E——————————————————————————————————————————————————— e Berlin News WILL GIBNEY RETIRE | FROM POLITICS Now? Refuses to Continne as a Member of-Republican Gommittee SERVED TWENTY-FOUR YEARS Peath Claims Former East Berlin Res- ident, Mrs. Sarah Willard—Obtain Clue After a Year’s Work—To Lec- ¢ ture on “Russia”—Items in Brief. The local political ball was started ¥olling last night, when the republi- cang held their caucus in the town hall. Only a corporal's guard was present-and the business was done in a quick manner. The surprise of the evening was First Selectman William H. Gibne refusal to continue as a member of the town committee. The matter was discussed considerably about town this morning and many people are wondering what his action forecasts. Mn Gibney was intqr- viewed and gave as his reason that his health will not permit him to fill the various offices he has at present. Al- democrats never captured a place on any ticket, only when a minority office must have been filled by the follow- ers of Thomas Jefferson. Other changes nbted on the repub- lican town committee this morning were the addition of C. J. Muller, En- rico Polo, George Alling, Charles Johnson, and Henry Deming. These men with the old members: William H. Webster, chairman; F. Bacon, R. O Clark, J. M. Taylor, William Fisher and William Luby -comprise the present committee. Mr. Deming succeeds Mr. Gibney from the - fifth district Enrico Polo succeeds George Greene. Dr.-R. M. Griswold and William H. Webster were elected delegates to the state convention and and Frederick I, Norton were chosen delegates to the congressional district convention. A spirit of optimism pre- vailed among the members present and it is expected the party will be victorious in local as well as in state and national politics. Mrs. Sarah Willard. Word was received in East Berlin this morning of the death of Mrs. Sar- ah Willard which occurred at the home of her son Edward in Malden, Mass., vesterday. The cause of death was given as general brealkdown, Mrs. Wil- lard was a native of East Berlin and was about eighty-five vears old. Mrs. Willard was formerly Miss Sarah Pen- field and her ancestors took a prom- inent part in’the Revolutionary war. She was the oldest member of the Berlin Congregational chirch, keeping up her affiliation, since her removal from East Berlin about fifteen years ago. The funeral will be held from the Fast Berlin Methodist Episcopal church tomorrow afternoon at 0 o’clock, Rev. W Manship, the pa tor officiating. Tnterment will take place in the Wilcox cemetery, Bast Berlin.

Back Taxes Worry. Tnere is a feeling among some of the residents that the law regarding the rayment of back taxes, should be al- tered and the case of A. A. Weldon is talken for example. Tn 1893, prop- erty owned by Mrs. William Ilton was licred for the payment of part of the tax which was not paid. Iater Mrs. Elton sold ths property o Lunham, wha 1n turn ssld Weldon.

JOB GOES BEGGING Men Suggested for the Position Smile and Shake Their and Hills to Recpresent State Convention. Heads—Carter | Town at Without giving him an opportunity to express himself on the matter the republicans at their caucus last even- mg sclected Representative T. Carter for chairman of committee, adjourning a appointment Ldwagd the town soon as the was made. The chair- man was named after the caucus had spent considerable time trying to get a new leader for the party, 1. H. Hills having declined to serve again, and the title vas tacked onto Mr. Carter after it appeared that adjournment vould have to be taken without a scttlement of this feature of the meet- ing. None of the men in the hall seemed to want the place. In fact they per- sistently declared that they would re- fuseean election because of the ar- nature of the duties and the time it requires. Pleas were made to several to accept but all proved non- susceptible to coaxing with the ex- ception of Mr. Carter and even he claimed that he would have declined tc serve had the caucus given him a chance to collect his wits before an adjournment was taken. The caucus was attended by but a handful of the faithful. S. 8. Gwil lim served as chairman and N. ¥ Clark was clerk. Representative Carter and E. H. Hills were named to represent the Plainville republicans at the state and congressional dis- -trict conventions to be held in Hart- ford on April 11 and 12. In making their choice the republicans followed a long established custom, it having been the rule for a number of years ! to give preferenec to the town's rep- sentative in the general assembly nd the chairman of the town com- mittee when choosing convention | delegates. | The selection of the town commit- tee head proved a problem that for a time appeared almost impossible of solution. Mr, Hills announced that it would be impossible for him to con- tinue at the helm for the next two vears. Speakers attempted to prevail upon him to accept a re-election but he was firm and his resignation was cepted with regret. Mr. Hills ex- 1lained that he is planning to spend some time next fall in the South and as he will be absent from town around campaign time he thought it advis- able to have someone else appointed. The place was then tendered to F. L. Benzon, E. Clark and John E. Lamb, but they couldn’t see it and it was finally planned to have Mr. Hills secure his own successor. This course was practically decided on when C. H. Calor arose and nominated Mr. Car- | ter. No sooner had the chairman an- nounced the selection than A. H. Con- cell successfully moved to adjourn and the voters filed out of the hall almost before the significance of the action had dawned on the new leader. Mr. Carter said this morning that he would heve turned down the sug- th trader, has taken a five year lease of the livery barns owned by the New- ton estate. Fle also reserves the right to renew it for another five years. He will carry en the business himself. Plans for a settlement of the bank- rupt’'s estate will now be considered, all of the selectman’s proper haviug been turned into cash. The creditor expect but a few cents on the dollar when their accounts are disposed of. (¢} New Teacher Engaged. Chairman A. I. Rogers of the school board’s teachers’ committee this morning announced the selection of Miss Lebarre of Summerville, N. J., to succeed Miss IZdith Whitney as head of mixed grade three and four The new teacher will report for duty Monday when the Spring term begins.
