NEWINGTON GENTER OUSTS LD BOARD Big Tumover in Fire Commis- | sion at Annoal Meetmg i Newington, June 19.—At the larg- est meeting ever held in the Center tire district, voters of the district last night elected a complete new slate of | .officers for the coming year, with one exception. Voters who were dissatis- fled with the last officers turned out in large numbers with the result that the old officers were ousted by almost two votes to one. Richard H. Erwin, who has been ichairman of the district since it was formed several years ago and around whom the recent dispute over the chairmanship centered, lost the com- | missionership for three years fo Robert H. Bray, 162 to 87. Mr. Bray was the other man who claimed the chairmanship in February when a meeting was held at which alleged fllegal voting occurred. The meeting last night voted to allow the com- missioners to elect their own chair- | man and it is understood that Mr. Bray will be elected. Robert P. Butler of Hartford, at- torney for Mr Bray during the recent diepute, was present at the meeting and a long discussion ensued over the power of some resident present to vote, Although they were not legal voters, Mr. Butlef said that if they | had equity of $300 or more in pro- perty in the district they were en- titled to vote. This was the question which originally provoked the dis- | pute over the chairmanship and caused the district to have two men | who claimed the position. E. Welles Eddy was the only man to be elected who was not opposed Mr. Eddy was elected a commission- er for two years. Charles B. Russell, | who was elected a commissioner at the meeting in February received 147 votes for the office of commissioner for one year to 103 for Benjamin H Goodale. E. A. Elliott, who has been collector and treasurer for the past several years, lost both positions Daniel J. Kerr was elected collector by 142 votes to 104 for Mr. Elliott. | Harold G. Lucas, clerk of the district last year, was elected treasurer by 161 votes to 90 for Mr. Elliott, The new clerk is Orran §. Parker. Mr. | Parker won the election by 145 votes | to 91 for Harry A. Webster, With the election of officers last | night, the dispute over the chair- | manship, which has been hanging | fire since February, was eettled ; Ladies’ Guild Lawn Sale The Ladies' Guild of Grace church, Newington Junction will hold a fair i .
