Griswold Warns of a Possible Epidemic EST BERUIN POLITICS Beidents of That Town Wduld Name Clark or Bensom As Representative P. A. Inactive—Carter Re- ceives Letter—Bricfs. That there is some danger of a fcarlet fever epidemic in Berlin |is /he opinion of Health Officer Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensington, who re- ports that in a small section of the town there are six cases of scarlet fever. All of the cases are mild. Despite the fact that they have been under close observation the doc- tor reports that most of the patients had come in contact with a number of people before they were discovered and as a result the danger of its spreading is not past. Dr. Griswold asks all parents whose whose children show any sign of sud- den sickness, to notify their family physician immediately. This step is beingt aken as a measure of precau- tion. Berlin has bcen free from all kinds of epldemics during the * past few years and Dr. Griswold .is in hooes that there will be no epidemic of \carlet fever. East Berlin Active. Eat Berlin is becoming active poli- ticallt and a great deal of talk among the naidents of that town is center- ed alut the possible candidate for the lefislative seat in Hartford. Those living \n this section of Berlin are in- elined |o believe that Berlin and Ken- singtori have both had their turn in sendinga representative to the legis- 1gture nd that it is about time East Berlin ad something to =ay. It hs already been stated that Franci§Deming will not be a candid- ate fof re-election as representative from Jerlin. Immediately upon this lnnoutem-n! the politicians began the ditussion of a possible candidate from Kensington believing that the chole should fall in that section of the own this year. Te [Fast Berlin residents, al- thoigh they have said little in re- gars to the matter, have been think- ingand thinking hard as to who they p Will Help You Clear Your Skin T PRt T B T gl FOX'S—3 DAYS ONLY SUN., MON., TUES. “LEE KIDS” DON'T MISS THEM —DRINK— + Ayers’ Soda Water Call for it by nese ant “h' st For Sale at Your Grocer Three Size Botiies—i-10-15¢ brown con- Regular and $4.98 peels, at $6.00, I'ound on main floor could mention as a candidate for the office. They have always supported the candidate from either Berlin or Ken- sington and now would like to have the voters in those sections of the town vote for their candidate whom they propose to bring before the cau- cus which will be held in October. The tongues of gossip have men- tioned R. O. Clark and Arthur Ben- son as the possible candidates from East Berlin. Mr. Clark is the well known brick dealer and has a host of friends whom, it is believed, are anxious to see him in office. Mr. Benson is the commander of the Bol- ton-Kasica post, and also has many friends who are desirous of seeing him in office. With the two possible candidates mentioned from East Berlin, it is ex- pected that the real fight of the poli- ticians will be staged in East Berlin and the other sections of the town will be forgotten The republican caucus for the pur- pose of nominating a candidate as representative from Berlin will be held in the early part of October as the state elections will be held on the first Monday in November of this vear. Local Politics Booming. With the approaching of fall Ber- lin residents are becoming more and more interested in the town elections. No one as yet has announced his or her intention of being a candidate for 1 local office. It is quite possihle, however, that George B. Carter will again run for first selectman and that C. F. IRwis will again seek the tax collector's berth. Both men have been approached upon the subject but prefer to remain silent for the present. There has been some talk about a prominent republican in Kensington being a possible candidate for the first selectman’s berth but nothing has developed of this rumor to date. Hears From New Britain. Selectman Grorge ‘B. Carter has received a communication from the city of New Dritain in regards to tak- ing action for the moving of the tele- graph poles along the Reach Swamp road. The letter contains a resolution passed by the common council of New Britain requesting the selectmen to take action and have the Conn- ecticut Light and Power company re- move the poles. gineer Willlams of the Hardware ci believes the poles should be moved a foot or more to the west of their present lo- cation. Mr. Carter stated this morning that he will taks up the matter with the board of selectmen at their next meeting but he does not know what action will be taken by them. This is the second time that the moving of the poles has been discussed. Entries Reccived. Harry McKeon in charge of the en- tries for the athletic events to be held at the track meet which will be staged by the Bolton-Kasica post American Legion, at the community grounds on August 19, reported at the meeting of the track committee held last evening that he has received entries from athletes in Meriden and Kensington.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2,. Plainville News — — (S —— ————— BRISTOL MEN BUY LAND T0 DEVELOP Allen Tract of 65 Acres Sold for $16,000 BALL DIAMOND WILL G0 Mrs. Mary Ellen Dunbar Palmer Dies at Her Home on West Main Street Following Long Illness—Rev, Geo. Hilton Starts on Month's Vacation. The 65 acre tract of land owned by Richard Allen, situated on East street and known as Allen's field, has been sold to Joseph T. Donovan and Wil- liam J. Phalen, Bristol men. The sale was made through Charles F. Con- lon, local real estate man, and the sale price was said to have reached $16,000, The property, which is centrally lo- cated, borders the immense tract of land on the north, known as Broad- view, which has built up considerably of late. This section of the town promises to outgrow other parts of Plainville and with the plans in the future of building an addition to the Standard Steel and Bearings factory, it is the belfef of many local citizens that this part of the town will he- come the manufacturing district, Frontage On East Street The Allen tract has a frontage on Fast street and that measures ap proximately 1,500 feet. Its depth is practically equal and reaches close to the river on the west, It is the intention of the new own- ers to immediately commence opera- tions for surveying the land and cut- ting the property into farms and large and small building Iots. The survey will he made as soon as i possible and streets laid out accord- ing to the best plans endorsed. Ball Diamond To Go. Allen's baseball field, which garded as the best diamond in the town, wiil eventually be cut up and homes built. It is not believed, how- ever, that this part of the land will be touched this year as the team managsment has a lease for the sea- son. Next year, howeiver, the local laseball team will have to secure some other diamond for their games, and without a dount, Rockwells Field will bz the one in demand then. Tha old race track, which is one- Laif mile in length, will also be in- cluded i the survey. The track is still used and is leased by local men interested in horse breaking. It was used years ago, however, for racing, and at one time was the center of at- traction for horsemen cf this vicinity “he track was also once used for re- lay races. Hennery On Land present time, there is onc house standing «n the property which ': occupied by Wil- liam H. Buys. There is also a large modern hennery which has been usci ter breeling prize stock. The tarm vas fornerly operated by the late Harry “layten £nd his partner, C. Freeman, and was generally known as the Clayton and Freeman farms. The treeding coops are steam heated. A workshop anid other barns are includ- «d in the sale. There 1s also a small pond on the land. Richard Allen, who sold the prop- cily to the Rristol rian, made his lleme there up to a short time ago. He lived there for 15 years and now niakes his rosidence with his sister, Mrs. E. D. Gridley of Whiting street Prominent Bristol Men. Both the new owners of the Plain- ville property are prominent business men of Iiristol.

