A. 10 Meet Tomorrow Night—FPoli- ties Bolling—Items of Interest The Kensington Fire district mem- bers gathered hall last night and before the s~er. | was com- pleted. carried through progressive legislation. The district by last night's meeting voted to in- stall & total of 60 electric lights throughout the district, lighting the principal streets and dangerous traf- flc posts: ratified the act of the legis- lature permitting the Kensington dis- trict to issue bonds to complete its project of getting running water in the district; laid a tax of one and one half mills on the grand list of 1920- 1921, the tax to be due and payable on the first day of November in this year The meeting was full of lively tilts hetween the chairman and opposition on the floor and between members of factions in the body. It was the larg- est meeting ever attended in the dis- trict and many present admitted that they never knew what a district meet- ing was until las: night The «ession was called to order by F. L. Norton, who also presided. B P. Moore served as clerk and read the call for the meeting, following which ho read the minutes of the last meet- ing. The only correction made was by Dr. C. F. Erickson, who told the meeting that the clerk had gotten his initials wrong. With the minor cor- rection made, the meeting then pro- coeded to business. Doctor Erickson as chairman of the commities on lights then made his re- port. He stated that the Connecti- cut Light and Power company agreed to install 100 or 200 lights at an an- nual 1ate of $16 for each light and a cost of $5,000 for the power line it- self. The committee did not think that satisfactory and entered into ne- gotiations with the company again, with the result that their: engineer made A personal trip over the district and reported that the company would agree to install 60 lamps at a cost of $30 each Seven of the lights would be placed on High street, others in the main dis- trict 5f Kensington, soma from Tow- ers to Upsons corner to the Foresters' hall “r.d to Murray’s home, and others from the depot up to the Congrega- tional church to Bowles’ home and the remai1ing from the New Britain road to Moreland farm. This, the chair- man seld, would give the district enough lights to care for the entire territory and at the cheapest prica possible. James Fitzsimmons asked if » light would be installed in front of tha library. His remark was well made for it was the opinion of the meeting that that is a bad #pot and should have a lght W. L. Alling, & former selectman and Interested citizen, scored a hit against the committes on several occasions. Buch constructive eriticism as Mr. Al- ling's, while apparently in opposi- tion was really the awakening of in- terest in tho meeting and decided tha meeting on their important questions. Mr. Alling was in favor of having more lights on streeta other than that lead- Ing to Moreland farm inasmuch as the Iatter road is quite straight and free in Foresters’ some very from had e WmAvad ta mnnend the report, to install the 60 lights, and to empower the committee to enter into a contract with the lighting com- pany. George Green asked how New- ingon go' its lights cheaper and was told Lhat the candle power is less. He parried and threw in a thrust which brought forth a lough when he retorted ‘Well it's light, isn’t 1t?"" Mr. Green is one of the residents who has to use a flashlight to find the road homo and he was in favor of having more lights which would benefit more people in the entire district. Mr. Fitzsimmons motion was called for and the vote was 19 to 17 in favor. The meeting voted to accept the act of tho legislature empowering the dis- trict to issue bonds for the purpose of laying water mains in Kensington. Dr. C. F. Erickson moved for adop- tion and George Green seconded it. It was brought out by the chairman that the committee 1a to mieet the water commissioners of New Britain in that city next Monday night. Mr. Norton told the meeting that New Rritain seems disposed to give Kensington running water and asked that everything be done at this time to have the proposition carried out. There vas no dissension over the water question for it has long been a thorn in the side of Berlin, that it has not water, and Kensington is anxioua to take the progressive step which means much _to the community at large. W I. Alling brought up the matter of sewage when the water is obtained, but it was a little previous according to the meeting consensus and there- fora was dropped Kenvington owes $1,000, which it borrowed some time ago to pay for lights, to meet the expense of putting the bil! through the Legislature, and other incidentals. Of that $1,000 it was reported that $460 has been paid in debts and a total of $540 remains. The tax question was then brought up. Mr. Norton stated that the committee in charge reported tnat a tax of one and one-half mills would pay the debts of the town for the period of one year. Richard Brown then put a motion in writing which called for the laving of the tax and incorporated that it should be collected on the first day of November and that the tax collector should receive the same salary as the man who collects the annual town tax. Mr. Fitzsimmons seconded the mo- tion and after some argument it was passed. L P. A. Meeta Tonight. N The members of the Independent Political association, nave been noti- fled that there will be a special and important meeting in Foresters' hall at 8 o'clock this evening. The call has not stated what important business will be discussed. The republicans and democrats wiil caucus this week and it is the general opinion that the I. P. A. men will wait and see what action these men take. If the I. P A. is anxious to get rid of the pres- ent republican regime, it is pointed out that they may write in names of their own candidates or go over and® help the democrats boost a strong man for office. As the I. P. A. contains many rcpublicans it would not surprise residents if they helped the demo- crats defeat some republican whom they will not endorse. Schools Re-open The schools of the town reopened this morning for the fall term with large attendances reported from every district. The Kensington children were jumping with glee for they went to schcol and “There wasn't any more.’ The Kensington school has been undergoing repairs for some time. ‘The paint is not yet dry and metal ceilings have not yet been in- stalled. It is probable that the chil- dren will go to school when the paint- | ing is completed as their wait for the installation of the metal ceilings might be a lung one. The other schools were all opened and the children reported in large numbers. The list of teachers, who will gcvern the activities of the schools this year, is as follows Teachers for 1921-1922, Hubbard School—Edith Northrup, Gertrude A. Quinn, Newport, R.

Whistle Repaired. The fire whistle at the Bristol Mills has been repaire by Fire Chief Ed- ward P. Prior and there will be no more cause for complaint that it does not work.
