Brief. There is a strong possibility of East Berlin being represented in the.leg- islature this coming fall as Arthur Benson, who was mentioned several davs agd as’‘a possible representativc from Berlin, stated this morning that if nominated at the caucus he wili aceept the nomination. To ‘date Mr. Benson is the un'y person who has stated that he would be a. candidate for the position as representative with .the exception ot Francis Deming, present representa tive, who has stated that he will no make an actlve éampaign for the po sition -but if he is nominated by hi: friends, he will accept the nomination. The many friends of Mr. Beason will be pleased to know that he would. accept the nomination as the) have ‘been at work for the past sev eral weeks In an attempt to Hoost the candidacy of Mr. Benson, R. O. Clark was the other possible candid ate mentioned from East Berlin but Mr. Clark told a Herald reporter sev- cral days ago that he would not run That Mr. Benson will stand a good show ‘of - winning the nomination fs seen by the fact that there has been no represéentative from East Berlin for a number of years and even somc of the residents of Berlin and Ken- s have, etated that it is about time” someone was nominated from that section of 'the town, Mr. Eenson is ccnnected with the Mildrum Jewel company of that town and has always been interested in " the welfare of the East Beriin people. He s commander of the Bolton-Kasica post, American Legion and that he is popular with the boys was proved several weeks ago when members of the post declined to ac- cept his resignation as commander. He will serve the remainder of his term and as 'come of the boys have expregsed it they aré sorry that he will.not be a candidate for re-election , at the next annual meeting. Unless announcements are forth- coming from other people in Berlin degirous of a seat in the legislature, Mr. Benson will be the only candi- date whose name will be brought be- fore .the caucus, which will be held early in' October. There’ has been a rumor about town that a resident of Kensington will. announce his candidacy within a short time, It is not thought that there {3 another possible candidate from Berlin street or that section of the town. 3 Francis Déeming, who will.complete his two year term this coming fall, has served the town well as a repre- sentative in the legislature.

Alling, former selectman of the town and who has been mentioned by several as a pos- sible candidate for first selectman this coming year, stated to a repre- sentative of The Herald this morning that he did not believe that he would seek the selectman's berth this fall. Judge Alling £aid that he is busily occupied taking care of his own work without taking care of the work for the town. Judge Alling, however, has been prominent and active in town affairs for a good many years and was well liked when he served as first selectman from 1915 to 1918, Judge Alling was the first ‘man to serve as judge in the town court when it was estabiished in Berlin. Judge George Griswold was his succeseor. Previous to his serving as a judge Mr. Alling was on the board of as- sessors. Trench Worker Hurt.

If it should turn out that the suspicion is justified, the truck will not be accepted, it is said The commission and town officials, after making 2 careful examination of the truck, arrived at the conclusion that they were not getting entirely new apparatus. Chairman Robert Skelley said this morning that he believed the com- pany would make good Chief Noble Inspects, Mr. Skeiley said that the truck it- sfit was apparently in excellent con- dition but the trouble lies in the equipment. The machine had been driven to New Britain under orders of Fire Chief Edward P. Pricr where the New Britain fire chief, William J Noble, inspected it. Chief Noble {s quoted as remarking that the truck was an excellent appearing one but he could not state with authority whether or not any of the equipment had been used previous to being sent to Plainville, It is understood that the the complaint is that several ladders are in bad shape, being more or less scratehed and presenting an appear- ance of having been put into severe use elsewhere. The lanterns and other apparatus presents the same ap- pearance, say the commissioners. Machine Is Tested. Mr. McDonough, a representative of the Mack company of New York, has been in this town for the past week, demonstrating. the machine to the firemen and" commission The truck has been given the severest tests possible, the latest one being that of climbing a steep hill on the outskirts of the town, with 23 men clinging to the sides of the machine The truck has a 24-horse power engine. Mr. McDonough said that the ladders, which were thought to be too heavy to lift with the help of a few men, were the. lightest make placed on a truck of this size. Drivers Broken In. Mr. McDonough has ' spent day breaking in some of the local fAremen to driving the machine. Jo- seph Keefe, Otis Williams, Addision Ives and William [..
