BERLIN NEWS BURGLARS GET $700 AT E. BERLIN STORE Robért Gole’s“;laa Entered in Early Morning. TWO SUSPECTS ARE FREED Men Living in Kilby House Are Ar- rested by Constable Hackett—Fresh Air Fund News—Berlin Items of Interest—East Berlin Bits. One of the most daring robberies which has occurred in this town took place early Saturday morning when the store owned by Robert E. Cole, in East Berlin, was entered and stock, merchandise and money amounting to $700 was stolen. The entrance was gained through one of the windows which was “jimmied” open. The stolen stock includes shode, stockings, cigars, cigarettes, watches, shirts, etc. A bag containing $40.15 was also tak- en. Between 400 and 500 pennies were taken out of the cash register as well as the key to the gasoline pump. With the key the culprits managed to open the gasoline tank outside of the building and filled their automobile truck with gas. The truck used was a Vim, it is be- lieved, as several of the young peo- ple in the town who were returning trom the barn dance in Cromwell, saw a Vim truck stalled in front of the store about 12 o'clock. They thought that the machine was out of gasoline or stalled and that the driv- er had left it there until morning. Previous to this time, the truck was seen on a side road Robert Cole, proprietor of the store, was asleep in the rear of the store all night and knew nothing of the robbery until he awoke Saturday morning. Mr. Cole is hard of hear- ing. This is the third attempt to make an entrance into this store. The first attempt took place about six weeks ago but the would-be burglars were scared away. The second at- tempt took place on Monday night of last week. The culprits had suc- ceeded in opening the window when they were again scared away. Immediately after the break was discovered the local authorities were notified. Mr. Lewis has the case in his hands. It is believed that burglars made their way Hartford as several empty s s were found along the way yesterday Repairing Old Road. Work was begun this morning on the repairing of the road leading from Corrigan's corner to the Moun- tain road. This road is in the Blue Hills district of the town. The stretch of roadway from Mountain road to West Peak has recently been repaired by the Meriden Y. M. C. A. at a cost of over $500. Selectman George B. Carter sent the town teams to this section of the town to complete the roadway in the Town of Berlin. A camp is conducted at the peak by the Y. M. C. A. of Meriden. Arrested Last Night. Two young men giving their names as Joseph Miller and Albert Shrine were arrested at the Kilby House last night as suspicious characters. The arcest was made by Constable John Hackett at about 10 c¢'clock. It is claimed that the men left the Kilby House every evening at about 11 o'clock and did not return, again until about 2 or 3 o'clock in the sariy morning. What the men were thd suspicion of the local authorities. When questioned the men claimed that they could not sleep because of the heat. They said that they went down to the side of a nearby pond where they found their night's rest. Because of a lack of evidence the men were allowed to go this morn- ing. They have been in town only one week. Frensh Air Fund Note. The list of invitations to the Tribune Fresh Air children from New York city has been sent to headquar- ters and the party is scheduled to arrive in Berlin a week/from Wed- nesday. Fifteen youngsters ranging from six to ten years are to. be en- tertained in hospitable Berlin and Kensington homes for two weeks, children who would have absolutely no chance of a country vacation with- out the kindness and generosity of these members of this community. The laurels still remain with Ken- sington, as they have the majority to care for. Unfortunately, the pre- valence of whooping cough in East Berlin made it seem wiser not to bring any children there at this time. The committee hopes to have some general gathering or picnic for these little guests, and would be glad of of- ters for auto rides for the different groups. Mrs. George Green is chair- man for Kensington, Mrs. William Shepard and ‘Miss Helen Rohm for Berlin. State Police Active. The state ‘police were active again in Berlin last evening and worked along the Berlin turnpike until an early hour this morning.

T PLAINVILLE NEWS PLAINVILLE TRUST 10 BUILD ADDITION Directors Vote to Double Present Working Space SAFE DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT “Prime Mover” in Recent Marino Revelations—Bascball Results Over The Week-end—Other Interest. Items of The Plainville Trust company has awarded a contract to William H. Allen and Co. of New Britain for the construction of an addition to the present home of the bank which will more than double its present working space. The contract calls for an ex- penditure of about $20,000. The con- tract for plumbing and heating was awarded to John Simpson, a local plumber. Atmospheric heating will be the system installed and will include the old as well as the new portion of the bank. Spring and Buckley of New Britain has the contract for lighting and W. P. Crabtree of the same city is the architect. The contract for the building was awarded at a full session of the exe- cutive committee and _board of di- rectors. The bids of the various con- tractors were discussed but all of them were higher than expected. Allen‘and Co. were low and as they built the present building, which is satis- factory, the ‘contract was voted to them. For the past year there has been a desire for an increase in working and lobby space due to the enlarge busi- ness which the bank has been doing. In regular business hours the lobby Wwas unable to acccommodate the busi- ness comfortably and the clerks were also hindered by lack of sufficient working space. The addition will do away with this. The new portion of the bank will be 34 by 36 feet and will extend west and south. The main lobby will run east and west with the paying teller, receiving tellér, bookkeeping window, etc. included within the stretch. The south loby wil run to safety deposit Vvaults. There will be a new fire proof and burglar proof vault installed at a cost of several thousands of dollars. The door to the vault wil be 14 inches of chrome steel while the entire inside of the vault will bo lined with the same steel 1 1-2 inches thick. The steel is said to be safe against all kinds of attacks burglar tools includ- ing the new flame torch. The safe deposit vaults will be in- stalled after a demand from many people, especially those from nearby towns and cities who would like to keep their valuables there. The de- mand will now be granted. There will also be coupon booths in the new section designed especially for the business patrons of the bank. The directors will have their meeting room in the rear of the bank, as cus- tomary in other institutions of this kind. The office of A. A. McLeod, treasurer, will be located on the left side of the new lobby near the safe deposit department. This will fill a’ much needed improvement in the line of special conferences necessary in business with the treasurer which the present lay-out did not afford. Ground will probably be broken for work this week and the completion of the contract is expected probably by late October. The hardest portion will be the installation of the massive vault which will require several tons of «concrete for construction. The Mozler Safe company has been awarded the contract for the new vault. The bank is enjoying-prosperity. It was founded on January 6, 1909, when A. A. McLeod came to town and started in at its head. A few years of success followed under the name of the First National bank but it was seen that there was much busi- ness which a trust company could handle in town and the charter of the national institution was surrendered in favor of one from the state. Since then the volume of business increased by leaps and bounds until today the assets of the bank reach the $1,000,- THE OLD HOME TOWN [ BlASIE BENSOMN GRPCER ~F/,eE/~sw?
