FORFEI s School Board Eror Was . Mads by State Goard. | ;-AMOUNT INVOLVED T0 BE REHJNDED Teachers to Be Allowed Five Days Pay ey & —Town Affairs Stated in Paper at Literary Society Meeting—Judges’ Pecision Reversed. School Supervisor J. W. Dows went "before the town school committee at | Its March meeting last evening and de- {nied that the forfeiture of one per # gent. for the common school grant, cqualling $17.19, came about through Mo negligence or procrastination on his Part. He averred that an error was ¥ of education, and that when it is rec- tified, the town of Berlin will receive a check for the full amount. It will be remembered that the spe- cial examining committee, in its report *at adjourned town meeting - Monday evening, Mar. 1, pointed out.the loss of the amount stated, explaining that in- quiry of the treasurer of the state board of education had elicited the in- formation that the forfeit- was made as a result of the fact that the Berlin school authorities were twelve days late in filing a report of the conditions | $f the schoolsin this town for the years 1912 and 1913. The report should have been submitted October 15, 1914, but it was not received by the state board until October 27, 1914. In explaining the matter, the schoc) . who has charge of the in the towns Canterbury and Hampton in addition to those in this town, stat m these other two towns ®ere seut imultaneously with the Berlin re- pert, no cas and they received the full amount of the common school grant. In consideration of these facts, he felt sure that a mistake had been made and he assured the board that the matter would be adjusted. *¢ Supervisor Dows turned over a check for sixty dollars fo the town last evening, this being the rciu $120 paid by this town towards the state library association, for refer- ence books and the like. In his regu- lar monthly report, he told of the fact that the new banner which was or- dered ‘at the last meeting of the board Lhas been hung up _in the Hubbara school in East Berlin, the pupils there having made the best attendance rec- ord for the month of February. A number of bills were ordered paid. They totalled less than $1.00. Teachers Allowed Five Days. Auestion which has been under copsideration for the past seven or -y eight months was settled at the meet- " %ing last evening when it was voted to make allowance of five days as re- gards the pay of teachers who are compelled to remain away from their work on account of illness. This plan \ 18 worked in New Britain and a num»l | prescribed ' made in the office of the state board | that while similar reports | forfeits were made in their | | point made > ou the | | facts in ber of other towns and cities about the state with great satisfaction. At the September meeting of the school board. Treasurer Frank N. Bacon was instructed to pay the teachers for only the actual number of days they attended to their classes, deducting for each day they were ab- sent, except when the schools, were ciosed because of inclement weather. There has been considerable illness among the local teachers this year and many of those who have been obliged to lose much time from their work have become disgruntled upon finding, a reduction in their pay en- velopes, Now that the board has passed a new rule, the pay of teachers will not he changed if they lose no more than five days. In the event of their being obliged to be absent for periods cover- ing more than five days, their pay will be docked for each day over the number of days. President John Ty Molumphy stated this morning that the action of the board was not taken without con- siderable deliberation. the secretary of the board has carried on correspondence with the school officials in many of the towns of the state to ascertain how they met the matter. It was found that, in the majority of towns, the school boards have adopted plans similar to the one decided upon here last night. Judge’s Decision Reversed. How does the Men's Lyceum stand on the question of postage rates in the United States? The members are at a loss to answer this question even | though it was thrashed out thorough- in a debate in the chapel at Upson’'s corner last evening before a fairly large audience. After ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens and ¥F. H. Crane g tive debaters, and Clarence B. Baldwin and William A. Hyde, as affirmative disputants, had exhausted all their best arguments on the sub- ject: ‘“Resolved, That the Rate of Postage for Letters in the United States Should be Reduced to One Cent,” th judges, Judge George G. Griswold of the town court, Selectman William H. Gibney and E. R, Dunn, a Southington man, awarded the de- cision on weight of argument, man- ner of delivery and evident prepara- tion to the affirmative side. But when a,vote of ‘the house was taken, the negative side was declared to h winner. This left an unusual ‘“fix,” and many of those who. attended idn’t seem to have the courage of their