SHOWING GROWTH Ofiicers Re-Elected at Annual Meeting Last Evening EXTENSIONS ~ CONSIDERED Legion Officials Announce With- drawal of West Cromwell Team From League—Local Man Brings Sult for $1,500—Items. “The annual meeting of the Ken- sington Fire District committee was held last evening in Fraternal hall, Kensington, with a large gathering present to hear reports and plans of the committee. Reports of the treasurer and com- mittees were read and approved. The following officers were re- elected: : Committee: James B. Ellsworth, chairman; Edward McCormick and Louis Bradbury. Treasurer: Clarence B, Clerk: Louls Bradbury. Tax Collector: Charles F. Lewis. The subject of extending water mains consumed the largest portion of the evening’s business. It was voted that the officials look over the situation and make a report as to whether the mains should be ex- tended at a meeting to be called within ten days. The delayed action covers Treasure Fields extension, with other outlying districts. The treasurer's report showed that the receipts for the year ending June 1, 1927, were $13,883.83. Ex- penses were $10,241.01, leaving & working balance of $3,642.82. The district is experiencing an encour- agingly healthy growth and the committee reports that the duties of members of the committes are be- coming heavier each year. Officlals of the fire district reported at last evening’s meeting that a superin- . tendent would probably be needed soon, judging from the growth of the community in the past year. Other reports stated that during the past year a new light was add- ed to the circuit system, bringing the total ot street lights in Kensing- ton to 169. Fifteen water eonnec- tions were mad$ during the year, making a total of 309 In this dis- trict. Recommendations of the commit- tee included all property not con- nected with the water system on the main highway now scheduled for reconstruction, make connections now as considerable trouble will be experienced in obtaining a permit, once the permanent highway is con- structed. The tax for the coming year was left unnounced until the next meet- ing of the district, which is sched- uled to be called within ten days. Treasure Fields, the district which has been appealing for the installa- tlon of water mains since its ac- ceptance by the fown at the town meeting last October, was well rep- resented at last evening's meeting and will doubtlessly be present in full force at the coming meeting ‘when the extensions are announced. Quit claim deeds from the owners recently passed through the town of- ficlals and the sanction of the fire district is needed for tho installa- tion of Nydrants and lights. Brings Suit Pasquale Spensieri of this town has brought suit against Joseph Pudel through the 8. Gerald Casale of New Britain for the recovery of damages amounting to $1,500. The action s the result of a dispute be- Baldwin, tween the principals regarding the construction of a house on Hudson street. The writ is returnable in the city court on the third Monday of July. Mid-Week Service The regular mid-week services of the Kensington Methodist church will be held this evening at 7:45 o'clock. Rev. May B. Lord will of- ficlate. The theme of the main ad- dress of the evening has been an- nounced as “Our Great Nation and Her People.” A large attendance is anticipated. Oust League Team Commander Harold D. Ventres of Bolton-Kasica post, 68, American Legion, and Paul Baker, chairman of the athletic committee of the local post, have announced that the ‘West Cromwell Yellow Jackets base- ball team has been given leave to withdraw from the Legion baseball league. The vacancy leaves three teams still enrolled in the league, the Kensington Boys' club, the Ber- lin Boys’ team and the East Berlin Boys' club. It is not known which team will be invited to join the ranks of the league but indications point to the acceptance of the Kensington Boys' club junior team, recently formed, which is under the direction of Charles Lawton, local coach. The Junior team has enrolled boys under 15 years old and the difference in ages would probably prove consid- erable of a handicap but Legion of- ficials state that the practice would be the main reason for the admit- tance of the youngsters into the league. The Junior team is already entered in the County Y Junior league but will be able to withdraw from that racé it the Legion league proves too inviting. Percentages of the three remain- ing teams are about even. The Kensington Boys' club dropped one to West Cromwell and took one from the .Berlin Juniors, giving them an average of .500. East Bérlin also lost to the Yellow Jackets and wal- loped the Berlin Boy team, rating another .500. The Berlin squad dropped both their opening games and rated a .000. It is not known Whether or not Legion officials will recognize the two defeats . handed the East Berlin and Kensington teams by the ousted West Cromwell squad but it is hinted that the league will be