Awards Made at Grange Carnival— State Tax Bill Received—Other Berlin News. “YWe want water,” is the cry ensington people and all roads will lead to St. Paul's parish hall tonight jwhere citizens will devise ways and fmeans to procure saild water. There as§ been several ineffectual attempts 0 Ao this before. The Kensington fater company, composed of mem- vers of the directorate of the Amer- jan Paper Goods company, secured thrter a few years ago to supply e town of Berlin with the desired fqua. Evidently, the cost of the oject seemed too great for them r nothing has been done about fur- efing the scheme. P. S, McMa- , proposed to furnish the inhabi- ants with cool, delicious, sparkling ter, from his reservoir on his farm the southern part of Kensington, st winter. He has not mentioned t since. First selectman Willlam H. Gibney ppeared at some meetings of the ew Britain Water board and re- huested they heed Kensington's call lor” water. At that time that board @red its title to lands in the town f Burlington would be invalidated. fince therr the legislature has passed home rule bill which the promo- rs of tonight’s meeting say, will al- ow New Britain to supply water dthout consulting any one else. The ommittee hopes every one will make speeial effort to be present tonight, nd bring express views on the ques- on. Many of the property owners were terviewed today and all seemed de- ghted with the prospects. One said e could build another house from o urance he could save in five if the town had fire protec- It is not thought there will any opposition to the pan to- ght. Of course this i a liminary meeting, but the promo- feel the groundwork for the wa- supply will be laid. Grange Carnival. ‘he two night carnival of the Ber- i(finnge came to a close last night. attendance on both nights was large and ‘the society made a 4t sum. The entertainment was nishea by Mrs. George Ventres d consisted of two recitations. Her orts were well received.

The amount as- sessed on this town is $3,378.81. When the entire tax is collected the state treasury will be enriched by $1,750,- 000. This tax does away with the issuance of bonds, which up till three years ago was an annual event. The | money is used to pay current expens- | es and $600,000 is yearly placed in a sinking fund. Each town and city in the state bear a proportionate part of the tax. | The levying of the tax is based on ! the sworn statement of a town of the amount received as taxes laxd upon grand list property, including | the amount received from personali taxes, taxes on shares of stock and; other taxes, which the town may lay. ! If a town fails to make the payment | of its assessed tax, interest shall be charged at the rate of nine per cent. a year until the tax is paid. Still Speeding. The accident which happened on Main street, East Berlin on Sunday, when a wheel fiew off of the rear end of a touring car, evidently has had no effect on speeders on the new thoroughfare for the citizens of that district are still complaining of the excessive speeding. Yesterday a larae limousine was golng,along at a rate | estimated to be sixty miles per hour | and when the driver saw a team ap- | proaching he attempted to turn into | the gutter near the Soldier's monu- | ment. He turned too far and the machine came into contact with ai horse pot and snapped it off at the! base. The automobilist did not even | slack his pace but proceeded on s | if nothing had occurred. The resi- dents feel drivers are tempting fate too often and there will be a serious accident there yet. A movement is | on foot to petition the town officials to place an officer on the road so the speed laws will be observed, Improvement Society to Meet.

Promises to Give Town 80 Candle Power Lamps ATWATER SEES —SELEGTMEN Willing to Give Service at $19 Per Lamp if Town Mak Ten Year Contract—Sclectman Want Com- pany to Give Some Lamps Free— | While unwilling to grant a reduc- tion in the price of each light, unless | the town mukes a ten year George F. the United Electric Light and contract, Atwater, representative of Water | company in this district, told the se- lectmen at their meeting last evening that if they renew the agreement now in force for a period of five lamps of ecighty candle power will be substituted for the sixty candle | power Mazdas now in use. Under the existing conditions he declared that the company could make no other concessions. Mr, Atwater appeared before the board at the request of the members who weare anxious to find out what the company would do for the town in | i the event of a contract renewal, He talked to the board at length regard- ing the lighting question and explained that Plairville is now getting as much as any town in the state under a five year contract. He was willing however, to give lights of increased candle power should the contract be rencwed. The town is now paying at the rate of $20 for each lamp used. There are 121 Mazdas in service and the coming town meeting will probably authorize the sclectmen to install ad- ditional globes, petitions having been presented by the voters of several dis- tricts for better lighing service. Should a ten year contract be made, Mr. At- water told the board the company would reduce the rate to $19 for each jamp. The agreement would contain a clause in which it would be speci- fied that without paving any addition- al money, the town would have the benefit of any improvements that might be made in lighting appliances during the life of the centract The ten year contract seemingiy does not make a very favorable im- pression on the selectmen The board told the company’s rep- resentative that the lights now in use years | CENTRAL MARKET 35 West Main Street PLAINVILLE, CONN.

B of in- creasing the candle power, the town would prefer to have a few extra lamps without expense. Mr. Atwater did not believe his company would agree to the substitute concession. The selectmen, however, propose to press the point and will probably recom- mend it at the special town meeting to be held-early in December. Consideration was given last night to the petitions for additional lights on various streets and members of the board spoke in fuvor of having some new lamps installed. They were not in favor of giving all that the voters asked for, however, The selectmen expressed satisfac- tion at the meeting over tne work that is being done by Henry Orvis, the new tree warden. Mr, Orvis is trimming many of the shade trees in va tions of the town and there marked improvement in the ance of the streets where he has worked.

A settlement for the damage | | | is expected to be made tomorrow and it is liable that the case will be dropped. The ex-officer was given a shock when he came to work Wednesday morning. A $300 pump, which he had installed in front of his place, had been broken during the night and the wreckage strewn about the road. Nearby he discovered a cement-cov- ered gear, the only clue to the iden- tity of the people responsible for the damage. He kept it an exhibit A and immediately started an investiga- tion. A neighbor who had discov- ered the broken pump Tuesday night had taken the number of an auto truck on its way to Southington. The occupants has acted suspiclously as the car passed the McNally place and the license number was noted. Mr. McNally found the number to be that of 'a car owned by Clark Wil- son of Naugatuck. He communiecat- ed with the police of that city, sub- sequently getting information that the Wilson truck, loaded with a cement mixer and bound for Bristol, had left Naugatuck Tuesday. The garage owner next went to Bristol to work up his case. At the plant of the Bristol Brass companv he found the mixer, an examination showing that it was minus a cog. and that the gearing found near the broken pump fitted the machine. Certain of his quarry Mr. McNally then got in communication with Mr. Wilson and the latter admitted that his car caused the damage. He ar- ranged to have a new pump installed and agreed to come here this eve- ning to make a settlement. Good Profit Realized.
