Berlin News GARTER COMES OUT FOR RENOMINATION Fist Selstman Replies fo Churgs by Jon Carbo b Appolntment of Mounted Cop. “L'wish to have it clearly under- stool that the town money was not wased during my administrations beciuse I watch every penny more that I would have watched my own. Tha and the criticism of Mr. Carbo reptive to the condition of the rosds is unjust and incorrect be- cause there never was a time in . Ferlin’s history when the roads were iy better condition.” Thus did First Sclectman George 3. Carter answer the criticism of John Carbo and others who were said to be dissatisfied with the gov- ernment. Carter, formcr school board member, justice of the peace, masessor, second selectman, and for the past eight years first selectman announced his candidacy for the re- publican nomination for first select- man. It is understood that the “ald guard,” the republican organization forces, are to back the present se- lectman to succeed himself, It will have the opposition of supporters of Leon Hall and Carbo. The caucus which is to be held in the Town hall Monday evening will be featured by this battle. Mr. Carter claims that since he ‘was elected as first sclectman in 1920 every bridge in the town has been made of concrete and the budget for this has been dropped from $2,000 ta $500 because there is no need for annual repairs which were necessary while the wooden bridges were in existence. There are 140 miles of roads, Mr. Carter pointed out. and $15.000 fer their upkeep. Of this $3.000 is used for road material. He has made a study of situation and alled in many of the town's leading men to deter- mine the best method >f appropriat- ing the money and ke believes he has done the best possible thing he could have done in reference to roads. Equipment has improved. There are now two trucks instead of four horses. He has neglected his own business on his farm in Berlia to care for the town's business on many occasions, he sald. Ofter he has left the place in charge of his sen while he went to other towns in the interest of Berlin. He was born In New York state. He lived in Beckley Quarters for several years, bdut since 1905 he has been living 1t his present place in Berlin. He was a men:ber of Berlin's first school board, served two terms as Jjustice of the peace, was assessor for six years, and was second selectman for three yeam. Move Fer Motoreycle Cop Petty thievery and on some oc- casions robhery of business places in Rerlin and Kensington and other places in the vicinity has resnited in agitatior on *he part of residents for a motorcyele noliceman who wonld he on duty throughout the night Durisg the week-end the Triangle EAUGDS EXPECTED Reputficsh ‘Mceting Monday Night Ma; De Featured By Battle For . Fint Sclectmanship — Consider lunch cart owned by Dennis Hagerty was entered. Several pies, cigarettes, and cigars were taken and the thieves made escape without being caught. The following night, thieves broke two gas pumps'at the Farmington avenue garage and stole a quantity of gas. After they had broken the first pump and found no gas they broke open the second. The owners did not complaint to the police and the thieves are still at large. A trucking company suffered to three trucks while working in west Rocky Hill. The thieves tapped pipes under the trucks and stole 35 gallons of gasoline, It is the opinion of the merchants in and about Berlin that the con- stables give the town ample protec- tion during the time they are on duty, but they are not able to pro- tect the town during the early morning hours, a matter that wouid be taken care of by a motorcycle policeman. Republican Women's Club Forming Preliminary plans for the forma- tion of a Berlin Women's Republi- can club are under wayg and it is ex- pected that plans will be completcd at & mecting of republican women at the home ot Mrs. William Scott on Worthington ridge next Tuesday. Many women have been anxious to form the club and after consid- erable work on their part assurance of success is almost certain. It is probable that Tuesday's meeting will be an organization meeting at which officers will be elected, and commit- tees appointed to take charge of so- clal activities, Entering Normal School Two girls from this vicinity are among the 163 girls who are enter- ing the New Britain State Normal school this vear. They are Miss Ida Hazen of East Berlin and Miss Mar- Jorie Mueller of Berlin. dohnson Retiring Announcement was made today by Sccond Selectman C. Fred Jobg - {2on that he will not be a candidate for that office in tke town caucus Monday. In making the statement he said his work required most of his time and that he could not af- tord to give the time and effort to the place, Mr. Johnson made his first ap- pearance in public office slightly more than a year ago. He was ap- pointed second selectman In place of William Schroder who died in office. In the election a year ago he was clected to the place as a running mate for First Selectman George Carter.

Plainville is still using water from the New Britain reservoir, and there been work being done on the pumps there during recent wecks. State engineers blame this for the condition of the water, saying that the varying pressure from the pumps caused a reverse flow in the manis and resulted in turbid water. The trouble is now being corrected, and Plainville will have pure water once more within a few, days. 1,326 Childred In Schools A first-day attendance of 1326 yesterday broke all records for school attendance on opening day, eeding last year's mark by 138, The figure also falls short of last year's gross attendance by only 50 pupils, and Superintendent Leon C. Staples today estimated that this number would be added during the present week and that the gross at- tendance for the present year would exceed 1500. Iigures for the open- ing days of the past five years are us follows: 1024, 967; 1925, 1,024; 1926, 1,163; 1927, 1,184; 1928, 1,326, Attendance at the High school | Huilding was 420, about evenly divided between the Junior and Senior High divisions. This figure is 160 in excees of last year's attend- ance at the High school and cighth grade. The removal of the seventn grade to the High school building has again caused a drop in attend- ance at the Broad Street school, where the figure yesterday was 589 against 624 last year. The Linden 8treet school, howver, continue to show an increase, mounting from 800 to 317, The last-named school is slightly overcrowded in the fiftl and sixth grades, and about 15 pupils will be transferred to the Broad Street school to adjust this. There is onc vacant room at the latter building.

GUNPONTER MADE INTO LAGQUER NOW Chemists Hear How It Was Dane Alter War New York, Sept. 6 P—An up-to- date version ot the husband-man in peace time turning his sword into a ploughshare was presented to the Society of Chemical Industry today at its annual meeting. The modern way is to turn gun- powder into automobile lacquer. How this took place was described by M. J. Callahan, in a paper on the development of lacquers After the World War, he said, there were millions of pounds of smokeless powder stocks on hand, and the prospect of using them was almost ‘hopeless. Iurthermore the powder threatened to be & burden of expense to the government for storage and a hazard also. This was a challenge to industrial chemists, who for several years experimented until they learned how to extract from the powder cellulose nitrate, one of the principal bases upon which the manufacture of lacquer depends. At the same time, said Mr. Calla- han, the automobile manufacturing industry took a jump, giving the chemist another goal to shoot at in developing new methods of automo- | bile body coloring. The lacquer pro- cess was the scientist's answer, und at the start of this industry the wu- tomobile was the principal customer with smokeless powder a big source of supply. Within the last three years, Mr. Callahan said, the lacquer industry has branched out to cover numer- ous other painting fields.