started again with its new, enrollment. ‘Willlam 8. Fogarty ‘Willlam 8. Fogarty ot Wallingford a former resident of Kensington, died at his home at 32 Church street, Wallingford, yesterday efter- noon. He Jeft this town about 40 years. ago and since then has kept in touch with many friends in Ber- lin, being & constant visitor in this community. He leaves three daugh- ters, Katherine, May and ‘Margaret Fogarty of Wallingford; and two sisters, Mrs. M. Kent of Hartford and Mrs. L. Beecher of Kensington. The funeral will take place Sat- urday morning, July 2, from the late home and later at the Holy Trinity church,’ time to be announced later. Further arrangements are incom- plete. ‘What They're Doing The condition of Mrs. James Corr ot Kensington, who has been con- fined to her home for the past few weeks witil an attack of illness is reported slightly improved. Mrs. William S. O'Brien and chil- dren of New Haven, are visiting Mrs. O'Brien’s mother, Mrs. E. J. Trehy of Kensington, for a few days. Newton W. Baldwin of Blue Hills, who has been seriously i1l at his' home for the pist week, was report- ed slightly improved this morning. The condition of Mrs. James Fagan of Kensington, who is a pa- tient at the New Britain General hospital, is reported as favorable. Nurse Meetings Mrs. Henry Hooker, chairman of the town nurse committee, has an- nounced that the monthly meetings of the committee have been discon- tinued 'until September, no meeting being scheduled to hear this man's report. Miss Ivy Dolbey, town nurse, will continue her work through the sum- mer but the absence of school work makes the monthly report of such nature that there is no imperative need for monthly meetings during the summer months, the committee feels. Track Work Continues Although it was first believed that the trolley tracks between Worth- ington ridge an- the New Britain town line would be removed before the end of the week, work has been held up through inclement weather until at present it is thought that the excavation activities will take at least two weeks and maybe long- er, according to reports from the transportation company. The work- men had proceeded to the Berlin Fair grounds stretch today. East Berlin Items An automobile owned by Mahlon Hazen was struck from the rear by a passing machine last night. Mr. Hazen having stopped his machine in front of the residence of George Dalbey while making an ice delivery. The rear fender was stove in by the impact and Mrs. Hazen who was sitting in the rear seat was consid- erably frightened by the crash. The driver did not stop, it is said, to as- certain whether any damage was done but put on speed and drove off. Another motorist who .chanced to be following caught the number of the machine and reported to Con- stable John Lewis who upon investi- gation found the registration of the machine under the name of Bentley. Chester Bunce, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Bunce of this place, was married in Nyack, N. ¥, on Tuesday to Miss Hazel Huber of Danbury. Mr. Bunce is the principal of the Danbury Junior High school. He attended Wesleyan and St. Law- rence universities. Holy communion will be admin. istered at the Methodist church next Sunday morning by the pastor, Rev. A. L. Burgreen. Weather permitting there will be dog roast in West Cromewll this eve- ning héld by the Methodist Epworth league. Those who are going should bring the essentials. - Announcements have been re- celved here of the marriage of Miss Hazel Woodward and George Henry Smith of Norwich, N. Y., on June 25. Mrs. Smith was for several years a resident here. More than 75 signers have en- dorsed the petition for gas service to East Berlin and it will goon be pre- sented to the office of the Meriden Gas Co., for further consideration. The New Britain Gas Co. holds the franchise for installing gas in this community but it is said that the New Britain organization would not extend the mains here due to the heavy expense involved. The new high pressure line from Meriden to Middletown _goes through East Ber- lin so that all that is necessary for this town to get the service is to MINSTERS HEAD LEAVING RESIGNS Rev, . J. Monblean Through as Association President FACTORIES CLOSE MONDAY Two to Shut Down for Following Week—Production Club -Game Draws Huge Crowd—Ask New Bids for Storm Sewer. Rev. Charles J. Mbnbleau has sub- mitted his resignation us president of the ministers’ assoclation and it has been accepted, it was announced today. Mr. Monbleau, who is retir- ing as pastor of the Advent Chris- tian church in order to accept a call to a larger church in- Bristol, took this action because of his coming de- parture from Plainville. No successor will be e.ected until fall, it was stated today, as the number of ministers here at present is small. Mr. Monbleau's transfer leaves the Advent Christian church pulpit vacant temporarily, and the Church of Our Baviour 's at present awaiting the granting of