Berlin News BIG TRUCKS BANG INTO EACH OTHER Cars in Crash at School and Farmington Highways NEITHER DRIVER INJURED Scout Meetings Today and Tomor- row—Well Enown Local Man Dies in Wallingford—Basketball Game Fostpoped—Social 1tems—Notes, A narrow escaps from injury oc- curred this morning around 2:15 o'clock when two trucks crashed into each other at the corner of School street and Farmington ave- nue, The impact of the two cars ap they came together, was heard plainly by people living in nearby, houses. One truck, driven by P. Montreor of Berlin, was turning out of School street going west on Farm- ington avenue while the other truck, owned by P. Genoni of Kensington, was proceeding along Farmington avenue in an easterly direction, prier to turning into 8chool street. Montreor claimed that he drove his car ciose to the fence as he rounded the corner and was struck by the Genonl car, which was pro- ceeding on the left side of the road. Genoni evidently took the corner too sharp, according to Montreor. Neith- er driver was hurt although the trucks were badly damaged. ‘The Genonl car had broken headlights, mudguards and & smashed wheel. The glass in one of the doors was broken to pleces but the driver es- caped from -injury from the fiyinz glass. The truck was loaded with sroceries and numerous cans of gas- oline.

The committee of seven ap- | pointed at the meeting three wecks ago will make a report on its inves- tigations into revaluation pro- posed for Plainville and as carried out in other towns in the state. Thi: committee, of which Henry 8 Wash- burn is chairman, will recommend that a revaluation be brought about by a committee of local citizens with the assistance of an expert appraisal firm and the use of aerial maps and card files, This matter of revaluation has been the main topic for discussion in Plainville for the past three weeks and lack of knowledge of the proposal which was evident at the last meeting is now believed to have been overcome. Many people had not had tjme to formulate definite opinions|of the project, but {1t is now vellevell that, the public understands the situation more full and that the voting tonight, which- ever way it goes, will be more intel- ligent and will he backed with the careful thought of three weeks. perience” Warns Again A charge that people were afraid fo oppose revaluation because wonld receive exceptionally higher assessments if they did so and the plan went through was made today in & communication sent to the Herald by “Experience” and ad- dressed to the faxpayers of Plain- ville. 'The writer urges careful con- sideration of the matter and warns |against trusting “private airs to |outside parties.” His letter is as fol- lows: “As a final warning fo the taxpay- lers of Plainville, permit me to |“Do not wunder any circumstance vote or even asrec to & vague and doubtful plan which you are not | facts.

Certainly. it is no more than right that you should have more time than this in which to look and think the thing over! Why weren't these maps and |cards on exhibit before this, even ;since the last meeting, if it was de- sired that you should get perfectly and rightfully familiar with them? “If the valuation committee has, been impressed with the method | used, it is its duty to explain each | and every detall of the plan to the taxpayer. If its explanation is un- satisfactory and you are in doubt, better play safe now than be sorry | later, especially where your neigh- bor may be involved. “If the committee has investigated |the appraisal company’s work in othier towns, of course it could not get the true information from those men who, in fact, sponsored and were responsible for the acceptance of this plan. The real source of au- thentic information would be the board of relief records. “In one town where the appraisal {company’s plan has been tried our, deplorable and unsatisfactory condi- tions are now the result, and the hoard of reliet records do strongly attest to this fact. Whereas, before 15 to 20 appeals the board, after rev xpiration of the spe | fied one y fully 160 appeals were made, Today, the citizens are very much dissatisfied and a lot of hard feclings have risen where none ex- |isted Lefore. | “In talking over revaluation with {two citizens, they stated that they were never in faver of the plan. They frankly declared that they did not voice their sentiments in public, fearing and fully realizing ff the Iplan were accepted that their valua- |tion and taxes would be ‘jacked up’ lall the more for having dared to ex- | press their opinion. | “Think ot the condition of a town where a man is afrald to give vent jto his personal opinion in a public meeting gathered for this express | | purpose. We talk of free speech and jone American liberty! May God grant | us courage to exerciee our preroga- tive and give us backbone instead of | wishbone, to stand for principle even | if it does cost us a dollar. | “Give heed to Attorney Prior's wise caution that the people alone shonld determine who is to do this work of revaluation and not to hand over full power to a small group of _men concerned solely over their own iinterests. The proposed plan is a ser- | |fous movement for Plainville, and tn my estimation justifies a ‘popular re- ferendum in which a taxpayer can secretly express Lis own private lopinion on the matter, without }vnromnmn: intimidation or fear of reprisals from the political crowd. "Go slowly!" advises Attorney Prior. For well he knows that now we must hang together, or we will hang sep- arately. “In our course of actlon, first let us stop and think, and then do all things to the glory of Him that judges all things right. “Experience" The Committee's Stand In answer to the charges made by “Experience” in his former lef- ter, when he asked that the worke ' ings of revaluation in other towns in the state be thoroughly investi- gated, Chairman Washburn fold the Herald reporter that this is just what his committea has done as a | hody representing the interests of the town. He eaid that the mem- bers had investigated the matter thoroughly and that even those who were strongly opposed to ouf- side appraisers and aerial maps were won over to the proposal when they saw how these worked out. In almost every town, Mr. Wash- {burn eald. the officials pointed to New Britain as having the best as- |sessing system in the state. New Britain has an expert assessor and ystem similar to that proposed for Plamville. The committee at- |tempted to verify the report that | West Haven was dissatisfied with re- [ vatuation, the chairman stated, but | found upon talking with the authori- ties there that the feeling in that |town was just the opposite and .hat {the plan had worked out well. The | failure in West Hartford, he says, is |due to the fact that revaluation is being done a little at a time and |the kicks originate from the use of |old and new values on the same grand list.
