F. Gaffney—Fall from “Jitney”—*“The Swan” Sold by Local Man—Dun- ham a Public-Spirited Citizen. With William H. Gibney having an- nounced that under no circumstances will he again be a candidate for first selectman, a number of -candidates have appeared in the field to take his place. Among those who are being | prominently mentioned about tow the office is Ex-Representative Wil- liam H. Webster. When asked if he ! was a candidate for the office, Mr. Webster said that he was not eagerly seeking it, but should strong pres- sure be brought to bear he would probably throw his “hat in the ring.” “I am not « candidate for office,” he said, “but if the public wants me to fill it I will do so. I have never “vet shirked any public duty.” It is the opinion of many that Mr. ‘Webster would make an excellent of- ficial He has served the town in the general assembly and is thoroughly cognizant of the town affairs. Assessor George B. Carter is an- other man whose name is also being mentioned quite freely as a successor to Mr. Gibney. Mr. Carter has faithfully served the town as asses- sor during the past year. He has op- posed Mr. Gibney on several oc- casions but each time went down to defeat It is thought by many that ghould he throw his hat into the charmed circle again, he would he chosen to the office When the subject was broached to Mr. Carter this morning he good *naturediy denicd that he would seek the office this fall. He said he had very little time to devote to the town, sghould he be chosen, as he had all he could do at present to conduct the ffairs of his farm and look after his milk route. Then again, he declared, he expected to sell his farm and mo%e from Berlin. Frank P. Day, for the past fifteen vears a resident in Berlin is con- ridered by many the one and only man for the position of second se- lectman As t Mr. Day has nou made any puhhc statement concern- ing his candidacy but it is rumored that he has an eye on the position. Mr. Day recently resigned his posi- tion at the \.company where he has been employ- ed for a number of years. He is member of the school board. These are but a few of the names of citizens who are being considered. The election this year promises to be one of the most interesting as well as hotly contested in the history of Berlin. In past years many likaly aspirants, who had covetous eyes on the office of first selectman, gave up the idea of attaining the position by running against such a strong op- a American Paper Goods | himself to be. With Mr having now announced that he will not again be a candidate for re-elec- tion, conditions have changed and it is expected that within the next few weeks a number of public spirit- ed citizens will venture forth an throw their hats into the politica ring Board of Apportionment. A few legal entanglements concern- ing the creation of a board of estimate and apportionment for this town were cleared up vyesterday afternoon Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Britain. Those who attended the conference at Judge Gaftney’s office were Fran Deming, ex-Senator Claude W. Ste Second Selectman Newton W. Baldwin The first action towards having a finance board here will take place at a special town meeting which will be called by the selectmen upon petition. At that time the committee of five recently appointed to create the bhoard will give a detailed report. If in the affirmative then estion will be submitted to the voters at th regular town election or a special elec- tion. If the majority vote in favor of the resolution on election day it is into effect thirty age. days after its pas Fall from “Jitney.” vhat might have been a (‘ldent occurred early last Kensington, when the tailboard of “jitney” said to have been operated by Kopolowitz of New Britain, gave way and deposited several of the oc- cupants on the ground. One of the young men in the car is said to have had his right elbow painfully bruised while another is reperted to have had a suit of clothes ruined. For- tunately the machine at the time of the accident was not traveling very fast. serious a a Repairing Church, Xtensive repairs are being made on the East Berlin Methodist church. The interior of the building is being completely renovated and the exterior is also being fixed. The roof of the church is being reshingled.

Warren of Worthing- ton Ridge to Captain Horace Stannard of Westhrook. ‘““The Swan” is twent five fset long and is an auxiliary yacht. A Public-Spirited Citizen. An excellent example of a public- spirited citizen was furnished this morning by William D. Dunham, a resident of Hudson street Knowing that he was not to receive any muneration for his task and still not pleased with the existing conditions Mr. Dunham set about this morning and repaired the walk leading from worthington Ridge down Hudson i street to his residence. Although part of the walk which he repaired passes other people’s property Mr. Dunham generously applicd a coat of gravel and widened the walks, !

Although Plainville has kept to the | fore with the needs of modern traffic and some time ago appointed a traffic policeman, the value of his work is to a considerable extent nullified the The select ulations and the statutory laws are not sufficiently defined to cover a sit- uation such as in Plainville, where an officer is stationed at a dangerous cor- ner to guide the cross currents of team and automobile traffic. There is noth- ing to compel an automobilist or teamster to obey the officer's com- mand to pass to the right and his com- mands are openly flouted by many an independent turn of mind. Such an occurrence took place Sun- day afternoon when Officer Downey was on duty. An aged and respected citizen drove up and made the wrong turn The officer called the gentle- man's attention to his error but the driver declined to come back and do over and told the policeman in angu more forceful than polite that he didn't intend to obey the com- n da Although it is impossible 1cgulations for the whole to been pointed out that a res could be made, the new sewer of the sewey ge to adopt ¥n, it has ricted area, adopting the lines of district.
