Berlin News CAVE MAN METHODS ARE NOT TOLERATED This Advice Given to Alex Nuberg in Court ALLEGED WIFE BEATER Representative of : Connecticut Com- - pany Fails to Show Up—Home Guard Hold Drill and Business Meeting. Charged with drunkenness, breach of the peace, and beating his wife, Alex Nuberg was arraigned in court this morning before Judge George G. Griswold. Because the fixing of a fine weuld place a burden on the family he was sentenced to 30 days in jail which will take effect only if he breaks the three months’ probation on which he was placed. Prosecuting Attorney Gibney warned him that if he continued his. flirtations with Old John Barleycorn in the future and used cave man methods on his wife he would be shown no leniency on his second appearance fn court. prosecutor told Officer Bradbury that if he received any further complaints relative to Nuberg's behavior the of- fender should at once be taken into custody. Her frail figure shaking with emo- tidn and tears streaming down her cheeks, Mrs. Nuberg offered testi- mony. She stated that her husband went to Hartford yesterday for busi- ness purposes and while there im- bibed quite freely, bringing a bottle with him his return. No sooner had he reached the house, she testi- fled, than he became abusive, calling hn.r the vilest of names and flourish- ing a knife. Neighbors hearing the rumpus made a complaint and Officer Bradbury was soon on the scene. “It is not the first time that he has abused me,” declared Mrs. Nuberg adding that every, time he received his pay he proceeded to linger over the flowing bowl. After stating that 1f_he did not mend his ways and hav- ing the assurance of Prosecutor that he would court was dismissed. Public Hearing Is Adjourned. on Because of the fact that only three | citizens of Kensington showed up at the town hall last evening and a rep- resentative of the Connecticut com- pany failed to put in an appearance. th® public hearing on the petitions of the local trolley company was ad- journed until next Monday night. The company proposes to change the dis- tance between its poles on the Farm- ington road between Worthington Ridge and Berldale avenue, Those present at last short session were A. H. Bushnell, Louis Anderson and First Selectman W. I. Alling. Through some mis-un- Werstanding or laxity on the part of thé officials, Bushness was the only man to receive a notification of the meeting, The first selectman had a blue-print map of the proposed changes. Al- though the information did not come evening’s e The | from an official source it is rumored that the station in front of the Grange hall may be changed. This willi not meet the approval of the citizens in the neighborhood and a stout fight will probably be waged for its retainment. Home Guard Activities. The usual meeting and drill of the Home Guard was held last evening at the town hall, after which a lengthy business session took place. The chief item of importance brought up at the business meeting was the considera- tion of an invitation to do police duty at the grounds during the Berlin Fair. No definite conclusion was arrived at although a committee was appointed to look into conditions and determine the compensation which they would receive in case such a move was made. It was voted to extend an invitation to the Bristol campanies to participate in the battalion fleld day which will be held Saturday, September 1, at the Fair Grounds. Board of National Defense Meets. A meeting of the local Board of Na- tional Defense was held last evening in the town hall. Members of the board who were drilling with the Home Guard were excused to attend. It was decided definitely to place a large bulletin board in the villages of Berlin, East Berlin and Kensington. On these boards literature on the con- servation of food and other national topics will be placed” These posters are furnished free by the State Council of Defense and make interesting as well as instructive reading. The dis- | cussion as to whether the boards should be bought or made was settled when Frank Wilcox offered to furnish the money for their purchase. His offer was gladly received.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. £0.—Rear- Admiral High T. Hibbert of the Brit- ish navy, who was familiar to Ameri- cans when the Lusitania was sunk as flag captain in command of the Port of Queenstown, arrived here yesterday on an armed merchantman and is on a special mission for the British ad- miralty. “I have watched the Capes so long from the outside,” he said, “‘that I am mighty glad to be inside them at last.” For many months Admiral Hibbert was in charge of the fleet that stood guard outside the port of New York and off Cape Charles and Cape Henry. He was then recalled to England and later sent out on his present errand. Although he has been in active service since the beginning of the wa: he said that he had never seen a Ger- man submarine. As to the effective- ness of submarine warfare, he saM that, while the situation called for un- relaxed vigilance and was undoubtedly serious, he