" Berlin News B v e o v T e et e BOARD PERSONNEL STILL PERPLEXES Many Citizens Mentioned as Pos- sible Members THIRD SELECTMAN RESIGNS #dward Stevens Says He Is Too Busy t6 Fill That Office—Fagan-Stiquel Nuptials ~ Today-—Auto Brtdge—Church News—Briefs. The membership of the new finance Board is still the subject of much thought among the voters today, especinlly the republican part. There seems to be a difference of opinion as .to who »will be the most suitable masv in the Berlin and Kensington -distriets. A prominent resident, who incidentally is mentioned for a place on the board, said this morning he felt that those men who have worked on the question for the past year should be chosen for the board, as they are more familiar with the question than e others who are mentioned. N the Berlin district Francis Dem- ing and Colonel Charles M. Jarvis are the names most often heard as the re- publican representatives. The choice in the Kensington district seems to lie between ex-Senator Claude Stev- ens, S. M. Cowles and George Greene. There is practically no oppcsition to B. W. Mildrum among the republi- cans and it is almost certain that he be chosen from that part of the town. Things are much more serene ix the democratic party over their represen- tation on the board. The choice in the Berlin district is about equally di- vided between A. B. Goodrich and Al- bert Norton. In the East Berlin and Kensington districts there are .nly twgs- names mentioned. Lewis A. ‘estcott in the former and George Sullivan in the latter place. Nothing new has been heard of the threatened drive against First Select- man Gibney, one prominent citizen saying this morning that the matter would die aborning. The consensus of gpinion on the question is Mr. Cib- ney is fulfilling his duties in a very commendable manner and it would be unfair to him to tie him to the one position. However, these are but rumors and the townspeople will have a chance to select their own finance board at the meeting tomorrow night. stevens Resigns as Third Selcctman, Rdward J. Stevens, who was chosen ird selectman of the town at the recent election, called on First Se- lectman Gibney and presented his yesignation ag a member of the board of selectmen. Mr. Stevens feels as though he cannot give the time nec: sary to follow the position with credit to himself and the town. Previous to Smashes | zs the cTection Mr, Stevens notified the | chairman of the democratic town comimittee of his uswillingness toirun, s the notification was made over telephone and not written, the town committee could not accept his Selectmen Gibney and Bald- a democrat to fill the vacancy on the board, caused by the resignation of Mr. Stevens, Expenses Not Filed. Town Clerk Shaw reports that prac- tically none of the candidates at the 1ccent election have filed their ex- penses, as required by law. He hopes that those who have neglected to do po will remedy the matter at once, so that he may send them to the secre- tary of state. Fagan-Stiquel. Willlam J. Fagan and Miss Emma Louise Stiquel were married at St. Paul's parish house by Rev. J. C. Brennan this morning at 10 o’clock. The wedding was a quiet one, only the iinmediate families of the bride and bridegroom being present. After the ceremony, a wedding breakfost was served at the home of Mrs. Emma Stiquel, mother of the bride. Philip IN. Fagan, brother of the bridegroom, was best man and Laura Stiquel, sister of the bride, was bridesmain. The groom’s gift to the bridegroom was a !avalliere. After the wedding break- fdst, the happy couple left on their honeymoon,* which they will spend in Boston, where they will attend some of the world’s series games. Mr. and Mrs., Fagan will be at home to their friends after November 1. They will reside on Kelsey street, New Britain. Auto Bests Bridge. A moving force always bests a sta- tionery one. This wos again proven yesterday afternoon, when a passing auto collided with the fence along the bridge over the Mattabessett river near the Beckley station. mobiles were coming in opposite di- rections and met on the bridge. In order to prevent a possible accident. one of the drivers suddenly swerved Fortunate! a little landing in the swamp. no one was hurt and after the road, the partv continued on its Journey, leaving the bridge to be re- paired by the selectmen.

