A 500-foot line of hosc across the railroad tracks was necessary in fighting a fire which broke out about | 4:15 o'clock in the Nash house on | Silks | Lewis street, but despite this and | | the added handicaps of heavy smoke and the fire’s great start in the par- | titions, the fire department was able | to confine the flames to that portion | of the house centering about the | | chimney and extinguish them with | a minimum of damage. | Both trucks responded to the |alarm and a brisk blaze was found | | to have started in the ceiling of fhe | second floor apartment, apparently | spreading from the chimney. The| house is beyond the hydrant service | on New Britain avenue, and the fire- | men made a long carry from the| Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc., dragging the hose by hand across the railroad tracks and through the fields. With this long line and with| chemicals they then attacked the | fire and succeeded after a stubborn | battle lasting an hour and a half. | Heavy smoke hindered them at all | times, while the presence of fire in| the partitions presented a hard task | and forced the firemen to take ex- tra precautions against a second out- | break. About 6 o'clock they were | convinced that the last sparks had | been stamped out, and they then re- | turned to headquarters. The Joss has not heen estimated. The flames were kept in the central portion of the house and did break thirough the roof, the depar | ment doing very fine wWork under trying conditions.

This is expressed with all due deference to the honest and pain. staking efforts made by many boards of assessors throughout the state. He states that the local assessing and collecting officials are to be praised for the work which they have done, in spite of inadequate compensation in many cases and lack of proper equipment, and commends the seri- ousness under which most al!l our local assessing and collecting officials have undertaken their task. “A general revaluation is a com- plicated task, which may best be handled by those whose entire time is devoted to this class of work. Once the proper card records have been obtained and the pre-requisite information catalogued, it will be a comparatively simple matter for the local officials to continue the sys- tem =o installed with only oec- casional outside help.

A citizen's committee is es. sential when it comes to the plac ing of unit valuations. A properly conducted committee on revaluation keeps the citizens of the municipali- ties in touch with what is going on. Public meetings are held after tenta- tive valuations are placed on prop- erty in order to give those interested an opportunity to appear and he heard as to why the valuations so proposed are not in accord with the revaluation values. In such a man- ner are any finequalitics smoothed out. “The plan suggested by Mr. Blodgett has been used for a guide for the recommendation to be placed before the voters of Plainville at the | February 9 public hearing.

ACGOMMODATIONS IN SIGHT Services in Churches ‘Tomorrow Morning—Local Woman Granted Disorce in_Superior Court—RKen- sington Bowling League—Notes. For the past year the school board of New Britain has been considering the possibility of barring Berlin and Newington puplls from the high school in New Britain because of the overcrowded cogditions of that institution. Plans are being made for an annex building which is to be constructed between the Vocational and Academic buildings. If the plans materialized, any fear that Berlin people may have relative to their children's high school educa- tion in New Britain will be dispelled. With the influx of mid-year pupils from New Britain’s two junior high schools, Principal Louis P. Slade is faced with the problem of taking care of the enrollment. The high schools reached their highest point in their history this week, 1,244 wupils being registered at two #chools. Indications point to a record en- trance of pupils next September, the two buildings being taxed beyond their capacity. It may be seen fit to keep Berlin and Newington pupils out. of the high schools. The propo- sition was brought up by Commit- teeman James J. Butler of the school rd at a recent meeting. o'clock.
