BERLIN NEWS WORTHINGTON FIRE DISTRICT TO MEET Water and Lighting Questions of Prime Importance PlERPOilT— CKEON WEDDING school Registration Largest in Town's AL, Go Fish- Reported— History—Barret, Et ing = Auto Accident Other Iems on Interest. The Worthington fire district wi hold an adjourned meeting at the Town Hall in Berlin on Friday night of this week at 8 o'clock, standa-d time. The purpose of the meeting will be to hear the report of the committee on lighting, to acknowl- edge the act of the last state legisla- ture in granting the district the right to issue bonds for the purpose of in- stalling a water system in the town, to hear the report of the committee on sidewalks and to transact' any other business of importance to come before the meoting. The call for the meeting has been issued by B R. Showalter at the request of the president, Major F. L. Wilcox The meeting of Friday night will be of most importance due to the lighting and water issues being at stake, At this time the progress of the town will be determined. The residents now have the opportunity of wecuring a large number of addi- tional lights at a nominal cost and they also have the opportunity of se- curing & much needed betterment to the town, a' water system. The sidewalk committee will re- port on the recently repaired walks along Worthington Ridge. These tar walks were built several ywars ago and were in bad need of repair. Dur- ing the past few weeks the walks have all been relaid and are now in excel- lent condition from a point opposite the Town HaJl to the corner where the Berlin post office is located The commit appointed by the district te iInquire into th lighting situation will also be ready to re- port. These men have been in con- ference with the officials of the Con- necticut Light and Power company in New Britain and will probably of- fer the same proposition to the meet- ing as was offered last week to the Kensington voters who decided to accept the proposition of $30 per light for a period of a year. At the last district meeting the man who spoke in favor of having more lights was appointed chairman of the committee to report back at the coming meet- Ing. He offered as objection that it wan not right for some of the resi- dents to have the use of lights while the rost remal without thelr ben- | efits but still paid for them. This| started the agitation which is expe ed to result in a vote on Friday for placing a large number of additional lights in the borough and principally on streets which now are without lghts It s considered as a matter of | fact that the meeting will report tavorably and accept the legislature's ction In permitting lssuance of bonds or the purnose of installing a water stem in the town. The legislature nt word of its act to the district alrman and he must take It up d have it aoted upon by the meet- It then has to be reported back the legislature as approved or un- orably acted upon. Without acting orably upon this legislative act district, It Is understood. would of the town th water question will be brought befor: the district members for action. In years past this subject has'been call- ed up time and time again only to go down to defeat at each succeed- ing call, This time, it is the opinion of the leading citizens, the~district will make history by deciding favor- ably on the matter, It really looks now from the talk golng about this section of town as if Berlin and Kens- ington are at last to step up on the lovel with the majority of the 20th century towns. The committee in charge of looking up the matter will meet with the wa- ter commissioners of New Britain in that city tonight. From present reports it is expected that the report of the New Britain men will be fa- vorable to granting water rights to both Kensington and Berlin districts. The Hardware City commissioners are reported now as considering the City £ New Britain to have a plentiful supply of water and enough of it to supply it to the nearby towns of Ber- lin, Plainville and Newington. The Plainville people, however, have their own supply and Berlin's chance for gotting the much needed commodity would appear even brighter. A Good Fish Story All the fish markets in town this morning were overstocked with fresh water fish as the result of a little trip by several of Berlin’s most prominent men over Saturday night. Henry Austin is the one reported to have headed the delegation which went to Bashant Lake, near Moodus. Other members of the party were Post- r Ambrose Barrett, Ernest Lar- Stanley Barrett, Henry Porter. The men left early urday night and spent the balance of the night before and the e Sabbath morn- ing trying their luck One had them embarking in a Paige car for the water scene, while another said a five ton truck conveyed them In order to carry back the catch. One member of the party said they rad to crowd themselVes in the front seat as the much talked of results overcrowded other portions of the vehicle. Ambrose Barrett was chef for the party. It was intimated that the name was simply applied, as the party saw no results which could be called appetizing. To cover up for Darrett's post, Henry Porter served as dish washer—but he had no great amount of work to do. mast son, Legion Meeting Tonight Members of the Berlin post of the American Leglon will gather in T.

