RIBBED BERLIN NEWS COMMUNITY CENTER IND ANNUAL DINNER Will Be Held at the Grounds| tober 15th Sat%flc ober FIRE PREVENTION Exercises Are Held in the ' Local Schools—More Talk On Taxes— Visitor ‘Pralscs Worthington Com- munity Center—Berlin Items. Everything is ready for the second annual dinner of the Worthingdton Community center to be given at the grounds on Saturday, October 15, The affair will begin at 1 o’clock and promises to be one of the bigges: events of its kind this year. George E. Prentice is in full\charge. Pardon C. Rickey who will not be in town at the time has turned over the ticket business to Walter Meagley. Robert C. Deming has charge ot the waiters and waitresses, while Rov. 8. A. Fiske and George Dodd will take care of the seating arrange- ments. Mrs. Prentice will be in charge of the pie committee and will be aided by Miss Huston ‘and Miss Rohme. The first annual dinner was held last years and took the form of a sheep roast. This yeéar it is plannea to have chicken on the menu in- stead of sheep. Chickens will he furnished by various members of the organization. The pies will all be home made ones and the rest of the menu will lconsist of fresh vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. The dinner will be served outdoors under the trees. An athletic program has been ar- ranged, the big event to be a base- ball game- between the married and the single men. There will also be games for the children with prizes for the winners. Plans are also under way for events for the women. Since the appearance of the ar- ticle in last evening's edition of the Herald relative to the proposed 25 or 26 mill tax rate next spring there has been a great deal of talk. Some people don’t believe that it is neces- sary to have a tax rate as high as that. Persons well acquainted with town affairs were intetviewed in re- gards to the propesition and are in- clined to think that the flnance board will be doing full justice in making the rate as high as 25 mills. It is claimed that several years ago the tax r.te for the Town of Berlin was kept at 16 mills when a 20 mill rate should have been in vogue. The town went into debt, however, each year but when the annual meeting came around a 16 mill tax rate was always voted upon despite the efforts of a few to make it 0. At this time the people of Berlin were warned that their children would be obliged to pay heavy taxes in later years if they did .ot make an increase at the time. The residents evidently did not take heed to the warning and as a result great debts were incurred. , These debts are still hanging over e e —DANCE — FORESTERS’ HALL BERLIN TOMORROW NIGHT Others long s¥le lenzth Pants white and ecru for 39c cach.

Therefore, it is claimed that a 25 or 26 mill rate will not be excessive for next year. An increase assessment on the valuation of jown property is opposed, however, by a great many people. They feel that the increase made this year was large enough to last for some years to come. Fire Prevention Day.

One thing of particular interest was information by Chief Prior of the fire department, concerning the much discussed fire whistle.
