East Berlin Items An unusually small attendance featured the Fire district meeting | 1ast evening at Community hall. It was proposed to lay a two mill tax, the purpose being the extension of the lighting system along the flats to Berlin. Many East Berlinites use the two mile stretch daily preferring to walk rather than use the branch road calling for a 26 cent fare to New Britain. There is no lighting on the flats. A committee was appoint- «d to confer with the Berlin district to ascertain whether that district would extend the lights for the other half of the distance along the flats #0 that the thoroughfare would be lighted its entire length. The report mitted at the annual meeting in D cember for action. Bervices at the Methodist church will be held tomorrow morning at 10:45 o'clock with preaching by the pastor, Rev. A. L. Burgreen.

Important changes are now being made at the local office of the Southern New England Telephone Co., where the beginning of the di- rect dialing system is now being in- stalled. The present operator sys- tem will continue for local subscrib- ers, but in making Hartford calls it will no longer be necessary for the Plainville operator to call the Hart- ford operator. Instead, dials are be- ing installed here which will enable the local operators to dial the Hart- ford numbers directly. "The tele- phone company schedule, it is said, calls for the installation of the com- plete dial system here in 1932. Two new sections or switchboards are also being placed in the local office, which may mean the addition of one or more operators. Plain- ville now has 900 telephones and the number is constantly ETowing.

Mad Dog Scare The actions of u large police dog in the vicinity of Judd and Maple streets at 10:30 o'clock last night caused residents of that neighbor- hood considerable alarm and as a result the police department and Dog Warden Thomas L. Ryan were notificd that the animal had gone mad. The dcg was found a shert | time later by the dog warden and | Ofticer Timothy Lambert. Al- though the animal's actions were perfectly rational, he was taken ‘n | charge by Ryan. | It appears that the dog, apparent- ly hungry. had raided a garbage can in the rear of one of the houses on | Judd street. When his head reap- | peared from the interior of the cin it was covered with pieces of gar- bage and he presented not only a weird but a terrifying sight.