Since the began to keep records, | the surface of the lake has been low- ered several inches. Half a century ago the lake was said to be slightly less than 620 feet above the surface | of the Atlantic ocean and is now said | to be little more than 618 feet above | the Atlantic. According to Mr. Den- | ison the greater part of this shrinkage | has taken place during the last fifteen | years, Lake Superior Higher, “The water necessary for the Gulf canal could be obtained from Lake Superior,” the engineer said. ‘“Lake Superior is now nearly 21 feet higher ! than Lake Michigan, but the bottom of Lake Superior goes down many hundred feet helow the surface of the Atlantic. In many places in Lake Superior it is not certain that the bottom has been reached even ag four or five thousand feet, while Lake Michigan is comparatively shallow even in its deepest places. The many smaller lakes in territory surround- ing lake Superior are one to eight hundred feet above its surface. They receive much water but have no sur-. face river outlets. Tt is Mr. Denison's belief that these lakes have under- ground outlets into l.ake Superior. The supply of water from Lake Superior and the smaller lakes that are above and surrounding it will be | practically inexhaustible, but only as long as the large tracts of forests are allowed to stand. The future gen- erations, it was stated, will suffer in! every way if “this selfish generation is allowed to rob the earth of one of | its most valuable resources.” More Than It Needs. this Lake said gives excessive Superior Mr. Denison water supply tain seasons the oversupply goes down through Sault Ste. Marie into Lake Huron in large quantities, “All of this water should come down the 21-foot incline into Lake Michigan | and would do so were it not for a solid rimrock or basin edge whici holds it back,” he cdntinued. “This| rimrock starts on' this surface at a point a short distance west of Mar- | quette and continues east to Sault Ste. Marie. A low place in the rim- rock at the Au Train makes this point | the most desirable spot to begin the canal.” Little Shallow Water. The engineer's observations showed that there are few shallow beaches around Lake Superior except in 1 channels and small river mouths Ninety-five percent. of the shore is deep water 150 feet from land, and consequently does not give good foot- ing for breakwaters much further on. At the proposed starting point the soil is light and sandy for slightly| more than two miles south from Lake | Superior, averaging 10 to 50 feet| above the level of the lake, the re- port shows. The next three miles are ! of rimrock, 50 to feet above the | lake level, and covered with a light sandy soil.

HRISTIANRENN IS DUPE OF SWINDLERS Former Local Man Loses $1,000 to “Partners”--Police Investigate The old saying said to have been originated by P. T. Barnum seems to be brought out more strongly every day. The latest case of dupipg brought to the attention of the local police is that of Kristian Krenn, & former resident of this city, now liv- ing at his brother’'s house at 187 Fer- ry street, New Haven. tian is a baker and was in this city Thursday July 2, and was stand- ing at Central Park when he was ap- proached by two strangers who en- gaged him in conversation, he When the conversation turned ‘to business, he became interested. He casually remarked that he had $1,200 1 a bank in New Haven and the men immediately proposed that they go in business together. After a short conference it was de- cided that they should engage .in either the bakery or restaurant busi- ness. They then proceeded to the lo- cal railroad station, where they hired a taxicab and took Kristian to New Haven. On the way down they ex- plained that they would pool their interests and allow Kristian to be the treasurer. They bought a strong box and after Kristian had withdrawn his money from the bank, they seeming- ly put all their savings into the box. iKristian, bubbling over with enthu- siasm, then left his newly made part- ners and came to this city. When he arrived here he opened the strong bhox to gaze on the wealth of dollar bills it contained. The shock he received when he saw what the box contained, was enough to make any man feel blue, for Kris- tian found only $200 in the box and a hig bundle of paper cut to bill size. Kristian then made a wild search in New Haven for the two men, but was unable to find them, as was also the case when he came back to this city. Today he placed the matter in the hands of the local police and an ine vestigation will be made.
