Doctors at the hospital give him an even chance for and as he has a rugged constitution his many friends expect that he will pull through the crisis. January to Be Open Month. Those that understand anything about the killing of a hog will readily understand what the old time butchers about the town have to say In regard ‘to the melt of the animal. A number have been butchering around the town the last few days and all declare that the condition of the melt indicates that the month of January will be an open one. From present indica- tions the statement will he more than a wild guess as the weather has been more like early spring than the usual bluster of winter. Today at the Churches.

Although invita- tions have been sent to friends Britain and Meriden the mem- bers of the club wish it that the affair is in no way limited to invitations and that it will he open to any who wish to attend..

The motive for the robbery in the shoe shop iz still in the dark as there appears to have been nothing taken. Results of a definite nature are - expected in a short time and then arrests will fol- low. Berlin Bricfs.

The regular monthly meeting of the Berlin Town school committee was held in the Town hall Tuesday evening. Wilcox after spend- re- On account of illness in the family President J. T. Molumphy was unable to be present, the meeting heing pre- sided over by S. M. Cowles, vice presi- | dent. The members had many suggestions for improvements in prevailing con- ditions, but, while admitting the feas ibility of nearly all, the proposed im- provements were, as usual, held back by the cost. Supervisor J. W. Dows put before the committee the question of sani- tary drinking cups, explaining that to provide as many as were really neces- sary would bring the cost to a higher figure than would be agreeable. The matter was left -open in order to as- certain if more economical conditions could be suggested. The question of a public meeting was discussed and it was recommend- ed that the meeting be held in the Town hall in the month of February. There was a complaint that some the pupils (boys, of course,) of Percival school were not confining themselves - to the school premises and were committing some depreda- tions on adjoining property. The teacher is to be instructed to learn of all such transgressions, and se- vere punishment is promised to all future culprits. A communication was recelved from the Motherhood club as to some- what deplorable conditions at the South school. The matter was or- dered corrected at once and, on motion of Treasurer Bacon. the secre- was instructed to reply to same, conveying the appreciation for the interest Lof | tary especially of the committee shown. The msual grist of bills were ground through the mill and at a late hour the meeting adjourned. HE CRUITING. 10.—A record in naval recruiting was made by the of- ficers of the battleship Pennsylvania which left the New York navy yard ay for the annual manoeuvres.

Despitr these offorts it was said that both the Penn- sylvania and the Wyoming, which also left the navy vard vesterday, were manncd by crews considerably below - their normal complements.

Sher- board de- clare that despite the criticism made concerning the purchase of a portable building two years ago to provide ac- commodations for the kindergarten a saving to the town was accomplished and there is no valid reason for be- lieving that the action of the com- mittee was ill-advised. According to Chairman Rogers it would have heen necessary to con- struct an addition to the brick school- house on Broad street two years ago had not the committee favored the buying of the portable building. The structure cost but $800 and Mr. Rog- ers figures that the investment re- sulted in a saving of at least $900. An addition to the building now in use would have cost in the neighhor- hood of $17,000, and Mr. Rogers calls attention to the fact that the interest on that amount computed at a five per cent. rate would have amounted to nearly $1,700 for the two years. The addition was not actually needed two years ago and by buving the portable school house the town tem- porarily relieved the congestion. The portable building may be sold or put in storage for use at some fu- ture time and the expense of its pur- chase will be found to pe slight. The building will not be needed after the addition is built and the board figures that it has served its purpose well. Members of the committes have made no statement as to what there attitude will be regarding the taking of the initiative in the matter of erect- ing the addition, the voters at the town mecting Monday night having failed to specify what town cficlals should award the contract. Their failure to include this in the resolu- tion was apparently an ove it seemed to be the sense of the meet- ing that the school board do the work. A special meeting of the board will probably be called within a few | weeks at which tllne the matter will be considered. Brief Items.
