At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Hubbard Parents and Teachers' association, it was a unani- mous vote that a4 resolution which ex- vressed the confidence of the associa tion in Mr. Showalter and expressing satisfaction with his work in the pas and that the hoard would sec fit to retain him as superintendent, he sent ‘o the board for the meeting last night. Pet From A petition which was signed by 21 the school teachers in Berlin was iso read at the meeting. Previous to the reading of the petition from the teachers the following was quoted from the Hartford Courant of May 1: “Teachers in the local schools have at several opportunities in the past expressed their dissatisfaction and protest against the methods of man- agement employed by the present su- perintendent.” Basing their petition the following was read: To the SchooM Board of of Berlin:— We, the undersigned teachers the Town of Rerlin, in view of misleading statements quoted the Hartford Courant, wish to take this means af expressing to you our loyalty to Mr. Showalter. In work- ing with him we feel that we are working with a man who has always the interests of the schools and the children of the town deeply at heart, At all times Mr. Showalter has been nost considerate of us, his teache demanding only that we do tho: things which were for the best good of the children, and for bringing the 00ls to a high degree of efficiency. {We sincerely hope that the services of Mr. Showalter as superintendent of schools may be indefinitely retained.

A meeting of the Fire d the | has| AL water committee | strict. was | e held at the home of Bryant Atwater last evening. Plans were made to ar- range for a joint meeting of the Worthington and Kensington water committees in regards to the laying of a 12 inch water main from Towers’ corner, New Rritain to Jacobs' cor- ner. It is expected that the meeting will be held shortly. listimates which have been ceived show that difficulties will be reached when the Worthington Fire district begins laying mains on Ber- lin street. Because of the fact tifat there are cement gutters on both sides of Berlin street from the top of Galpin's hill to Damor's hill, it will be necessary to lay two mains, one on each side of the road. Present plans call for the laying of the moin on the inside of the sidewalks on the lawns and property of the taxpayers. It is not believed that the state will allow the district to break | through the pavement. On the other ends of the turnpike weher ther are no gutters, one main will be laid and there is a machine which will dig under pavement for a distance of 18 feet only. By this method pipes can be laid across the read, re- Brief Items, Under the auspices of the Epworth league a musicale will be held at the Kensington Methodist church this evening at 8 o'clock, daylight saving time. .

Water meters, which have in some cases almost doubled the cost of rentals for the fiscul year, are being installed in more than 300 homes in Plainville, much to the dissatisfaction | of several of the property owners, This procedure however was made necessary by the Water Co, in order to have every home in the town equipped with these meters, In 1912, meters were placed in various homes and but only half the town was equip- ped with them. That left a portion of Plainville homes without the new meters and these are now being put in. Before the meters were installed, water rents amounted to approx- imately $7 per year. With the installa- tion of the meter, it has increased to $13. In a short time, the entire town will be furnished with meters and all homes will be on equal basis of water rents instead of half the home paying the old non meter rate of $7 a year while the other half pay the new meter costs. About 200 meters have already been installed and in a short time Superintendent Joseph Mc- il\'flrnan plans to have them all read Payments will be made every four months. The first month's rental will be $4. Of that amount, $3 will be for the water'charges and $1 for the rental of the nmeter. KEvery three months thereafter will cost $3 which makes the total yearly rental $13. That is a jump of approximately $6 from the old non meter rates. Some of the property owners have signified their intention of laying a line of pipe from their wells into the homes and not pay the rents of the new meter charges. An actual estimate of the approx- imate daily costs of the new meters, figuring on a family of four to a home, brifgs the cost down to one cent a day for every person in that family. Each home with an average use of water, consumes about 1,200 cubic feet or 9,000 gallons of water every three months. For a better idea of the amount of water consumed by each home during the three months, figures show that 18 (barrels are used in that time; or two barrels a day at the present rate of consumption. The cost of each barrel with the new rate is two cents. The tfigures mentioned were com- piled by the water company to show a rough estimate of the water used and why it is necessary to install the meters in order to save unlimited waste which occurs yearly in this town. Crown Street Hearing Arguments will be heard tonight at 8 o'clock in the court room of the town hall on the proposed layout of Crown street. The Town Plan Com- mission has had Engineer Joseph Mc- Kernan compile a map of tie new building and veranda line which will be displayed. It is not believed there will be any arguments.
