The financial report of the condi- mion of the ‘Berlin Savings Bank, just dssued, shows the business of the in- stitution to be increasing rapidly at (the present time. Comparing the Te- port with that of a year ago shows that the business of the institution has increased approximately $400,000 during the past vear. FEleven years ago Francis Deming hecame connect- ed with the bank in the capacity of ' assistant treasurer, Willis Upson be- ing the treasurer at that time. Upon the death of the latter Mr. Deming was appointed treasurer. The efforts of Mr. Deming have been largely re- sponsible for the increase in business at the bank and today it is consid- ered one of the strongest in the state. -Have you (3 e ’ Indigestion?

Grange hall wag all dressed up in holiday attire last evening, for the thirty-second anniversary celebration, the color scheme being yellow and white in the main hall and in the banquet hall pink and white. Besides visitors from as far away as New Ha- ven a number of the state officers were in attendance there being 155 present during the coarse of the eve- ning. A very difficult drill was put on by the degree team of the local Grange and much favorable comment on the clever work was heard after the meeting. During the exercises music was furnished by the Grange five piece orchestra which js an un- usual thing as but few of the state organizations can boast of such a thing as an orchestra. The one fea- ture of the evening was the reading of an original poem which was writ- ten by Miss Irene Viets. The poem follows: THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO. 1 { And { They { They t They | Ara Full many years have passed away, | Years filled with joy and woe, | Since Berlin Grange was organized | Just thirty-two vears ago.

Liniment Plainville News DESCRIBES PLANS FOR NEW ADDITION Architect Gives Committees a d Rough Outline of Improvement WILL PREPARE BLUEPRINT | Heating Expert Also Attends Meeting | —School Board Fails to Fill Va- cancy—Grangers Enjoy Mock Trial —May Expel Boys' Club Members, Meeting with members of the special committee appointed by a recent town meeting to award contracts for the canstruction of an addition to the Broad street schoolhouse and to su-| pervise work on the same, Architect Max J. Unkelbach of New Britain pre- sented a rough draft of the plans last evening and explained in detail what specifications he proposes to make in asking for bids. Mr. Unkelbach’ drew the plans for the original building, arranging his drawings so the building would be erected in such fashion that a four room addition could be con- structed without disturbing the walls to any great extent. Last night he showed the committee how the extra rooms can be added and the heating system extended with but little trouble. Mr. Unkelbach was authorized to prepare the blue prints necessary and after they are submitted to the com- mittee bids will be called for. It is hoped that the work can be started in the spring to make certain that the addition will be completed and ready for occupancy by the time school| opens for the fall term. It is pro- posed to equip but gwo of the rooms this year, although a continued growth of the town at the present rate will make it necessary to use the others probably in 1918. Accompanying the architect to the meeting was a representative of a Boston firm which installed the heat- | ing system in the schoolhouse. He had visited the building during the day and explained to the committee that the apparatus now in use is sufficiently large to heat the addition. He praised to the committee the work of Janitor Murphy, complimgnting the man on the excellent condition of the build- ing. He declared it to he kept as neat | and clean as any schoolhouse he has ever visited, Vacancy Yet Unfilled. After the building committee had completed its business Selectman | Johnson retired and the school board | which constitutes the balance of the| body opened its February meeting. | Business of a routine nature Wwas| transacted and there was nothing of special importance to be considered. . The vacancy on the board caused by | the resignation of Rev. R. H. Burton several weeks ago’ still exists. H. / Castle, who was slated for the place, has declined to serve owing to thef pressurc of other business and the| democrats have been unable to make another selection. Frank G. Osborne has been the solc representative of that party at the recent meeting: Rev. H. T. Walsh, the other democrat on the board, having been unable to attend the sessions because of his health. Reports indicate that the conduct of | the school continues satisfactory and | the pupils in all the grades are mak- | ing satisfactory progress. | May Expel Members.

Members of the Foresters’ b at @ meeting last evening re- will discuss several matters in connec- | tion with the organization. Prom nent among the questions to be con- sidered will be the expulsion of ce tain members of the olub whose con- duct in the town building is having a tendency to impair the discipline | which the instructor is attempting to create. The boys in question seeming- 1y have but little regard for the rules of the organization and their action in ignoring the orders of the men in charge of the classes has resulted in an unfavorable report concerning them being filed with the directors. The board insists that the classes shall be conducted in orderly fashion and insubordination on the part of members will not be talerated. Manager Ahlquist of the club bas- ketball team has made arrangements for a game to be played tomorrbw night with the Bristol Scouts oppos- | ing the local bovs. The Bristol team defeated the Plainville aggregation but a few days ago and the boys here are now expecting to get their revenge when they meet tomorrow night’ for the second time.
