Business in the Kensington district _ of the town of Berlin will be sus- * pended tomorrow afternoon for sev- eral hours in order that proper hom- age may be pald to the flag which will be raised in the triangle. The celebration, under the auspices of the Spns of Veterans' association, is ex- pected to be the biggest of its kind that has ever been held in the town. I The parade, in which about 500 peo- ple will take part, will form on the * eastern side of the Kensington rail- road bridge at 2:30 o'clock ‘and at 3 f o%lock the march will start. Return- ing to the triangle, exercises of a \nmm-ba-!orgotten nature will be, eld, and a wonderful tribute paid to ‘the flag. In the evening a social and /dance will be held in St. Paul's par- {ish hall, and all those that partake in the afternoon’'s activities are in- vited. 4 general observance of the holi- . @iy is expected by the committee in charge of the affair and, as the fac- | tories and schools ;are closed on Sat- urday afternoon, there is little doubt of the part they will play in the ex- ‘ercises. At 2:30 o'clock the stores will suspend business until after the i exercises have been completed at the triangle. The barber shops are also included in the general shutdown and, without a request, the saloon owners have voted to close their places of isiness during the same hours. George E. Greene has been appoint- 4 marshal of the parade, and he will oint several alds. The parade will at 8 o'clock from the Kensing- ton railroad bridge, and the line of march will be up Main street to All- ing street, to Farmington road and thén down Farmington road to the, triangle at the Kilby House. At a meeting of Court Mattabes- sett, F. of A, held in the hall on Farmington road, last evening, it wunanimously voted to turn out for the parade. All members of the order 8re requested to be on hand tomor- sow afternoon. Other societies that -;?;n'hko part in the parade are: e Guard unit, Italian soclety, T. A.

Invitations have also been issued to the members of Stanley post and a troop of Scouts, and both these organisations will take part. A detall from Co. F, Connecticut infantry, will lead the parade in full uniform and with their service guns. The boys are doing duty at the local station, and permission has been se- cured from the commanding office: to have them take part in the axez cises. The speakers and members of the G. A. R. will ride in autos, and the speaking will be done from the machines. % ‘The services at the triangle will be conducted by the members of Co. F, and the boys will be in charge of the flag raising. Prayer will be offered by either Rev. J. C. Brennan, pastor of St. Paul's church, or Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congrega- tional church. The principal address of the afterncon will be delivered by Thomas J. Spellacy, United States dis- trict attorney. Mayor George A. Quigley of New Britain will also say a few words. Miss Adele Murray will give a recitation and the pupils of the Grammar school are expected to lead in the singing of patrigtic songs. The present plans call for at least five drum corps and several bands to take part in the parade, and there may be several more, as all the organizations invited have not responded. The Sons of Veterans wish it under- stood that the triangle In front of the Kilby House is in no way con- nected with that building, and Mr. Kilby has turned the plot of ground over to the association to do with asthyeese yrgi cmfwyp shrdlu mfw as they see fit. The list of speakers.for the Men's Lyceum banquet which will be held next Wednesday evening in the parlors of the Kensington Congregational church has beén completed by . the éommittee in charge and is as fol- lows: Rev. J Coleman Adams, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, Hart- ford, will deliver the principal ad- dress on “Citizenship—Privileges and Responsibilities;” Otis H. Moore, county agent of the Hartford County league will also address the meeting on the question of the food supply. Walter E. Hart has been secured to render vocal selections and there will be several other musical numbers on the program. The Ladies’ WAid so- ciety of the church will furnish the menu and, according to all reports, they will outdo any previous attempts. Tickets may be secured from the fol- lowing committee members: C. W. Stevens, A. L. Moffatt or H. W. Aspin- wall. Guard Meeting. At the meeting of the Home Guard unit bheld in the chapel at Upson's corner last night it was voted that the organization turn out to take part in the flag-raising exercises under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans on Saturday afternoon. The members are to report at the chapel tomorrow afternoon at 1:45 o’clock sharp and those who fail to take part may be i fined $1, but this is left to the dis- cretion of the captain. Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congrega- tional church, was elected secretary of the organization at the meeting and Company Clerk E. Fenn Nourse was elected secretary. Captaln Beckett also appointed the following commit- tee to draw up by laws to govern the organization: Lieutenant Carter, Ser- geant C. Fred Johnson, Corporal Ven- tres, and Privates Fiske and Dodd.

Jority of persons living in the town will allow for the purchase of a large flag. The flag will probably be raised at the soldiers’ monument. There is also a movement on foot by the members of the Boy Scout troop of Berlin to raise a flag on the lawn of the Congregational church. Already a sixty foot pole has been se- cured and more definite arrangements will be made in a few days. Briefs. George Halquist went to New Haven yesterday where he joined the coast patrol.

