BERLIN NEWS SELECT MEMORIAL - FOR SERVICE MEN General Committes Chooses De- *sign lor Honoring Soldiers [ONTRACT 1S AWARDED Tablets to Be Devoted to Veterans of Three Wars—To Hold Town Meect- ing—Inventory of Field Kstate Filed—Other Items. The general committee on the me- morial design met last evening at! Flannery’s hotel and decided upon the submitted by Fox & Becker of Middletown. FEleven of the general committee out of the fifteen were present. The selection of the design / is the result of careful and thorough study of the large number submitted the sub-committee. The general committee authorized the secretary of the organization to have Mr. Bec of design as the firm of Fox & Becker personally appear before the committee next | week Tuhrsday to-give them all the hetails and further information rela- tive to the memorial which the firm | will erect. The design submitted by them is a shaft with a bronze eagle on | the top and four bronze tablets on the | side. | The committee in charge of the | memorial is made up of representa- | tives of the three districts of Berlin, | Kensington and East Berlin with | Senator Claude B. Stevens as chair- ,man. The general committee was sub- divided into several other committees which worked together in selecting a suitable memorial for the town. The | selection has been an exceedingly dif. ] ficult one, as every design placed be- ! | i fore the sub-committee has been the finest of its kind, which meant con- siderable deliberation on the part of the committee to select one which would be within the appropriation as well as one of real beauty. That the committee has chosen wisely and well | will be shown when the memorial is | erected next spring. Every concern which has offered a ! design has been very obliging in every | yespect. They have sent their repre- | Sentatives to the various meetings of | the committee and these men have ex- plained in detail all the pertinent | Points concerning their design and have always been ready to answer all questions of the committee giving any information that the committee need- ed In making a selection. The com- mittee wishes to publicly thank the different concerns through these coi umns for their interest and co-ope tlon in the difficulties which have been encountered during the past few months. ; .; The memorial itself when finished will stand 31.feet 3 inches in hcl-;lni from the ground to the top of the eagle wiich will surmount the <hm.J The shaft will have two bases. the first one being 7 feet 9 inches sauare. ' The eagle on top of the column will have a total wing spread of 6 feet. There will be four es to the shaft and on each side there will be a tabs let, making four tablets in all. Three of the tablets will be devoted to the amount of $999.20 in the New RBritain Trust Co., and $198 | in the Berlin Savings bank was inven- | toried.

The fourth tablet will give a detailed description con- cerning the erecting of the memorial itself. The shaft will be made of the finest light Barre granity. The cost of the column will be about $,700, which is the amount appropriated for the memorial. The matter of glving badges to the service men of the world war was dis cussed last evening at the meeting and it is probable that definite action on this matter will be taken at the gathering Thursday evening at town hall at which time the matter of a welcome home celebration for the boys will be taken up Inventory of Fields Estate. The inventory of the estate of Juanita B. Field has been filed in the probate court, Major Frank 1. Wilcox and Colonel Charles M. Jarvis being the appraisers. The total amount of the inventory reveals the estate to be valued at $58,905.° A partial sum- mary of the inventory shows mort- suges held valued at $13,378.31, cov- ering property as far west Minne- sota. She held stocks of United States Steel corporation ued at $17,000. Mrs. Iicids also held a num- ber of local stocks, having 40 shares of Landers, Frary & Clark, 64 shares of American Hardware. She also held 12 shares of the New York, New Hav en and Hartford railroad besides as the 18 shares of Willys Overland stock. Over 840 shares outside of stoc held in oncerns were found worthless, the greater part 'being oil stocks of which she held 600 shares. The oil stocks were Prudential Oil, 500 shares, and Pilot Oil, 100 shares. The appraisers were unable to gel any valuation on these stocks o that they ! are considered practically worthles: no value being given them in the in- ventory. : Cash various to be to the \uto Leaves Road. The residents of Galpin's Hili were awakened about 2 o'clock this morn- ing by an automobile which jumped | the road in front of Henry Deming's | residence and turned into his yard. | The machine driver evidently did not know the road as he ran over several tree stumps which must have shook him up pretty well if it did not injure him. Before any of the neighbors could get lo the scenc, the driver | made a quick getaway. Beyond the | loss of sleep to a few of the unfor- | tunates and the tearing up of ‘hut | lasvn, N0 material damage was done. Town Gathering Thursday Evening. readiness for the town when the for the service Everything in town gathering at Thursday evening home celebration of the town will be discussed. Bvery man, woman and child in the entire town who has ideas on a welcome | celebration for requested ! to be present at is the | hall welcome | men the boys the meeting. ! Dut to the fact that the memorial | celebration will not be held until next Memorial day, some sort of a welcom- | ing for the service men before that | time is desired and it is for this | | purpose that the meeting is held. By next year a numter of the men may be scattered all over the country and | they will of course be absent from the | memorial celebration. In order that | every boy may feel that the town really appreciatés what he has done, the matter of a welcome home cele- bration will not be left until next year, but will be decided upon Thursday evening, provided every one inter- ested turns out. All those wko have served in the world war, in any capacity are asked to be present also Thursday evening to give the people present an idea of what they them- selves would like for a celebration. Whatever is to be done for the boys, they must decide for themselves whether they wish it, and it is for that particular reason that they are re- quested to be present. The matter of giving badges or medals to each service man will also come up for discussion. Major Frank L. Wilcox is in charge of this mat- ter and he would like to get the views of the service men on this matter. East Berlin Ttems North left today she will spend a few E. P.

Several of the rooms in the old building have been renovated and from the present outlook everything is well polished for the beginning of the season. Although it is expected that there will be many changes in the buildings in the next several weeks it cannot be asserted what the ar- rangements will be the present time. Lewis S. Mills, agent of the Connec- ticut state board of education, an- nounces that the school situation in the town of Plainville has improved sreatly and is impressed that the lo- 1 school board will not have to face many difficulties during the vear. The main difficulty wihch was troubling the school hoard for some time was the of teachers and princi- pal. of the fact that many of the teache can secure positions that give them a higher salary it was thought for some time that several teachers could not be secured, but through the efforts of the board of education co-operating with Mr. Mills at sccuring Jecause the teaching staff is now completed and will start their activities next week What the local people will he much pleased to learn is that Orrin L. Judd, who been the principal for the past several terms. has accepted the principalship for another vear and will have his office in the new school build- ing on Broad street. It was expected for some time that Mr. Judd would not accept, the position because of the higher salaried office he was offered in other parts, but dueto the fact that the local school board has reased the principal’s salary to the amount of ,000 per vear, Mr. Judd will remain for at least another term. The salary being paid for the principal’s position is the highest ever paid in the history of the town. This no doubt has heen caused by the high cost of living, combined with the hetter paid posi- tions in other cities. Mr. Mills assert- ed this morning that it is probable that the principal's salary will have to be raised again next vear The board of education has appro- priated the amount of $16,000 for teachers' salaries and from the present indications Mr. Mills states that this amount will have to be exceeded in order that the teachers remain with the local institutions. = The following teachers have been secured for the ensuing term: Orrin L.
