BERLIN NEWS STONE FROM TRUCK INJURES J. H. WEBER Unusual Accident Occurs on Gal- pin’s Hill—Victim Not Badly Hurt PLANNING SCHOOL COURSE special Commiittee Meets to Preparce for ¥ull Term—Bat Little Sickness in Town—Dogs Blamed for Killing Goeso—Other News Notes. Weber, who lives on Gal- pin's hill, was struck by a stone pro- pelled from or by one of the state highway commission trucks yesterday Jfternoon at the top of Galpin's hill and suffered a severe cut on the top of his head. The automobile truck, surrying gravel for use in the repair »¢ the Middletown road, wWas proceed- ng along Berlin street in a northerly direction and turned to the right down the Middletown road. As the trdek turned, the large stone was hrown towards Mr. Weber, who was walking up the hill on the sidewalk on the north side of the road. The stone struck him on the top of the vend knocking off his hat and inflict- ng a large but not a deep cut, caus- ing much loss of blood, The impuct was so sudden and so strong that it wnocked Mr. Weber to the ground r. T. C. Hodgson was called Mr Weber Is reported today to be resting comfortably The strange part of the accident is that no one seems to know exactly yow it occurred. There seems to be 10 doubt that the hurling of the stone was caused by the automobile truck, but just in what manner is net known. One theory is that the stone was on tep of the pile of gravel that he truck was earrying and as the ruek swung around the sharp corner Ia the right, the centrifugal force gen- srated by the turn threw the stone off ind struck Mr. Weber. The second heory is that the throwing of the one was caused by the heavy truck wheels running over a loose stone in road thelr great weight y®, causing it to fiy to he side of the road on the same physieal principle that causes water to splash to the side when an auto runs hrough a puddle. Tt ix expected that Mr. Weber will pidly recover from his injury which s not as was at first thought Interest in New Conrse, The school bourd and B. R altar, superintendent, have received a sommunication from the faculty of the Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs, announcing plans of a new course which will be offered at Storrs beginning this fall. The course is a special tWo year courwe for the benefit of those men who have not the time, meney or inclination to spend on the regugiar four year course. It is pro. o n the work late in Oecto- hee id work on the farms [ nish the achool year about the time the John H. an merious Khow- spring work on the Connecticut farms begins. Several local young men have already shown an interest in this new course and it is expected that some will take the course this fall. Any others who desire information on this subject may get it from the school committee or from B. R. Showalter. Meeting of Special Committee, The special committee of the school board to revise the course of study in the local schools met last evening at the home of Miss Adele Murray in Kensington. On this committee are Miss Adele Murray, Miss Griswold, £, K. Honiss, F. N. Bacon, John McKean, Jr., and John Molumphy ex-offick The committee reported progress af- ter the meeting last night. Pogs Killed Geese, Selectman Dr. Griswold Dbelieves that all the evidence in the case of the killing of the geese on Maier's tarm in Blue Hills points to the fact that the killing was done by dogs and not by a fox. He pointed out that a fox will seldom kill more geese than it actually wante and when it does kill a goase it will carry the goose off. The case is different from the Prentice case which occurred recently. In that killing of the chickens, the dead chickens wre piled up so that they could be easily carried off. Very Little Sickness. Dr, Griswold reports that Berlin and Kensington as towns are in espe- clally good health. There is no acute sickness and there is practically no malaria, which is usually prevalent and widespread at this time of the year. Upson’s Corner Blocked. From the intersection of the Beech Swamp road and Farmington road, the Farmington road is blocked to a point just west of the railroad bridge so that traffic must go down to the Paper Goods road and then turn io the left as a detour. Bolton-Kasica Post Meeting. The Bolton-Kaisica post of the American Legion met last evening for the purpose of electing delegates to the state convention of American Leginn posis to be held in Bridgeport August 20 and 21. Action was post- poned because of the small attend- ance. It is probable that a meeting will be held next week when more of the members of the Post have re- turned fram their vacations so that a large attendance will be assured Foresters’ Mecting. The Foresters of Berlin and Ken- sington met last evening in the hall which they recently purchased from the Perlin Fair Grounds assocication and initiated four candidates.

