Berlin News LEWIS CANDIDATE FOR OFICE AGAIN Decides to Seek Re-election as Tax Collector in Berlin HIS RECORD IS EXCELLENT Abandoned Auto Still at Roadside— Work on Turnpike Bridge Not Progressing at Very Rapid Rate— | Paper Goods Excursion to the Rock ! Tax-collector Charles F. Lewis of | Kensington will be a candidate for! re-election to the office which he holds at present. This statement was made yesterday by Mr. Lewis questioned as fo whether he run on the ticket this fall. The announcement that. Mr. Lewis Is to run for the office of tax-collec- tor again will be received with keen pleasure by his large number of friends. There has been some talk‘ prevalent about the town that Mr. | Lewis would not seek a public office mgain as his business took up so much of his time. Mr. Lewis has been the tax-col- lector of Berlin for but one year, suc- ceeding Elmer E. Austin whom he de- feated at election last fall. He is considered by most of the people to be one of the best officials that has collected the taxes in this town for many years. What opposition that has been heard against Mr. Lewis is of a very petty nature. It is that he at pres- ent holds a responsible position at the American Paper Goods company and should retire in favor of some man who is more in need of the mon- ey.

It is the opinion of several residents of the town who have paid a visit to the new bridge on the Turnpike road which is under construction that the structure will not be finished before the snow flies. Practically very little progress has been made on the bridge due to the fact that the weather has been unfavorable and because G. E. Goodrich, the contractor has been un- able to secure sufficient help. It is said that most of the assistants that he has at present are inexperienced and incapable of doing the wor Large Crowd on Excursion- Five trolley cars loaded to their capacity left this morning for Savin Rock carrying about 350 persons who availed themselves of the opportunity of going on the American Paper Goods excursion.
