably fair to all. Given Linen Shower. Miss Edith A. Ellis of East Main street was tendered a linen shower Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. Dwight G. Clark on Whiting street. There were a number of the young lady’'s friends present. The guests in- cluded several from out-of-town, Mrs. M. H. Frost of Willimantic being among them. Games and music were enjoyed during the evening and a lunch was served The engagement of Miss Ellis to Dr. Lawrence H. Frost, also of this place, was announced recently.
