Berlin News e s e e V¥ o et et SELECTMEN HOLD - LENGTHY SESSION Transact a Large Amount of Busi- ness in Six Hours 10 REPAIR TOWN ROADS | Berlin Girl to Become Bride of New Britain Man—Lyceum Debate De- For ‘Workmen’s Demands Shorter Hours Not Justifiable. . cides N The board of selectmen met yester- day and transacted considerable bus- iness in a six hour session. John A. Mogre, the newly appointed third se- lectman, attended his first meeting /s a member of the board. First Se- le¢tman William H. Gibney presided. The first business to come before the board was the appointment of a personal tax enumerator. In former years this work 'has been done by Francis H. Shaw. He has refused to act in that capacity this year and the work will be performed by E. W. Mil- drum. It was voted to rent the town hall to the Berlin basketbail team at $5 a night. boys a chance to see if they can run their games in an orderly manner, A clauvse was inserted that any unneces- sary damage done to the hall must be paid by the team. « The selectmen voted to make a temporary loan of $10,000 to carry the town until next May and an order for that amount was drawn in favor of the town treasurer. Besides this orders were drawn amounting to $6,- 300, of which $677.78 will pay the county tax, $3378.65, the state tax and §514 the military tax. The remainder of the sum wiil be used to pay cur- rent expenses, such as hospital ani Infrne bills. The next question to be taken up was the matter of the roads of the town. A lengthy discussion was held on the condition of Worthington Ridge. The street is in a deplorable condition and is probably the worst road between Hartford and New Ha- vey. The sireet is a trunk line and comes under the Jjurisdiction of the state highway department. Tt is full of holes and when the automobiles go by, they splatter the o as the sidewalk. Only last Frida, women complained their dresses were ruined by the splattering of the caused by a sing automobile. lectman Gibney was instructed to take the matter up with Commiss Bennett and set him to repair rond immediately, if possible. The town pays nothing towards the sup- port but the condition of it will be called to the attention of the state highway department and a request made that it be put in better shape The question of the Beech Swamp cond was also discussed and it was jegided to exert pressure on the state highway department so the work of repairing it will be started very soon. This is done to-give the | gravel road will be laid, starting at Greenbacher’s corner and going as far north as the appropriation will allow. The board has always met on the first Monday of the month in the past and that fact has caused some in- convenience, so it was voted that hereafter to meet on the tenth of every month. It was also moved and carried that any citizen who has com- plaints or requests concerning town affairs be invited to attend any of the meetings for the purpose of stating their views, and the board assu them their words will he given cor eration. The meeting adjourned til December 10. Erickson-Webster. John Os son of Mr. and John E. Krickson of Park street, Britain, and M Gertrude, ter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Webster of Worthington Ridge, will be united in matrimony tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Gwatkin on Worthington Ridge. The ceremony will be per- formed by Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pas- tor of the Berlin Congregational church. by Stuart Webster, a brother of the bride, as best man, and by Miss Jo- sephine Erickson, a sister of the groom, as bridesmaid. The wedding march will be played by an orchestra of three pieces, Mrs. H. H. Damon at the piano, Mrs. Leland Gwatkin on the violin, and William Webster on ’cello. Samuel A. Fiske,.Jr., and Na- talie Gwatkin will be the ribbon bear- ers. Invitations to the number of 100 have been issued. The home will be prettily decorated with evergreen, laurels and white and pink chrysan- themums. Miss Webster is a native of Berlin and one of the town's most popular young ladies. She has been employed at the main office of the American Hardware corporation in New Britain. Mr. Erickson is a native of New Britain and is well and favorably known in that city. He is a mem- ber of the Kenilworth club and is employed by the New Britain Gas Light company. After the wedding the young couple will leave on a honeymoon trip and upon their re- turn will reside on Park street, New Britain. id- un- My New To See “Movies.” The committee of the Berlin Sons of Veterans association 1in charge of the entertainment for the veter- ans of the town met at the home of William H. Gibney last night and per- fected plans for the entertainment. On account of the interest among the veterans concerning the moving pic- ture, “The Birth of a Nation,” which is now playing at Fox's theater, New Britain, the Sons decided to have the veterans see the picture as their Judge George G. Griswold reported that he had secured a block of twenty-five tickets for the Friday afternoon performance and the eight- een veterans of the town will witness the picture at that time. Liyceum Debate. The Kensington Men's Lyceum held its second debate of the season last night at the Kensington Congrega- tional church before a large crowd. George Beckett, James Ellsworth and Dr. M. H. Griswold acted as judges and awarded the decision to the neg- ative side, which was represented by C. W. Stevens and Harold Aspinwall, on three points, weight of argument, evident preparation and manner of delivery. * The affirmative side was upheld by A. L. Moffatt and J. F. Sho- T The question was “Resolved: “That the demand for an eight hour i Ihe Blue Hills road was brought to | aotice next and $300 was appropriat- pd to put it in passable condition.

The question for debate is ‘“‘Resolved: That the methods of prison disci- pline introduced by Warden Osborne in New York are better than the methods commonly practiced.” John Emerson and B. P. Moore will up- hold the affirmative side while C. F. Lewis and Earl Lewis will argue negatively. 'To Hold Sale.

Issue Call This Week, At the weekly meeting of the board of selectmen to be hela Thursday eve- ning the matter of issuing a call for a special town meeting will be con- sidered and it is likely that by Sat- urday the notice will be posted. The selectmen were obligated by the vo- ters at the annual town meeting to call a special gession not later than December 15 to decide on the matter of renewing the contract for street lighting with the United FElectric Light and Water company. The matter of increasing the num- ber of street lights is also to be taken up at this time. Applications for over twenty new lights have been made and the selectmen will report as to how many additional lamps they be- lieve the town requires. Place for Wade.

He is spending much of his time in New York on business connected with the Bristol Brass company and his conntemplated venture, and he has but little to say for publication. In Bristol the opinion is held that Mr. Rockwell's scheme will make an opening for John F. Wade, who re- signed as general superintendent of the New Departure factories a short time after Rockwell's removal of president. Mr., Wade left ostensibly to take a place as manager of the Bristol Brass company’s plant, but there is a feeling in the neighboring city that Mr. Rockwell is holding him for a place uas superintendent of a business which will be in competition with the New Departure's trade. Information secured from sources considered authoritative indicate that immediate future a small plant for hardening ball bearings will be constructed on the land purchased by Mr. Rockwell 'and by Spring & large building will be erected.

Des- pite this showing, agriculture taken as a whole, has not prospered. It is agreed that there must be changes, | which may be centered about three things: (1) better agriculture, markets and (3) better financing. “Better agriculture, is fairly well taken care of through the work of the department of agriculture, in the activities of the farming associations and by the schools and colleges. But, it has been clearly shown that bet- ter agriculture depends upon an ade- | quate system of finance.

Got to Be Bridged. “Between the farmer and the con- sumer there is a great commercial and financial gap. In the mercantile world this gap between the producer nd the consumer is being apidly by the establishment of the “ccessary machinery of branches and gents.
