The social ‘will follow the regular busin meeting which will be held at a’clock. 'The final party for the holiday will Organizations in This Town—At- tending Yale School—Few People See Assessors—Berlin Bits. It is possible that some sort of a celebration may be held in May of next year when the town df Berlin ‘will be 137 years old. Berlin was incorporated in. May. 1785, and was taken from Farmington, ‘Wethersfield and Middletown. Until May of 1850, New Britain was a part of Berlin, but:in that year it with- drew from the ‘Berlin townskip and started a town by itself. The area of Berlin is 15,403 acres. according to the statistics of the town kept by the town clerk. It has three voting districts and in 1920 had a population of 4298. The number of children between the ages of 4 and 16 in the town at the first of September, 1920, was 1,405. The grand list of the " town is $4,189,154, while the indebted- ness is $70,000. The town of Berlin is generally known throughout the state as the home of the brick industry inasmuch as'many of the brickyards of Connecti cut are located in Berlin. Along wi the brick industries other trades are, agriculture and the manufacturing of jewels in East Berlin, paper, maca- : roni and iron manufacturing in Ken- sington, with agriculture in the Worth ington Ridge section. The town also has four postoffices, one each at Ken- sington, East Berlin and Beckley. Despite the fact that Berlin is sit- uated on the main line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, it has not grown to be a large city, due chiefly to the fact, it is #aid that the old time residents did not care to have any modern changes made. It was recalled this morning that when the trolley line was first proposed from New Britain to Berlin. residents on Berlin street objected and presented a petition .asking that the line not'be established in that section of the town. They later withdrew the petition but asked that cars not be al- lowed to operate on Sunday. Engagement Announced. At a party given by Mrs. Robert Deming at her home in Eerlin, the engagement of Miss Alberta Elton of Worthington Ridge to William Smed- burg of Southington, was announced. Miss Elton issemployed in the office of the American Paper Goods com- pany in Kensington. No date for the wedding has been set. ‘Hallowe’en - Socials. The people of Berlin are promised a grand array of Hallowe'en socials to attend in order to celebrate the well known day. The first will be held this evening at the Berlin Congregational church when the Sunday school de- partment of that church will hold a party in thé chapel.

To date the board of assessors has not beer rush- ed with work and if more people do not put in an appearance on mext Tuesday there are many who will be obliged to pay the 10 per cent. tux. Baszetball Tomorrow. The second basketball game of the season for the newly organized Ber- lin towh team will be played at the town hall {omorrow evening at“ % o’clock. The team will not play the Acorns of Waterbury as previously announced, but Manager F. Board- man is making an effort to secure a team from the New Britain Y. M. C A Saturday evening, November 5, the team will play the Waterbury Acorns and it is quite possible that there wil be a preliminary game between two girls’ teams. Manager Floyd Board- man stated this morning that some girls in Berlin-had shown an interest n basketball and an attempt will be made to organize a Berlin girls' bas- Icetball team. No Moving Pictures. For the second time hin a few weeks the people of Berlin have been fooled in regards to advertised moving picture shows.

He said, however, that he would be in town again next week. Berlin Bits.
