Penfield, a prominent resi- dent'of East Berlin, manager of Rem- ington Arms ‘and Ammunition com- pany of Bridgeport, is in midst of the strike which is now in progress. Con- siderable unfavorable comment is given to Major Penfield by the press all over the state for the attituda which he has been pursuing as man- ager of the plant. Although correspondents, of re- spectable newspapers, have used every {July"18, 1829, the son of Cojonel Wil- liam Bulkeley and Caroline (Beckley) Bulkeley.

Sells Land to Power Company A deed filed with Town Clerk Fran. cle H. Shaw records that Aaron M. Rell of this place has solq a tract of land containing 10,500 square feet to the Connecticut Power company, The deed” also grants th right of way to the company along the poles and ll.uwer lines: High ' tension wires are now being extended by the Cornecticut Power | company form Waterbury to Middle- | town by - the way - of Kensing- i"ton*" " and Beckley. The wires ; are . extended across large steel | towers . and -carry over 65,000 volts. Thie lifte’ is said to exceed the cost of any such project which has ever been undertaken in the state, Considerable difficulty has been ex- | perienced by the company in secur- ing the right of way for the line, The | customary manner has been to allow steel tower placed on his land. It is ,sald that Bell refused to consider Plalnvllle Newsa VOTERS TO DECIDE - ON BUILDING PLAN Town: Meeting to Consider Matter of Erecting School Honse, SELECTMAN T0 ISSUE CALL. School Board May Recommend One- Room Portable Building—Sued By Painters—Case of Beer Stolen— Se- lectmen Won't Pay—Briefs, Plans ‘for calling a special town meeting to take action regarding the matter of providing more adequate accommodations for the school. chil- dren will be made at a session of the board of selectmén to be held tomor- row afternoon. The gathering of the voters will probably take place the latter part of next week and owing to improvements . in process of making in the town hall, the meeting may be in the grange building. Members of the school board today called Selectman Johnson's attention to the absolute need of more room for the children and at their suggestion he will arrange with the other select- men to call the voters together to con~ sider the proposition of erecting a portable school house on the property. on Broad street. Unless the kindernr(en is aban- doned, & suggestion seemingly unkind- 1y received by the townspeople, it will be necessary to erect a new building and it is likely thlit the voters will au- thorize the board to make 'the ar- rangements required. It was said that voters living in Mountdin View are anxious to have a school house in that district and that they may suggest at the town meeting the erection of a building in the set- tlement as a solution of the problem now confronting the school board. There is some opposition, however, to a division of the town’'s school plant as it is believed that it might lessen the efficiency of the teaching.force and the idea of a special building for the Mountain View children would not be favorably received by the ma- Jority. The school board’s plans is gener- ally believed to be feasible. Its mem- bers want to put a portable building in the rear of the school house erect- ed a few years ago. It is thought the this proposition, and in order to avoid a detour of many thousand fee the company was compelled to pufl:)uu the right of way, which is reported to be about $1,000. f The towers are made of steel '‘and are 100 feet in height and on the | ground cover a space of thirty square feet. It will be several months be- fore the work will be finished Burdick Disposes or Land. Charles A. Burdick has sold two pieces of valuable property situated cn Worthington Ridge to Carl L. Carlson, also a resident of this place. The first parcel of land is bounded and described as follows: North by the land of the grantor, south by the gecond parcel of land sold and . by property of Carl L. Carlson, partly by each, and west by the nighway. The second piece of land is bound- e¢d ‘and described in 'the following manner: North. by the first parcel of land disposed of and by property of the grantor, east by the brook, south by the land of James Woodruff and west by land of Carl L. Cartson. Berlin Briefs. The Misses Julia, Saran and Har- riet Roys who have been sojourning at Madison, hav returned to . their home on Wo'rthh}gtnn Ridge, Mr. and Mrs.. Thomas 'C. Fagan of Kensington are entertaining Miss Olive Lynch of Erie, Pa. .'The Misses: Carrie and Hattle Mijl- drum, of HBast Berlin, are visiting with friends in Watch Hill, R. I. Mrs. Daniel Flannery, who has been confined /to the Hartford hospital, has returned to her home on Worthing- ton Ridge. R. B. McLaughlin has left for New- tonville, Mass, H. H. Spoaner, of Kensington, will lead in the prayer meeting at the First church in New Britain this eve- ning. The regular weekly prayer of the Berlin Congregational chuch will be held at the church this evening. Rev. Samuel A.

