Berlin News MRS, JEAN HOOKER INASSEMBLY RACE Kensington Woman Yields to Pleas, Seeks Nomination TOWN MEETING OCTOBER 6 Rededication Service at Berlin Church—Falcetti's Condition Im- proved—Grange to Hold Whist— Sales' Agency to Open Branch. Mrs. Jean Hooker of Kensington today officially -announced her can- didacy for the republican nomina- tion for representative from Berlin. Mrs. Hooker has made her decision after much forethought and careful consideration, she stated, having been urged both to enter the race and to abandon such an intention until the next election. She is the first woman to declare for the can- didacy from this district. Mrs. Hooker's candidacy originat- ed entirely from external sources as she took her first steps in poli- tics at the urge of her friends, and it has been a moot question whether she would enter her name. John J. McCabe withdrew from the race on Friday and there remain now only Mrs. Hooker and Pardon C. Rickey. Mrs. Hooker stated her platform simply as not embodying great promises. She did not avow to build any roads or mew schools, as such pledges might too readily go unfill- ed, she said, but she did promise to work for the best interests of Ber- lin as she saw them. he newly announced candidate’s career has many points of interest. She is 43 years of age and the mother of one child, Nancy Hooker. Her husband died four years ago. Mrs. Hooker volunteered in the hos- pital service during the World war anad, although she did not go over- scas, she is listed on the roll of honor at the Stamford hospital. She served through the “flu” epidemic at Camp Devens. For the last three vears she has been treasurer of the fifth senatorial district of the Wom- ¢n's Republican assoclation. She was | recently elected vice chairman-of the 1epublican town committee. The old custom in the Berlin dis- trict has been to choose from the three districts in turn and, since it is Kensington's turn, this has been a strong factor in Mrs. Hooker's final decision, she says.

He was born in Bridgeville, New York. For many years Mr. Avery con- ducted a business of his own on Park street, being an expert ma- chinist and toolmaker. He supplied dles for local and out-of-town fac- tories. He was well known here, especiglly among the older resi- dents, and was held in high regard. ‘He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna M. Avery; a brother, and two sisters. Fuperal services will be held at the Jate home tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 a'cleck. Rev. Clarence Well will officiate.

Heming- way, on Apgust 15 amounted to $56,- 859, acording-to.an announcement made foday by the town board of finance. The board, in its examina- tion of the fimancial condition of Plainville, made a study of the prob- | lem of uncollected taxes because each vear a tax is laid on the grand list which is supposed to produce suffi- cient money on which to operate the town'and-enable it to pay its bills” When these taxes remain un- collected, it is ‘necessary for the selectmen to borrow money to pay the billg Interest must be paid on such hgfrowed money which further increas®h the expenses for operating the town. o ' The study of this matter indicates that on August 15, 1926, there were uncollected taxes on the books of the lax collector amounting to $24,- 504.55. The yppaid taxes each fol- lowing’ year % as follows: On Augtst™%,.1927 they amount- ed to $27,657.31. On August 15, cd to $35,012°47. On August 15, cd to $43,580.39. On August'15, cd to $56,859. “During this period the tax col- lector collected 92.8 per cent of all personal property taxes that were due,” the report states. “This is a very good record so far as the local tax collector s concerned and is above the state average, yet the amount that remains uncollected at the end of each year continues to increase because the total amount to be collected increases each year as the town grows and the grand list increases accordingly. “On March 31, 1930, there re- mained uncoilected in property taxes $21,179.55, which was further in- creased to $56,859, the difterence being represented by taxes due and payable in April, 1930, that were not paid on August 15, 1930. “On the personal tax of $2 the tax collector during the past five years has collected §3.4 per cent of the total to be collected, which is above the state average. “The balance uncollected on per- sona! taxes, March 31, 1930 amount- ed to $903. “According to the state law for 1928 they amount- 1929 they amount- 1930 they amount- the first six months after taxes are | due that they remain unpaid, 9 per | cent interest i added to the bill; for the ensuing six months, 10 per cent is added, and for all taxes more than one year in arrears, 12 per cent | is added. “If it were possible for the collector to receive the cooperation of the taxpayers on this matter of personal and property taxes to an extent that would bring into the town a larger portion of taxes due each vyear, it would reduce the op- erating expenses by the amount that it costs the town for interest on the money it has to borrow to meet the current expenses due to failure in recelving taxes when due. “The operating expenses of town are paid for by income from: taxes principally and it is essentixl| that these taxes be paid promptly if the town is to keep out of deht. “If, as it is quite likely, many people are finding it difficult to pay their taxes this year, arrangements might be made with the tax collec- tor for partial payment on these | Five football players were injured tax | the | hold appliances, automobiles and other such things on the installment plan and perhaps it might be of as- sistance to some of the taxpayers in | meeting their tax obligations if they could make some arrangement with the tax collector for partial pay- ment.

All firemen are urged to be on hand as business of im- portance will be discussed.

FAMED LANDMARK T0 BE TORK DOW Tree Where First Town Mestin Was Held Doomed POLISH SCHOOL DEDICATED 2,000 Attend Exercises at Parochial Bullding—\Warden Shoots Dog At- tacking Him — Local Football Teams Lose. A landmark on Burlington avenue which for hundreds of years has de- noted the dividing line between Bur- lington and Bristol / will soon be climinated when the avenue is wid- ened to care for increasing automo- bile traffic over that route, it has been learned. The aged landmark, an oak tree, is situated upon the spot where the first town meeting ever held in Bris- | tol took place. Bristol, at that time, included the town of Burlington and boasted of only several hundred per- ons as its population. The tree, in addition to marking the scene of thiscity's initial town assemblage, also s located in the vicinity of the site of an old tavern, reputedty visited many times by dis- | tinguished gentlemen and stage coaches of old. This tavern, burned to the ground many years ago, was on the Bartholomew property. This family was one of the first to locate with the Bell City's boundaries. Although no arrangements as to the historic tree's disposition have been made, it is thought probable that it will be made into a piece of furniture or other commemorative article and placed on exhibition. Its passing is regretted by many of the residents of Burlington avenue, who ofttimes read its history on the in- scribed plate attached.

Hundreds of children, stu- dents of the school, took part in a!address will be given under the nus~i picturesque pageant. At devotions, which followed the blessing, Rev.
