Berlin News DISCUSSION OVER' NEW SCHOOL PLANS Announcement of Project Is Gause of Debate in Berlin G.0.P. REPORTED AT 0DDS Factions Said To Be At War—Demo- crats Have Lively Meeting and Warm Dispute—Believe Miss Brown Should Have Been Appointed. The town was set buzzing over the announcement that plans were being drawn for a new $90,000 school house in Berlin, by C. C. Palmer of New Britain. Much of the talk scemed to be along the line that the school loard of the building committee had exceeded its authority in allowing such plans to be drawn. It will be remembered that, at the last vote taken on the building of a genior high school, the project was severely defeated, and it is the opin- jon of many of the residents that the present project is doomed to meet a similar fate. It is known that ibs residents of the Blue Hill section are practically unanimously opposed to the expenditure of any money for the construction of a new school house. The argument that the state can force the town of Berlin to build a new school is contested by some who claim that the state could not force the town of Berlin to build if the con- | gestion could be taken care of by| making alterations in some of the present bulldings. It is understood that if the town de- cides to build a new school house it will be forced to bond itself for a sum | between $100,000 and $150,000 and it is the opinion of some that this would be impossible, and it is the opinion of others that even if it were possible it would be a bad move as the town is already bonded to what they believe is its limit, The opinion seems to prevail that the people of Berlin realize the need of a new school but they believe that it would be too large a burden for the town to carry at this time. !

A prominent member of one of the parties is said to have stated that the members of his respective faction have seen the light and have decided | that there is not going to be one fac- tion ruling the roost as he claims it has done for the past years. He said that there was one upset that was un- | looked for and that if he is any judge of affairs there will be many upsets in the coming months. 1t is understood that the two of the factions are at sword points and that it is highly Improbable that the breach will be fixed up before fall Democrats Hold Meeting At a meeting of the democratic town committee which was held Sun- day at the T. A. D, hall the battle raged hot and heavy for a few mo- ments when a prominent member of the committee was taken to task for the manner in which he is said to| have voted on an issue that came up about two months ago. He is said to have replied to a question of why he voted a certaln way, that he voted as he thought best. Members asked him whom he was supposed to repre sent and said that he was supposed to vote the way the majority of the com- mittee instructed him tu vote It is also understood that the party is up in arms over the manner in which the republicans on the school board are claimed to have ignored Miss Brown, a member of the teacher committee, when they neglected to place her on the committee to select a new superintendent of schools. It was the opinion of those at the meet ing that she should have been' ap- pointed to the committee as it would deal with a question of importance to the teachers, Celebrates 94th Birthday.