its request to have Rev. Leonard 'elville ap- pointed permanent rector, It is ex- pected that these two pastorates will be filled by fall, and then the min. isters’ association wilb ‘be reorgan- ized. Factory Holiday Closing ‘Two local manufactusing plants will be shut down next week for the entire week and the balance will close in observance of the Fourth of July, a check-up made today re- vealed. The Peck Spring Co. will cease operations Saturday and re- main closed until Monday, July 11, and the Newton Mfg. Co. will shut down tomorrow noon until the 11th. The Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc., will not run Saturday or Mon- day but will open again as psual Tuesday morning. This factory has been closing on Saturdays as a reg- ular practice for some weeks. The Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co., Plain- ville Casting Co., Ideal Machinery Co., and Edwin Hills Mfg. will be ciosed for the Fourth of July only. Huge Crowd Sces Wild Game The biggest crowd ot the season witnessed the wildest game of the century when the Factory and Of- fice teams of the Temco Modern Pro- duction club did battle at the high school field last evening. The final score, as announced by Scorer Hen- ry Powers after consultation with his 14 volunteer assistants, was 20- 20. Every time one team took a lead the other team rallied on the scor- er's pencil and tied the tcore with- out the necessity of running bases. The high spot of the game was & 2-foot dive for home made by Lou Brastow. He landed on his nose and | ploughed a furrow in the base line, but the greatest hardship was that he was called out. Charley Stock- ing, Harry Griffen and Ed Brastow also did some rolling on the ground in making shoestring catches, while have the New Britaln company walve its franchise to the Meriden organization. The committes to act with Mrs. Gustav Pettit for the annual outing of the Community club on July 16 is as follows: Mrs. Gustav Pettit, | Mrs. Archer Walsh, Mrs. George Dal- bey, Mrs. John Frank, Mrs. Charles | Nelson, Mrs. Royal Morse and Mrs. | John P. Lewis. Jerry Leal is confined to the Hart- ford hospital where he is undergo- ing treatment. Jerry would like to see some of his old friends. Jerry has been laid Up for more than a year and it will be some time before | he will come out of the hospital. He is in Ward 3. It was moved at the meeting of the Community club last evening that Selectman George B. Carter be | notified of the necessity of remov-| ing the elm tree by the monument in | front of the Lawrence residence as | the tree is in danger of toppling‘in | a storm. ‘The matter of building new steps at the approach to the railroad sta- tion on Bridge street was discussed at the meeting of the Community club. Just where the responsibility for erecting new steps lay could not be decided but it was of the opinion that the fire district could act in the matter provided there was a ma- Jority vote ot the district. John McInerney, Jr., entertalned a number of friends at a birthday party at his home yesterday after- noon, it being his fourth birthday. Games were played after which re- freshments were served. A most enjoyable time was had. ‘Walter McCrum and family have returned to New Jersey after a short stay here as the guest of Mrs. Sam- uel McCrum, Mr, McCrum will leave Frank Powers and Harry Broadwell collided at first base, seized each other, and rolled all over the field before they could be separated. Stan Gwillim smashed out a three- bagger but was out stretching it. Another time he dashed home from third but Charley Cleveland came tearing across with the ball to tag him. Gwillim stopped dead in his tracks and Cleveland shot past him with ever-increasing momentum. Then the runner resumed his trip to the plate. He and Bill Cassidy were the hitting stars. Ed Brastow and Griffin made some fine catches in the outfield, but the other outer gardener, Tom Rutland, went looking for humming birds. Charley Hanney pitched a fine game for the office and Broad- well for the factory, with Frank Johnson doing some good work be- hind the bat. Harry Castle did some great um- piring on balls and strikes but could not see the ball, frequently walking a man who had swung for a third strike. George Hebden's de- cisions were so bad that at one time the factory players seized their bats and chased him far off into the lots, where he was seized by the| neck and forced to change a decision | from ‘“out” to “safe.” Art Booth’s work as “Judge Landis” was very good. Some of his decisions were questionable, but not to the Temco The game was productive of so much hilarity that it is the inten- tion of the combatants to resume hostilities and play of the “tie” at the annual outing at Savin Rock on August 1. That is, providing their lameness wears off by that time. WILLIAM G. RENFREE Funeral of William Renfree The funeral of William G. Ren- free, Civil war veteran who died Tuesday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs, William