The town boards are preparing to close the fiscal year and are making ready for the coming elections. An indication of the restlessness that surrounds the departments of the town is visible with the resignation of Robert H. Deming from the board of assessors. Mr. Deming gives as his reason the fact that he has not sufficient time to give the po- sition the attention it demands. His resignation was recefved yesterday by First Selectman Geogre C. Car- ter and it is thought that the with- drawal will be accepted and a suc- cessor will be nominated at the cau- cus Monday evening. This position will also be of interest to the demo- cratic party as it recently declared that it is entitled to representation on the board and will make a strong bid for the vacant chair. The finance hoard will hold a meeting next Wednesday evening at which time the board of selectmen will also meet. The two boards will go over the hudget for the coming year. Sebtember 20 is the date for the public meeting of the board when voters who wish a change or addition to the budget will have the | opportunity to plead their case. This meeting promises to be well attend- ed. The selectmen will meet this eve- ning at the town hall in an effort to clean up all town business and get the books in shape for the audi- tors. After the auditors have gonc over the books, the annual report will be printed for the town elec- tions. Tonight's meeting should clean up all unfinished work as the gelectmen have been working on the problem of finishing up their duties for several past micetings and it is reported that the board is nearing | completion of its work With the notice of the republican cancus Monday night, Berlinites are making speculations as to the prob- able nominees. The caucus will be one for the nomination of town offi- clals only, the caucus for the selec- tion of representatives to the legis- lature coming in October. The most important position open for nomina- tion at Monday night's meefing is the post of first selectman. B. Carter, the present holder of the position, has stated that he will rufl akain and his friends and support- ers are confident that his record for him in the past services will e ] chair for the coming ferm. Willard 1. Alling of Kensington, is also a candidate for the job and he has many supporters in Kensington and W .rthington Ridge. East Berlin w1, in all probabllity be on deck N ynday night, as at the beginning of the election murmurings, the die- trict stated that it would he heagd from this year. The democratic caucus has also Jean called for Monday evening, in the court room of the town hall. gpeculations as to the outcome of this meeting are as yet not definite s the demoerats have not formed ny slate.
