The association had as its guests thc local veterans, members of Stanley Post, G. A. R. of New Britain and the Stanley Relief Corps of New Britain. A large number of townspeople also ttended. The hall was prettily dec- orated with flags and bunting. A pleasing program, consisting readings, solos and addresses was carried out. The meeting opened with a medley of popular airs by the Phenix orches- tra. Mrs. Cora H. Eddy, president of the Women'’s Relief Corps, recited a poem entitled ““Bill.” Mrs. Walmsley of East Berlin favored with solos and her work so pleased the audience she S#as forced to respond to several en- cores. Willlam Latham, past com- mander of Stanley Post, gave a vivid portrayal of Sherman’s march to the sea and S. H. Woods of New Britain gave a personal reminiscence of the battle of Gettysburg. Mrs. Bertha Burr Sharp of Kensington gave a @2ding, which evoked much applause. The feature of the evening was a patriotic address by Frederick V. Streeter, commander of Stanley Post. Mr. Streeter's address follows: “Mr. President, Sons of Veterans association of Berlin—It gives me pleasure to be present here this eve- ing with comrades of Stanley Post, G. A. R., of New Britain, to greet you. Wherever there is found an organiza- tion with the principles of patriotism g, it, we find the Grand Army of the Republic reaching out its hand in wel- come- We appreciate the invitation .vou extended to us and are happy to encourage you in your efforts in de- veloping patriotism among the young people of your town. You are Sons of Veterans, the blood and sinew of your fathers, who offered their lives on the field of battle in defense of the na- tidil during the years 1861-1865. There are here many who will be pleased to entertain you with reminiscences far better than I could do. Not wishing to weary you, I have summarized a few thoughts upon the subject of pa- triotism which I will now present, “First—Patriotism 'has in it a spir- The beautiful ROYA BakingPowder AbsolutelyPure Insures the most delicious and healthful food NO ALUM-NO PHOSPHATE mountains, hills and villages of New England, the rolling prairies of the west and the sunny lands of the south, each appeals to all those who have lived among them. One who would be thrilled with the spirit of patriotism, must have as a part of the very tex- ture of nis body, and of his intellect, the scenes and traditions of his own land. “A second essential condition of true patriotism is a sense of responsi- bility in doing faithfully one’s day’'s werk. This stands before that which we commonly call our duty to our country; voting and taking part in public service for it is in the industry, ability and faithfulness of the great body of citizens, men, women, and ciildren, in meeting the daily de- mands of life, that build up the wealth, institutions and the character of people. “The third essential is that of pub- lic service. To this every citizen is bound to give some portion of his life, It may be an official position in town or city, as mayor, selectman or on the board of charity. There are times when the demand comes for courage and sacrifice, when in order to meet this duty, & man must withstand popular opinion for principles of truth and justice to his home and country. Again true patriotism recognizes the rights of, and our re- spect for other nations. ““We have learned in modern eoclety that the rights of the in- dividual are best protected by a recog- nition of ‘the rights of others. The nations of the world, or at least a part of them, are now learning the zesult of failing to respect this prin- ciple, terminating in the greatest con- flict to be recorded in history.

The program closed with the sing- ing of “The Star Spangled Banner,’ led by Mrs. Walmsley. After the pro- gram was finished, dancing was en- joyed. The younger people occupied ‘the floor for the modern dancing, but when it was announced that the next number would be a Virginia reel, the veterans present showed the younger generation the proper wa¥ to perform it Anniversary Day. Plans are completed for the ob- servation of the 203d anniversary of the organization of the Kensington Congregational church, which will be held in the church this evening.

Joseph Holt, of Kensington, who is employed as a carpenter by the Amer- ican Paper Goods company, received a letter from England the other day. The letter proved to be from one of the recruiting stations, ordering him to return to England and fight for the glory of the empire. While Mr. Holt has resided in this country for a num- ber of years, he has never taken out his citizenship papers and is conse- quently a British subject. At prescnt he is undecided whether he will obey the summons or apply for citizenship papers.

HAS NEW PROPOSITION Gives Town Right to End Ten Year | Contract in Five Years BACH LAMP T0 COST $19. Made of Incandcscents Will Candle Be should Contract Be Power Increased—Sclectmen May Report Favorably. Offering additional inducements for a renewal of the agreement for light- ing the streets, the United Electric Light and Water company submitted to the selectmen at their weekly meeting last evening a new propo- sition, which if accepted, will mean a considerable saving for the town. The company’s suggestion is that the town make a ten year contract, paying at the rate of $19 for each lamp, re- serving the privilege of terminating the agreement at the end of five years on condition that the company be patd the difference between the price quot- ed and that which the contract now in_force calls for. | The proposition is looked on with favor by the selectmen and they will probably recommend its adoption to the voters at the special town meeting to be held next Monday night. Besides reducing the price, the company agrees to increase the candle power from sixty to eighty and to give the town the advantage of any improve- ments in lamps that may be made during the life of the contract. Selectman Johnson this morning expressed the opinion that the com- pany would probably make no fur- ther concessions, He personally favors accepting the proposition submitted last night. { Under the conditions now existing ' the town pays $20 a year for each lamp in use. 'The company has ex- pressed a willingness to reduce the price to $19.50 on a five year agree- ment, although the candle power will not be increased, except at rate or under a ten year contract. As the town will this year use about 125 incandescents, the saving to be sained by a ten year contract would be close to $1,600, allowing for the addition of new lamps during that period. Besides there would be a big improvement in the manner in which the streets are illuminated. The company's proposition in real- ity is for a five year renewal at the rate now in force, the town to get a rebate of $1 for each lamp, provid- ing it continues the agreement for a ten year period. The Bristol and Plainville Tramway company has failed to submit figures and the two propositions advanced by the United Electric Light ana Water company will be the only bids put before the voters Monday night. New Street Lines. The selectmen are planning to call a meeting of property owners on Broad and Bohemia streets for the purpose of considering the acceptance of a layout for street lines prepared by Engineer Joseph N. McKernan, acting for the board. The survey of the streets was made at the request of N. S. Deane, one of ! the property owners, who sold land on the corner of Broad and Bohemia streets and wanted a record of the boundary lines before making the transfer. As is the case in several parts of the town, boundary stones and other marks intended to show the street lines have been lost and when side- walks are to be laid or the erection of buildings is planned the selectmen have difficulty in giving the property owners the information they desire. Consequently it is the intention to have a general survey made and maps drawn for records.

The first of these drawings turned over to the selectmen yesterday by Engineer McKernan. The map shows that to make both Broad and Bohemia streets satisfactory there will have to be slight cuts in some prop- erties. At the corner land will have to be taken from the Deane, Clark and Corbin places. The improvement to the street will increase the valuo of their property, however, to such an extent that it is not expected they will offer any objections to the ac- ceptance of the proposed lines. After action is taken on the the selectmen propose to have the engineer make surveys of other streets, preparing layouts that will re- move objectionable angles and other- wise improve their appearance, Land Not For New Company.

Mr. Rockwell has not as yet publicly divulged his plans for using the prop- erty bought in Plainville, although it is thought here that it will eventual- ly be chosen as a site for a plant which will manufacture ball bearings in competition with the New Depart- ure company. The Marlin company’s factory is lo- cated in New Haven and it is said to have enough property to permit of its expansion should business demands make the erection of new buildings necessary. Feared Fire From Wire.
