An unusually small number of Ber- 1in people exercised their right to vote for town officers at the annual election held yesterday. However, the largest -percentage was from the first and second districts. The third district, East Berlin, had very few voters all day, in the neighborhood of 100 casting ballots. The women of the town turned out in good numbers and much interest is being taken by them in the business and politics of the town. They were well represented at the polls vester- day and their influence was shown. The headquarters for the first dis- trict was located at the Town Hall, that of the second district at the A. E. F. barber shop, Kensington, and that of the third in East Berlin, where it was reported that the vote was lighter than it has been in years.

However, it is thought that there will be much interest taken in the caucus for representative. The town meeting has been post- poned until October 18, The only thing done at the scheduled time for the meeting was the reading of the results of the voting. The meeting was postponed because Francis Dem- ing, irman of the flnance board is i1l d it is thought that he will be able to be present at the meeting if it is held on the later date.

Health Officer’'s Report The health officer's annual follows: The year has been a remarkable one, not only for Berlin, but for the slate at large, the whole of New Eng- 'and and all the Atlantic seacoast, as showing the lowest death rate on re- cord. 5 Whatever effects the atmospherfte and telluric conditions may have had report | large, T Pattern Dessert Spoons or Forks for Trblespoons, Bouillon Spoons, Soup Spoons, Medium Forks and Fruit Forks As we said, six of each for these quoted prices.

For- merly these suspicious cases were not reported till a positive diagnosis had f\cpn made, which often involved wait- ing for a report from the state labo- fatory, Meantime, many people had fre uuently been exposed to contagion Under present conditions of the lav and of public opinion, these suspicions cases are at once reported to the lo. cal officials and a provisional isola tion or quarantine is established, thus preventing what otherwise might have been a seri epidemie. A number of cases have oecurred in Rerlin during the past year, wherc a prompt report hy the attending phy- sician and the subsequent isolation has prevented a spread of the trouble, During the year there have been under quarantine and observation 1( cases of scarlet fever, six cases of diphtheria, four cases of chicken-pox two cases of measles, four cases of whooping cough, four cases of lobar pneumonia and one case of septic sore throat. Eight wells have been inspected and two condemned, 15 tenement houses have been inspected and conditions largly remedied in most of them, re ports have been made on sources of ice supply, school bulldings have been inspected once -or more, and many vard inspections have been made. All the work in connection with in- spection of wells, schools, buildings, has been done without expense to the town or state, as a voluntary and willing contribution of the health of- ficer to the public welfare. The general sanitary condition of the town is above the average. We Lave no points in town which are of particular danger to the public health. The infant mortality is decidedly helow the average .of the state at and the physical condition of the children in the public schools is decidedly above the average for a like number of children in rural com- munities. This is largely due to two causes: Ilirst, that the milk supply of the town is-produced wgder sanitary con- ditions, and but littl€ of it pasteurized, and, second, that there are few or no crowded tenements, and consequently plenty of fresh air. . These things, however, do not mean that there is no need of changes in our methods of work and improve- ment in our sanitary conditions. We should have a regularly organ- ized board of health.

P. Makes Clean Sweep as Predicted— Street Hearing Tomorrow Night, Fortune did not smile down upon Sylvester Zima of Iorestville avenue when Patrolmen E. W. Furrey, Charles Klatt and Andrew Hogan swooped down upon his house yester- day afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, imme- diately after they were renominated at the polls for their respective of- fices, and discovered an eight gallon still, piping hot and half full of al- leged liquor being taken off the gas | stove, It was a thrilling moment for all parties in the raid as Mrs. Zima, | wife of the accused, grabbed the still from the stove and made her way hastily down stairs only to fall into the arms of Policeman Klatt who | took the still away from her but had to drop, it faster than he grabbed it becaullp of its heat. Zima sald “good morning, judge" to Edward P. Prior this morning aft- er spending a night in the local cell, and this was his second “good morn- ing, judge” within the past three weeks, his last charge also for mak- | ing hootch when he drew down a fine of $100. Judge Prior did not extend him any leniency this time, however, and found the accused guilty and fined him $175 and costs, which amounted to $216.17. Zima was thunderstruck when he heard the final words of Judge Prior and admitted his chances for paying the fineswere slim. He wanted to know if he could get out and collect the money. “Nothing doing,” said Judge Prior. “You can go down, hut not out, lown into the ‘cooler.” Zima, after some extensive dicker- ings, finally persuaded Anderson Dow- hill, colored, of East Main street, Bristol, to pay $75 down on his fine and take out a second mortgage on his house for the rest in order to af- ‘ow him his Iiberty. Had Sold Stufr, Zima admitted to the court that he had sold the stuff and was taking ‘orders” for it. “How much do you zet for your stuff?” asked Judge Prior. “T get S‘HO‘ for 15 gallons,” =eplied Zima. “Did you finish the or- 4er when the police called.” he was ed. o, only five gallons” re- nlied Zima. The still showed statements to he true as there about that amount in the tank Policeman Furrey told of the raid an the place and said that immediate- 3'v after the town election, armed with v warrant issued by Grand Juror Willilam J. Foran, he called at the ouse with Patrolmen Klatt and Ho- gan. Furrey went to the rear door and Klatt went down the cellar steps. When Policeman was just in time to see Mrs, Zima lisappear down the cellar steps from the kitchen with the tank. The house smelled very strong of alcohol, he said Mrs. was Zima came down the stairs ‘hat such a board should consist of the first selectman or the full board of selectmen, the chairman of the school board, the local health officer and one other physician.