The delay in completing the East Berlin-Berlin road has been due to lack of help principally. it was stated today. The contracting firm at present is finishing the Hartford turnpike road and upon the completion of that high- way, the necessary labor for the East Berlin road will be available, it was sadd The present condition of the highway has caused much unfavor- able camment. The expectation that gas would brought to East Berlin before the new concretd highway was laid, is not ma- terializing. A short time ago pressure was brought to bear upon the New Britain Gas company by local citizer that it would be a good idea to lay pipes to this end of the town before the new road was built. The company, it was said. Was ussured of a good business from this end of the town Nothing has been done, however, an:d as far as can be determined nothing will ever come of the project, at least not this vear. Mrs. W.

It is hoped that this outing will be the best that has ever been held. Every member and all townspeople possible are urged to take advantage of this get-together outing and at- tend. ap- the expenses. personnel « John Mac- Consider Gas Mains. Another important matter taken up at the meectine was the question of laying gas mains in Bohemia street. The Bristol-Plainville Tramway com- pany has been very fair in this mat- ter. Its necessary rule is that gas mains can be laid feet per cus- tomer without charge, the gas used will pay for laving 50 feet of pipe for each gas installation. On Bohemia street there are 650 feet of pipe to be laid and only seven cus- tomers, which means 300 feet in ad- dition to the regular 50 feet per cus. tomer. The company will lay this| additional pipe at such a cost as will | net them 123 per cent. upon their investment over and above the ori- ginal 50-foot ruling. As additional customers come in, ths charge per customer will be re- duced until such a time as the neces- sary 13 customers have been obtained. This is the same ruling that applies in connection with the houses being built upon the Plainville' Realty com- pany’s land. J. McKernan, chairman of the pub- lic utilities committee, is looking into | this matter and will find out just what the expense will be and report to the residents of Bohemia street. The public utilities committee also reports that the matter of improving the road on East Main street between the trolley tracks is still under inves- tigation with the highway commis- sioner’s ofiice in Hartford. 20% The industries committee has taken in charge the straightening of Plain- ville signs in the outer part of the town where a good many of them are in a more or less dilapidated condi- tion All of the signs on the out- skirts of the town were put up by the Plainville Business and Improvement association and the industries com- mittee is going to take care of their upkeep. The Roy committee reports that the campaign is just wbout reach- ing its height and before tonight the Boy Scouts hope to have obtained at least 300 s ning members to help carry on their good work. The money donated by these sustaining members will be used chiefiy for the payving of the rent for the rooms in Grange hall. The housing committee mectings where it has discussed methods of speeding up building, but nothing definite has been decided upon which a report can be made. The sidewalk committee is taking up the' matter of sidewalks in front of certain properties where no side- walks have been laid and has 0 taken the matter up with the board of selectmen, Drum Corps Subscriptions. The Plainville Fife and Drum Corps has succeeded in raising a number of private subscriptions up to the present time and hopes are cntertained for denations to exceed their ex- pected. If this will be so, the surplus will be used for future use of the Corps and it is most probable that a series of concerts will be given to the public. A drawing for a gold watch will be held in a few weeks and tickets are being sold by the mem- bers, The watch a donation to the corps by Mr. Himburg of the Himburg & Horn Jewelry store in New Britain. Bicycle Riders Warned. On receipt of complaints daily from residents t¢hroughout the town rela- tive to the incessant practice of the youngsters riding their bicycles on the public sidewalks, the selectmen of the town have posted warnings on the street poles that it must cease. Ar- rests with fines imposed have been made previous to the posting of the warnings, but did not seem to have any serious effect upon the offende They appear to ignore the fact that the sidewalks are for the public to walk upon and that they are being constantly endangered by the bicycle riding. A strict vigilance will be kept and all offenders will be arrest- ed. Scouts has had sum Brief Items. John Ives of Broad street is spend- ing a few days at Milford.
