The annual report of the town officers of the town of Berlin has been completed and will be ready for dis- tribution before the eleetion on Mon- day. The selectmen have arranged an interesting report ‘telling of the work| done by that body of men within the past year. The report of the selectmen follows: “The annual report of the select- men is herewith presented for your study and consideration. We have kept within the budget . except when authorized by vote of the town. The concrete road to East Berlin has been completed and paid for at a cost to the town of $12,689.51. A drainage system bas bee from Upson's Corner to the railroad at a cost to the town of $1,132.98. A new steel and concrete bridge has been built across the Mattabesseft River at East Berlin, connecting the town of Cromwell, at a cost to the town of $2,245.16. The probate court expenses from 1914 to 1919, inclusive, due the city of New Britain has been paid, costing $383.70. Two new concrete bridges have been built, one on the Lower Lane, near the old fair grounds, costing $1,100.00, and the other near the residence of Isaac Porter¥n Kensington, costing $700.00. Two new wooden bridges in the Blue Hills district have been rebullt. T'wo large and several small bridges have been eliminted by using corrugated iron culverts. The abutments of the large stone bridge near the residence of C. J. Thompson have been rebuilt. The iron bridge mnear the railroad culvet in Kensington has been repaired and a new concrete floor laid. A large number of smaller bridzes have been repaired with material taken from those replaced. Many bad portions of road have bzen rebuilt with cinders or gravel in different sections of the town, often with the assistance of residents and their teams at a comparatively small cost to the town. Many of the dirt roads have been scraped and the bad places filled. The town hall bas been recently painted and the chimneys relaid. The electric lighting system has been over- hauled and the seats repaired. Fifteen cords of wood have been cut from the town lot in Westfield and moet of it stored in the basement of the hall. New filing racks of the town records have been installed in the vault. Fences at the Town Farm have been rebuilt and various repairs made at the house. Some new guide boards have been place at important wgorners which “Martrord Auto were donated by the club, : In closing we feel that many permanent improvements have been made during the year.” Respectfuily submitted, GEO. B. CARTER. ass WILLIAM H. SCHROEDER, JAMES BROWN, Poard of Selectm Short Special Meccting. That the Berlin voters were not in en harmony with the call of the special mceting last night was shown when within a very few minutes’ after the meeting had been called to order, the question was tabled for an indefinite length of time. Dr. R. M. Griswold presided over the meeting. John Carbo, the local brick dealer, vainly tried during the few minutes the -meeting was in order, to find out the idea of putting the town officers into their positions fer a two year term, In answer to Mr. Carbo’s ques- tion, C. F. Lewis, tax collector, stated that he had been approached by a member of the Independent Political ation in Kensingion two days before the caucus and asked if there was any possibility of holding elec- tions every two years instead of every vear. If there was anything that uld be done in this line, he was asked to do something about it. Mr. Lewis added. He looked up the Con- necticut statutes and found that the law “compels the town to elect the town clerk for a period of two years but other officers may be chosen each year. With this in mind Mr. Lewis stated that he drew up the petition and then got 20 people to sign it. The result was the meeting of last nisht which proved that the people of Berlin were not in sympathy with the idea. Evening Schools Monday. The public evening schools for the Town of Derlin will begin on next Monday night at 7 o’clock. The ses- sions will be held throughout the winter on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights from 7 until 9 o'clock. English, reading, writing, spelling and American history will be taught in the adult classes while in the con- tinuation classes vocational English, ithemtic, history, civics and hygiene ill be taught. The sessions will be held at the Kensington Grammar school building. Birthday Observed.

C. T. U. Elects Officers— Chess Tournament Starts—Church Notices—Other Items. The Plainville football team will play the first game of the season to- morrow afternoon at Rockwéll's field. The kickoff will be at 2:30 o'clock. The Mohawks of New Britain will be their opponents and it is said that they have a heavy team. The Plainville players will be seen in their new uniforms and other new equipment purchased by dona- tions received from several husiness and manufacturing men of the town. Following the game, ‘the awarding of a half a barrel of flour will take place. The local team has an excsllont line-up this season and several former New Briain High school players will be seen. The following is the team which will be seen on the gridiron tomorrow afternoon: Right end, Dirazio and Cambr ; right tackle, Griffin; right guard, Dibble; center, Johnson and Murphy; left guard, Collella; left tackle, Vilardi and McGibon; left end, Daniels and Sneideman; quarterbaci, Marino and Kell right halfhack, Breen and Berner; left halfback, Naaman and fullback, Birnbaum. The management is looking for- ward to a large attendance so that the season may be started with sue- cess! Town Plans Commission. There has been some misunder- standing among the voters in the town in regards to the Town Plans commission which will be voted upon at the election Monday. At present the commission is composed of three men, namely: Charles H. Newton, \cquilla H. Condell and Fred L. Benzon. However, when the legisla- ture passed a special commission for Plainville to have this board in 1917, it also passed a law that eazh town have a Town Plans commission com- posed of six men instead of but three. The difference in these laws is that the people vote on who is to serve on the new commission instead of their being appointed by the select- man_as is now done. The new com- mission, if passed upon by the voters Monday, will not conflict with the work of the present board but will follow in the same line, starting where they left off. This will not cause any confusion nor will the new commission confiict with the duties of the selectman. Finance Board Again. Yea, verily, the poor proposed Finance Board is being torn to pierces by the political parties of the town, while coming down to brass tacks, it is neither political mnor partisan. Public opinion in regards to the board is evenly divided. Berlin has such a board. Plainville needs one and will eventually have one. There- fore, the sooner the better is the opinion in the minds of the boosters. Interest has reached a high pitch 1 the outcome of the election will be looked forward to. That the vot- ors of the town may better under- stand how to cast their votes Mon- day, the following description is zive Cast your regular vote for the party you desrie, then after that is done, in voting for the Finance Board or against it, simply press the lever where that ticket stands, to- wards “yes” or “no”. Chess Tournament. Two chess teams in the town have ctarted a tournament. One team is composed of Walter Marino and D than Stephenson, and the other is Charles Livingston and “Ted” Aspin- wall. The team which wins the first 11 games out of 21, will be acclaimed the victors. The champions will (hen challenge any other team in the town. On September 19, Marino’s team Jefeated Livingston’s three games to ore, while on September 27, the teams oke even. each capturing two games. There great rivalry be- tween the two teams. Four more games will be played Monday evening of next week at the Business Men's club rooms in the I. O. O. F. hall, and will commence at 7 o’clock. All persons interested are invited to at- tend. Storm Raises Havoc. The town suffered heavily from the storm yesterday afternoon and much demage resulted to the wires of the telephone company in the vicinity of the Plainville Casting company on Broad street.

Trolley traffic on the Bristol and New Britain lines were tird up for some time. W. C. T. U. Elects Officers, The Woman's Christian Temperance uwiion held its annual busiess meet- ‘ng at the Advent Christian church vesterday afternoon.

It holds to the nails; it resists settling of buildings and warping and twisting of studs and joists which always cause plaster to crack, and soft, weak boards to pull away from the nails. Of course Upson Board sells for slightly more (at least }5c more per foot) than ordinary wall-board. But when applied and painted, it is the cheapest board, because it costs less in labor to apply, and $5 to $15 less per 1,000 square feet to paint!—be- cause Upson Board does spongy imitations. .
