Two roads in the Town of Berlin which have been in a bad condition for the past few months are at the present time being repaired by the state, as both are part of state high- ways. New Britain road, more fa- | millarly known as the Swamp road, | has_been in a very poor condition for some time and the town was asked to fix it by some residents, but Inas- much as it is a state highway the work was never done. The road is being restoned and tarred. The state is also aiding in'repair- ing the section of the highway i known as East Berlin road, which passes through the center of that |town. Residents here have likewlse wanted the road repaired for some , time. Dog Ticenses Due Town Clerk Arthur L. Woodruft has issued a last warning to the people of Berlin owning dogs that these animals must be licensed be- fore the second of May. He claims ! that there are over 300 dogs in the town according to records and so far only 100 have been tagged. After the second of the month there is a fine for all those who have not had their dogs registered.

J., Win Gradually Increase Work Until Time for Big Match. New York, April 27.—Champion Jack Dempsey today began formal training at Summit, N. J., for his match with Georges Carpentier in 2. Discarding his haphazard open air play schedule he did both road work and sparring and will hereafter work on a regular daily schedule. About his quarters he boxed eight rounds with two of his sparring part- ners. In the first setto he faced Joe Benjamin for four rounds and then for a similar distance. From now on Dempsey will grad- ually increase the amount of work he will do daily until he is following the regular routine which prevailed prepared for his contest with Jess Willard.

Adopted SATE POLICE ACTIVE HERE !Mnrlhn Rebekah Plans Aunniversary ‘ Monday Night—Clean-up Campaign Successful—Kappa Iota Entertain- ment Tonight—Other Ttems. With the possibility of New Brit- ain adopting the dayligac saving plan and starting business an hour earlier next Monday, Plainville will undoubt- edly follow suit. The selectmen of i\ the town are awaiting the action of i the manufacturers and merchants of | that city and when a denite decision , is réached, will notify thte factory ' officials here of the change. Practically all the factory officials here have a feeling of indifference re- garding the change. The heads of the Trumbull Electric Manufacturing company have not as yet discussed tha situation. They state, however,tlLat the feeling of the majoriy of the ew- | ployes is strongly against the savin. plan inasmuch as they get out at 4 o'clock in the afternoon any way aud find plenty of time for work at home. Edwin H. Hills of the Hills Manu- facturing concern, in discussing the situation, does not think thet the | men wish the change. The plant closes for the day at 4 o'clock and employes also have all day Saturday for leisure. Th~y do not approve ‘of starting an hour earlier and letting out at 3 o'clock. The feeling among the men is that plenty of time is found for their home gardens and other work after 4 o'clock, as the days are lengthening and they can work H beyond 6 o’'clock. { Chgrles Newton of the Newton * Manufacturing company feels that it does not make any difference with his ' employes as to what the change may { be. The plant will follow the rule as set. by other manufacturers and that of New Britain. This plant also closes at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and will !probabl_\' remain so the greater part of the summer months. The employes feel that the saving of an hour a day was all right during the time of the war when it was needed, but not at present. The Plainville Manufacturing com- pany, working 10 hours a day, will do as other local plants see fit to follow. ‘The workers prefer the standard time. Practically all of the merchants are in favor of keeping the time as it is, but will adopt the hour earlier should the factories do so in order to .avart confusion on trading time. State Police Active, The state- police spent considerable time here yesterday and last night to see that the auto headlight law is being observed. In the evening they were stationed @t the corner of Farmington avenue and New Bri- tain road, stopping many autoists, inspecting of the lighting system and i==ning warnings.

The residents of the town re- sponded readily to the clean-up cam- paign conducted by the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Three teams Were in action and the town pre- sented a much better appearance.
