The bill, which will be separate from the charter amendments pro- posed by the city of New Britain, . REP. THURE BENGSTON wil probably be introduced next Tuesday in the house of represent- atives, Mr. Bengston said. According to the Chamber of Commerce and business - houses. there is a crying need for such a court. 8mall bills may be collected through this channel for a very low fee, and lawyers will be saved much unnecessary work. The expenses in- cident to the collection of small bills 1under the present system make it | inadvicable for debtors to sue. Under the system employed in !small claims courts, a clerk, fn many cases & woman, receives the claim and a $1 fee, sends a regis- tered letter to the creditor, hears ,his story and wherever pomsible, compromires the account. If an agreement is not reached, the case g0es before the small claims court Jjudge, who is also judge of the city court. 27 Wildeats Killed In Worcester County Worcester, Mase..

We were then 360 miles north of their reported positions. Covered With Toe We were covered with ice in frecz- ing weather and having violent snow and hail squalls with a heavy gale. Chief Radio Operator Nclson Smith was stationed at the radio compass direction finder and took bearings continuously. We proceeded on these courscs. The bearings of the Florida were er- ratic. That is they appeared so be- cause they were not checking or agreeing with. his reported position. We kept scarching and taking bear- ings but these bearings all placed him north, which we believed to be in error due to his given position.

Mr. Gibney was born in Meriden on January 20, 1858, observing his 71st birthday last Sunday. He re- sided in Berlin for 48 years. Besides being first selectman and prosecutor, he was a deputy sheriff for three terms and held practically every office at some time or other. He was a member of the Sons of Veterans. ) Power for Many Years ! During his oficial life in Berlin | Mr. Gibney was & power in that com- munity. He was looked up to as the head of the' government and his opinfon was sought on all matters pertaining to policies of administra- tion. He held an unbreakable grip on the office of selectman for many years, Although rival candidates sought to oust him from the re. publican nomination for selectman, he defeated them time and again and as easily defeated candidates of the opporition party who sought to gain his scat. No man figured more prominently in Berlin affairs. The republican party put its faith in his leadership year after year and the faith was never misplaced, as a study of past election figures will show. He was known almost as well in New Brit- ain as in the town of his residence. A history of Berlin would not be complete without reference to his activities, Mr. Gibney is survived by five sons, Willlam Garfield, Morto® H. and Howard J., all of New.
