Although it is a known fact that Mr. Gibney has many political enemies in town still he has strong support. * The race for tax collectorship is at- tractiag almost as much, if not more, fnterest this vear than the first se- lectmanshin. Two meén, both capable and efficient. have thrown their hats into the ring for the office, Tax-Col- lector Charles F. Lewis, who is seek- 4nz renomination, and Leland W. Gwatkin, who is opposing him. Mr, Lewis is basing his campaign ang arguments why he shoald be re- nominated as well as re-elec’ cil on the manner in which he has filled the office Auring the past year. Mr. Gwatkin, wno is the secretary of the ‘State Agricultural society, on the other hand is desirous of receiving 3@ namination, saying that he will devote his entire time to the office While Mr. Lowis can only devote part time as he at present he holds a re- sponsible pozition with the American Paper Goods Co.

Both have strong followings and are con- fident of' victory. g It is not expected that 'much ex- citement will prevail at the demo- cratic caucus. Lewls Replies to Austin. In a communication received at the “Herald” this morning Tax-Col- lector Charles 1°. Lewis replips to an attack made against him my Ex- Tax Collector Elmer E. Austin Sat- urday in which the latter took e ception to an article which recently appeared in connection with the col- lection of taxes. The communication follows: “While I do not wish to enter into any controversy with the author of the article appearing in the ‘‘Herald” in connection with the collector of taxes for the town of Berlin, I do believe that he should have given the public the total amount of taxes to be collected each year as well us the amount left to be collected at the time the collector's books are au- dited in September. As the collector has the rate book from May 1 to September, whei the books are au- dited it is reasonable to expect that in four months time for collecting there will be some taxes that are not paid. As the grand list increases each year, so 1lso does the amount of tax to be collected increase- Last vear, according to the figures of tha special investigating committee which are admitted to be correct, the col- lector had a total property tax of $30,508.61 to collect, of which he had collected 67 per cent or $21,210-, 07, leaving a hulance of $9,298.54 to be collected at the time the books were audited in September. On tha personal tax lisi there was $1,670 to collect of which he collected $604, or 36 per cent, leaving a balance $1,066 to be collected. The collector this year has a total of $33,979.69 to collect, of which he has collected 75 per cent. or $25,441.50.. leaving a balance of $8,538.19. The personal tax this vear amounts to a total of $1,620 of which 65 per cent has been collected, leaving a halance of $532 to be collected. “So far as the ablility of the present collector is concerned I believe that the public should be the sole judge. According to law, the books of the collector, and for that matter, the books of all public officials, are sup- posed to be for inspection any reasonable time. Signed, “CHARLES F. LEWIS.” Swedish Voters Organize. A large number of Swedish voters of this town assembled Saturday eve- ning at Flannery’s hotel and organ- ized a Swedish Republican club. The meeting was called to order by Charles J. Johnson. After an informal dis- cussion the following officers were elected. President—Louis Anderson. Secreary—Charles J. Johnson. Treasurer—G. Lindquist. A committee of four consisting of Louis Anderson, Charles J. Johnson, Mr. Mattsen and Charles Kalen were appointed to draft dules of the organ- ization. The next meeting of the club will be held on September 217in the town Town have open of | hall at which time other Swedish vot- ers in this town who are desirous of becoming members will be admitted to the club. The rules drawn up by the committee will be presented for approval- It is expected. that it will be decided whether the club should become affillated with the Swedish Republican State-league. Installation ‘Indefinitely Postponed. Owing to the town caucuses being held this evening-it has been decided to defer indefinitely the installation of the newly elected officers of the Bar- aca class which was to take place this evening in the Kensington Methodist church, indefinitely, 5 Report on Conference. A very pleasing as well as interest- ing report was given by Miss Helen Nourse and Miss Grace Skinner on the summer conference at Northfield, Mass., alst evening at the meeting of the Christian Endeavor society af the Berlin Congregational church- August Klein of New Britain sang “O Rest In The Lord,” by Mendelsohn at the morning services at the Ber- lin Congregational church yesterday. Mr. Klein is an excellent baritone and his efforts were heartily appreciated by the parishioners. The first fall meeting of the Junior Endeavor society held at Berlin Con- gregational church yesterday after- noon was largely attended. Miss Catherine Miner is the superintendent and she is ably assisted by Miss Ber- tha Goodrich. The teachers and officers of the Sunday school classes of the Berlin Congregational church enjoyed a pic- nic to East Hampton Saturday after- noon. The picnickers were conveyed in five automobiles. Plans were com- pleted and committees appointed for a Sunday school rany to be held on September 26, Donage Lot For Bazaar. A lot in “Treasure Fields” on the Beech Swamp road has been donated to St. Paul's Parish bazaar by Jordan & Selleck. * The property will be given away at the bazaar which is to be held on October 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20 in the Parish hall on Main street, Kensington. The bazaar is an annual event and is joyfully anticipated. The follow- ing program has been completed for the five nights: First evening—St. Paul's T. A. and B. night. Second evening—Sodality Blessed Virgin night. Third evening—Altar society night. Fourth evening—Parish night. Fifth evening—Everybody’s night. On the first evening the Tabs' drum corps will parade around Kensington. An entertainment will be put on each evening and will be followed by danc- ing. Many booths will arrange about the hall. which is to be artistically decorated. Good Sum Realized. Forty-five dollars was realized by Rev. Dennis J. Bustin of New York at the mass at St. Paul's church yes- terday morning for the aid of the colored people of Yhe south. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Bustin, who gave a-vivid picture of existing con- ditions 'in the south, explaining how the colored people can be elevated and how deplorable conditions can be im- proved. - The parishioners responded in a ‘generous manner at the collec- tion. g Liquor, :Cgse" Adjourned.