Scoville of 34 Church street, will be held to- morrow afternoon. Rev. Charles S. Wyckoff, pastor of the Congrega- tional church, will conduct a service at his late residence at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in Plymouth, where Mr. Renfree spent a large part of his life. Ask New Sewer Bids New bids for the construction of the storm water sewer in the east end have been called for by First Slectman John J. Kimmel as a re- sult of the change made in the pro- posed route. The original plan was to have the pipes go through the passway near the Callen home on Iast street, but this had been found too costly and a substitute route across the school property has been laid out. Specifications may be obtained at the office of the select- men. Baseball Tonight The Standard Steel teap will meet the Businessmen in an Indus- trial baseball league game at 6:30 o'clock this evening at the high school field. The bearing makers have played pretty good ball despite their present pesitien in the cellar of the league and they hope to win tonight's encounter. The Business- men, who popped into first place when the Temcos were defeated Tuesday, need to take the game in order to stay in front. They “rode"” the Trumbull players hard Tuesday, and the latter have promised to come down tonight and get even. <PLAINVILLE» TONIGHT “POOR GIRLS” With Dorothy Revier and Edmund Burns ALWAYS A GOOD SHOW FRIDAY and SATURDAY CLARA BOW in “Rough House Rosie”’ She’ll wreck every house In town for Cuba in the near future.

Chicago School Teachers PR Are Facing Salary Cuts Chicago, June 30.—(/—The sal- arles of Chicago’s public school teachers may be cut 20 per cent starting in September, President J. Lewis Coath of the school board sald today. Lack of sufficlent funds, he said, will compel either the closing of the schools for two months or the cut- ting of salaries, and he added that “the schools will not be closed as long as I am president of the school board.” The schools face a deficit of $4,- 500,000, it was pointed out, and a 20 per cent reduction in all teachers’ salaries would approxi- mate this sum.

Holley of Bellevue avenue, will be ordained to the Baptist ministry at a service to be held at 8 o'clock this evening in the Bristol Baptist church. The Rev. Walter E. Woodbury, former minister of the church, who is now located at Melrose, Mass., will offer the ordination prayer. Rev. William A. Hill, D. D. of New York City, secretary of Misslonary Edu- cation for the Northern® Baptist con- vention, will deliver the charge to the candidate. Rev. P. F.

School District Meetings The annual meetings of two school district of the city are scheduled for this evening while a third dis- trict will hold its annual meeting tomorrow night. The Tenth School District (South Chippins Hill) will recgive the an- nual reports of the various officers and officers will also be elected for the ensuing year. This district is renowned for its amicable gather- ings and no contest is expected. The second meeting to be held this evening will take place in the “Fighting Twelfth” on Fall Mou! tain. This session will furnish a perfect contrast to the South Chip- pins Hill meeting, in that many ar- guments between the two opposing factions are anticipated. Howard L. Andrews, the present chairman, will undoubtedly be opposed and the contest in the election of all of the offices will be a bitter one. The matter of additional school facilities for the Twelfth District will also be a subject of discussion. The present schoolhouse has been overcrowded for the past two years and although at a special meeting it was voted to appropriate $10,000 for a new school, nothing has been done as yet. When bids were re- celved, it was found that the voted appropriation was insufficient to erect the building and Chairman Andrews at a meeting held several months ago, suggested that the building program be deferred until Bristol voted to consolidate the school system. At that time, he pointed out, the city would build a new schoolhouse for the district and the city would assume the expense. Chairman Andrews also submitted a petition to the state hoard of educa- tion, asking that the city be in- structed to provide the proper facill- tier, but the state refused to take such action, deciding that the dis- trict must assume the burden fi The annual meeting of the ford school district will be held at 8 o'clock Friddy evening. Officers will be elected for the ensuing year and 2 tax laid. The matter of addition- al school facilities will also be brought up and a contest between the faction led by Alfred Tallis and the group headed by Wesley Bishop is anticipated. Mr. Bishop is in favor of additional facllities while Mr. Tallls believes that the present facilities are adequate, at least for the present, ; To Install Ofticers The regular meeting of Ethan Lodge, Knights of Pythias, will be held at 8 o'clock this evening in Arcanum Hall.
