PROMPTLY RE- CEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF Ts. . Berlin New o e e e - g ) P 8 1 e e W POLITICAL TALK . ABOUT THE TOWN " (andidates Tor Ofices KITCHIES ENTERTAIN §. OF V. | Excellent Musical Program Rendered | Meeting— -, Jacob’s Place Not Sold Yet—+Jit- | at Sons of ‘Vcterans ney”. Owner, Makes Complaint. With the time for party caucuses in Berlin only a few weeks away inter- est among the voters is keen as to who will be candidates for the offices ; that are to be fillea at the autumn | selection. The affairs of the town of | N P i Berlin have been in a chaotic con- | 1 dition for nearly a year and is was | only at the last adjourned meeting! about a fortnight ago that there ap- peared a possibility of an early ad- justment. It is practically certain that the! pext few weeks will see in this town =, board of estimate and apportion- ment. - A special committee now has this matter in hand and it is expect- ed that with the beginning of a new fiscal year the Dhoard will assume its duties. Meanwhile the political pot is sim- reering merrily. Chief interest cen- s around the board of sclectmen. illiam II. Gibney, the first select- _roan has announced that he will not e a candidate for re-election, but if there is an insistent demand among | tne voters at large for his retention flice it is belleved that he coula be induced to hold on fur another term., There is no doubt that Mr. Gibney has a strong following and many of those who are openly opposed to his election concede that it will be %o easy task to dereat him should he decide to enter the compaign. The other two - selectmen, Newton aldwin and James J. Fitzsimons, «t yet made knotwn whether i enter the race for re-elec- .he friends of these two men B they should bc retained. whatever the charges tiaal huve been brought against the town administra- tion, their followers contend, no one has cast a shadow of suspicion against the integrity of any member of the pourd of selectmen: Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Fitzsimons, as «well as Mr. Gibney, have many friends whe do not- wish to see them retire under fire and it is regarded as prob- W, N able that the present second and third | selectmen will stand for ré-election, | if for nothing else, at least for vin- dication at the hands of the voters of the town. Of almost equal importance to the coming contest over the board of se- Jectmen is the rumored fight that will #he made to defeat Charles F. Lewis for tax ceilector. Mr. Lewis was ;more.in.heed of Inferest Keen As to Who'Will Be' | faction of a his first term. No fault, so far as can be learned, has been found with him as to the performance of his duties. Whatever opposition has found voice among the citizens is the same that was heard during the campaign last fall. It is that Mr. Lewis, draw- ing a'lucrative salary from the Amer- ican. Paper Goods company, should give way to a capable man who is of .the income that goes vith the tax collectorship. The friends of Mr. Lewis, however, do not share this view. They point out that now that the town has the best tax collector it has ever had, it is the -part of wisdom to continue with the incumbent than go seeking in pastures new for one who may not turn out nearly so satisfactory. The woods will be full of candi- dates for the office of town clerk and treasurer now held by .Francis H. Shaw. A good deal of apposition has developed against Mr. Shaw who has held the office for the past -eight years. But he is not without his sup- porters who assert that he is still a capable man and with the able as- sistance of his daughter can continue to fill his public trust to the satis- majority of wcitizens of the town. The new system of book- keeping will be installed soon and when that is done, Mr. Shaw’s friends maintain, all criticism of his affice will vanish. It has been rumored about town that Edward O. Dean -of Blue Hills, after a conference with a number of his friends, decided to enter the race for tax collector. Another report was that Mr. Dean would be a can- didate for second selectman. When approached on the subject Mr. Dean said: “I have not the remotest idea of running for any office. I have no po- litical aspirations at all. [ expect to be in New Yark the greater part of the coming winter and could not at- tend to an office it elected. I regard Loth Mr. Lewis and Mr. Baldwin as highly cfficient men and would be glad to sec them continue in office.” Sons Of Veterans Entertained. The Sons of Veterans were enter- tained in royal fashion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wililam Ritchie of XKensington last evening. The early part of the evening was devoted to a business session and was foliowed by a social hour. An appetizing luncheon was served. An excellent musical program was carried out by Miss Nora O'Brien, Miss Anna Treh iss Katherine Mc- Keon, Miss Margaret Flynn and Miss Mae Bowler of Willimantic. Miss Lillian Trehy. presided at the piano in a capable manner. The young la- dies also assisted in = serving. The concensus of opinion of the members held this season and cridit upon Mr. and Mrs. hosts. It was decided to hecld the next meeting at the home of Secretary Ar- thur H. Bushnell of Farmington road on Wednesday, September 8. An en- tertainment’ committee of three con- | sisting of Roy Gibney, chairman; A. H. Bushnell and Garfield Gibney was appointed to arrange a suitable pro- gram for the ocacsion. Mrs. Grey Entertains.

