William Scott of Worthington Ridge was elected to the committée of the Worthington Hcclesiastical society at the annual meeting held last even- ing in the chapel of the RBerlin Con- gregational church, Mr. Scott suc- ceeds A. A, North of East Berlin, whose term expired this year. The other members of the committee, who wil remain in oftice, are Yardon C. Rickey and W. H. Meagley, both of Berlin street. Francis Deming was again clected treasurer of the society. The main business transacted last evening was the presentation and dis- cussion of the budget for the coming year. Included in the budget is a large item relative to improvements and ‘repairs on the Berlin Congrega- tional church. The present operations on the [church were discussed at the meet- ing and the report of the treasurer was read and approved. AM bills were reported paid and there still remains fa slight margin to the good. An added factor in the society was the presence of the women at the meeting as voters and a large num- ber of them turned out to take part in the -affairs of the mecting last night. It was voted at the meceting last year to allow the women of the gociety to. become voting members, Mr. Deming has been clerk of the society for 33 years continuously. This year is the 151st of the society’s existence and the 150th anniversary 'was duly ceclebrated last December 7. lwith a program held in the church.

Congregational church on Friday| evening will be the reports of all or- ganizations of the church and the election of officers for the coming year. East Berlin Excited East Berlinites are far from satis- fled with the prospect of having a new High school in Kensington. They feel that the property in East Berlin is over-assessed at the present time and taxes would be out of proportlonl to the value of the property should the new building be erected in Ken- sington. A large number from that sectioh of the town are planning to at- tend the meeting in an effort to have taxes reduced instead of increased. It is evident that some of the resi- dents of the third ward feel dissatis- fied in the matter of schools. One of them was heard this morning to characterize the school in that ward as a “little shanty.” It may be that there is a bit of enmity regarding the building of a High school in Ken- sington. At any rate they will make their protests on the tax rate at the meeting tonight, some of them feeling that they are paying the ' taxes and getting nothing for them. Tonight is the time to air their views and it is hoped that they will not sit back il they have a grievance, but stand up and tell the meeting their opinions If they are not satisfied. Plan Successful Fair What promises to be one of the most successful fairs held in Iast Ber- lin will take place every evening from October 30 to November 2 in Ath- Jetic hall.

H, Dresser acted as moderator) and M, O, Ryder was clerk in the| place of Miss Mae Morgan who is in- disposed with a bad cold, The list of officers of the town elected last Mon- day, October 1, was read and the other items contained lu the call for the town meeting were then acted on separately, The reports of the selectmen, town treasurer, school committee and director of public library were all accepted as printed In the town re- port without a dissenting voice, A resolution introduced calling for the meeting to authorize the selectmen to borrow a sum not to exceed $70,000/ to pay the current expenses of lhc‘ town was passed, The estimate of expenses of the school committee for the coming fiscal | year was then taken up. The esti-| mated net cost of the schools for the year 1923-1924 amounts to $57,923.13, IPirst Selectman William J. Johnson then explained that a new law passed by the state legislature provided that ul grants from the state and money rom outside sources would go direct to the school committee and these were not in the budget. When explained a little further, the stimate was accepted and approved. “ollowed then the action on the esti- nate of the selectmen for the ex- senses of the coming fiscal year amounting to $111,151.13. A motion nade to accept the estimate and ap- wrove it was carried. The matter of policing of the pub- ic Selectman Johnson, to a committee —onsisting of the board of.selectmen und Grand Jurers 8. 8. Gwillim and William J. Foran, This completed the business of the meeting as published in the call for the annual town mecting. However, a petition was then introduced asking the selectmen to place three new lights on Shuttle Meadow road. The names of the petitioners were then read and it showed fully half of them resided in the town of Southington. Selectman Igdward Prior explained that the lights at the present time cost the town $19 each for a year and he stated that this cost was contained in a ten year con- tract which expires within another year, The cost of the lights would then be raised to between §27 and $30. He said that if the petitioners sought lights on the road, those who lived in Southington, should petition their town for them and’his motion to lay the matter on the table was (uickly passed. . Tilt on Carnivals I, I, Benzon then asked the chair- man's permission to bring up a mat- ter which he stated was of great In- terest to the residents living in the vicinity of the town lot at the corner of Maple and Whiting streets. He stated that he wanted to speak on the propriety of holding carnivals through the summer at this spot. He said that the carnivals were a source of annoyance to the neighbors, because the shows brought an unde- sirable class to the town. He offered the argument that storekeepers could tell that the people of the town pald their bills less promptly after the car- nivals than before. He sald that he did not want to have the members of the organizations which conducted the carnivals lo misunderstand his mo- tive, He said that the organizations rep- resenting the American Legion, the firemen and the drum corps were civie institutions in a way and that the townspeople wanted to help them, but the others were simply fraternal or- ganizations. He stated that ‘only the last carnival had shut down at a rea- sonable hour and the others had kept | running until 2 or 3 o'clock in the | | morning. He said that after they had | departed, there had been a litter of refuse which had been collected in a pile, Then a wind had come up and | scattered it all over the neighbors' property. He sald that the lot was left in a disgraceful condition and said that the town was forced to spend money to clean the lot up. He stated that the lot was not the proper place to hold the carnivals. Mr. Benzon had no sooner taken his seat than Edward Aspinall was on his feet. He stated that he, as chalrman of one of the committees of the fra- ternal organization responsible for —_—— streets was then left, on motion of |, Have you seen the new Men's Shoes in our window for $6,00? are all new Shoes this fall, an old favorite Jast for our customers who come back year after year The same model, Notice the square, tipped toe, It's the French .

