R. Jones of Worthington ridge, Berlin, has presented the Evangelical Lutheran church at Meriden with a costly cabinet organ for use in the Sunday school department. The church expressed a desire to purchase thg, instrument and asked Mr. Jones to name his price, but moved by a spirit of philanthropy, the latter donated it to the church. In acknowledgment of the gift, the pastor of the church has sent Mr. Jonds the following letter: “111 Cook Avenue, “Meriden, Conn., Feb. 22 “Mr. E. R. Jones, Berlin, Conn: ¥¥Dear Mr. Jones: In the name of the church board of the Evangelical Iutheran church at Meriden, Conn., I wish to express our heartfelt thanks for vour kind gift of an organ. It was very considerate of you, and I ex- tend to you a hearty invitation to visit us at your convenience to behold the bright and radiant cheer sur- rflfunding and radiating from vyour iTe. “Very respectfully yours, “PAUL A. KIRSCH, “Pastor of the Ev. Luth. Emmanuel Church.” 1915. o | Mr. Jones received a letter from the | superintendent of the Sunday school about a week ago in which the latter inquired about the organ He had seen it in a house in Meriden where Nf. Jones lived formerly. In com- pliance with a request of the local man, the superintendent called upon | him early this week, at which time Mr. Jones made the donation. Printed Report for Meeting. The work of the board which was appointed at the annual town meet- if in September to exam the Te- ports of the town officers is now com- plete In three days it will be made public, this to occur at the adjourned n.eeting to be held at the Town hall Monday evening. terest has been manifested in this matter, both within and without the tosn, it is expected that the ing'will be one of the most largely at- tended ever held in the hall. The examining committee, which is composed of Claude W. Stevens, E. W. Mildrum and Francis Deming, has put in much time in an effort to get through all of the books in time so as to be able to report at the ad- journed meeting. It has an extensive report to make and, for the con- venjence of the voters, the members hav® deemed it advisable to have the gtatement printed. It is now in ‘the hands of the printers and they 'will embody it in a booklet of twenty W pages, sojue of which will be devoted e to tables of figures to assist the,voters in getting a clear conception of the werk of the committee. Seven hun- dred copies of the booklets have been ordered, which figure is one hundred in excess of the number of copies of the annual town report ordered last year. From this fact, it is evident that the committee anticipates more than an ordinary attendance. Another matter of moment which will be taken from the table at Mon- day’s meeting is that of fixing a tax rate for the ensuing year. The pres- ent rate is sixteen mills, but there is talk of boosting this to meet expenses —probably to twenty mills. This, with the big increase in the grand list, should bring in enough revenue to put the town back on a good finan- cial basis again. However, there are those who are very much opposed to any elevation in the rate of taxation at this time, when the condition of labor is not as good as it could be. This faction is growing stronger and may be able to kill any plans for changing the rate. The meeting will be called by Mod- erator E. I, Clark at 8 o'clock sharp, as the large amount of business to be transacted will require much time. Finds Girl on Tracks. ‘While walking down the railroad tracks about two miles south of the Berlin passenger station late Wednes- day afternoon, Section Foreman Wil- liam Wi m overtook a little girl Her presence there aroused Wilson' curiosity and, questioning her, he learned that she was Nellie Horrigan of Athol, Mass. She gave her age as eleven years. The little girl explained that she ‘had been visiting with an aunt, Mrs. Peterson of 108 Commercial street, New Britain, and, becoming homesick, | started out to walk to her home in Athol,” where her father is employed by the Standard Oil company. The aunt was notified and she came down to the depot immediately for the girl.

Officer May Present | the Silent Drama Here. | LOCAL MAN BUYS HOTEL IN AVON Proprictor of Colonial Inn Getting timates for Theater Buildillg-—-( ; i Patrick Bryne to Become a Boniface —Improve West Main St. Soon. | Plans for the erection of a motion picture theater on his property on Ilast Main street are being consid- | ered by Charles H. Officer and while | they are still in embryonic state, there is @ strong possibility that the build- ing will be erected this summer. Mr. ©Officer has had the motion picture | idea under consideration for some time and this morning he frankly ad- mitted that the possibility of his erecting a building for this form of entertainment is not particularly re- mote. Mr. Officer is proprietor of the Col- onial Inn, and should his plans for a "movie” theater go through the building will be erected on the hotel | property. The land has a good street frontage and there is ample 1oom for a sizeable building. Before going into the matter any further he proposes to get estimates on the probable cost of constructing the proposad building and if the ex- pense is not too large it is probable that the structure will be erected. During the past few years there have been many reports about pro- ducing the silent drama in Plainville and several out-of-town motion pic- ture men have been here looking over the field. At one time the erecc- tion of a “movie” theater on the Neri property on Central Square was con- sidered, but the project was later abandoned on account of the expense. A few years ago motion picture shows were given a trial in the town building, but the venture did not prove very profitable and the shows were discontinued. Since that time the business has developed a great deal and many towns of Plainville's size now have regular ‘'movies” with daily shows. The use of the town hall for mo- tion pictures has béen forbidden by department declare that unless exten- sive alterations are made in the building a permit for shows of this character cannot be obtained. Chief Egan considers the hall too much of a fire trap for motion picture enter- tainments and additional fire escapes and new exits would have to be pro.- vided if the shows permitted. The lectmen re not anxious to incur the expense which would at- tend such an improvement as they do nat helieve the would warrant such an outlay Mr. Officer’'s ideas conform to the opinions of several of the citizens who believe that a motion picture house, properly conducted, would be a fi- nancial success. Buys Out Avon Hotel. Patrick Byrne of Washington street vesterday concluded negaqtiations for the purchase of the Avon hotel in the town whose name it bears and today he took possession of the Hos- telry. The Avon house is the only hotel in the town and said to be doing a good husine Though a resident of a comparatively short Bryne has made many here and they wish him suocess in the venture.
