Serlously Il Miss Winifred Traut, the seven Rbsence of Realty Boom FACTORIES TAKE INVENTORY Several Plants Suspend Operations i® Obsarvance of Holiday—Represen- tative-elect Arthur Benson to At- tend G. O. P. Caucus. The stald ol!d town of Berlin was not affected by the real estate booms that were noticeable last year in sur- rounding cities and towns, Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff asserting today that there were no more than the usual number of realty deals last year and the usual number’of warranty an& mortgage deeds filed at his office. The town clerk has not compiled figures on the number or deals put through or deeds recorded, but re- calls no period of marked activity in realty circles that would bring the total beyond that of last year. Representative - elect Arthur R. Benson will be present at a republi. can caucus to be held tomorrow eve- ning at Hartford, at which a nam- ination for speaker for the house will be decided upon to be submitted to the legislature next Friday when the general assembly, convenes. Since the assembly is so everwhelmingly in the hands of the G. O. P.,, the nom. inee is sure of election as are the committees, which will also be or- ganized at the caucus. There is considerable interest lo- cally as to the committee that Repre- septative Benson will be attached to. In past years Berlin district has been honored with important. committee seats and it is expected that Benson will be honored with a place of im- portance. Since, as in all assemblies of this kind, the business {s handled chiefly In committee, there is at all times a scramble for places on com- mittees handling matters of finance or to which the more important meas- ures are submitted for action. Representative Benson is making his first appearance in state politics. He succeeds Francis Deming of the Berlin Savings bank, whom he bested in a political tiit at the polls at the recent election. The new representa- tive is secretary of the Mildrum jewel company of East Borlin, in which dis- trict he makes his home. He is a graduate of the Middletown High school. During the world war he enlisted and won a commission while in the service. He was in some of the fight- ing overseas, being wounded in the course of one engagement, » At the suggestion of friends in East Berlin, Benson threw his hat into the political rirg for the nomination for representative this year and after an active campaign came through with the vote necessary to place his name on the republican ticket. Since, or- dinarily®the republiean nomination for office in Berlin district is tanta- mount to election, his election was year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.

Inventory is being taken of stock hand and marchandise in course manufacture, as well as machinery and buildings, by the several manu- facturing concerns of the city. The past year has been a profitable one for the manufacuring interests of [the entire country and the local fac- tories have shared in the fruits of the reconstruction period. The Kensing- ton and Berlin factories are running about at normalcy, it 1s reported, with large forces of men and orders for stocks coming in regularly. Weather conditions are not propit- ious for bridge building and as a re- sult the local plant devoted to the inanufacture of bridges is reported to be turning out for immediate use but a comparatively small amount of stock. The results of a “full year” have brought down the stock on hand to such an extent that the services of the full force will undoubtedly be re- quired for replenishing the diminish- ed supplies. Mrs. Jennie L. Alling Funeral services were held this aft- drnoon at 2 o'clock for the late Mrs. Jennie L. Alling, wife of Isaac Alling of Kensington.
