On Friday morning of this week George G. Griswold will hold a hear- ing in chambers on the disposition of the Jumbola children. It was during the early part of December that the authorities were asked to investigate the case of a family living in Kensing- ton by the name of Jumbola. It seems that sometime during the month of October the mother of ,the children disappeared and from that day to this her whereabouts has not been-discov- ered. The father of the children cared for them as best he could but not be- ing home during the day they were in a general condition of ‘neglect and ran wild. There are five of the children the oldest of which is fourteen. The Connecticut Humane society took charge of the case with the result that there will be a hearing this week. It is expected that the children will be sent to the county home or some pri- vate institution where they will re- ceive proper care. Grange Tnstalls. Assistant Steward Miner Ives of the State Grange installed the newly elect- ed officers of the Berlin Grange at the meeting last evening in Grange hall on Farmington road. In addition to the Installation of officers the degree team of the local Grange put on the first degree for the benefit of those present. Following are the new offi- cers that were installed: Master—E. B. Adams. Overseer—Joscph Wilson. Lecturer—Irene Viets. Steward—Harold Ventres. Assistant Steward—Merwin Vile. Treasurer—George B.

After the installation a social was held and refreshments were served. The next meeting will be held on Feb- ruary 6 at which time the thirty-sec- ond anniversary of the Berlin Grange will be celebrated. John Root. v | The funeral of John Root, who dicd be | Monday night of pnermonia, was held ‘from the Rerlin Congregational church this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Rev. 8. A. Fiske officiated and burial was in Maple cemetery. The many beautiful floral tributes testified to the high esteem in which Mr. Root was held by his fellow D. A. R. men and friends.

The meeting is to be held in the town building on Wednesday, January 25. The action of the selectmen had been inticipated in many quarters since the attention of the public was called to the fact that while the last meeting auhorized the erection of the additlon, appropriated $17,000 to pay the expenses and laid an extra tax of four milis to raise part of the money required, they failed to give any In- structions as to what officials were to see that the work was done. The res- olution was introduced after other motions concerning additional school accommodations had been defeated and the indications pointed to no ac- tion on the proposition. It was pre- sented and passed in rather haphazard fashion and certain very necessary femtures were omitted through an oversight. While the school board is in abso- lute control of the management of the schools the erection of new buildings isa matter over which the voters alone have authority and the committee has not taken any acion. The members made no announcement as to what their probable attitude would be but the selectmen decided that jf an addi- tion is to be built the conracts should be awarded in legal fashion. Hence he call for the meeting. Although the need of additional schcol quarters is generally recognized and it is known that the town cannot avoid providing more room for the children, there are some who are not enthusiastic over the plan of pa half the expense in a single through the laying of a special four mill tax. They argue that by paying as was the Berlin Sons of Veterans’ association. Acorn Banquet. The first annual banquet of the Acorn A. C. was held at the Kilby House last evening and about thirty- four sat down to the fine spread that had been arranged by Jack Hart, the proprietor. Dr. M. H. Griswold act- ed as toastmaster and his ready wit kept the boys in an uproar. Several of the members gave a review of the past season while some of the others told of what the club expected to do in the future. The past season has been a success both in regard to the number of games won and from the financial end. . Hearing on Garrity Estate. John F. Garrity, petitioned the Ber- lin probate court today for letters of administration on the estate of his brother Edward Garrity. A hearing will be granted at the probate court in New Britain at 9 o’clock on Janu- ary 22. A. P. G. Bowlers Hold Banquet. Six teams, represented by thirty men of the American Paper Goods owling League enjoyed a banquet at the Hotel Beloin in New Britain last evening. After the Important part of eating had been gone through the prizes for the winners were awarded. Bones being the league leaders at the close of the season were awarded the first prize of $10. High individual team score was awarded to the Op- timists with 405 and their share in the proceeds was $6. . Emerson received $5 for having the high in- dividual average of 99. After the awards had been made the men ad- journed to the alleys where they rolled a few games just to show that the art had not been forgotten after a good meal. Briefs. There will be a meeting of the Foresters tomorrow night in their hall on Farmington road. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Deming enter- tained a reunion of the old 500 club last evening.

The K. of P. society of East Berlin installed officers at their mecting last evening. The Progressive Reading Circle of East Berlin met at the home of Mrs. J. P. DeMore last evening.

There are others who do not seem to like the idea of an extra tax any- way and it was reported today that some opposition to the plan may de- velop at the coming meeting. The call for the meeting makes no reference to the special tax and it is doubtful if the voters can do any- thing regarding it at the meeting. A motion to rescin dwould hardly be in order and efforts in that direction would probably meet with defeat. Opposition might find it possible, however, to defeat the proposition by refusing to appoint a committee to award the contracts which would leave the question as it stands today, W. J.
