It is expected that there will be a heavy registration this year because of the interest that surrounds the fight between local men both for town and state offices. The conservative ele- ment has struck a snag in the ap- pearance of a progressive element de- sirous of changes and these two di- visions will work hard to obtain sup- port necessary to put their candidates in office. Of those to be made voters a number are women, showing the in- terest which the opposite sex takes in politics in Derlin.

Finance Committee Meets The town finance committee met last night and discussed the pro- | posed budget for the coming fiscal !vear. This year's budget shows an {increase over that of the past year |and the total increase will not be {known until Monday night. On Mon- {day members of the committee will Journey to the capitol in Hartford to learn the amount of taxes to be levied in the town of Berlin, including the Istate tax, and other forms of taxa- [tlon. This total will be added to the budget in order to assure the sum which the town will have to collect to |pay all expenses including those due the state, There will be a public meting of the board of finance in the |Town hall on Monday night at 8 o'clock when the list of expenditures | for the coming year will be read. At this m ing a comparison of budget of this year and next year will |be made and persons objecting to the | |new budget will have an opportunity {to be heard. School Budget Jumps $6,000 The school budget for the year {has jumped over $6,000 above the |amount needed for schools in the town of Berlin last year. The amount set aside for the purpose last year was $67,169.91 and the amount asked for this year is $73,331. The increase in school expenses is due largely to the added registration of children, {which has necessitated the hiring of | more teachers to properly care for the training of these youths. As stated in the Herald the past week, the school registration has increased 90 per cent in the past three years. This number has had to be cared for and tadded teachers and supplies have raised the cost of school maintenance accordingly. Lights More Costly Than Water. Statisticians who have taken up the task of figuring the expenses of the Kensington fire district have found out that the new water sys- tem now being instalied is not as costly as the present service to the district for electric lights. In fact the water cost is just one third less than that of the electric lights. The district now has a total of 199 lights scattered about the various portions of its confines. Of this number 60 were obtained by a committee ap- pointed, and these men secured them at a cost of $30 per light. A meet-| ing was held at which the question of increasing the number of lights was discussed. The taxpayers were told that they could ‘have 139 lights installed at a cost of $§41. The meet- ing did not put the matter in the| hands of the same committee, which | had obtained the falr price of $30] per light, but went ahead and or dered the full 139 lights at $41. Per-| sons in the district now find that the| cost of the lights totals over $7,500 | while the water cost is figured at| about $5,000. It is known that a| total of four mllls will have to be| levied to pay for the lights and a| two or three miil tax to pay for the | water. Conservative estimates place the district tax at seven mills but| others are of the opinion that an | eight mill tax will he necessary to cover expenses. The budget is now | bheing prepared to be presented at meeting of the district to he held in | the near future. Knowing the ex cessive cost of the lights over the | water, it is probable a committee will | [be appointed to meet with the com- | pany's officlals and seek a cheaper | rate for service here, Still Talking Politics. Politics continues the main tople of | conversation, although it is expected that the town budget and the cost of lights in Kensington will cause con siderable more discussion, in most sections of the town.

' A large Mitchell touring car bear- | bile | street i for Plainville News HEAR CASE AGAINST WOMAN AUTO DRIVER No Criminal Negligence Found in Babcock-Logan Accident CHARGES ARE ALL NOLLED Fire Prevention Week To Be Carried Out Here During October 2 to 9— Voters Are Being Made Today— Baseball Tomorrow—Church Notes Judge Edward P, Prior found no criminal negligence against Mrs, Rose l.ogan of New York city, when her case was heard in the local court yes- terday afternoon following her crash- ing into the wagon being driven by Frank Babcock, of this town, on Aug- ust 25, which resulted in serious in- juries to Mr. Babcock, who is now in the New Britain hospital, Mrs, Lo- gan was represented by Attorney Hanrahan of Unionville, 1 The accidént, which was one of the most serious in Plainville in some time, occurred on West Main street in front of the office of the Bristol Mills. Several witnesses were called to the stand who had seen the acci- dent. George Feit, a barber of this town; Mrs. Summer, formerly em- ployed at the Great Atlantic and Pacific store, and Dr. Whipple and Dr. Jennings of Bristol, were the im- portant witnesses heard. Mrs. Summer was called to the stand first and gave her story. She said that Babcock was driving down West Main street towards Central Square and was on the right hand side of the road. Mrs. Logan was coming from behind him and she saw the driver make a slight turn to pass the wagon. She said she had plenty of room to pass but drove close to Babcock's wa g)n with the result that she struck the side of his vehicle. She saw Mr. Babcock stand up in a bewildered manner, not knowing what had struck him and tried to stop the horse who immediately became frightened and started to run. The wagon swerved towards the curb she said and struck a pole. This impact threw Mr. Bab- cock to the ground. The horse broke away and ran down the street. Mrs. l.ogan sped on her way about 20 miles : The witness said that she then ran over to assist Mr. Babcock s wne ground Georze [ait, a barber across the street from where the accident hap- pened, said that he only saw the horse running down the street and could not say what auto had struck the wagon. Dr. Whipple said that he was driv- ing about from 100 to 200 yards in the rear at the time of the collision. He said that what he saw was when the team and auto struck and he saw the horse drag the wagon onto the sidewalk. The automobile of Mrs. L.o- gan was at that time about 20 feet ahead. The horse broke away from the wagon and galloped away. When he arrived at the scene of the ac- cident, he and Dr. Jennings of Bris- tol, helped carry Mr. Babcock into Byington's drug store. Dr. Whipple said that he saw the wagon and auto- mobile running side by side down the street until the crash came. Judge Prior saw part of the acci- dent and gave his version of the af- fair. Although he did not see the vehiclies when they crashed, he did appear shortly after and rendered what aid he could. He said that the running board of the automobile was flattened out. Mrs. Logan was called to the stand and said that she was driving down \West Main strcet about four feet from the curb on the right hand side. When she approached Babcock, she toted her horn to have him move over, claiming that he was in the center of the trolley tracks. At this time, a Ford sedan came tcwards her on the other side and another automo- was parked on that side pre- venting her from driving past Bab- cock. She said Babcock pulled over a little and she then passed him. When she was opposite the horse, the ani- mal swerved towards the auto, caus- ing the vehicles to strike, Mrs. Logan said. The animal then broke loose | and ran alongside of her car, sticking its head inside and Mrs. Logan, fear- ing for the safety of the two children with her, kept on her way, hoping to pass the animal. The horse turned up the railroad tracks as it neared Cen- tral Square and, being excited, Mrs logan said she could not stop until she turned the corner at Whiting | Mrs. Logan broke down when she told her story and wept and it was necessary to rest the case for a few ninutes. Attorney Hanrahan feit that there was no grounds for finding his client guilty of criminal negligence Prosecutor FForan felt that Mrs. l.o- gan should have taken the precaution to have seen that Mr. Babcock had plenty of room when she passed. The charges were nolled against Mrs. Logan Mr. Babcock has now brought suit $10,000 against Mrs. Logan and |7 Katherine Crowley, also of Ne I ¥ Mrs. ing the license number 8$0-482 and owned by New Britadn parties was completely destroyed by fire near Morses corner early Friday morning. | The cause of the accident is not known The ball game this afternoon be- | | a| Community Grounds is attracting great deal of intecrst, as it is the sec- ond game of a series of three.