Probation Revoked on Ome Man— Difficulties of Interpreter, Instead of having further leniency shown and more time in paying $4.42, balance of a $7 and costs fine imposed about nine months ago, Frederick Hickey of 451 West Main street, must make immediate payment or go to Jall to work out the gmount. He was arraigned before JGdge Ja; Meskil in police conrtgtodly r:}::rg::i. with violating his probation, proba- tionary supervision was revoked and immediate payment of balance re- maining of the original fine ordered. Policeman Michael Massey took the accused, employed by the H. R. Walk- er company, into custody last night :lollowl;:z complaint by Probation Of- cer 'ward 'C. Connol, - lice authorities. e James McGowan expressed himself as much hurt that he should be ar- rested and charged with vagrancy. He sald that he came to New Britain vesterday, an unidentified Good Sa- maritan, as he supposed his acquaint- ance to be, invitéd him to share his room in the Stanley building and then left him to pass the night in the hall- wgy. Lodgers discovered his pros- trate form and notified the manage- ment of lodging houses on the top floor. . Policemen George E. Ellinger and Frank M. English disturbed his slumbers and quieted his forcibly-ex- pressed indignation. Thirty days in Jail with a suspended sentence, pro- vided he returns to his Waterbury home, were imposed. Difficulties of securing competent interpreters in the absence of Court Interpreters M. R. Malinowsky and Frank Nipert was effectively demon- strated in the arraignment of Charles Kasperawycz of 138 Winter sireet, charged with assault upon Peter Smith, a fellow workman.. Emer- gency service had to be provided. One interpreter understood .and -could translate Polish, but was unable to do 80 for the accused because the latter epoke Lithuanian. Finally further patched up servce was provided in providing a special interpreter, select- ed from among the spectators, for the accused and the emergency Pol- ish-speaking interpreter acted for the witnesses. The accused was fined $7 and costs for glving Smith a discol- ored optic. Plainville News {TAX COLLECTIONS TOTAL 90 PER GENT. Receipts to Date, Report Shows, Amount to Over $40,000 TOWN WILL RUN BEHIND — \Extraordinary Expenses Will Prove a Set Back Financially—No Prospect of a Lower Tax Rate Next Year— Boy Scouts to Inspect Yards. More than $40,000, or approximate- ly ninety per cent. of the entire amount due, has been collected in taxes since April 1, according. to the compilation of figures in the records of Collector W. J. Hemingway com- pleted today. The results of the col- lector’s activities show that despite high prices and war clouds the prop- erty owners in Plainville are in a healthy financial condition and have been getting their share of the pros- perity distributed through the coun- try during the past three years. The callections this year of :course are record breaking as to amount and they compare well, propotrtionately, with those of previous years. Mr. Hemingway is well satisfled with the returns and he does mnot anticipate that he will have to place as many liens on property for unpaid taxes as usual. The collections are made larger than usual this year by reason of the fact that the town increased the rate to fifteen mills and imposed a special tax of four mills to pay a part of the debt which will be incurred through the erection of a $19,000 addition to the ‘schoolhouse on Broad street. In- cluded in the amount announced as collected is the revenue received from personal tax payers. The men lable to this tax have responded well this year and comparatively few personal tax bills remain unpaid. It is the in- tention to force immediate settlement of these accounts and delinquents who fail to heed tthe warning are liable to have to pay court costs in addition as they are liable to arrest for their negligence. Despite the fact tthat the tax col- lections reach a record breaking amount the indications are that the revenue will be insufficient to meet the current expenses this year. Although the rate was raised to fifteen mills at the annual town meeting, the voters at the time considered only the ex- penses outlined by the officials. me extraordinary items will increase the cost of maintaining the town by con- siderable. For instance there is $2,700 recently appropriated for high- improvements which were not in- cluded in the estimates used for desig- nating the rate. Then there will be an increase in the school expense over what was estimated by the com- mittee as it will be necessary to em- ploy extra teachers to take charge of the classes in the rooms in the new addition ,although the year will be closed before this feature represents much money. There are, some other items of expense not included in the budget which. will help to cut into the revenue and the officlals believe that it will be impossible to keep the town out of debt for the year, even if the cost of building the school ad. dition is not figured as an expense for this fiscal year., 'The town authorities do not believe, however, that there is occasion to complain as the extraordinary expen- ditures for the most part should prove excellent investments. They are par- ticularly agreeable to joining in the highway improvements as the town will get big benefits from them at comparatively small cost. The state and trolley companies will spend nearly $100,000 in permanent pave- ment improvements while the town contributes but $2,800 towards them. ‘When the laying of tthe pavement is complete Plainville streets will be in splendid shape and its main high- ways will be as good as can be found anywhere. The selectmen will make an attempt to economize in other departments to offset the extraordinary expenses but they admit that it will be impossible to keep the amount down to figures that will be reached by the revenue. Consequently the possibilities of a re- duction in the tax rate next year will be very remote and the taxpayers will have cause for congratulating them- selves if it is found advisable to kee from raising it . Settling Coughlin Estate. James Gray of Bristol, adminis- trator, is making arrangememis to make a final distribution of the estate of Patrick Coughlin, who died a few years ago, leaving nearly $70,000 to his nieces and nephews, a number of whom reside in Plainville. Coughlin died suddenly, leaving no will, and as a result his nieces and nephews, who were his nearest of kin are entitled to equal shares of his wealth. Settlement of the estate was de- layed for some time because of the appeal of one of the heirs from the action of the Bristol probate court in approving of the payment of bills submitted by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Coughlin for services rendered to the man before his death. The appeal, it js understood, has been withdrawn and the way cleared for a distribu- tion of the money. Mr. Coughlin’s property in New Britain is to be sold at auction on May 26 by order of the administrator. Other real estate holdings will also be turned into cash at once and in a few weeks the heirs expect to receive their share of the estate. To Inspect Yards.
