Opposition, in points out that it the meantime, ing which brings the debate; it is chiefly because of the type of movics that this place will get rather than the movies themsclves. They state that if cer- tain high class productions such as | are being shown in neighboring towns would be shown here, no ob- Jection would be aroused but that | Berlin is almost sure to get second rate productions. A large portion of the affirmative side see no reason for the meeting belng called, stating that the question should lie in the hands of | first selectman. With a bill ed, granting the showing of pro- ductions here, no further jurisdiction could be shown in regards movies, they state, outside of the ordinary censorship regulations.

An up-to-date system of book- keeping is being installed in the town hall by First Selectman John J. Kimmel to simplify the kceping of the financial records and to pre vent mistakes which have occurred numerous times in the past. Under the antiquated ledger system former- 1y used it was almost impossible to find a desired item, and bills wer frequently paid twice;Former Sclect- man Willlam J. Johnson carried the accounts in his head and found that plan more urate ‘than referring to the muddled ledger. At the town meeting a year ago an appropriation of $1,200 was vot- ed to the seleotmen for the purpose of installing a modern and accurate accounting system. The putting into effect of the scheme by Mr. Kimmel has taken only $50 of that amount, and besides the origi saving of $1,150 on the appropriation it expected to more than pay for itself | each year by the stopping of fur- ther double payment of bills. The new plan is signple and can-| not be tampered with. It will en-| able the town officers to see at a glance the condition of the various appropriations and will also greatly facilitate the auditing of the book: Monbleau Heads Ministers Rev. Charles H.
