For the second time the finance board of Berlin will assemble this evening at the town hall for the pur- pose of considering the request for $125,000 for the erection of & new school and the program which hes Leen put before the board members by the school committee. Thus far there has been no agreement by the finance board to the proposal which calls for & new school to be built in the district of Kensington not far from the present Junior High school. The present school is not officially rated by the state department of ed- ucation. The new project has found considerable favor among some resi- dents as due to lack of space and facilities in the present school cer- tain classes can not be held and therefore the curriculum, according to state standards, is not complete. On the other hand, many are oppos- ed to the erection of the building, inasmuch as a considerable saving might pe effected by merely building an addition to the existing school liouse. Also it was their understand- ing at the time of erection that in event it was found tmperative to in- crease the dimensions of the struc- ture, this was to be effected. point was brought forth at the meet- g as being not advisable, as there would be no change made in the lower grades, which are alreaay overcrowded, and extra rooms which might b2 added to the bullding could just as well be built into another school house that could legally be termed a junior high school. Others think the town could not maintain the support of such a structure. Game Postponed Because of the inability to secure a playing floor for this evening, the XKensington Boys' club Intermedi- ates’ game with Southington has been called oft until early next week.

SALVATION ARMY SEEKS CHURCH AID Gloger Co-operation Is Possible Under Higgins' Leadership | cooperation between the Salvation Army and various churches werc suggested today as a possible resu:t of the election of Commissioner W. J. Higgins to succeed Gen. M. Bra well Booth as commander in chief. The Balvation Army wunder the regime of General Booth and his father, founder of the Army, has operated more or less independently but certain circles here believed Hig- gins would bring it into closer har- mony with denominational churches as one of its chief policies in the ins also is expected to make drastic reforms in the position of general. Army rules previously pro- vided that a general should appoint his successor for life but Higgins probably will recommend clection of & general for a seven year term. Higgins' recommendations are ex- pected to include a provision that if the general becomes incapacitated for one year while in office, he would be automatically removed, Hope to Avold Friction An attempt to avoid intermal squabbles similar to the one the hign council has just gone through will be made in the provision that the council elect all generals, Provision may be made, however, that the retiring general may nom- inate his succes’ r leaving it to the council to accept or reject the sug- gestion. A commission to study those and other reforms will be formed short- ly, Higgins said, The most troublesome problem facing the army at present is the question of trusteeship. General Booth now is trustee for the vast Army holdings scattered through the world and he must relinquish control before the Army can con- tinue to function normally, Higgins said he had communicat- ed with Gen. Booth asking that the trusteeship be transferred to him, but had received no reply.

Center Is Slippery The light snow that fell during the evening was just enough to make the streets in the center of the town yery slippery this morning. Time after time cars driving through the center of the town wskidded and turned completely around in the other direction. At one time about 10 cars in a row skidded and cavort- ed around the strect in real circus style as the drivers made vain at- tempts to bring their machines to a hait. Around 9 o'clock & group of 15 men gathered at the center and yelled in glce cvery time an unfor- tunate driver found his car doing fancy turns. Most of the cars were traveling at a moderate pace and no accidents were reported as a result of skidding. Onc man became angry when his car skidded and turned in the direction of New Rritain. Evi- dently greatly annoyed, he atarted to drive back in the direction of New Britain but thought hetter turned his machine around again. enjoyed the scene to their hearts’ content and attracted many more people by their laughter and cries.

Bristol News WOULD ELININATE TRAFFIC OFFICERS Judge Mink Advocates Auto- matic Lights to Reduce Costs \PHYSICAL DIRECTOR DIES George Blickley Succumbs to Septic Poisoning—Alicnation Case Set- tled—Larceny Cases Continued— Autos Collide—Bricfs. Judge 8. Russell Mink of the pro- bate court, & former deputy judge of the Bristol police court, believes that police departments, particular- rapidly as Bristol, should be re- lieved of the expense involved in the ection of traffic. A statement to Judge Mink while State Commis- sioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel, on the other hand, was clothes” policemen for uniformed men in the watch* now maintained for city traffic law violations. The elimination of the traffic po- licemen, Judge Mink points out, would make more officers available for street duty, which in itself would mean added protection to the prop- erty owner and taxpayer, who is called upon to foot all bills incurred by the department. As in the case of Bristol, the demand for addi- tional police officers is greater than propriation unless the burden of the taxpayer is increased by a higher tax rate, The pl n of Judge Mink is now gradually being developed by this city, A few months ago the serv- ices of a day traffic officer in For- estville center were discontinued with the installation of an electro- matic signal, which is operated by m ans of metal trips in the pave- ment. Similar signals are now be- ing installed at the corier of North Main and Main, Meadow, Center, Race and North streets. When these are placed in operatic i, probably carly next week, the day traffic beat at the corner of Main and North Main streets will be discontinued and a second officer will be availa- ble for street duty. The expense in- volved in connection with the rental of these signals is now charged to the general city under a special ac- count, thereby relieving the police department of that cxpense. This change was made vpon the recom- mendation of Chief Ernest T. Bel- den. Judge Mink's proposal is looked {upon wita favor by several city offi- cials and a large number of citizens who believe that additional protec- tion should be afforded the particularly during the nlght time, Many also believe that, inasmuch as all fines for motor vehicle viola- tions are paid to the motor vehicle department, the state should as- sume the cost of enforcing such regulations.

All of the facts in connection with the cuse had been bared to the jury when Judge Jennings haited the trial and excused the jurors while he discussed the case with the defend- ant's and plaintiff'a lawyers. As a result of the conference it was agreed that Mrs. Welch would pay fees. The jury was then dismissed for the day by Judge Jennings after the settlement had been explained. 129 108 96— 333 Baker .
