Berlin News ALL IN' READINESS TOR ENTERTAINMENT Pleasing Program Will Be Pre- sented by Improvement League | ~AUSTIN'S B 00KS AUDITED Report Promises Vindication of For- mer Tax Collector—Selectmen Are Acting As Fence Viewers Under Connecticut Statutes—Other Items. At 8:15 o'clock this evening the membership of the Kensington Gram- mar School Improvement League will present the final entertainment which will be given under the direction of Miss Lillian Adele Bassett and Miss " Adele Dolores Murray. No admis- sions will be sold this evening, as the tickets-invitations were of necessity limited to the seating capacity of the hall. Friends of the league offered five dollar subscriptions, and more than a few who are interested in the efforts of the young people have paid one dollar for one admission. The dances, which will be offered under Miss Emily Alice O’Keefe's direction, should prove interesting. Miss O’Keefe'’s direction of the English In- terlude in the recent Shakespearean Masque ‘“‘Caliban,” was largely re- onstble for the groups receiving ,. first prize, awarded Monday evening " by the producers of the pageant. The children of rooms seven and 1t will offer their folk-dances, also, and the townspeoples are asked for the appreciation they have always so generously given. The dances have in them little of aesthetic value, they are but the expression of the super- abundant energy possessed by all, hence have a very definite place in those public schools which are meant for the service of children’s needs. The green tickets mark the re-) served chairs. George Garrity, Jo- seph Trehy and Albert Chapman will | take care of the center aisle, Arthur McKeon and Richmond Colley the left slde aisle and Robert Ritchie and George Mogulski the right side aisle. & The reserved be roped off with silken lil If the weather continues unpropi- tious, umbrellas will be checked by one of the older boys. A k will be provided from the car into the hall and arrangements have . been made with the Connecticut company to stop the 8:10 o’clock cars in front of hall rather than at J. corner.

Atwater and George Sullivan, have about com- pleted the work of auditing the tax books of Elmer E. Austin, the former collector, and it is understood but few discrepencies have appeared. In Atwater today stated that the audit had shown the ex-collec- tor’s books to be in good shape. Dur- ing the past seven years as tax col- lector, Mr. Austin has handled close to $200,000 and according to the audit as it now stands there is an apparent shortage in the collections of $44.66. The audit on the books of three years showed more collected than required and on two other years a shortage existed. There are two other books on which the auditors expected to complete work today. The books audited have been turned over to Tax Collector C. F. Lewis together with the summar- ies. It is understood that the auditors re- ap- in- { port of the pointed | vestigate In tion special committee at the town meeting to the tax accounts. connection with the of Mr. Austin’s accounts it may be said that back taxes totaling about $23,000 are owing the town of Berlin dating back many years.

Mr. Dean, who claims he has done all in reason in an effort to settle the trouble, hav- ing placed his own fence in proper condition, has sought the aid of the selectmen to decide the matter. He alleges that McMahon pays no atten- tion to his demand that the bound- ary fence be put in proper condition.

Automobile Abandoned. N. L. Beckley this morning ported that a large touring car, evi- dently the property of out of town parties, has been abandoned at his | place in Beckley Quarter. According to Mr. Beckley’s statement made to- day to First Selectman Gibney, the car was driven into his yard Wednes- day evening, and the driver, who was accompanied by a young woman, asked permission to leave the car in his shed for a few hour: The re- quest was granted, but up to noon today the owner had not appeared to claim the car. Fearing that the au- jtomoblle had been stolen and after- i wards abandoned Mr. Beckley com- municated with Selectman Gibney who is working on the case. Notes.

Plainville News SETTLE GLAIM FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES | | | 1 | Insurance People Relmburse Town ! for Constable David’s Bills 60V. HOLGOMB i FUNERAL | State’s Chief Executive Warm Per- | sonal Friend of Judge -Neal—Ex- pect Public Bequests—First Return From Compensation Insurance, Admitting its liability for injuries sustained by police officers during the performance of duty, the Aetna Life Insurance company has settled with the town for the claim presented by the selectmen for medical attendance ; jor Constable Henry David, who was stabbed while attempting to arrest two Italians several weeks ago. The | company forwarded a check for $22, ! the amount expended by the tawn for | doctor and hospital charges for the | cfficer. Had the constable been un- | able to work for more than ten days | after he was waunded the company | would have paid the usual compen- | ! sation called for by the employers’ mation given by its representatives. The settlement is the first return the town has receilved far insurance under the law. It has insured all employes, including school teachers, firemen and constables and is fully otected in case any of them are injured. There was some question whether the company would recog- in Constable David's | case owing ta the fact that when he attempted to make the arrests he was not on duty. The constables have no regular time for their work and as i they depend on fees from arrests for their campensation, except in cases | where the selectmen assign them to patrol the center, and there was some doubt here as ta whether the com- | pany would admit its liability only | in cases where it could be shown that the constables were performing cer- tain duties under instructions from the officials. The settlement of the claim in David’s case indicates that the con- stables are protected at all times. Governor at Funeral, With Governar Marcus H. Holcomb | and a number of other prominent reople in addition to local friends in | attendance, the funeral of Frank S. Neal was held this afternoon at 2 c’clock from his residence on East| Main street. Members of Frederick jodge, A, F. and A. M. and represen- tatives of the Shriners and Knight Templars were also present. Gover- nor Holcomb was a personal friend of Judge A1 for a great many years and the e's chief executive came here ta his respects to his memory. That Judge Neal had many friends and admirers was indicated by the rumerous floral tributes which literally buried the casket. There were flowers from business and lodge associates and many persaonal friends. The services at the house were con- ducted by Rev. R. H. Burton, rectar of the Church of Our Saviour, and at the grave in West cemetery, the Masonic ceremonies were celebrated. Made Public Bequests- Although Judge Neal’s will has not been offered for probate, close friends state that it will be shown to contain some public bequests. Judge Neal for years was prominent in the Plain- ville cemetery association and it w said today that some of his money will be used for improvements at the as. to | pay East Berlin has received an invitation from Robin Hood camp of Middle- town to attend a class adoption this evening.

Judgment for William J. Sande: of New Brittain was rendered yester- day in the court of common pleas by Judge Markham, who on Wednesda; heard the testimony in the suit brought as a sequel to a collision in Plainville in which autos owned by Mr. Sanders and Roger W. Egan of New Britain were involved several months ago. The court gave Sanders damages of $72.35. Egan brought suit against Sanders and the latter instituted a counter ac- tion, each of the men declaring that the other was responsible for the ac- cident. The suits were originally tried before the city court of New Britain, Sanders getting a judgment from which Egan appealed. Judge Mark- ham'’s ruling was in accord with the decision of the lower court. He dis- missed Egan’s suit and in the action brought by Sanders gave a verdict for the plaintiff. After The townspeople get impatient over the failure of the United Electric Light Water company to.install the thirty new in- candescents ordered some time ago by the board of selectmen and the local officials are receiving many inquiries as to the cause of the delay in getting the lights in position. The selectmen have taken matter with the company on occasions but were advised that owing to their inability to get the material required for the reflectors the lighting people have been unable to fill the order. Poles to suppourt the lights have been sent here, although they have not yet been placed in po- sition, and representatives of the company declare that they are expect- ing the materfal for the lighting ap- purtances daily.