convictions when they left for home. g [t was a very interesting debate, however, and both sides brought out new and interesting facts. The chief by ‘the affirmative side was that the rate of first class postage should be reduced and that the rate tor second class matter should be in- creased. Literary Society on Town Affairs, Of especial interest in a paper on current events read before the Berlin Literary society at its mecting at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Samuel A. Fiske last evening, was an illusion to the adjourned annual town meeting held recentl and th report Ssub- mitted by the special com- mittee of three appointed previously to examine the repor#s of the town officers. Mr. Savage presented the brief and concise form, cov- ering only the essential points. William C. Shepherd gave paper on current events in general, and he quoted one'of the prominent German professors of Cornell urniversity who wrote, a short time ago, that, while of course his heart was with the Ger- mans; he felt that the Allies were in the right. a He said that | be the | The subject foi the evening was “Dr. Sam Johnson and His Time.” tev. Samuel A. Fiske led off with an excellent paper on *“D: Sam John- son,” during which he read one of the great Iinglish writer's articles”on the vultures. Mrs. E. W. Mildrum spoke about *“Oliver Boldsmith” and Miss Sarah E. Churchill on “Miss Burney.” Mrs. W. 8. Brandegee gave readings from a number of -the celebrated English authors of the time.

After spending several days investi- gating, Patrolman Philip Marino this ucceeded in bringing inio | court a case of violation of the laws relative to delivering beer without tne proper orders, John Maricllo of New Britain, being put to plea before Jus- tice A. H. Condell. 5t G s Gwillim, whose action was sanctioned by Liquor Prosccutor B. W. Alling o# New Brithin. The court found the accused guilty and imposed a fine of §10 and costs, amounting to/ $23 Acting on the complaint of a rep- resentative of a local saloonkeeper, Officer Marino was ordered a few weeks ago to keep watch on certain out-of-town peddlers who were pected to selling beer from house to house in Plainville. The law requires that the sales be made in the place for which a license is issued_ allowing de- livering only when the teamster can credentials proving that he s acting as the agent of the purchaser. Mariello fell into the hands of the authorities last Friday when he was making his rounds here. When he was hailed by Officer Marino he exhib- ited slips purporting to be bona fide orders. ine of them were. taken by the policeman and turned over to Prosecutor Gwillim. Tt was found that the orders while showing the date of the alleged sale were not perforated in'the manner prescribed by law. There were also some other techni- cal defects about them and the'team- ster’s arrest was ordered. Attorney Alling was here this morn- ing to present the case for the state. Mariello had no coundel and he seemed willing to admit that he was at fault although he claimed there was no intention on his part of breéaking { the law. He is employed by . John Skritulsky, a license liquor dealer in New F ain. The authorities did not believe that the circumstances warranted con- demning the beer taken as evidence and it was returned to Mariello.

The selectmen are considering matter of sending a bill to the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company for the expense the town incurred in re- moving from the streets of trces that were killed by few yvears ago. Thepselectmen paid out nearly $400 for this work and thoey feel the company should reimburse them. The matter has been put up to the committee appointed by the property owners over a vear ago to pave the way for a collection of damages to the trees and it is understood it is to be taken up with Judge W, F. Hen- ney of Hartford, who represented the five taxpayers whose cases were tried recently in the superior court. Lawyers have advised the select- men that besides having a claim for the cost of removing the stumps, the town ‘has an action against the com- pany for the damage caused to the highways as a result of the loss of trees, There are a number of individual claims against the company yet to be settled and the selectmen will prob- ably work in conjunction with the property owners in their attempts to raid the Tramway company’s treas- ury. stumps gas a Makes Peace With Officer, The telephone company has -made its peace with Police Officer Marino for designating his place of residence in the telephone directory as “Pov- erty Hill,” and when the next 'phone book is issued it will show the officer to be living on West Main street. The section in which Officer Ma lives has often been called Hill, a designation not at ing to people living there. The name, however, was never formaily recog- nized until the policeman had a tele- prhone installed in his house, the com- pany using the nickname in its di- rectory.