Fined in Court— Another Chance— Cafferty Gets Owners of Autos in Litigation. That William J. Johnson will be nominated to succeed himself as first selectman at thec republican tonight was generally conceded today by leaders of the G. O, P., few he- lieving that George S. Babcock, his opponent, will get votes to make the conteat one name. Mr. Johnson has filled the office acceptably for the past two vears and the party leaders are well satisfied with him. It is expected thac he will have their support when the voters gather tonight and his nom- ination by a substantial majority was predicted today- Even Mr., Babcock admitted that Johnson's chances looked very bright. Nevertheless the clerk of the board declared he h no intention of with- drawing and "2 Wwill remain in tho race to the finlsh. His campaign of late has been conducted in halr- {l}:srted fashion and it is not belleved that he will make much of a show- ing. Seemingly the near-contest for the nomination for selectman will be the only break in the harmony which is expected to characterize the caucus. Republican office holders expect re- nominations without opposition and it is not expected that it will take long to make up the ticket. There has been some talk of nom- inating Henry David for constable, the democrats having declined to put his name on their ticket this year: He may be nominated in place of John E. Conlon, a former democrat, who turned to the ranks of the G. O. P. two years ago. The caucus will probably name a successor to Rev. F. L. Grant as a member of the school board. Mr. Grant has resigned from that body, caucus enough worthy of the ‘the preNsiire of other dutims making it necessary for him to withdraw. Autoist Fined in Court. Failure to stop at the command of Officer ‘Marino, proved rather expen- sive for Dr. R. J. Lawton of Terry- ville, who appeared in court Saturday afternoon to answer to charges Of violating the automobile The physician was fined $11 and costs, Justice A. H. Condell finding him guilty of operating a car without a tail light and with refusing to hait at the policeman’s command. Officer Marino explained that as the doctor’s car passed the center he dis- covered that the rear light was ex- tinguished. He called several times to the driver to stop, but the latter paid no attention to him and, increas- ing the power, sped away. The po- liceman jumped into another autom - bile and followed the fleeing car until he got close enough to copy the reg- istry number, Dr. Lawton was subsequently noti- fied by Grand Juror Gwillim to ap- pear in court, and Saturday afte noon he was arraigned. He di claimed intention of evading respon- sibility, explaining that he did not ua- derstand the constable’s call. FEvi- dence was against him, however, and he was convicted on both counts. Chance for Cafferty, Another chance was given to James Cafferty late Saturday when he was brought before Justice Condell to plead to a charge of intoxication. laws. ~| Although it was his third appearance before the court in a few months, Cafferty was given clemency by the court, which imposed a fine of $1 and costs and a sentence of thirly days in jail, suspending the execution of the jail feature on the promlse of the accused to stay sober, Cafferty was arrested on Labor Day by Constable Marino, who locked him through the request of his Attorney Joseph G. Woods of New RBritain, un- til next Saturday. Decision in the case of Mrs. Balog charged with as- saulting Mrs. Thomas Captsicks, which was tried last week, will be reserved until the disposition of her husband’s case. Berlin Briefs. Postmaster Henry L. Porter has the following advertised letters at the Berlin post office this week: Miss Katherine Wilbur, Miss Edith Wilbur and George Bushnell, Edward Mott of Kensington has re- turned home from a three weeks' va- cation, traveling through the north- western section of New York state. He was accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Walsh, of North Haven, and his grandson, W. Sumner Walsh. The ladies of the M. E. church of East Berlin met Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. R. O.