The anti-Marinoites claim they will be out in force and | their drive against the officer will no doubt have considerable strength. It is said that their plan is to have the meeting refuse to make an appropria- tion to cover the expense of having the streets policed every night, a move, which if successful, will pre- vent the town officials from retaining Marino as a regular policeman. During the year the officer has per- formed his duties energetically and his zealousness has made him unpop- ular with some of the voters. They plan to be out for revenge tonight and the indications are that the police matter will prove one of the most in- teresting features of the discussion at the meeting. In view of the action | of Bristol voters in putting the city back in the license column, the ar- gument will be advanced tonight that there will be no necessity of having a policeman on duty regularly in future. Consequently any attempt to have a special appropriation made will be stubbornly resisted. Officer Marino, friends who of course, has will strive to have him retained. The selectman are said to be divided on the question. The re- publican members, W. J. Johnson and C. H. Calor are thought to be in fa- vor of his retention while W. C. Hart nting the minority on the s with the opposition. Justice A. H. Condell is expected to be one of the policeman’s strongest defend- ers if there is a debate over his qual- ifications or the manner in which he has performed his duties. Tonight's meeting gives promise of being one of the liveliest sessions held here in a long time. There are sev- eral matters over which difference of opinion has been expressed and a dis- play of verbal pyrotechnics is looked for. Through Chairman M. A. Norton of the town committee, the democrats hope to ‘“start something” regarding the claim of William C. Hart that the votes cast a week ago should be re- counted. The claim will be advanced that the moderator erred in counting town clerk is full of inaccuracies. The republicans are expected to meet the demand with the argument that a re- count can be ordered only by the su- perior court and that a discussion of the matter will not be in order at the meeting. Mr. Hart and his support- ers are anxious to get an expression of opinion from the voters even if the meeting has not the power to order another review of the ballots. George S. Babcock has prepared a resolution making the salary of the first selectman $1,000 a year and he has announced his intention of pre- senting it to the mceting. The se- lectman under the existing conditions, receives $2 as compensation for each day of actual service in his capacity as the town'’s busihess agent. Seem- ingly there are many voters in sym- pathy with the plan of having him serve an a salary basis. However, no mention of this matter was made in the call for the meeting, and it 1s doubtful if action of thc Rabcock res- olution will be permitted by the chairman. Other questions to be considered are the authorizing of the selectmen to increase the number of street lights; the laying of a town tax; in- structing the selectmen to have a sur- vey made of certain streets in the town and the acceptance of the report of town officers. Applications for new street have been presented from different sections of the towp and some of them will probably be granted. The present tax rate appears to be satis- factory and it is not expected that any change will be made. It was said today, however, that a motion will be presented to have the meet- ing adjourn until some date in Janu- ary at which time the town officers will present a budget, showing the es- timated expenses for the coming year, thus making it possible for the voters to d uss intelligently the tax ques- tion. Action similar in character was taken last vear and the results were entrely satisfactory. Has Birthday Celebration, Miss Annie E. Benson entertained a number of her voung friends Sat- urday afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs, George C. Ben- son of the town line road. The oc- casion was the sixth anniversary of her birth. Games were enjoyed during the aft- erncon. The children had a water- melon cut in connection with the cele- bration. Babcock Spent $13.20. It cost George S. Babcock $13.20 to get nineteen votes for himself for first selectman at the election last Monday. George filed his expense list this morning with Town Clerk R. C. Usher.

Had he won, the candidate of the Babcock Independence party says he would have added some cigars to his election purposes. His friends had to get along without the ‘‘smokes,” however, nineteen votes being hardly enough for a victory. Open Fair November 4th. At a committee meeting held yes- terday it was tentatively decided have a fair for the benefit of the lo- cal fire department on November 4, 5 and 6. The com- mittee was named at the recent meet- | ing of the hose company, the firemen most depleted treasury medium of a fair. Yesterday sub commitees were ap- pointed to look after the various de- tails of the work attending the fair. Another meeting will be held to- morrow night at which time the dates will be definitely selected. Buys Out Cigar Store, Pomoroy M. has bought out the Jensen cigar and news store in Hartford and he will give up the “jitney” business this week. Mr. Wilcox's many friends wish him success in his venture. During the summer he has been operating a ‘‘jitney’” between Bristol and Plainville. When his car is taken from the service, the last of the “jitneys,” so numerous during the summer, will have disappeared. The business has not been very profitable of late and the operators have gradu- ally given up. “Potato King’s” Harvest, Joseph A. Fagan, who is acquiring national fame through magazine arti- cles in which he is described as “Connecticut’s Potato King,” has the work of harvesting the tubers at his farm in the Scott's Swamp district well under way and he now expects that he will shatter the record made a year ago when he dug 6,000 bushels of “spuds” from twenty acres under cultivation, Mr. Fagan reports that as a result of frequent spraying and the attention given the crop, the blight was suc- cessfully warded off and there is not a sign of decay in the potatoes that have been harvested. The potato crops of many farmers in this section ‘were practically ruined because of copious rains in the early summer. Under the direction of government experts Mr. Fagan employed new methods in fighting the blight and as a result a record-breaking crop is expected. ' It is estimated that the average vield will exceed three hundred bush- els to the acre. At The World’s Series.
