W. D. Dunham of Berlin, although present at the meeting did not say anything or express his opinions be- fore tire pubiic. He did however con- fide them to a certain few yesterday. Although he is willing\ and will p: his taxes and it not issuing a com- plaint, he thinks that the town taxes should not be levied as they are.“I believe that the people in Berlin well other cities should pay the taxes according to the size of the family,”” Mr. Dunham said, “not on the basis that they do now. Some tax- payers have no children or have small families and have to pay the same rate ol taxes as the man with ag large family who sends his children to the public school and is getting more out of the town.” When asked if he really thought this should be so. Mr. Dunham replied in thc affirmatjve, but he added that he knew it would never be done. , Mr, Dunham 'also brought up the question of paying extra taxes for sidewalks and the like. He thought that if the residents of Berlin street could have sidewalks he did not know why the people on Hudson street could not have them or why they had to help pay for something which was not a direct benefit to them. Both of Mr. were heard by to make replies. as Dunham’s questions others who ventured In regards to the second question it appears that the sidewalks were laid by the Berlin Village Improvement society seve: years ago and the property own on Berlin street only paid most of the expenses A prominent citizen Mr. Dunbam’s first that if he had his w be laid vice-versa and the.man with no family would pay the most. Tendered Shower. About 50 employes of the hand folding department of the American Paper Goods company tendered Miss Janet Thompson a miscellaneous shower at her home on Kensington road last evening.

Chimney Fire at Lewis idome on New | | | | Britain Road—Appeal to Women to Attend Child Welfare Meeting— Trumbull Magazine Out—Items. The Plainville Business and Im- provement association held its month- ly meeting last night and several more improvements were planned by them. The matter of having the scc- tion around the railroad station re- paired was discussed. The streets leading to and about the station are in very bad condition and usually are covered with mud. Traffic is hard with any kind of a vehicle and as this section is generally traversed heavily during the -day, the associa- | tion felt that something should be done toward fixing it. The case was reported to the railroad superintend- ent who was in favor of the repairs. It was decided, however, that nothing could be attempted until the spring when the frost gets out of the ground. | Neal Court, and all around the pass- enger station and throughout the en- tire railroad district that is used by people or vehicles, will be covered with gravel and macadam laid. Little has been done in the proposi- tion of having the telephone company { do away with having four and five parties on one line. This will be tak- en up between now and the mnext | meeting. It is proposed to have but three parties on one line and avoid considerable waiting. One interesting thing brought for- ward was that the Connecticut com- pany will be notified that the station- ing of trolley freight cars on the switch at the center, near Manning's Garage and the Soldiers’ nument, must be done away with. 'here have bheen several serious accidents avert- ed by careful drivers who are aware of the danger whenever trolley cars~ are stationed there. An automobilist coming . from the direction of New Britain, would instinctively look to- ward his left and keep an eye open for traffic coming from Southington. He therefore forgets the trolley car that may shoot out at any from behind the =arage and a colli- sion mal be the result, it is explained. The business men also will endeavor to have a state road made from Plainville to Southington and from Bristol to Farmington. The highway commissioner has been approached on the vieet and approves of the road. Tt will be a tremendous expense, how- ever. and possibly nothing definite will be attempted right away. It is planne{l, however. to have a little ac- complished each year on the road and eventually have a complete road laid. Health Report Health Officer J. N. Bull has com- pleted his report for the month of February. There have been but two cases of whooping cough, one of scarlet fever ond one tubercular case. The tuberculosis case was sent to the state hospital for treatment. Mrs. Ada Babcock The funeral of Mrs. A.

With the withdrawal of tha peti- | tion that had been presented at the meeting of the Town Plans commis- sion, for the estahlishment of a‘build- ing line on the east side of Whiting street, last Monday night, a new one has been made out to take its place. This one has been started by Henry Trumbull and other prominent busi- ness men of the town, and calls for the establishment of a lin®on both sides of Whiting street, from the Neri block at Central Square to Broad | street. The petition was prepared to- day and will be presented to the peo- ple interested in a few days. The proposition of establishing a building line started some weeks ago when the new addition to the Tani block across from the postoffice began The street in that section is very narrow, now being 58 feet wide, and plans are under way to establish a line that | will make it 73 feet across. This will necessitate the moving back of sev- eral buildings, but the main\object is to govern the erection of buildings in the future. When there i$ no definite line by which houses being built may be gzuided, the tendency is to crowd them out towards the curb and make a ragged appearance, it is argued. The Town Plans commission is vun- able to take action on the establish- ing of a building line unless, a peti- tion to that effect is brought forward. Many of the residents think that the commission has the authority to place such a line when the proposition is | brought before them. ’l‘his,ls not so, and therefore matters brought to the commission on street lines must be presented by metition only. Only then can action be taken by the board. were held at the in the prayer Forestville News, {and Mrs. HOSE Gu ...... $1.00 STREET lunch will be served at 7:30 o'clock this evening at the parlors.
