The first hold-up occurred Sunday evening about 10 o'clock when Alex Dahlgren, a local milk dealer was shot at on Sisson avenue in East Ber- lin. Dahlgren got off of the New Britain trolley at the top of Galpin's Hall. He walked down the hill and on turning into Sisson avenue fd a dog barking. To protect himself he picked up a large stone, intending to throw it at <the dog should It attack him. A moment lat- er a man stepped from the bushes {n the side of the road and ordered Dahlgren to throw up his hands. Dahlgren on the spur of the moment threw the stone at the man and struck him. When Dahlgren started to run the culprit fired two shots after him but both missed him. Talk About Tax Rate. The adjourned town meeting will be held in the Town Hall the first Wednerday evening in March. At this time t',7 big question of the year, the tax rate, will be settled. Selectman Carter believes' the new tax rate would possibly be 22 mills. A promi- nent Berlin resident said this morn- | ing he thought possibly the fown might have to stand a 24-mill. tax rate. Francis Deming said he thought a 21 or 22-mill rate would be sufficient. The budget for the year Part of this will hudget, $67,222 is for the schools alone. Deducting the expected from rebate for the schools it is thought that about $86,800 wil! havo to be raised by tax- ation. A 21-mill rate would about cover this amount. Many have cfiuclud the fact that the schools call for over $67,000. When discussing this’ part of the question a well known resident sald this morning that the Berlin peopla should consider the fact that over VETTY AND HER BEAU ‘TS NOT ! SHE PROMISED T YO ME AND M GOING YO TAKE 1T ¢ 1,400 children or 30 per cent. of the | town’s population is attendin:: the lo- | schools. Berlin within the past few vears has built up a high standard in its schools and in order to keep pace with other state communities must be willing to give the schools this ap- propriation, he explains. Men to Alfred Barrett, commander of the Bolton-Kasica post ol the -American Legion, has called a meeting of all exsservice men ‘in Berlin, East Berlin and ' Kensington, to be held in §St. Ex-Service Mecet. Paul's Y. M. T. A. & B. ‘hall in Kens- | ington, Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. The local post has mot -been very active and has not held regular meet- ings, due chiefly to the fact that the men have been working overtime for the past year and have not had the opportunity to attend meetings. Now that several of the men are not work- ing or are on short time, it is thought that interest in the legion might be revived. All of the legion- men will be expected to bring a friend and all other service men whether sol- diers, sailors or marines, are asked to come. Birth Certificates. birth certificates have been filed at the town clerk's office: Lena Follo, to Mr. and Mrs. Raphael Follo of Swamp road, Kens- ington. on February 3.

The following In the basketball game played be- tween the second team of the Worth- ington Athletic association and the Dwarfs ‘of New Britain.in the Town Hall last evéning there .appeared to be a misunderstanding. between- the scorekeepers and they were unahle to ascertain -whether or not the last basket made by the Berlin team counted? It has therefore been necessary to have tne game played over again. This will be done on Monday, February 14. It is not known whether the score last night was 18-17 in favor.of the New Brit- ! ain team or 19-18 in favor of the lo- | cals The Berlin team will play the Wil- lows of New Britain at the Town | Han Thursday night of this week.

With the coming of spring should the conditions at that time permit such procedure, some streets of the town may have surface sewers laid. " This proposition has long been con- sidered by the selectmen . of the town, | having been brought up hefore the board some years ago. anduions during and after the war made it im- possible to carry out the plans. Labor was at a premium and the prices of pipe necessary for the laying, too ‘ steep to be considered. | The streets proposed are: Maple, ! East and part of Broad streat. There are no trolley tracks on these thor- | oughfares and the laying would not interfere with the trolley company traffic. These streets after the frost gets out of the ground, are almost impossible for traffic. The surface sewer will drain the water from the street by catch basins | and the result will be that these sec- ' tions will be in as good a condition | as others. 1t will, however, be a | big expense to the town. Quotations | on pipe will be sought, and an esti- mate on the entire contract will be given this spring. It is not believed that any trouble will be experienced in getting workers and the project will, in all probability, be . carried out. Johnson Will Admitted. The will of the late Charles John- son was heard at the probate court vesterday. Judge Merritt O. Ryder presided. The administrator's ac- count was read and accepted. The eontents directed the entire estate, | consisting of house and property, to j the widow and son. The estate was valued at $10,000.