When asked the name of the prospective purchaser Mr. Butler answered that he did not wish to give it out until the deal is com- pleted. He said thé prospective pur- chaser resides in West Hartford.

Unless efforts of the Hartford | Chamber of Commerce to stir up | enough civic pride to secure a suitable | location for ths plant of the Hariford | Auto Parts company in the very nea: | future are successful, Plainville will | et the concern. The directors .t | the corporation, it is understood, have practically delivered that ulti- | matum, and the officers of the local Business and I[mprovement associu- tion are now hopeful that the fac- torry will be moved here, increasing greatly the industrial activities of tiie town. ‘Prominent members of the Plain- ville association and other local men of means who are interested in the growth of the town and the develop- | ment of its business interests, have offered to erect a building suitabie for the needs of the concern, getting in return but six per cent on their | investment. They will also agree *o | sell the proper! to the company at | the end of five years. | Directors of the corporation are | most favorably impressed with the | proposition and at a meeting held yvesterday they practically decided to move here unless Hartford soon | comes forward with a suitable offer | to retain the plant in the Capitol city. | No action for the removal of the es- | tablishment was taken at the mee:- ing, but it was the sentiment lh.xt‘: the enterprise shown by the Plain- ville men should be rewarded, and the offer may eventually be accepted. John H. Trumbull, president of | the Trumbull Electric company, one | of Plainville’s most public-spirited citizens, is a director of the Hartford concern, and it was through him that the proposition for the removal of the | plant to this place was advanced. Mr. Trumbull has the support of F. T. Wheeler, president of the local asso- ciation, and other prominent citizens, and if the plant is not located here it will not be through any negligence on their part. The company’s factory is now lo- cated in one of the Colt company’s buildings, and an order to vacate by October 1 has been given, the fire- arms people wanting the floor space for their own use. While the officéers have made a diligent search, v have heen unable to locate any av building in Hartford adequate for their requirements, and unless a new structure is erected they admit they will have to leave the city. The directors' do not feel at liberty to erect a building themselves at this time, as the company’s- business is growing so rapidly that all available funds are required for its development. Most of the company’s products bear the name ‘‘Hartford,” and for that reason they would like to re- main in the capitol city. The Cham- ber of Commerce, however, has been unable to solve the problem for them and Hartford admits that it stands a good chance of losing the concern. The company is willing to remain in that city providing it is supplied with a suitable building, the rent for which will not be in excess of seven per cent of the original investment. It must also have a five year option for the purchase of the property. It requires a building 200x60 feet, two stories high, with at least 24,000 square feet of floor space, with suf- ficlent land for boller house, stock department, etc. Plainville is willing to give even more than the company asks of Hart- ford, and the directors are seriously considering the acceptance of the of- fer.” To keep the plant Hartford must | act quickly, as the company must have quarters by October.” The local men interested in getting the industry here, it is understood, are ready to start work on the factory building im- mediately, having it ready for occu- pancy in less than two months. Nearly 250 employes, most of them | skilled mechanics, are employed by | the company, which has a weekly pay- | roll of approximately $3,500. The plant is now working twenty-four ours a day to meet the demands made | by the trade. Over $24,000 worth «f | new machinery has recently been in- | stalled to handle the rush. The growth of the concern within the last five months has been remarkable. It is now doing a business of almost $45,000 a month, compared with $10,- 000, the value of the goods produccd in February. There is every indica- tion that its prosperity will continue. Plainville offers many advantages to | industrial corporations seeking loca- | tions. It has railroad facilities equal to any place in the state and is also | most accessible by trolley or steam. The town’'s principal drawback as far as getting a plant of the size of the Hartford Auto Parts company’s is | its lack of suitable housing accomo- | dations for the employes. The mcea | working for the concern are, on the whole, well paid and they would d:- Dr. T. C.,Hodgson of East Berlin, left tor Neew York today, where she is to Visit their relatives.

Stephen Perlusietter of Whiting street called on Probate Judge Bying- ton last evening to request the rescind- ing of the order committing his wife to the Connecticut Hospital for Insare at Middletown. The man believes his | wife's condition is so much improved that she should be kept out of the asy- lum and he wants to send her to the home of her brother in New York in the hope that a change of environment might cure her. Papers for the woman's commit- ment were issued on the application | of First Selectman W. J. Johnson and | Perlusietter was advised to put his case in the hands of that official. The woman is a state charge and the authorities are willing to have her taken care of by relatives providing she is not breught back here.
