All Berlin is primed for the repa™ lican caucus scheduled for this eve- ning at 8 o'clock In the town hall The political battle centers around the nomination for selectman, which now hag three candidates. W. I. Alling is the present incumbent and those who are seeking the nomination are Dr. R. M. Griswold and R. O. Clark of East Berlin. The rumor was about town this morning, however, that Mr. Clark would not run for the office, being tied up with his own business affairs. If this is so the fleld narrows down to Mr, Alling and the doctor. Dr. Griswold has posters about town in“orming the voters of his platform so that none may go to the caucus without knowing what he intends to do. Mr. Alling has not advertised his candidacy to any extent, preferring to let people decide his value to the community by the services rendered during the past year. The biggest 19t in Mr. Alling’s favor is the $15,000 payment on.the old debt, of which $11,000 was left over from Gibney's regime, back in 1914 and 1916. Some of the citizens have a big question on their minds to ask Mr. Alling this evening and that {s how he ever man- aged to save $15,000 to pay off the debt. B The fact that it has been raining all day should deter no one fram coming to the caucus this evening, especially when such a big issue is to be decided. A former selectman is endorsing the nomination of one of the candidates and it will be interesting to see just how much of his former party con- trol he can bring into play. Company to Improve Property. The East Berlin Improvement com- pany has had a very successful year so far, having disposed of practically all of their houses. The company up till this vear have not been a paying proposition due to the fact that East Berlin lacked any manufacturing plants to induce the ownership of homes. These homes owned by the building company were built a number of years ago at the time the Peck, Stow plant and the Berlin Bridgs company were in town. The company was formed to build homes for the en working in the factories so that tirey could buy and rent from the com- pany. Good dividends accrued as long as the concerns were in the town, bu as soon as the companies moved the building company found a large num- ber of houses on their hands which they had no means of selling, due to ths large number of the factory la- borers leaving town. s " The value of the property up to this year was at a minimum, and the com- pany willing to sell at any price they could get to have the houses taken off their hands. The paving of divi- dends has been omitted for several vears as the company made nothing on their sales and the stockholders were about ready to turn over the homes for almost anything as long as they could realize something on the original dollars invested. This vear everything has due to the exorbitant rents in the cities. Everyone is going into the suburbs to buy and East Berlin felt the change. All property jumped 25 to 50 per cent. in value and even more. The building company has become once more a paying proposition, hav- ing disposed of nearly all their homes at better prices than they could have obtained many vears before, proving that perhaps after all the waiting pol- icy is the best. The homes which they now have left they are improving by palnting, shingling and generally remodeling inside and out. When these houses are sold the old East Berlin Building company will prob- ably discontinue, unless the new: con- cern maintains a growth which will necessitate new construction. It has been reported that the company will declare a dividend this year, which will be the first one in a number of vears. Suit Tried This Afternoon. The suit against the town brought by Mr. Ritchie, a former grocer here, for groceries sold to the town during the past smallpox epidemic, was tried this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Berlin court before Judge George G. Griswald. Mortimer H. Camp is representing the trustees of the bank- rupt estate of Mr. Ritchie against the town, and W. 1. Alling is representing the town of Berlin. Autoist Gets His' Bumps. The traffic on the main highway was extremely heavy vesterday, so much so that one avtoist ran into another one in an ~ndeavor to keep within the fifteen foot srace allotted him in the procession. This particu- lar automobilist was the third in the procession of three cars and the first one stopped short at East Berlin hill to allow a car coming up the hill to swing onto the highway. The second in line brought up short to avoid hitting the first machine, but the third fellow was not quite as handy 2t the brakes and consequently hit the sacond fellow whe had stopped shorl. The tenders on the last ma- chine were badly bent znd the head- lights smased. - Eeyond the damage mentioned ncthing serious cccurred. Ledge School Opens. The Ledge school opened this morning with a registration of 35 pu- pils. It was found necessary to open this school to take care of ‘he over- crowding of the upper grades in the Kensing*on school. . The fourth and fifth grades where the overcrowding was th2 worst has been taken care of by opening the acded room in the ledge school. This does not relieve all the overcrowdirg however, which still remains in the upper grades. It is hopad to take care of this condition later in the year if possible. Miss Ruth Slaght, who has had several vears' experience in Ohio schools, s the new teacher at the Ledge school. Will Salary Be Raised? There is discussion in town con- cerning the advisability of reising the salary of the first selectman. The pay at the present time is but $800 which 1s ered too littlo for the amount o expoectad The sent selectman gives practi- cally his whole time to POs:ii and any other incumben' wiil find that it will take nearly his whole time. The flgure set by those discuss- ing the matter. is $1,500, which prob- ably will be the new figure. Memorial Meeting Tomorrow.

FACTORY ALMOST FINISHED Celluloid Plant to Be Occupied in Two Weeks WILL EMPLOY 50 HANDS Start | Huntsmen Arc Getting Early This Yvar—-l’lain\'lll}; Trust Co, Is- sues Statement—Walter Dester and Miss Wooster Are Wedded. Joseph F. Lamb, vice-prestdent and general superintendent the ders, Frary & Clark plant in New Britain, stated this morning that the company's new celluloid factory in Plainville, will probably be completed He also said that the firm expects to begin operations at the new plant at some time within the first two weeks in October. The new factory is located on the old Johnson property adjoining the Connecticut company’'s trestle bridge on the east. The property was pur- chased about three years ago by Lan- ders, Irary & Clark. About a year at Lan- Center street in New Britain was totally destroyed by fire and soon af- terward the officials of the company announced that the plant would be re- placed with a modern brick structure to be erected on the company's prop- erty in Plainville. The work has been carried on rapidly and production will begin during the early part of mnext month. 1t was deemed advisable to build the new factory in an isolated location on account of the constant danger of explosions and fire which was demonstrated by the destruction brought about by the fire in New Britain. Mr. Lamb stated that about 50 op- eratives will be employed at the new factory which is four stories high. It is 200 feet long and 60 feet deep. The production at the plant will consist of celluloid and imitation ivory handles for cutlery. Huntsmen Arc Busy. Man local sportsmen may be seen every day now with their guns on their way to the woods on the out- skirts of the town, and it is evident that the hunting season is in full swing. As yet no reports have been received of extraordinary luck from any of the local nimrods. It may be well at this time to call attention to the law which was recently passed by ihe state legislature concerning the hunting of pheasants and grouse. special ob- jective of hunting expeditions for a number of years and it was forseen if the sport was allowed to con- tinue the much sougint game would soon be completely exterminated. For that reason the legislature recently female grouse or pheasants until Oc- tober 20, 1920. The peralty for such offense is a fine of §50. Game ward- ens believe that the hunters are in- fringing upon the new ruling and are constantly on the watch for possible offender: Bank Issues Statement. The Plainville Trust published a statement dated September 1 The assets of the bank total $755,806.37. The total deposits in the savings department are $369,364.23. The deposits in the com- mercial department are listed as $339,384.82. The bank has among its assets United States bonds to . the of $112,950, and United certificates of indebtedness valued at $10,000. This statement does not show a very great increase over the statement issued in midsum- | mer, as the summer months are usual- Iy considered among the worst for the business. Secure New Organist.
