Berlin Net $IG THE HOUNDS ON DELINQUENTS’ TRAIL Berlin Is Determined to Collect Back Taxes and Means Business §6,684 IS DUE THE TOWN ‘Workmen ‘While Have Crushed Loading Rails on Car— Bohan-Reynolds Nuptials—Grange Officers Installed. Fingers The second session of the annual town meeting was held last night in the town hall and when Colonel Charles M. Jarvis called the gather- ing to order, sixteen citizens were ! present. i Tis assembly was a runover | pensation should be of such size as to cause the work to be done im- mediately. The next matter for discussion was the carrying on the town reports of intangible assets. Chairman Deming of the finance board said there is con- siderable difference in what the com- mittee found due to the town and what the annual town report showed. For illustration, he 'said in 1905 the former found there 'is still due the town from that year $113.78, the latter showed $1175 still due. Con- sequently there is $1,000 missing from the accounts of that year. He also called attention to other similar dis- crepancies. Major Wilcox then offered the suggestion that all uncollected personal tax should be eliminated from the assets of the town. The town report gives the assets as approx- imediately $20,000, while the finance board gives them as approximately $14,000. The matter will be investi- gated by proper officials and reported at the next meeting. In order to expedite the business of clearing up the old accounts, Majér Wilcox suggested a’ time be set for a report from the tax collector and the following was added to the resolu- tion before it was presented to the meeting: “The collector to make a report on April 18, 1916, at 8 o’clock, in town hall.”” Major Wilcox moved the acceptance of the finance board’s report and the resolution. The mo- from the meeting and was called to | tion was carried unanimously and the receive a report from the board concerning back taxes. the collection of Francis Shaw, the town read the minutes of the pre- vious meeting relating to the ques- ton for discussion. Francis Deming, chairman of the finance board, then reported for that body. The committee had made a careful inspection of all tax lists from 1888 until 1914 and found there was still due the town from that source $6,684.46. The report was carefully tabulated and contains the names of the delinquents, the year of their failure to pay and the amount due. The tax is question is the uncollected property tax and, according to the report, there are 250 individuals Jiable for different amounts. The amounts vary from $22.46 in 18S8 to $1,452.59 In 1913. The question was here raised Bs to whether any of the bills were cutlawed but Mr. Deming replied that pccording to law, a biil against liened property can never be outlawed and the reports of the various tax-collec- tors show that llens have been placed on all property on which the tax has not been collected. Chairman Jarvis then asked the Anance board if it had any suggestion to make regarding the collecting of the taxes. Claude Stevens in reply to Colonel Jarvis, presented the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved: That the prewent tax- collector be and he hereby instructed to secure at once all rate books from former tax col- lectors and proceed to collcct 1l such unpaid taxes as appear in ihc rate books of said former tax-collectors, nccording to provision of Charter 27, Public Acts of 1915. Compensation for collecting unpaid taxes in all lists previous to 1914 shall be five per cent on the amount collected.” Chapter 27, which is referred to in the resolution, gives a tax-collector power to collect such taxes and pro- vides ways and means for so doing. When asked by a citizen why the compensation v fixed at five per cent., Major Wilcox said that matter had been discussed and this amount v-onld not be cqual to the interest due on the unpaid taxes and for that rea- gon, he thought “the laborer should be worthy of his hire.” and the com- clerk, finance | Meeting adjourned until the time stat- {ed above. Bohan-Reynolds. Lawrence P. Bohan of Southington and Miss Mary A Reynolds of Ken- | sington were united in marriage at St. | Paul's Catholic church this after- noon at 3 o’clock by Rev. J. C. Bren- nan, the pastor. The couple were at- | tended by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown. ' After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride’s aunt, | Mrs. William Fogarty. The couple left on a honyemoon trip and upon their return they will reside in South- ington. Grange Officers Installed. The recently elected officers of the grange were installed at a meeting The installation was conducted by Robert Andrews of New Britain, as- sisted by Miss Hattie Andrews and a degree team of twelve members. During the evening following out the custom of the grange of presenting a gift to all “newlyweds,” Mr. and Mrs. Louis Goodrich were presented with a silver carving knife and fork. After the installation exercises were con- cluded refreshments were served. Have Fingers Crushed. Antonio Quartetta of 323 Winter street, Hartford, and Joseph Chinano of 100 North street, Hartford, bers of the construction gangz of the New Yok, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, had their fingers badly crushed this morning at 11 o’clock, when a rail which they were loading on a flat car slipped and pinned their hands underneath it. The accident took place north of the depot Alarmed by their cries, fel- low workmen rushed to their as- sistance and after removing the rail summoned Dr. M. H. Griswold. The middle finger of Quartetta’s left hand was badly crushed while his compan- jon fared worse. The middle finger of his left hand was crushed and the ring finger was so badly smashed that Dr. Griswold ordered the man re- moved to the New Britain General hospital, where he amputated the wounded digit.

