Berlin Nezqs 10 FILL GAP IN BOARD OF RELIEF First Selectman Says He Has No Citizen in Mind MEETING DAY IS NEAR : Michael Conlin, Former Resident, Dies in Meriden After Shock->Le- glon Pastore Funeral Held Today. Plans Joint Installation— With the first of February, the date when the board of appeals from the drawing near, residents are wond ing who will be mentioned by I Selectman George cmpty berth on the board of relief. The three elected -consisted of §. Chase Coale, Willard I. Alling and Max Sugen! . Later Mr. Coale withdrew frem the board pleading that his business interests would not permit him to give the time neces- sary-to the working of the board. Sin that date, which was about three months ago and shortly after | Ceale’s appointment, remained vacant. It Is generally the place has believed that the ncw member will come from the Worthington section as Alling hails from Kensington and Sugenhime is an East Berlinite, Selcetman Carter when proached on the subject admitted that there would probabiy be some trouble in locating a suitable jnem- ber. He stated that the question had- taken up a good part of hia meditations and no one had yet been selected. The loss of Mr. Coale to the hoard left a gap in the ranks that will be difficult to fill in time for the work- of the board in February. With rs working at top speed » conclude their labors in due time for the closing of the books, no spare time can be given the eit- vation before someone is appointed. ap- The relief board berth has never ! appealed greatly to office seekers in Berlin. Deing a hody whose duty it 15 to hear complaints and to pass judgments which materially affect the assessing of various propertics, the post on the board is not an en- fable one. The boards' decisions are sometimes appealed to higher courts necessitating loss of time in the hearing of the cases in the superior court to which they are taken. The recont Emerson appeal in the su- perior court of Hartford compelled many members of a former board of relief to make ily trips to the capital during the taking of testi- mony.

Judd was busy today soliciting signatures to a petition in which it is asked that the ; name of Pond street be changed to North Main street. Mr. Judd pointed out the fact that Pond street is an extension of North Main street and ' that business interests on the first named thoroughfare would be better served by the change in name. Mr. Judd also pointed out that a petition | jwould be circulated In the near fu- 'ture for presentafion to the council at a later date requesting that Terry- ville avenue, North street and FFarm- 1gton avenue be given one name instead of three as at present. All of these three streets extend in al- most a straight line east and west Ter il lhc North Main street corner, North reet running easterly from North in street to Doolittle’s Crossing Farmington avenue running easterly from the crossing to armington town line. It fs very probable that the petition when pre- sented will sugest merging all three | streets under the name of ton avenue. It is known that when hearings {change of name of Pond street, there | will be considerable objection on the part of some of the elder settlers of {that section. One resident pointed out this morning that Pond street liad been known under that name for over fifty years and believed that there was no advantage to be gained by the proposed change. The peti- jtion of Mr. Judd, however, alrcady bears the signature of several per- sons and a wordy war will no doubt jresult before and definite action is { taken. | In the present year's budget, an appropriation is to be made for new street sign posts and for this rea- son an effort will be made to reach |some decision as soon as possible.
