The meeting of the finance board follows the announcement of the &chool board to the effect that cp- tions had been obtained on the two pieces of land, the Alling street pro- perty option having been obtained from Judge Willard I. Alling with a view towards the possible erection of a new school to care for the pres- ent congestion situation in Kensing- ton schools and the South school property having been optioned for the possible extension of) the play- ground yard at that ir% tion.

Ammino Construction Co. of Providence, R. 1. and that the first steps towards th: remodelling of the present thor- oughfare into a 20 foot boulevard will be taken immediately. Stevens has kept in close touch with the highway commissioners’ office and has /on much commen- dation from residents on the results of his work. He states that the construction of the road will be one of the biggest things which ever happened to this town, more close- ly linking this community with other cities in the vicinity and do- ing away with conditions which have hampered the town for the past several years. Berlin does not mourn the pass- fug of old “Washboard Alley,” a name which was applied to the Beech Swamp road during its first days as a declining highway.

The principal topic of discussion about the city is the action taken by {the city council at their meeting on last Tuesday evening, authorizing fthe opflnin: of motion picture hous- es at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoons. As yet no protest has been regi tered with city officials, but Rev. ‘William F. Davis, Jr., pastor of the Asbury Methodlst church of Forest- ville, has made a statement in which he condemns the action of the coun- cil for the reason that “Secular Sun- day movies are destructive of moral and religious education.” He also adds that “We grant six days and six nights to the moving pictures to do their best or their worst with our children. We grant one day and one night grudgingly to the church to do its work. The opening of Sun- day movies reduces this small per- centage of time allotted to the church to ridiculous proportions. The city council may justly claim that their decision reflects the attitude of an overwhelming majority in this community. Yet the opinion of a Imajority has never yet changed the question of morals and ethics, Jesus said, ‘The Son of Man {s Lord of the Sabbath." No majority can alter the meaning of that to Christians.” The legality of the action of the city council has also been questioned, many contending that the city fath- ers were\powerless to act unless at a meeting legally warned and held for that purpose. 1t is also understood that Bristol's two representatives, Judge Epaphro- ditus Peck and Arthur S, Barnes were approached I - local motion pic- ture interests prior to the passing of Senate Bill No. 467, and asked to | favor the bill as a protection to local movie magnates in the event neigh- boring cities, such as New Britain and Hartford, permitting the open- ing of motion picture houses on Sun- day afternoons. Following the pass- age of the bill, the local theater owners immediately took steps to se- Baptist church will hold a business ! CUre the Sunday afternoen privilege iand it was granted without question by the city council. 1t is not known just what the next step will be, but many believe that even if a hearing is held, the city council will again immediately vote in favor of the Sunday afternoon opening, - they did en last Tues- day night. Reception for Missionaries A reception will be tendered at the Advent Christlan church this evening tn honor of Miss Helen Seery and Miss Hannah Stocks, who recently returned to their homes in this city from missionary work in China. An honored guest of the evening will be Miss Grace Hsuen, a young Chinese woman, who is studying in this country.

Following the meeting retiring president, Joseph F. Dutton, was presented with a handsome diamond ring. Tacks Placed on Highway Golf enthusiasts, who have occa- sion to use the Chippanee Country club links, are anxious to find the party responsible for the placing of tacks on Battle street, which was re- cently re-surfaced by the depart- ment of public works. Numerous punctures have resulted in this par- ticular vicinity and in each instance it was found that a tack was re- sponsible. The matter was reported to the police several days ago, but the par- ty or parties responsible have not as yet been apprehended.
