HARDWARE COMPANY, 279 Main St ! Berlin News _ 1§ VITAL FACTOR . INTOWN'S LIFE American Paper Goods Company Has Heavy Mail MAKES OFFICE THIRD CLASS Moore Family Loses Postmastership In Kensington After Having Held It For Twenty-eight Years—Fores- + ters Elect—Briefs. The name of W. W. Fagan was sent into the Senate yesterday afternoon by President Wilson and it is expected that within forty-eight hours DMr. Fagan will receive his appointment as postmaster in Kensington. The iterm of Miss Marjorie Moore, the resent incumbent, expires on Sunday, but it is thought now she will retain the place until after the holidays. Miss M@ore will leave the office Wwith regret for the postmastership has been in the Moore family for the past twenty-eight years, For the first twelve years the office was in the Mcore homestead, which vas then located near the factory of the American Paper Goods company. At that time the salary depended on “e2s, that is the v was proportionate io the busincss done. About twently vears ago, the Paper Goods company's trade bezan to develop rapidly ond eonsequently the mail in the office be- came heavier, so approximately six- tgen years ago, the office was moved to its present location. Two y later the amount of mail was so that the office was raised from fourth to the third class, which t the " is ot present. At first the fixed at $1,300, but c} of the increase in the we fioods mail, it has been roisod nfaximum amount of a third office, $1,600. The increases to $100. held the office until Mi postmistres: death in 1908. rs ties in December of that.year.

Moore, father of the present avpointed in 1907 and began the dGu- - Stev- en the G. O. P. fell be- ore the democratic party in the last presidential election, it was felt that Miss Moore was serving her last term and this was verified when Congress- man Lonergan recommended W. W. Fagan as her successor. Miss Mooie has no plans for the future. Mr. Fa- gan expects to begin his duties about Postmaster Henry L. Porter’s regime at the Berlin postoffice will ex- pire in July, 1916, and his reappoint- ment is not expected, for he, as well as Miss Moore, was recommended by a Republican congressman. Mr. Por- ter has held the office since 1899, hav- ing succeeded Charles Strickland. It is generally thought about town that A. B. Goodrich will be his successor. Mr. Goodrich has held the office once before, being appointed for one term during the administration of President Grover Cleveland. At that time the postoffice was in the store of J. W. Woodruff. This office is also third class and the salary is fixed at $1,500. It is not nominally in that class, but every month the Berlin Construction company sends out tons of circulavs and to this fact is attributed the of- fice’s standing. Foresters Elect. Court Mattebessett, F. of A. held its annual meeting last night and clected officers for the coming year. The following were chosen: Chief Ranger—W. J. Fagan. Sub-Chief Ranger—George Green.

Dec. 17.—The Iowa rupreme court yesterday declared that a corporation has a soul when it af- firmed a decision awarding Henry L. White $2,5600 damages from the In- ternational Text * Book Company, which he charged with malicious prosecution, since a corporation has no soul or personality. “Modern tendencies are more and more toward regarding a corporation | as possessing a soul” said the court's cecision, The Clean Plainville Senior woodward.—David Wilson.

Trolley Company Censured. The townspeople are still indignant with the Connecticut company over the manner in resuming transporta- tion. When the cars were able reach the switch in Kensington it was thought the work would be push- ed rapidly through Ridge. Instead the men drawn and sent to New Britain. I. Jan- W. W. were with ed but after reaching the top of Flan- nery’s hill it was stopped again. Another thing that is meeting with general disfavor is the method of di tributing the removed snow from the iracks. It is thrown in the middle of the road and as a result drive find it hard. This morning 3 at 13 o'clock a sleigh belonging to the Olm- stead-Thompson company of Kensing- ton came to grief near Upson’s corr- er. The sleigh was hauling 2 load of pipe from the freizht house. While proceeding up the hill on Farmington road the going was so uneven that the sleigh tilted, and shifted the weight of the pipe to one side. with the result that the runner collapsed. ens Hen P endowed v a | The plows also pile the snow up on “}¥en busin-c and a genial | either side of the track. making it aisposition M filled her Au- | almost impossible to drive a sleigh jtics to the « of all the|over the streets.

Granting in part the appeal of the | board of assessors for a reduction on ! the revised grand list of the town for 1914, the state board of equalization has notified Town Clerk R. C. Usher that the increase in the valuation of Plainville property will be but $100,- 000 instead of $150,000, the size of the raise originally decided on. The action of the board is the re- sult of a protest made several months ago by Chairman F. T. Wheeler of the local assessors. Mr. Wheeler argued that last year the assessors made a complete revision of the grand list and that taxable property here ! was listed for its full valuation. He diq not consider the state board jus- tified in making any increase. The state tax commissioner and his associates increased the grand list generally throughout the state, an- nouncing that their purpose was to cover the appropriation made for the | for the benefit of the library fund. The | ©°Urt that there is $42,000 i course will be presented by the Red | °Nal property and he consid Path bureau of Boston. This organ- | wise to divide all but $12,000 ization is regarded as one of the [YMe. The court allowed th great entertainment bureaus in the | Ministrator to arrange for the country. It has in its ranks of enter- bution and left to his discretiol | tainers a number of artists, interna- | taking up with the banks of th tionally known, and greatly in de- |ter of granting interest on t the 0ol enumeration grant and highway improvements. At the time the Plainville protest was made no as- | surance was given that any relief would be granted and the receipt of the notice sent to the town clerk was a pleasant surprise, although of course the assessors still hold out that the entire increase should have been crased. Plainville fared better than most of | the towns, however, the board hav- ing declined to grant the request of | the representatives from most places | in the state. The fact that this town is no long- er entitled to share in the school enumeration grant, its grand list hav- | ing passed the small town mark, | probably had some bearing on the ac- tion of the board. Plainville is a heavy | loser because of the withdrawal of state assistance in the operation of its schools and Mr, Wheeler argued to the commissioners that it was incon-, sistent and unfair to charge the town | for the school appropriation and at; the same time deprive it of the share it usually received.
