O. Site-— Howard Gibney Critically ML Martin Hazen, 43 years old, died suddenly at his mome in East Berlin at 5 o'clock yesterday morning frora an attack of heart disease. Mr. Hazen's death came as a surprise to the community, as he apparently had been in the best of health. ie had been active in the town's welfare and East Berlin was a past was president of the Library association. He master of Washington lodge, No. $1, A, F A. M., of Cromwell. He was also a member of the Hast E lin lodge of the Knights of Pythias ahd the Woodmen of America, hav- ing been treasurer of the latter. Up until his death, Mr. Hazen was em- ployed a foreman at the Berlin Construction company. Mr. Hazen is survived by his wife and four chil- dren—a son Byrton and three daughters, Iris, Bertha and Ida. He is -also survived by four brothers, Mahlon being the only one residing in this section of the country. The funeral will be held Wednesday after~ noon at 2:30 o'clock and will be in charge of the Masonic order. and Another Site Proposed. Another post office site was pro- posed this morning, but whether the owmers would allow the property to be so used is a question. The former Brandegee studio, across from the town hall, is suggested as a good lo- cation. The studio has not been used since William Brandegee’s death and if it could be obtained for use as a post office it might prove acceptable to the community. Acting-Postmaster Barfett has not vet recefved word from Washington granting him per- mission to remove to the Flannery sites He is anxiously awaiting offi- ial word so that he can change the location of the office, but he can do hothlng without official sanction, he explains.

Commiittee Members ‘eachers—Several Cases in The board of selectmen has posted notice of a special town meeting to be held Monday evening, December 29, to take action on the’ petition of the instructors in the Plainville Grammar school for ‘an increase of $200 over the saluries agreed upon in signed contracts before the open- ing of the school yvear last September. will be represented at ° meeling by the committee which appeared at the school bhoard m ing. The commiftee consists of three teachers, Miss Inez Gladwin, Miss M bel Styring and Miss Edna Trave Selectman Johnson could not be lo- cated this morning and thus far noth- ing has been heard of the attitude taken by the bodard of selectmen on the' matter. It is reported on good authority, however, that a number of prominent men, active in town af- fairs and who use good judgment in deciding upon the expenditure of the town’s funds, are backing the teach- ers to the limit of their ability in working for the proposed increase. The opinion seems to be that, whether or not such an increase is legal, the teachers deserve it and need it on ac- count of the high cost of living. Frank G. Osborne, a. member of the school committee, id this morning that the board sees no other may out of the situation but to grant the de- mwands of the teachers. “The state says that we must keep the schools running,” said Mr. Osborne, “and the teachers threaten to resign if the town does not comply with their demands, s0 we are between two fires, and it seems that we will have to grant the raise.” Interviews with warious prominent men confirm the belief that the meet- ing .next Monday evening will result in the instructors securing more money and that the schools will be kept open.
