Each was asked his and Py ir f] | preliminary "appointed a position on the matter, but all have re- fused to discuss the question. How- ever, many voters are anxious to know if they are in a receptive mood. ,This morning Francis Deming was interviewed on the rumor that his friends were working for him as the next representative and he said: “I have Leen a resident of the town all my lifc and have tried to work al- ways for the best interests of the community. If I can have the nomi- nation without any personal effort to secure it, I will be glad to represent the town in the next legislature but I absolutely refuse to enter into a com- pelition for the honor.

The consensus of opinion about town is that either of the three would malke an ideal representative from the town zna if there should be a caucus, it would probably be decided by a very close vote. All have served the town in various capacities and have shown a desire to benefit the com- munity at all times. Berlin has sent excellent men to the legislature the past three terms in the persons of Claude Stevens, William H. Webster and Dr. R. M. Griswold and it is felt that cither of the three mentioned would prove an able successor to Dr. Griswold, who is the present incum- Lent. Democratic Caucus, \ccording to John A.

Deciding to force the railroad to its hand, the directors of the and Improvement associ tion is April held evening in the club rooms in Odd Fellows block voted to file a petition sion show 3usiness at meeting last with the public utilities commi: for gates to protect the Iast .\I(’\in| street crossing, the pleas for minimizing the danger to the “yellow building” in New Haven hav- ing failed to produce the desired re- many sent sults. The officers of the local association are preparing a strong case and when the matter is brought before the util- ities board they will have some weighty arguments to support their claims. They have been in communi- cation with many motorists through- out the state who have occasion to drive over crossings and have their | backing in the effort to force the rail- road to install gates. The company has objected to this change because the length of the crossing would make it a difficult proposition. Some efforts have becn made to minimize the danger, but the orders have not been lived up to and autoists go over the crossing with ex- treme hazard. Tired of protesting to the company, the Business Men's as- sociation has finally decided to put the mater before the utilities board. The petition for an order for the in- | stallation of gates is now in circula- tion and will probably be sent to Hartford in a few days. Besides making this directors delved into many other matters last night and the meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, w: one of the most interesting sessions the board has had in a long time. The committee in charge of the an- nual banquet of the association re- ported that the affair will probably be held on Wednesday, May 3. The members are now making a deter- mined effort to get speakers, and while some of thoe who will partici- pate in the after-dinner exercises have ! been selected, the committee is not yet prepared to announce its list. The reports indicate that the banquet wiil be a success and will undoubtedly at- tract the usual crowd. The association’s utilities commit- too advised that matter of making repairs on some of the highways had been taken up with the board of se- lectmen. The board also voted to communi- cate with the state’s senators and congressmen advising them that it in favor of natlonal preparedness. Regarding the condition of side- walks, the directors were told that the Trumbull Electric company’s offer to give away cinders for use in this connection still holds good. There considerable room for improvement in the walks in front of many home; particularly during rainy weather, and the liberal use of cinders would no doubt be appreciated by the public. The inauguration of a “swat the campaign is to take place in a week or two. In common with other business men’s associations through- out the country, the local organiza- tion plans to get after Mr. Fly, and | the townspeople will he asked to help in swatting him. Literature in con- | nection with the campaign will be distributed before the opening, and the co-operation of the children will be asked. The directors decided other clean-up week thi vious campaigns for a spotless town have been most succ ul and the results are more apparent this ye: According to the director, barrels and boxes are now used as depositories refuse on properties where tin cans waste paper and the like were at one time thrown about in a haphazard fashion. The improved conditions are gratifying to the officers of the sociation and they believe that fur. ther progress will be made this year. The campaign will probably be held about the first of May. Many bills concerning preparedne and the conduct of business which | ¢ have been presented in f served as topics of discussi as night, and the directors secured con- siderable information from the talk.
