BERLIN NEWS SPECULATION RIFE ON POSTMASTER JOB. $1,800 ~ Salary May Attract Numerous Candidates SCHOOL EXHIBITS TODAY| - Ambrose Barrett Would Prove Pleas- ing to Berlin Residents—Make Voters Tomorrow—Other Items | From Three Districts. The principal discussion about .1own mow is about who will be the next postmaster. Several names have been suzgested as men who might get the position but the general cor . sus of opinion is for Ambrose rett, one of the returned ex men. He seems to be the most cal candidate for the position has th2 support of the enlire munity, in fact it was siated morning that a petition was being céreulated ahout town in his hehalf. While the position n: a measure is a civil service ore, the government at this time is giving preference to ex-service men in government posi tlons as far as possible. This fact alone would malke it almost certain of his appointment to the office. It does. not necessarily stand that the rkan standing the highest in (he civii service exam will zet the job, as the president appoints a mar from a group who attain best standing. Mr. Barrett has backing of the community, and fact no doubt will get him the appoirtment. The position carries salary of $1,100 and -$192 for.an assistant, meaning a tatal saliry of $1,300. 1f Mr. F ( rette fakes the position without an assistant he can get the full salary Mr. Barrett was wounded in the arm while in the service making it impossible for him to do any heavy work. If the citizens in Berlin can get him the position and he will ac- cept, they are going to pull all the ropes for him. The position as post- master would continue indefinitely as los'g as he wanted it. The fact that the preseat administration demo- eratic will be a big help as Mr. Bar- rett at the present time has been put up by the old machine on the democratic ticket as tax collector. There is no doubt that if Mr. Barrett can gct the postmaster's job he will thpow over the nomination for tax collector, it does not carry any- where near the salary that the pos master’s. position carrics. The peo- ple of Berlin feel that the honot ghould go to Mr. Barrett and will work to that end. Children Exhibit Today.

The nexi business taken 1 the election of a town committee A. Castle, whe has been chairman of the democt ccmmittee for the past 15 yeurs, addressed the meeting and told those that, at a re- cent meeting of the committee, he stated that the party needs a new chairman, preferal.ly a vounger man who can keep in touch with the younger element, {he mecmbers of which are being made voters, and a mun who can give the position the closc a1nd careful attention necessary for performing the duties successful- ly. Mr. Castle thanked the members of the ty for tb he: co-opera- tion received by him during his term of service hut asked to he excluded from th: rominations this vear. Mr. Castle then nominated William J. Foran for the position of chairman and the nomination v promptly carried. Mr. Foran is a “live wire’” and has become well known through his activities in connection with the fire department and with Court Gen- eral Lawton, I”. of A. He thanked the members of the party for their ex- pression of confidence in his ability in tendering the nomination to him and asked for a continuance of the support which has been given to Mr. Castl Mr. Castle replied to Mr Foran's request and assured the new chairman of the good will of the party. It was then voted to empower the chairman to select nine members for the committee in preference to having them elected at the meeting. This has been the custom among local demo- crats for the past few vears. At this point the meeting was adjourned To Make Votels Tomorrow. Plainville as in several other Connecticut, there has been deal of misunderstanding as to the date on which voters will be made. The general statutes formerly contained a secction providing that the selectmen should nicet to make voters on the second Saturday before the town election. This statute has been amended and now provides that voters shall be made en the third v before election. For this reason the selectmen will meet to- morrow to make new voters. Many citizens were under the impression that work was to be done a week from tomorrow and the selectmen wish to make the point clear. Mixup Over Notice.

According to law such an adver- tisement must be signed by each ind vidual member of the board. A ques tion has arisen as to the legality of the meeting on this account and a lively discussion of the question took place last evening among the men present at the democratic caucus. The meeting is to consider cutting a new street through the property of Louis Higgins to the Trumbull houises on East Broad street. It is considered passible that Mr. Higgins, if he decides to oppose the project, will come out best in the controversy There is an unconfirmed rumor be- ing circulated in town that the Rock- well-Drake .company has purchased the Higgins property and if this is true it will put an entirely different face on the matter. Water Main Bursts. The water main burst at a point in Central Square at noon yesterday. The pr ure of the water raised the pave- ment in front of the monument mak- ing it bend up and down like a spring- board. About half a dozen men were at work repairing the break until nearly midnight. Owing to the man- ner in which the street was torn up it was found necessary to station an h.ffi- cer there all night to protect passing automobiles. Moreno's Busy Night. Officer Philip Moreno was trying the doors on his beat this morning about 2 o'clock and found that P. Jd. Prior had left the store without locking up. An attempt to get Mr. Prior on the telephone was-unsuccessful and the officer, with Canstable Henry David, who was on duty at the break in the water main, remained at the store. Officer Moreno left to make his round of the center and discovered that Manning's garage had heen entered within a few minutes. He returned for Constable David and they routed Mr. Manning out of bed. Moreno had seen 2 man going down Fast Main street from the direction of the gar- age and Mr. Manning followed in his automobile. On the New Britain road they found a man walking to New Britain and he was taken to the }()Ck- up in the car. He was evidently inno- cent of the zreak at the garage, but ad- mitted having escaped from the Hart- ford Retreat. He gave his name as Francis Murphy. When a sked why he was confined at the retreat he said, om Spellacy had me put there. Thinking that a mistake had been made in his n.an, Manning drove over the New Britain road again and picked up a man who gave his name as Jo- seph Gmiendl 334 Church street, New Britain. Meyerowitz & Tevin, proprietors of the Central market, reported to the police that their store was entered and about %5 in pennies taken from the cash register on Wednesday night.
