The question of erecting a Junior High school in Berlin to accommo- divte about a hundred pupils who wish to extend their education beyond a grammar school training, will not be the only subject of discussion at the next school board meeting. It was Jearned this morning that several of the teachers In the four schools in the town have announced their in- tention of not ‘returning to Bérlin next season. This means that the wehoo! board has got to get busy and wecure enough teachers for the com- ing year and, with the great demand and high salaries offered teachers in other parts of the state, the board has % hard problem to sofve. Also the matter of relieving the present con- gestion in all of the primary schools will have to be brought up and given due consideration. None of the mem- bers of the school board have as yet made any statements as to what the board is to do regarding securing a competent teaching staff. The mut- ter of relleving the congestion in all of the schools has been before the board for the past year and the only thing that can be done is to build ad- ditfons on to the present bulldings. B. R. Showalter, superintendent of the schools of the town of Berlin, re- cently reported that the situation in Perlin is very bad and he has found it a hard proposition to aoccommodate all puplls who wished to enter the primary schools last year. From the present indications the number of puplls entering the schools next fall will be larger than last year and where the children are to be put, he does not know. This matter must be taken up immediately and more room must be secured before September. The Kensington Grammar school is erowded. The busement and recrea- tion rooms have been turned iInto school rooms and all available space has been taken. The only thing that remains s to have an addition made on the present building. If another story is added on the school Kensing- ton will be given four large rooms, which would accommodate the in- crease for several years This same proposition may be applled to the East Berlin schoo! where conditios are also bad. In Berlin the only thing that is possible is to have an pdditional room built on to the presen: rooms. Campaign Continues. E.

The posters will be ready early next week and will be displayed in windows of several stores on approval of the gen- eral committee. The matter of having tickets printed for the picnic will also be given consideration Monday night. No Concrete. Owing to the fact that manufactur- ers of concrete have failed to fur- nish the Lane Construction company with enough material, the construc- tion of the Berlin turnpike has been somewhat delayed during the past two weeks. The officials of the company report that they placed an order with a New York concern for 30,000 tons of concrete and have been only al- lowed 10,000 tons. The company re- ports that efforts are being made to secure the material from other cam- panies, but, owing to the lahor situa- tion together with the poor freight facilities the material will not reach Berlin for some time. However, as the labor situation of the Lane com- pany is bad, there is enough cement to keep the gang at work until an- ather shipment of the material ar- rives, Work on the East Berlin road is progressing rapidly and the officials of the construction gang report that the road will be ready for use early in August. Foresters Mecet, The local lodge of Foresters held a meeting last evening to hear the re- port of the finance committee in re- gard to the purchase of the hall member was asseswed $3.

The trolley wire at the foot of Damon’s hill was torn down early vyesterday afternoon and traffic was held up for several hours. People wishing to get to Warthington Ridge or the depot were compelled to walk A large elm tree at the foot of the | hill was broken off by the wind and in falling caught in the wires trolley cars were out of commission until 4:30 o'clock Autos Are Stalled. Owing to the heavy rains yesterday and last night the road beneath the | rallroad bridge in Kensington was flooded and all trafic was impeded during the day. Several autoists who attempted to pass through the water stalled their motors and their cars had to remain beneath the bridge until early this morning when the water receded Berlin Briefs, Major Frank 1.

The Modern Woodmen society held a special meeting in their rooms at Athletic hall last evening. It is reported that George Cole has disposed of one of his houses on Wil- cox avenue extension. Joseph Wetherill and Arthur Law- rence are having their homes wired for electric lights. Services will be held fn the local churches Sunday as usual. Children’s Day exercises at the Mecthodist church will be held the last Suncd of this month instead of July 4 as announ(cd previously. Lightning Creates Scare. The electrical storm of last evening while not severe generally, threw a scare into passengers at the East Ber- lin depot. During the course of the storm the lightning struck the elec- tric wires near the station, causing the electric light bulbs within the station to break, the glass falling to the station floor. No explanation could be assigned for the peculiar manner in which the lightning caused the bulbs to break. It is thought, however, that the brass casing about the glass was melted by the terrific heat generated, resulting in the breaking of the bulbs. The station was plunged into sudden darkness as the consequence, Library Campaign to Open. An active campaign for the in- crease of members of the East Ber- lin Library association is to be start- ed in the near future.

This will enable | the married men to bring their wives. It is expected that the cars will leave the Rock in time to arrive in Plain- ville again at 5 o'clock in the eve- ning. The number attending this year is far larger than that of the preceding years, due to the fact that the concern has added more to its | employment list. City Mail Service. On July the town of Plainville will have had six years of inter-town mail service by the local post office. It ‘will be remembered that during the first term, served by Postmaster | Prior, the posi office was situated on West Main street, Where the Atlantia & Pacific store is now located, and, due to the fact that there were no mail deliveries throughout the town, ex-: cepting that of the rural districts, great inconvenience was had i? ob- taining mail. Through the efforts of the posimaster, the office was moved, 1o its present location on street, and under his administration an inter-town mail service was ob- tained. Two carriers were appointed and retain their positions yet. Gordon Hurtson and Pearl Smith were the men who received the appointment. At that time the carriers received a minimum salary of $800 per year but with the new salary schedule ef- fective July 1st their salary will have been increased $1,000, making a maximum of $1,800 per year. This new scale includes all clerks and carriers. Of this increase, two and one-half per cent will have to be re- turned to the government to provide for the pension fund according to the new bill that had been passed. With the new streets that are under consideration at Mountain View, there will be a demand for another carrier for that district. At the present time the rural carrier covers that territory. Boy Finad. A young lad hailing from New Bri- tain with the intention of shooting up the town, was fined in court yes- terday morning by Judge M. O. Ryder. The charges were carrying a weapon and discharging it without a permit. Special Officer Doyle of the Standard Steel and Bearings com- pany made the arrest. The young lad started his rampage in front of | the Standard Steel office with a 32 caliber revolver, making use of sev- eral objects for targets. The pistol was taken away and he was given a reprimand. Food Sale Success.

King said today that this meeting will be The pre- dicament that case of Frank Hahn, who was re- cently dropped from the department for conduct unbecoming an officer.

At the police station he story having “still” received information that a was being maintained in the place. The story was not accepted as being probable.
