On July 24, the residents of Berlin are to be treated to a lawn fete to be comMuauy and as these are not paid for by the town, this fete will be given to help defray the expenses for the much needed improvements. Plans are being made by Miss Rohm to make this lawn fete the most elaborate one ever staged in the town. The fete will consist largely of tableaux and folk dances, all the talent being local. Rehearsals are being held under the experienced direction of Miss Rohm and nothing is being spared to make the occasion one long to be remembered F. L. Wilcox has kindly offered his lawn for the fete, and this ‘alone, should prove a big attraction as the grounds about Mr. Wilsox's home are as beau- tiful as any in the state in the town of Berlin should mark their calendar for the 24th and be sure to keep that date open. The ad- mission to be charged will be made known later, but the object of Miss Rohm is to make the fete an occasion® incommensurable with money. The Village Improvement society are making plans for many improve- ments in the future which will large- Iy depend upon the spirit and pride of its citizens. Berlin Briefs.

Plainville is rather a small town to have taken upon its shoulders such a reponsibility as selling municipal ice but now that it has assumed such a burden the entire proposition remains | for the townspeople to make it a suc< cess and assure other civic benefits like it in the future | In former years the town had two | or three ice men. Older residents re- member the time when there were four ice dealers in the town. Until the war started the same condition ex- isted but then the entire situation was changed and when spring came there was but one dealer in town. Mr. Nor- | ton is the only dealer in town at the present time. Enough proof has been obtained to show that he has not fared well, financially, selling ice at the present rates. A meeting of the ice committee of the Plainville Business and Improve- ment association—the committee which purchased the supply of ice and was later asked by the voters to care for its disposal-—was held last night and the matter was thrashed out in every detail. It is found that the town now has its 800 tons of ice to fall back on 'for the remairder of the summer. Mr. Norten was present at the meet- ing and stated that he has been selling ice for 69, 70 and 80 cents per hun- dred pounds. He also stated and proved his statement, that he has not mads any financial gain on the ice venture in the town and has cleared but enough for the maintenance of running expenses. The committee voted favorably up- on the ticket system of selling ice which was mentioned in 1 night's Herald. The facts concerning the tickets ave as follows: The ice will be sold on a strictly cash basis and by means of tickets only. Patrons will have to purchase their tickets before they secure their supply of ice. = The tickets will be printed in different de- nominations and will range from $1 to $10. Tickets of from one to five dollars will be sold to the household- ers, thus caring for household con- sumption. Tickets of five dollar de- nomination will be sold to the small stores. Ten dollar tickets will be sold to markets, confectioners, etc. It was also voted to raise the price of ice a small degree and hencefor- ward the commodity will be sold at 65 cents per 100 pounds to the large consumers, 75 cents per 100 to groc- ers, hotels, boarding houses, efc., and 90 cents per 100 pounds will be charg- ed to household purchasers. This is an increase of 10 cents per 100 pounds to householders, but at the present time the increase seems necessary. Tickets for the ice can be purchas- ed from the ice man he sells on the street 1t is probable also that tickets may be placed on sale in other places in the town but that has not been definitely decided upon. The ice man will punch the ticket as he makes | the delivery. He will also collect the as money from the consumer and the entire amount collected will be turn- ed over to the committee by Mr. Nor- ton. This is done in order to find out just how the town's venture is com- ing out and in order to show the townspeople just how the money is spent. The committee wishes to ask the townspeople to be as considerate as possible_in the matter. The members are also urgent in their request that the townspeople be as economical as possible in the consumption of the! supply. If the ice situation does not change and hot weathér again ensues then it is probable that the cost will again rise, probably to $1 per 100 pounds or possibly even higher. Just as true is it the other way. that, If the committee and Mr. Norton feel that the supply is large enough for the demand the price will drop ac- cordingly as the supply will permit. Tcemen from all parts of the state have been interviewed in regard to| the venture by the town and the opin- | ions are varied. The town has 800 | tons of Lake Sunapee, N.

Others are of the opinion that but 400 tons can be sold from the entire supply and t their opinion upon the average 30 per cent. shrinkage. The ice cost the town $3,500, and it is heped to get that amount back through its sale in the town. Last week, which was exceptionally warm and included the Fourth of July. between 60 -'and 70 tons of ice were sold in town. If that rate con- tinued the supply would be short lived Chautauqua Opens Monday. he Connecticut Chautauqua @ sembly will open at the Methodist camp ground next Monday. Arrange- ments for the opening of the session are nearly complete. he assembly will last for eight days and an ex- ceptionally fine stercopticon has bheen secured by President Spencer of Hart- ford for use during that time The people in charge are trying hard to arrange for acconimodating the crowds which will flock to the grounds for the various exercises. Mr. Robertson has started a force of men cleaning the streets within the campus as well as those approach- ing the grounds. By Saturday they will be in presentable shape for the opening session. The past winter was not as severe as former ones and the refuse of the spring is probably not s great as formerly. The associa- tion’s huge auditorium in the center of the grounds, the temporary post office, the boarding house and lunch room, and other buildings connected | with the business session are also being thoroughly cleaned and pre- pared for business. Mrs. Arthur Moose of Southington has been appointed matron of the dormitories for this season. Ever protection has also been taken against any possible loss by fire on the grounds and the fire hose and other fire fighting equipment have been thoroughly tested. The pressure of water at the grounds this vear, greater than ever hefore. There will also be transportation a rangements from the center of For- | estville and the local jitneys may also do some of the business along fhat line. Monday’s Lecture. On Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the auditorium there will be a lec- ture by Rev. Loufs C. Harnish, pas- tor of the Village Street Mission, con- ducted under the auspices of, the Congregational churches of Haftford.