He objected to the ex- ceptions contained in the remarks of the brother. He spoke of the organi- zation mentioned and stated that most of the proceeds went to either the school children or the visiting nurse. Mr. Benzon In reply, stated that he had meant to make no exceptions in his remarks but if one were to be allowed to hold carnivals then all should be allowed, if one were to be stopped, all should be stopped. But, he stated, the lot was no suitable place | for a carnival, The discussion was stopped by a motion to adjourn which was voci- ferously carried. Plan Commission Chosen Tollowing the annual town meeting, | a special town meeting was called for the purpose of passing on the. recent act of the state legislature in repeal- ing the laws governing the town plan commissions and making a *new law to govern them. 8. 8. Gwillim was elected chairman and M. O. Ryder acted as clerk. A motion was made to accept and adopt the provisions of the state legislature relating to the town plan: commission. Mr. Ryder then read the act passed by the state legislature. In brief it stated that the town may pick a town plan commission to be com- bridges, if there was one, ex-officio, the superintendent of highways and bridges, if there was one, ex-officia, and six electors selected at large. Two of these to be elected for a term of one year, two for two years and two for three years and thereafter, two to be clected for three years. John Lamb, chairman of the town plan commission explained that the law was practically the same with the exception that a notice would have to be given ten days in advance of a hearing instead of five, and persons could appeal in 30 days instead of 15. He read a brief report of the town | the two showed plan commission which past work done by them the years. The resolution was then adopted. First Selectman Willlam J. Johnson then moved that the members of the old town plan commission be elected. He nominated James Eaton and John lamb to be elected for three years, and this was carried unanimously. He nominated I'rank T. Wheeler and Roswell Hart to be elected for two years, and this was accepted unani- mously. He then moved that Joseph McCarthy and James Simpson be elected for one year. McCarthy Couldn't Decline. MecCarthy arose to state that he was forced to decline hecause of lack of time to attend ness of the commission. He was fol- lowed by several members of the town plan commission who were pres- ent and some of the finest tributes ever paid any man in the town of Plainville were given to Mr. McCar- thy's work as a member of the com- They all stated that they gorry to see the board 8. . Williams then called attention to the fact that if vacancies should arise in the com- mission, the commission could fill them, and upon this, both Mr. McCar- thy and Mr. Simpson w elected unanimously despite the fact that Mr. McCarthy was on his feet calling “Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman.” The noise of the ayes, however, drowned out his voice and Mr. McCarthy was elected a member of the town plan Mr. mission. would be broken up. as | to the busi-| homas P.