A large attendance is anticipated. > The Epworth league of the East Berlin, Methodist church will give an ice cream social on the church lawn tomorrow evening.

Morgan have returned to their home in East Ber- lin from an extended visit to East Orange, N. J. Raymond Dyer of East Berlin has recovered his commutation book which he recently lost in Bushnell Park, Hartford. Gas has been installed in the lin Congregationa! church. The ladies of the Berlin Grange met this afternoun at the home of Miss Harriet B. Hollister of Worth- ington Ridge. Ber- et s J cost of construction would not be in excess of §700 or $800. New bollers would be unnecessary as connections could be made with the heating plant in use in_the buildings on the school property. There will be of course an increase in the expense of maintain- ing the schools but this cannot be avoided anyway unless the . kinder- garten is given up. The amount of expense which the carrying out of the sechool board's plan would involve is not very large and it is probable that the voters will en- dorse the recommendations made at the coming meeting. Sued By Painters. Angelo Blancali of Whiting street, has been made the defendant in ‘a suit bfought by Morgan and Kingsley of New Britain to recover a bill of $10.90 forpainting and supplies. The action was brought today by Attorney Daniel O’Keefe and the papers were turned over to Constable Stark for service. Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff A. P. Marsh the constable came here this morning to attach property said to be- owned by the defendant. At the town clerk's office the books failed to show any property registéred as Blancall's and the officers left to seek informa- tion elsewhere. B Case of Beer Stolen. The polica learned today of tho theft early’ this morning of one of a4 number of cases of beer from the platform at the freight yards. The beer was part of 4 shirment consigned to local dealers and had been unload- ed on the platform for subsequent de- livery to the. saloons. The stolen case contained twenty- four . bottles. l Selectrhen. Won't Pay. That Barkhamstead will not pay the hills for the-funeral of Chearles Dun- ham, who was'murdered in that town a few - weeks ago, if its officials can find any way of getting some other town to. settle the account, has been made apparent to the selectmen here with- ¢ in the past two days, , Alhough Dunham kad not ilved in Plainville for twenty vears, Barkham- stead wants this _town to claim him 88 one of its paupers, 1In looking up the lnl.!’.te'r, Selectman Johnsqn found that the Barkhamstead officials were #1ving “this t6wn no special distinction in'icoinectior " With' fheir 'efforts to cvade ‘paying for Dunnam’s funeral.

Scores of veterans, Tepresenting G. A R, organizations in several places in the state, were here today to take part in the exercises attending the observanc of Grand Army day at the camp grounds. Members of the Wo- man’s Relief corps and kindred so- cleties also gathered to assist the old soldiers in making the day enjoyable.

The jitney business between Plain- ville and Bristol, which for a number of weeks gave promise of making things unpleasant’ for the Tramway company, s now very mucn on the, wane and the ranks of the operators of autos serving as common carriers are dwindling steadily. But four or five machines are run daily at the present time. When the | jitneys were at the heighth of their popularity in Plainville there was a sizeable fleet of machins of various deseription 'competing with the troi- ley company. The autos got a large part of the business and for a time it appeared that the coffers of the trol- ley company would’ soon be sadly de- Qventou of the cars, however, now admit that the jitney is hardly a paying proposition as the machines | depreeiate so quickly from the rough .on the park at Maple Hill.
