He served for a number of years as assessor and fulfilled his duties in a | capable manner. At present he is | retired, and should he be elected, will -devote his entire time to the rynning of the town affairs. Mr. Brown was for a number of years employed at the Malleable Iron New Britain. With the entire ticket complete, prominent democrats this morning an- hounced that a strenuous campaign be conducted to place a demo- cratic selectman and tax-collector in offfte this fall Encouraged by the largest vote in the history of Berlin, every effort will be bent to bring the ticket to the top.

The dem- ocrats argue that the condition of the roads about the town should be suf- ficient cause for having a new select- man elected, while Mr. Alling’s sup- porters uphold his economical admin- istration as their platform. John T. Mulumphy, one.of the larg- est peach growers in this section, will be Mr. Brown’s running mate. Mr. Molumphy who is: president of the hool board, is one of Berlin's most successful farmers. Tinance Board to Meet. The finance hoard will hold a pub- lic meeting at the town hall next week and the budget for the ensuing year will be drafted. All appropria- tions desired should be reported at that time and ‘will be acted upon. The board held a meeting a few days ago and acted upon the report of the school committee. First Selectman Alling has com- pleted his annual report and has placed it with the town auditors for ratification. He reports that he fin- ished the year with a healthy balance in the treasury.

Of the 141 local men examined at Plainville esterday for selective military service, but few were ex- empted because of physical reasons. Benjamin I. Miller of Avon, chairman of the district exemption board, stated today that 566 men from Berlin, Plainville and Southington appeared tor examination yesterday. Of this number, 105 passed and claimed no exemption; 144 were physically per- fect but claimed exemption on the grounds of dependency. Only 97 men were rejected. About 150 aliens were called and of this number 18 professed their desire to fight for Uncle Sam and were accepted. Because the men are called from tricts rather than towns, Mr. Miller 1id that it would be several days be- he would have the names tabu- As soon as the assortment, ac- cording to towns, has been completed an official list of the men from this town who have been examined and the disposition of their respective cases will be published. When asked what was to be done in reference to the drafted men who failed to appear for examination, Mr. Miller replied that their names will be turned over to the proper authori- ties. Mr. Miller announced that about 160 men from this district will report —_— State of Ohlo, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is_senior partner of the firm of F. J.

That an active interest is to be tak- en in the coming town elections was foreshadowed this morning when about 25 prospective voters appeared before the registrars in session at the town hall to show that they are en- titled to be made electors. Joseph J. Morse of East Berlin represented the republican party and Henry Fagan, candidate for ‘tax collector the coming elections, was present in be- half of the democratc. Mr. Fagan Mr. Fagan substituted for Henry Mc- Keon, who was unable to be present. One woman, Mrs. George Ventres is one of town's ardent suffragists and is an active worker in behalf of her party. The registrars will be in ses sion until 5 o’clock this afternoon. Attending Convention. Dr. Roger M. Griswold of Kensing ton left this morning for Boston, attend the annual meeting of the American Association for Clinical Research. Dr. Griswold was last yeear ciation by being chosen first vice- president. Dr. Griswold will be ab- sent until Sunday. at Kensington School Crowded. IExtra seats to accommodate the large attendance.of pupils at the Kensington Grammar School will be installed within the next few days. Miss Adele Bassett, principal of the school, stated today the attendancee figures on the opening day far ex- ceeded the expectations of the super- intendent and the school board. The enrollment was 358. Last year the attendance at the school was 270. The second grade, Miss Bassett said was exceptionally crowded. Eighty-five children reported in this class and ex- tra seats will be installed to meet the emergency. The attendance at the other school about the town was reported as nor- mal. It is probable that at the next regular meeting of the school board action will be taken to remedy con- ditions at the Kensington Grammar school. Berlin Bricfs, Mr. and Mrs. I, E.

Endorsing the administration of First Selectman Johnson, the repub- licans at their caucus last evening gave him a unanimous renomination, the faithful few who sgatheted to participate in the business of the ses- sion extending to him the compliment of placing his name as the party's standard bearer by acclamation. Running with him are the other of- fice holders, all of whom were given a vote of confidence at the meeting. Not in years has the caucus at- tracted such little attention. This was partly caused by the absolute Jack of a contest. The willingness of the republicans in general to con- tinue the representatives of the peo- ple in their respective positions kept the number of those present down to the quarter century mark, only being present. The ticket which the republicans will offer at the election in October follows: Selectmen—Willlam J. Johnson and H. Calor. Town clerk—R. (. Usher. Town treasurer—C. W. Hird. Assessor—Charles Newton. Constable—Philip Marino, Henry David, Carl Anderson and Alfred An- derson. Grand jurors—G. S. Gwillim and 8. P. Williams. Board of relief—J. N. and James Simpson. Auditor—F. I.. Benzon. Collector of taxes—Willis ingway, Registrar of voters—J. N. McKer- nan. \ School committee—A. Library mour. With the exception of Charles New- ton, Ralph Seymour and J. N. Mec- Kernan, the ticket this yvear is identically the same as was clected last vear. Newton was nominated | this vear to fill the assessor's posi- tion as Irank Wheeler refused to ac- cept the nomination. McKernan was the republicans’ choice for registrar of voters while Seymour was nomin- { ated to fill the vacancy caused hy the { removal from’ town of @ev. Mr. Grant. | This year's session was devoid of | many interesting incidents which | were the rule in “the good old days.” Starting at 8 o'clock the meeting was adjourned an hour later. In the v minutes spent within the con- fines of the town hall there was not a word of dissension among any of those present. G. S. Gwillim presided as chalrman of the meeting and John Lamb served as clerk. Many Accepted for Army. That the examinations at Plainville vesterday of “proposed members of the new National Army were more than successful is evidenced by the fact that nearly one-third of those who passed through the physicians hands will be ushered shortly into the service. These are the men who were found physically fit and waived all claims for exemption. Out of 345 who took the physical examinations 104 were marked with the stamp of approval. A large number of thesc were Plainville men but on account of the list not being checked up the ex- act number is not known. | Yesterday’'s session was pure con- trast with the first examinations held a short time ago and at which not a single alien walved exemption. Yes- terday 18 aliens were found physical- Iy O. K. and expressed a desire to serve under {he colors of this coun- try. 144 were found physically fit but filed claims for exemption on various grounds while 97 others were dls- charged hecause of physical disabil- ities. The number called for exemption from the three towns of Plainville, Berlin and Southington was 521 but it is a known fact that a number of those to whom notices were sent failed to put in an appearance. At the Plainville post office alone there are six letters of motification that fhave not been called for and the whereabouts of the men cannot be ascertained. After a final checking up by the local board the names of all who were summoned and failed to appear will probably be placed in the hands of the federal authorities. With a working force that was greatly augmented and composed of 35 clerks and 20 doctors the examin- ations began at 12 o’clock. The lo- cal hoard were present at eleven ar- ranging the men in the order in which they were to be sent before the physicians. At 6 o'clock the working force had finshed their last man and the huge task was completed. Not a moment was lost in the work and the medical men as well as the clerks who volunteered their services re- mained in the hall unm the last man was examined. During the day Lhone who were in charge of arranging the men in the order in which they were to be examined evperienced some aifficulty because several outsiders paid frequent visits at the local emporium and con- sequently lost their turn. They had to be examined later in the day. Two men from Bristol also were passed upon as they were under the influence of liquar when they presented them- 25 (@ McKernan J. Hem- L.