did not believe that it would ever be effectual. “Personally,” he added. “I believe that they have done their worst. The natural wastage is very great, and it does not seem possi mans can continue to put marines at a rate to keep record.” He believes that the Germans will not end the war, however, without a great naval battle, and is of the opin- ion that they are holding back the navy as a last resort. “I see by the papers,” he said, ‘‘that the kaiser re- cently visited the fleet at Wilhelms- haven, and I am hoping that it fofe- shadows a move in that direction.” out up suh- their Plainviile News BALANCE REMAINS WITH BILLS PAID Town Report Will Show Finan- cial Condition to Be Good EXPENSES BELOW ESTIMATES Selectmen and Other Officials Start Preparation of Annual Statements —Can’t Reduce Tax Rate—Borrow to Pay for School Addition. While a complete compilation of the figures for the fiscal year which ended on August 15 have not as yet been made, First Selectman Johnson stated today that tabulation of the receipts and expenses representing most of the departments under the Jurisdiction of his board indicated that the taxes taken in since last summer were more than sufficient to meet the current expenses and with all bills paid, the treasurer’s report will probably show a balance. Mr. Johnson and other officials are now at work on the preliminary details of their annual reports and within a week it Is likely that the statements will be sent to the auditors for exam- ination before they are turned over to the printers to be included in the annual report. ~ Except for the highway department which will show an increased expense because of the selectmen taking ad- vantage of the state’s offer to crushed stone taken from West Main street and Forestville avenue for r pairing other streets, the expenses in other branches will be much less than the officials had estimated. Selectman Johnson and his asso- ciates on the board, and other ofiicials as well, have doled out the town’s money in cconomical fashion during the year, as is attested to by the pre- diction that the reports will show a saving accomplished. They have spent the taxpayers’ dollars carefully and wisely and it is not believed that there will be any appreciable crit- icism of their administration. Although there is a small balance on hand with which to start the year there is no likelihood that it will by | possible to lower the tax'rate when the voters assemble at the annuat town meeting. - The highway expenses for the year recently begun are bound to be large. The town's share of the expense of putting permanent pave- meint on West Main and Whiting streets will have to come out receipts for the new year. There is use | of the | still a considerable amount of crushed stone to be taken from West Main street for use on other highways and while the material costs the town nothing the expense of carting and distributing it i1 be considerable. A special four mill tax will also have to be laid to take care of that part of the cost of erecting the school house addition which should be at- tended to this year. The money re- ceived from the special tax this year has been kept separately. When the addition is completed the contradtors will have to be paid in full and it will be necessary to borrow money to meet the bill. The debt thus incurred, however, the selectmen hope to be able to pay off in about three years, providing the voters will follow the precedent established at the ad- journed annual town meeting and levy a special tax of four mills each | year. The financial condition of Plainville is at the present time excellent, con- sidering the deplorable shape of its affairs but a few years ago when the bond issue was created. There ap- pears to be a disposition on the part of the voters to adopt the “pay as you go” system and leading citizens declare that if this policy is adhered to for a few years the town will be well off and will be in a position to make many much needed improve- ments not possible of accomplishment now. Deputies May Serve. Deputies for both the republican and democratic registrars of voters may be selected to look after the pre- liminaries of the fall elections, the health of both officials being such that they probably will be unable to act. I. P. Newell, the republican official, is in a serious condition in the New Britain hospital and A. D. Cady, the democratic representative, is also laid up. The men will probably select | sistants to do their work this fall.

Uniforms and equipment for the lo- cal members of the Ambulance com- pany of the First Regiment of the Home Guard have arrived here. Thay were supplied by the state and are now being distributed among the members. When the Home Guard was organ- ized Plainville members were the first to form a medical corps, Dr. L. H. Frost and Gage Kent assembling the men for this division. No sprovision was made at the time, however, for furnishing uniforms and equipment for this branch of the guard and the members supplied the necessities for the corps at their awn expense.
