POLKA DOTS .... JACQUARDS .... FIGURES Berlin News DALBY IS ELECTED 70 SCHOOL BOARD Plans for $65,000 Addition in Kensington Disoussed TOWN MEETING TUESDAY Question of Protection Against Fire Will be Discussed—Changes 'l‘:‘lephune system Being Made To- n Holdup Tonight. in day—Hearing At a special meeting of the school eommittee held at the Worthingto® school last night, G. k. Dalby of Yust Berlin was elected a member, to serve the rest of the term of E. W. Mildrum, wio vecently resigned. Perry & Bishop presented plans for the proposed addition to the Nensington grammar school, which were approved and accepted by the #chool committee. The school committee expects to reccive shortly proposals and esti- mates for a sewage disposal plant that will take care of the present school as well as the addition, and which will be made in accordance with the specifications of the state Qepartment of health. When these proposals have been received, and & pian selected, the school committee | will go before the finance board with the two propositions. The plans for the addition to the grammar school involve and estimat- ed cost of $65,000, the amount voted at the last town meeting, Which will cover cost of construction, equip- ment, plumbing, heating and arch tect's fee. The school committee Iy lieves that these proposals are in a cordance with the wishes of a m; Jority of the citizens of Berlin, and Yiopes that nothing will prevent their being exccuted with all possible speed in order that the present con- dition at the Kensington grammar gchool may be promptly relioved Town Meeting Tuesday Night The fire protection guestion will be Accided at a special meeting called for Tuesday night and with its set- tlement one of the most important questions for the year will bhe de- cided upon. eps may be taken. The contract with New Britain may be accepted or a fire department fur- nished and run by a volunteer sys- tem. 1f the New Britain contract is ac- eopted it will be necessary to fur- nish compensation for members who are injured in duty within the limits of the town, additional inswrance on the trucks and other apparatus and payment of $100 an hour for the time that the men and trucks from New Britain are in Berlin in answer to alarms. If a new department in Eerlin is Installed there will be an.initial cost of abonut $12,000 for apparatus and the cost of upkeep. This figure was wiven at a special meeting held some time ago between the New BRBritain officials and the selectmen of Berlin. There is about an even number of people here for and agminst the new contract with New Britain, those in favor stating that it is the cheapest method of having ample fire pro- tection and those opposed claiming that insurance rates in Berlin will be “The Ladies of the White House” By Emma ':'-nAvo _-nl Chapter STRIPES AND FANCIES Men's Shop—Street Floor lowered to a great extent and that the saving would pay for the up- keep of the fire department here. In case a fireman, in line of duty, is injured. the town will have to pay his compensation from the time of his injury to the time he is return- ed to duty. In New Britain, under {the compensation laws, a man is not paid the first 12 days he is off duty. The town of Berlin, however, will have to pay all time he is off duty, under the terms of the contract. In case of an injury and a man is permanently out of the fire depart- ment the town wilt have to pay him only to the time he is pensioned by the New Britain board. From that time his pay comes from the pension fund. This is a new angle on the case and as yet has not been changed in the terms of the con- tract, according to James J. Butler, chairman of the fire board in Ne Britain. Under the plans of the new contract the town will have to pay compensation to the time of the death of any member permanently injured. This will be eliminated be- fore the meeting Tuesday evening. Kensington M. E. Church A deaconess program will be pre- sented by the Women's Home Mis- sionary society of the Kensington M.