The Visitors come here with the reputa- tion of having one of the fastest teams in Hartford but the local boys feel confident they will be on the big end of the score when the final whistle blows. The team had a fast and spirited practice against the second team on Monday night and the team work is much better as a result. Cap- tain Gibney was unable to join in the practice on account of a bad gash on his right eye, received while playing out of town last Saturday but he will positively appear in the lineun to- morrow night. With Gibney and George Bunce in the forward posi- tions, Manager McCarrol claims he | has a pair which will compare with | any in this vicinity. Burdick will be substitute forward, and in case of necessity will help out the others. Nourse will play center. In previous games he has shown marked ability and it is expected that he will give a good account of himself in the con- test. The guard positions will be filled by “Jake” Rawlings and Mc- Keon and the visitors will have to have fast and husky forwards to over- come the opposition of ‘this pair. Austin will be substitute guard. A preliminary game between the | second team and the Acorns of Ken- sington will be played prior to the big game. This contest will be of much interest as all the players are sons of { Berlin, The hall has been arranged so that fans can be accommodated In the balcony and on the stage.

Gibney was placed under the X-ray this morning. His case has not been alagnosed theroughly as yet. J. W. Woodruft is improving slowly | from his attack of grip. W. H. Griswold is confined with a severe attack of grip. Mrs. E. W. Mildrum entertained the members of the Iast Berlin Progres- sive Reading circle at her home last | night. ‘The annual meeting of the Sons of | | Veterans association which was sched- | uled for tomorrow night at the home ! of Judge George G.

Opencd by National Conference on Immigration and Americanization. Philadelphia, Jan. 19.—The national conference on immigration and Amer- icanization which plans to unite in a nation-wide organization individuals and societies interested in the welfare and the problems of the immigrant in this country, opened a two days’ symposium here today. Official representatives of many states, social workers, educators, econ- omists, federal officials from the im- migration bureau and others interest- ed in the object of the conference are among the delegates. INCREASE IN WAGES. Allentown, Pa., Jan. 19—An increase of wages ranging from 7 to 10 per cent., it was announced today, has been given the 2,000 employes of the Northampton plant of the Atlas Port- Jand Cement company, near here. The increase hecomes effective February 1. The company also operates mills at Hudson, N. Y., and Hannibal, Mo. | | Mother and Sister Declared Young Man Competent Affairs—Can’t Get Help for Factory —Install New Lights—Briefs, to Handle Own Orders for the removal of Mrs. Rose A. Russell as conservator over her con, Thomas G. Russell, and the res- the toration to its owner of young | man’s estate were issued today from the probate court, Judge George R. Byington having decided that Russell is now competent to handle his own business affairs. The action of the court was taken on application of Russell’s mother, which was opposed by the young man’'s wife. The petition was heard Monday af- ternoon but decision was reserved un- til today. Several witnesses including Russell's sister, testified in favor of the application, declaring that the young man is seemingly capable of iooking after his estate. His mother asked to be removed principally be- cause of ill health, although she ex- pressed the opinion, through F. S. Neal, her representative, that there is no need of having a conservator at this time. Judge W. F. Mangan of New Britain, acting for Russell's wife, 7The lawyer argued that Russell is not capable of looking after his own in- terests and unless some one more competent that he looked after the estate, his wife would be in danger of becoming a dependent. The young voman had no witnesses, permitting her case to rest on the arguments of her counsel. Judge Byington ruled that there v.as a preponderance of evidence in Russell's favor. In fact there was no tectimany against him and the court had no reason for refusing the appli- cation. It was reported today that the order may be followed by litigation that will insure Mrs. Russell’s support from her | husband’s estate. Can’t Get Help. Ground was broken this morning on | the property of A. F. Rockwell for the factory building to be constructed for the Rockwell-Drake company. The excavating and cement work is to be done under the direction of George A. Rowe of Bristol, and the company is anxious to have a force of fifty men on the job by the end of the week. Owing to its inability to secure laborers the company started but about fifteen men this morning. The