TOWN HALL ROOMS IN NEED OF REPAIR May Ask Appropriation in Next Year's Budget COMMUNITY MEETING SAT. Gathering of Friday Evening Is Post- poncd—Case Against Sutton Nolled by Fined. Judge Griswold—Bloomquist It is probable that when the budget is being prepared the town officials will ask for an appropriation of about $300 for the purpose of making repairs in the room in the Town hall for the coming fiscal used for court purposes. Upon investigation this morning it was learned that there have been no repairs made in either of these rooms since the town bought the building in 1905 fore this time Tt is not known how there year were used by the town clerk and the room which long be- repairs made, and the building was erected in 1884 by ‘the Brandegees, The design on the wall paper in both of the rooms in the building is is|” very old fashioned and the paper is dark, thus making the rooms dark and disagreeable, In the town clerk’s office there are but two win- dows. The light from one was blocked by-the erection of the stair- way leading info the town court. Town Clerk A. 1. Woodruff stated this morning that the Improvements are badly needed and that he will need a new stove in his office this winter. The present one has been in place since 1905, The furniture in the office of the town clerk is practically new and with new paper on the walls and other changes the office would be attractive. Each time a session of the court is held upstairs criticism is heard in re- gards to the condition of the room. War posters are still stuck on the walls which are covered with the same sort of old fashioned paper as is in place in the town clerk's office. It has been estimated that $300 would cover the expense of the repairs needed. It is thought that beaver board ceilings could replace the present ones and that new plaster could be put on the walls. The walls could then be painted a light color. These repairs would aid the lighting of the rooms and would make them more attractive to outsiders who came here to do business as well as the Berlin people. Postponed Community Meeting., Fred S.

Vari- ous committees will also be appointed to serve at this gathering. The Community Association has been active within the past year and it is understood that the plans of the program committee call for an even more active year beginning early this fall. The meeting on Saturday will be held in the commupity house and all residents of the Worthington fire dis- trict are members of the association. They are urged to attend this gather- ing. Short Court Session. But three cases were heard by Judge Griswold in the town court last evening. A large number of people crowded into the court room expcet- ing to be entertained by the Henry Sutton case. Sutton was charged with assault but his case was nolled by Judge Gris- wold. He was given a warning by Prosecutor C. F. Lewis, however, against posing as an officer of the law in Berlin. The prosecutor considered such men as Sutton a pest, he sald Carl O. Bloomquist of Hartford pleaded guilty to a charge of driving a motor vehicle while under the in- fluence of intoxicating liquor. He was given the minimum fine of $100 by Judge Griswold, with $50 remitted. Bloomguist told of the affair, which occurred last Friday evening when Sutton, with no authority, placed him under arrest and took him to the New Britain police headquarters. He also told of Sutton having struck him. Dr. Robert L.

About Two Year Terms. Within the past few days there has been some discussion in regards to the two year term project for the local offfcers which was brought be- fore a special togn meeting following the cancus of last fall. Because the meeting came after the caucus fl\r: proposition was downed by the local voter: It was stated at that time, however, that the project would be brought he- fore another meeting in the summer of 1022 and before the caucus was held. There does not seem to be much satisfaction expressed at the idea of electing officers for a term of two years beginning with the fall of this vear. If this is done Berlin people will only have elections every other year and not each year.
