T. & Co.—Street Floor Berlin News BOARD OF FININGE DISCUSSES SCHOOL Receives Plans for Addition Bat Takes No Final Action EIGHT ROONS ARE SOUGHT School Noard Presents its Program —Students Fiome from College— No Objections to Carnivals—Le- glon Meeting Tomorrow Night. The town finance board met last night at the town hall to discuss an appropriation of $65.000 for an ad- ditién to be built onto the Kensing- ton Grammar achool and $10,000 to install a sewage disposal plant at the school, but no final action was taken. The plans were presented by Percy and Bishop of New Brit- ain and will be acted on at a meet-; ing to be held in the near future. The plans call for an eight-room addition to be built on the east side of the present structure. In addi- tion to these, eight class rooms there will be a gymnasium, two locker rooms, offices for the principal and the nurse, and a domestic science room. It is planned to remove the present boiler room and enlarge the room so as to be able to install a cafeteria for the benefit of the teachers and puplils. The complete building would make the Junior high school one of | the best in this section of the state for the town of the size of Berlin. The. sewage disposal plant is a separate item and will cost about $10,000. ‘This is neces in order to conform with rules of the state board of health and education. Vhether or not the plans for the ad- dition are accepted, it will be nec- essary for the disposal plant to be {nstalled. b Residents in various parts of the town are heartily in favor of the new plans offered by the school board. They feel that an addition will take care of the crowded con- ditions at other echools in the town. While there are fewer pupils en- relled in the town than at any time during the past few years, there is a larger enrollment at the Ken- singten junior high school and the Kensington grammar school than there was last year. With the use of the pertable building and the basement of the grammar school building. parents and teachers have combined in com- batting conditions and work toward relieving them. The portable build- ing was built some vears ago and | was not erected with the purpose of continual use. It was thought at that time that a new building would be built and that the pertable one ‘would not be used much longer than two years at the most. ‘The question en the lips of many of the residents of the tewn is what te do with the land purchased last year for the purpose of build- ing a school. which propeosition was dcfeated at the last special town meeting. The land was bought with the understanding that a school be erected upon it and the voters at that time passed on the propesal. At | the last town mecting the proposal that a schoeel he built on this lot was soundly defeated. A« the purchase of the land was the wish of the voters at that tithe, town officials refuse to take amy responsibility for the mat- ter. ‘The finance board will meet next ZThursday night at the town hall to l take further action on the matter. At that meeting it is expected that the final decision will be made and announced. Confined to Home Rev. 8. A. Fiske has been con- fined to his home for several days by iliness. It is expected that he will be about in a tew days. Returns Home William Shepard of Berlin has re- turned home from Cornell univer. sity, where he is a student: He will spend the summer here.

Carnivals Not Objectionable The carnival in Kensington has drawn a large crowd each night that it has been here and it is expected that the last part of the week will be more successful than the previous nights. Constable George Kanupka of Kensington, on duty at the grounds stated that this year's carnival is the most orderly of any that has been here for the past four or five years. Despite the opposition that has been raised in New Britain agaigit the showing of the carnivals in thi vicinity, indications are that they will not be interfered with, as they are in the limits of the town of Berlin and New Britain has no jur- isdiction over them. Residents of Kensington have no objection to the shows being held in Berlin, as they are far from the nearest house and in the past have made a practice of cleaning up the grounds after their periods of stay kave terminated.

Mandatory life sentences had caused most of the criticlsm of the Baumes law in New York, and Pennsylvania profited by experi- ence. “On all sides.” the crime com- mission decided at the outset. “there is a general asgreement that the administration of the criminal laws and the preseat statu: of criminal procedurs throughout the United States, and in Pennsylvania in particular, is not adequately meeting the pred. lems with which it is confronted by the new phases of criminality and the new kinds of criminale.” Two Eres in The commission also queted with approval a statement of Dean Ros- coe Pound of the Harvard: Law School. one of the strengest mem- bers of the Hoover commission. Dean Pound's summary of the situation is this: “A highly developed system of substantive law and a specialised machinery of prosecutit admin. istration, judicial organization, legal, procedure and panal treat. ment, devised and shaped for plo- neer, rural, agricultural . America of the first half of the ninetwsnth century, ' are struggling with the wholly different conditions of the urban, industrial society of today. In the huge cities which have grown up all over the countsy im a generation the ill adaptation of the machinery to the task is acute.” The commissisn could ' not con- vince itself that courts should be compelled to sentence fourth of- fenders to life imprisonment. It asserted: “It 1s as true that some men should be imprisoned for life after the first offense as unregen- erate criminal as it is true that other men after the cemmissien of their fourth offense shoul§ met be locked . up for the balance of their natural lives.” In additien to making. the. fourth offense life sentence dis. crétionary with the judge, the law which the legislature passes on its recommendation makes the propriety of auch a sentence re- viewable by a higher court. For second and third majer of- fenses, it provided, the -convicted man may be sentenced to a term not mere than twice as long as the maximum for first offense. The “major offenses” covered by these previsions inclu treason, murder, voluntary mansiaughter, | burglary, entering - with intant o | steal, robbery, = arson, mayhem, | kidnaping, sale of narcotics, per- jury abortion and offenses com- mitted with deadly weapons. Most of all, the crime commis. |slon laid stress on firearms logis- lation. \ “To provide ‘bandit.chasing squads of pelice,’ to establish ‘bandit courts’ and to impese ex- traordinary sentences on the com- paratively few gunmen whe are brought to trial,” the commission reperted. “is, when viewed ia the light of what little has been ac- complished against the se-called gunmen, very much like locking the stable door after the herse has been stelen.” More than 12,000 persons lest their lives through acts of vie- lence in 1925, the commission says. 10 murders to every 100,000 im. habitants as against five per 109, 000 in 1900. Seventy-five per cemt were committed by professiona! criminals in cold bleod and the ve-- volver or sawed-off ghotgun was the principal weapon used. Thé in- crease in the proportien of gun murders has been large and steady. Guns Easy to Buy A dealer in firearms, located ia the busiest street in Philadelphia. was found to have sold ever 100 machine guns, that could fire mere than a hundred bullets a minute. without taking receipts or making any record of buyers. The commission recommended an act, with the hope that similar laws would he adopted in other states, which would prehibit man- ufacture, sale, impertation, pes- session and transfer of machine guns, automatic rifles, shetguns, silencers and other deadly weap- ons; prohibit carrying of firearms in automobiles as well as en the person; prohibit aliens and convict- ed criminals from carrying or pos. sessing any firearms; punish com- mission eof violent crimes while armed with increasingly severe penalties; confiscate and destroy all unlicenssd firsarms and license ail fireams as well as their eales.