managers are pinning their faith in efforts that are being made in Meri- den to secure help. Owing to strikes in the manufacturing plants in that city where there are many unem- ployed and Mr. Rowe has sent an appeal there for help. It is planned to finish the founda- ticn within six weeks, although the labor shortage may delay the work. Digging is not difficult on the Rock- well property as the soil is of fine sand. The sand will be used in the cement mixture which will serve as a floor in the cellar. Install New Lights. The United Electric Light and Water company is substituting lights of eighty candle power for those of sixty candle power which are now in use, complying with the terms of the new ten year lighting contract re- cently signed by the board of select- men. In connection with the installa- tion of new lamps. Selectman John- son today appealed to the townspeople ta report to him without delay when any of the lights are not burning. At the present time lights are out some- | times for four or five days before the selectmen are advised and consequent- I ly the town loses part of the service[ which its contract calls for. The intimation that the Connecti- cut company proposes to furnish six- \leen candle power lights on Whit- ing street instead of those eighty | which will burn on other highways |is causing the selectmen some con- cern. The company has to provide ten sixteen candle power incandes- cents on that street to comply with | a court order issued at the time of j the extension of the trolley tracks to | | Southington. [ | " When the town changed its sys- item of lighting a few years ago, | abandoning the old Welsbach lamps, | the Connecticut Light and Power “company induced the voters to give them the contract, promising at the ,time to increase the candle power in i the Whiting street lamps. It did | so. Since the United Electric Light and Water company purchased the franchise no change was made until ! the expiration of the contract. The | corporation now declares that it will give no lights free on Whiting strest |and consequently the Connecticut company will probably put in the cld sixteen candle power bulbs, getting | the current from its trolley wires. This may mean that when cars are in the vicinity of the street the lights will be so dim that the highway | s not illuminated. Although the selectmen do not know just what the company’s plans are they will insist that the sixteen candle power be furnished at all times if the trolldy people refuse to make a deal with the lighting com- | pany whereby the modern street lights will be retained. ‘Woman’s Club - Entertainment. | Halwood Robert Manlove, a dis- tinguished character impersonator, known on the stage as “the man of many faces,” will appear at the Town hall tomorrow night, furnishing the second of a series of entertainments | which the Woman’s club has arranged | for the benefit of the library fund The first was given January 6th by | the Marigold quartet and was an ar- | tistic treat. If Manlove's program | equals it in merit, local entertainment | seekers are promised a most enjoy- able evening. Manlove delineates a varfety of | characters and he is said to be one | of the most versatile entertainers ap- pearing in public. His program is snappy and interesting and in every city where he has performed he | scored triumph after triumph. Plainville people will therefore he | afforded an opportunity tomorrow night to enjoy a display of the tal ents of an artist of recognized abil- ity and at the same time help the | library cause along. | The Woman’s club is deserving of | the co-operation of the people of the town in its efforts to get Plainville a | library, worthy of the name, and a capacity audience should greet Man- | before a local crowd. To Celebrate Anniversary. be celebrated in a fitting manner on | February 1, the members at their meeting last evening having decided to observe the event in elaborate fashion. Committees are now at work on the arrangements. Tt is expected | that there will be a number of visit- ing grangers from neighboring towns and nothing will be left undone to make the evening one of keen enjoy- ment for them. At last night’s meeting reports were received from the delegates to the meeting of the State Grange recently | held in Hartford. A program of a musical and literary character was | given after the business session. Capital Stock Increased. Local people are interested in the announcement of the increase in the capital stock of the Trumbull-Van- derpool company of Bantam, which is making arrangements to go into the manufacturing business on a more ex- tensive scale than ever. The corporation yesterday filed arti- cles with the secretary of state in- creasing its capital from $69,000 to $92,000. All of the additional shares, 222 in number, par value $100, are subscribed, according to the cer- tificate. Brief Items.
