Berll'n News FINANGE BOARD T0 ‘HOLD OPEN SESSION Proposed Budget for Coming Year to Be Read Monday Evening . . INGREASE IN §CHOOL DEPT. Fair Is a Success—Voters Made To- marrow—Club Will Have ‘“Dog” Roast—Daughter Is Born—Other Ttems, The finance board will present the budget for the coming year at a pub- lic mecting of the board and voters of the topn Monday cvening at 7 o'elock, standard time, in the town hall, The list of expenditures for the past year will be rcad together with, .the proposed budget. All re- quests for further appropriations or questions on the proposed budget will be taken care of at this time. The most important increase in the budget of this year will be one of $20,000 for schools. For ordinary ex- penses the increase will be but §4,000. Added_ to this is $12,000 for High school tuitlon. One of the big rea- sons for the increase in the school budget from about $73,000, as was shown last year, to- over $00,000, which is shown on this year's budget, is the desire of the school board to install new heating plants in the Hubbard and Kensington gchools. The heating plants in those buildings at’the present time arc not satisfac- tory, being old and consuming a large amount of coal. It is the opinion that if new plants are installed the coal expenses can’be kept down and the results will be better. it Another reason for the increase is that sanitary toilets will be, installed in all schools where running water is available. The toilets in the schools now are out of.doors and are far from modern. Fair Makets a Hit, The fair given by Berlin grange at the hall on Damon's Hill started oft with a bang last evening and all are satisfled that the affair will prove to be one of the most successful held by the grange in recent years. The feature of the evening's enter- tainment was a farce, “The District School,” presented by members of Meriden grange. The part were well taken and ipcorporatéd in the lines were several “cracks” about promi- nent grangers in Berlin,, which brought the house down. This eve- ning the entértainment will be fur- nished by the New Britain grange, it is reported. The exhibits at the fair are deserv- ing of special mention.

The home- | made candy booth in charge of Mrs, Barrett and Mrs. Leon Hall, the fish pond, liberally patronized by both young and old and the other inter- | esting exhibits of vegetables and canned fruit attracted much atten- tion.

Perry, architect from | New Britain, was present with a i sketch of the exterior of the building rand sketches of the lower and upper | story in the building. He answered a large number of questions concern- ing the structure of the edifice and seemed to satisfy everyone with his explanations. Three Resolutions Offcred Three resolutions were offered to the meeting, cach covering a part of the call for the meeting. The first dealt with the erection and building of the school itself and the appropri- \ation of a sum not to exceed $70,000 for. the work and the equipment of seven of the nine rooms in the build- ing; the second authorized the select- men to borrow a sum not to exceed $70,000 on short term notes, and the third appointed the above named finance committee to recommend the issue of the bonds to cover the short term notes. The first two were cas- rléd by unanimous vote, The third which read that the committee was to report to a special or regular town meeting at or near the completion of the school building, was amended to read that the report would he made at a spectal or regular town meeting to be held during the month of April, 1924. This also was carried, as amended, unanimously. Mr. Perry gave it as his opinion that the building would be started within six to eight weeks when all the architect's work would be finish- ed and the contracts let out for bids. Signs in Center . Another resolution was introduced in order to get the sentiment of tite voters, coming from a committee of the Plainville Chamber of Commerce and the selectmen., It read that the selectmen be authorized to expend a sum not to exceed $100 for the erec- tion of signs in the center to direct autoists on the varfous routes to the| surrounding cities, Because this was not in the call for,the meeting, it could not be voted on, but the senti- ment expressed was that.the select- men should not have to come before the meeting to ask for permission to do that which is evidently badly needed in Plainville, Junior High School .. 8. Mills, secretary of the school committee, explained that it will be necessary to use three rooms in the new building for a junior high school. He told that the Bristol school board would positively not take Plainville pupils after this year and Plainville would have to start a high school next year, and the only place avail- able, would he in the new building.
