(OUR NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER IS 2-3201) - ~ Berlin News BIG AUTO DOCKET « INBERLIN COURT Medar, Who Forced Policeman Off Road, Discharged by Judge ODENSKY IS FINED 30 Man Who Was in Collision With A. A, Greenberg .of New Britain Found Guilty on Two Counts—Court Re- ceipts Heavy. There was a heavy docket at the court session in the town hall last night, the majority of cases being for motor violations. The case of IL. J. Finkelstein of New Britain, charged with ~eckless driving, was settled with the payment of costs. Finkelstein was represent- ed by Judge George W. Klett, who claimed that the accident in which his client was involved was due to lack of judgment and was not the re- sult of reckless driving. Joseph Mgdar of New Britain, who was arrested by State Policeman Wal- ter Lynehan after he forced the of- ficer off the road, was discharged. Medar was in the toils of the Meriden police as the result of striking a mo- toreycle and throwing its occupants out and continuing on his way after striking them. The officer testified that he was forced off the road by Medar and that he gave chase and arrested him for alleged reckless driving. Medar after posting a bond for $100 went to his home in New Eritain. Shortly after Lynehan met members of the Meriden police who were secking Medar for striking the motorcyclists. They then joined forces with the state policeman and took Medar back to Meriden. Willilam Samolis and Walter Reck- eslo, charged with fishing with more | hooks than the law allows, were fined $25 apiece. It is understood ASPIRIN Say “Bayer” and Insist!

Leon Hanberg of New York failed to appear to answer the charge of reckless driving and his bond of $50 was declared forfeited. His case was the result of his arrest aYter he had struck a Reo truck while rounding| a corner at a fast rate of speed. { John Odensky drove the car struck an auto belonging to A. A. Green-| berg .near the old fair grounds Tues- day night and forced Greénberg's car through the fence on the left of the road. He s fined $10 for dyiving with- out a license and $40 on the charge of reckless driving. Greenberg testified that he was going toward Meriden and that the car driven by Odensky was coming toward New Britain and when it was nearly opposite his car it suddenly| swerved to the left side of the road and through the fence, Although the owner of the car claims that the car was taken without his permission this phase of the case was not taken up at all. Judge Griswold said today that he believed that it would probably come up at a later date although he could nol definitely say. Court Receipts | Dating from September 1, the be-! ginning of the fiscal year for the town of Berlin, up to August 1, the money received by the town from court pro- ceedings amounts to $8,11 , and| the total amount of money cxpended by the town has been $6,668.07. This money expended has been paid out in witness fees and constable fees and to the motor vehicle commissioner of the state, a which goes to the town and one to the tate. In the case of a motor violation in which a state policeman makes the arrest the entire proceeds of the fine g0 to the motor vehicie commissioner. | At present there a balance of $1,000 in the town's favor. This is larger than at this time in other yearg, This is b ved to be due main- ly to the number of convictions made for violators of the liquor law.

First Selectman William J. John- son stated this morning that he had not decided yet whether he would be a candidate for reelection. He said that he had been in office as first se- lectman for the past ten years and had been on the board for more than that and he felf that if there was any- one else who would like to have the oifice, he would not stand in his way. He stated that he would make no definite statement, however, but is willing to serve providing he receives the nomination. Leaders of the democratic party are reported as having made several selections for the candidacy for first selectman, and among them are many prominent men who would in any case make a good run for the office.

Thus far all evidence the affair was unavoidable and that the drivers were in the mixup becausc of thelr attempts to avoid hitting a baby carriage which was being pro- pelled across the street by a woman. Only one local man figured in the af- fair and no one was injured, although two of the cars were badly damaged. rOwners of the automobiles and eye- | witnesses of the crash are being in- terviewed and the matter will be set- tled in the near.future it is expected. To War On Speeders Plans are being made by the au- thorities to start a campaign against auto drivers who persist in making the new highway between Plainville and Southington and between Plain- ville and New Britain a speedway. So far, there have been no serious ac- cidents reported, although many nar- row escapes have been related. There has been a decided increase in number of automobiles and vehicles which pass through the town and a warning is sounded to all motorists that they will be severely dealt with should they become entangled in the meshes of the laws and be found guilty. The practice has become gen- cral of late and steps will be taken 'to check the speed. Signs Still Needed The need for signs showing the di- rection of surrounding cities is shown more and more every day. Only this morning, fully automobile parties were forced to inquire their way to either New Haven or Waterbury. Most of these people come from other states besides Connecticut and the im- pression is fast gaining that Connecti- cut is lacking in courtesy to travelers. of those who are at the helm of the Jeffersonian ship of state stated that a strong fight will be made this year to win the vote at the polls. It is known that a number of prominent citizens are out to make a bid for the office of selectman or a place on the board, but they do not fecl that the time is yet ripe to announce their candidacies. DBoth parties are lining ap for a hot fight, according to re- ports, as Plainville is not considered tolally won over to either side. The members of the town commit- tee of both the republican and dem- ocratic parties will meet within a short time to kettle a date for the caucuses, and it is expected that an- nouncements of candidates for elec- tion will be announced within a few days, Voters have beén given the cpportunity of registering their politi- cal preference by the registrars, and although the numbers of new voters was not large, both parties state that they have had their lists increased. Store Opens Saturday. The Galpin Drug Co, will open its new store at the corner of Whiting and West Main streets Saturday, ac- cording to an announcement by the cwners this morning. With this store commencing business, the entire, Rus- sell property will be finished, and all except minor detaiis of work will be completed. Other changes in the cen- ter of Plainville are being contem- plated, it is reported, but the details of the leasing of certain holdings and the construction of buildings has not been definitely decided. Leave for Mainc, Senator and Mrs. John H. Trumbull and family left today for a vacation at Square Lake in Maine, The lake is situated in the IMish River district, about 16 miles from the Canadian border, and is famous for tifc salmon fishing. Senator Trumbull stated that they expect to be away about ten da.; he last week in September, Sena- tor Trumbull will leave for Nova Sco- tia on a moose hunting trip. Speaking of the country there, Senator Trum- bull said this morning that he and others have a camp in the northern country which was originally built by an Englishman. A party Ameri- can sportsmen, among whom is Sen- of ator Trumbull, purchased the ca and all equipment, and have m tained it now for several years, caretaker and his family is employ to keep the grounds in condition the year round, and the big game hunt- ing there is very good. Last year, the senator succeeded in bringing down four moose, which he has add- ed to his large collection of trophies.