PLAN FOR EXHIBIT OF GARDEN CROPS Juior Food Amy Fair at Grange Hall REPUBLICANS T0 m Wins A, Opponents—Aces MEET ille Te: nst Heav- ier Lose With Heavy Score—MoLcod-Rogers Wed- ding Today—Ttems. The officials of the Plainville cultural Agri- ssociation will hold a meet- ing at the Plainville Town Hall night at 8 o'clock for the purpose of completing plans for the annu fair and garden crops cxhibit to be held at ( nge hall on: Friday and Saturday of this weeek. The fair will be known the Plainville Junior Food Army fair and will be open to adults as well as children. The fol- lowing men are the officers of the Plainville Agricultural association and they have been instrumental in placing the organization where it stands today: President, Lucius S. Mills of 58 East Main street; secre- tary, Henry Trumbull; treasurer, T. A. Lyman and superintendent of box ventals, Henry Trumbull. Principal Orrin L. Judd of the local Grammar school, is one of the directors and has done much towards the welfare of the association and has Kept its work before the pupils at the school. The fair will actually be operated under the joint supervision of the local association and the Hartford County Farm Bureau. E. F. Scoville is the local director for the Hartford County Farm Bureau. It is the plan of the officials to have Professor Baker of Storrs Agricultural college, attend the fair and to act as judge of the exhibits. The children at the school are already planning for the events and are taking a great interest in the affair. The fair will be open to any person living in Plainville and premiums will be given to each class. Exhibits for persons under the age of 18 years will he placed in the junior . Al hibits must be placed in the Grange hall by day of this week. They al must be no later 1 o'clock at noon. They will be on exhibition until Satur the next when the owners can have them during the afternoon. All exhibits must be the product of the exhibitor. Last year when the exhibit was held, there was a large attendance during the exhibitions and the children at the school displayed their products with pride. Plans are being made to have the one this season surpass all others if possible. Suitable awards will be given those with the best Appearing products and a list of prizes will be published tomorrow evening to- than following the meeting of the directors | tonight Bascball Notes. The baseball ability of the Plain- ville team was recognized in Portland Saturday afternoon when the locals took a hard fought victory by the score of 5 to 4. It was the best game the team played this season. Plainville is playing a series with Portland for the championship of the Connecticut Inter-State league. The locals won in their division as did the Portland aggregation in their section and the two are now fighting it out. It is probable, however, that Plain- ville baseball fans will have to pay for their lack of support to the team duri the past season by virtue the fact that all the games may be staged in Portland. On Saturday there were perhaps 600 or 700 person at were perhaps 600 or 700 persons at field it is fortunate to have 50. Natur- ally the receipts from 700 aro better than from the 50 and therefore the local team would be foolish to lose money just to play in Plainville. If Plainville will play the next game in Portland, the team there has guaran- teed a crowd of 1,000 people and a sum of meney which would clear the debt of the local team and add a nice stipend fo- the reserve portion of the treasury. The local management is expecting to hear from local fans, saying whether they want the game here or in Portland. Any communication forwarded to the local managers signed by enthu- stic fans will guarantee them a fast gamé at the local grounds this Sat- urday providing they assure the man- agement a good attendance. This will give the Plainville fans an opportunity to show their sporting blood and their support to the team. Caucus Tonight. All roads will lead to the town hall tonight at 8 o'clock when the repub- licans will hold a caucus. It is ex- pected that there will be some sur- prising results and many are of the opinion that a gencral shake-up in the town’s officers will be seen tomorrow. However, as it stands now, from the viewpoint of many prominent men, the town is pretty well balanced politically and opinions differ as to what the change will be. During the past vears, the present selectmen have discharged the duties of their offices with good will and have served in their respec- tive positions faithfully. It is not be- lieved therefore, that any great change will be seen in this department. As for the constables, better system could not be had. All these men have acted to the best of their judgment in the capacity of their cuties and their unanimous re-election will be the best thing that could be done. The other off will be in the same position should the present holders be appoint- ed again, and it is possible that the majority of the voters will follow this rule. The women will show their author- ity at 1he caucus tonight according to ports, and will hand in their ballots as their right provides for them to do. This will mean something else to consider their minds m have a4 tendency to run in different chan- nelz a McLeod-Rogers Nuptials.

A. Sanders, federal crop sta- tistician for the New England district, reported today. Improved weather in Aroostook county, Maine, helped potatoes there and prospects now are for a:crop of about 23,000,000 bushels, against 15 700,000 bushels last year Mr. Sanders said. The entire Maine potato crop changed from a prospective 21,835,000 bushels August 1 to 24,639,000 bushels September 1, due entirely to gains in Aroostook. Size and quality are good. Corn has grown remarkably well in New gland notwithstanding the drought and is much above the aver- age gcneral Oats are about 17 points below average, being poorest in Maine and Connecticut and best in Rhode Island. The other grain crops are short generall) Spring wheat, which attained considerable import- ance during the war has mainly dis- appeared except in ‘Aroostook county Maine and Addison county, Vermont. Field beans are a good crop gem- crally as are most garden crops ex- cept onions, which have not grown well. Connecticut valley onions are around 58 per cent. to 60 per cent. of a full crop, growth having been stop- ped by discase and insects. Peaches have turned out 75 per cent. to 80 per ceat. of full crops in Massachusetts and Connecticut and the quality is good while in New Hamp- shire and Rhode Island the crop is much lighter, due ‘o spring damage.
