and recorded by MT. Berg was the erection of the wooden fence from Boston and Glenwood avenues to the G1enwood avenue entrance of Boards ley Park. There are 75O posts in this fence and three boards to every sec ton. This entire fence was erected in five weeks by MT. Berg and two helpers. The work was done at a time when the therInoneter registered in the vicinity of zero but not a. single day did Berg or his assistants remain away from the job.
 Director of Public Works Jacob A. Courtade will miss him and will ind it difficult to replace him. That of fciaI had great confidence in Berg and never once did he find cause to censure the work of the Samsonian carpenter. By his death the city Of Bridgeport Iooses a, valuable citizen las well as a trusted and invaluable ebpIoye. He entered the empIeye of the city in the winter of 1911.

JOHN BERG, 73,
 NOTED FOR HIS
 GREAT STRENGTH.
Public Works Department Loses Samsonian Emp1oye
 In Death of Worker.

In the opinion of Medical Examiner s. M. Garlick apoplexy was the cause of: the death of John Berg, age 73,7 of 4963 Noble. avenue, who was found dead in his workship in the city yard in. Housatonic avenue early Saturday evening.
 The deceased is the father of Lieut. John M. Berg, of the United States navy; Oscar Berg, a local musician; Arthur and Charles Berg, proprietors of the Berg Bros. grocery and meat
 market at Noble and Berkshire ave nues.H His wife and one daughter also survive.
 MT. Berg came to this city from Norway about 35 years ago and for a long time was employed as a carpen- ter on the New Haven road. He was in charge of the construction and re- pair of the country bridges. He also had charge of repairing the city bridges during the winter months. He was an accomplished mechanic and a valuable enploye of the city. He was prominently connected with the local Carpenters and ,Joiners' union
 MT. Berg supervised the erection of the new wooden bridge in East avenue in what is now called Remin ngtonville Unaided by any achitect or set of plans MT. Berg laid the foundation with the help of four city employees and after only six days of fatiguing labor he concluded the erection of the structure.
 He was also active in remodeling several tumble-downlAs lAshanties in the city yard in Housatonic avenue. MT. Berg was a powerful man for his age and aided by only two helpers he lacked up the since abolished truss bridge at Glenwood and Boston ave- nues. This bridge was at one time part of Washington bridge across the Housatonic river. Part of, the beams were made of oak and while heavy ice wagons going to and fro to the ice house at Beardsley park rumbled across the bridge MT. Berg knee-deep in water. lacked up the wafped struct- ure.
 He was known to every farmer in the suburbs of Bridgeport. Any time John Berg was seen driving the citys repair wagon about the countryside it soon became known that repairs were to be made on the village bridge. He had a way. of getting the work out of his men that was lacking in many other city foremen. He would never ask employe to do anything he could not do himself. The on.y fault of MT. Berg's was that he always be- Heved that his helpers were as pow erfu1 as himself. He would sometimes ask them to lift beams and boulders from the ground and which was an utter impossibi1ity. When they would start arguing their cause, without word of reprimand or censure, MT. Berg would shoulder the beam and carry it away, as though it were mere stick of wood. Many citizens who witnessed these feats of super human strength displayed by man the age of MT. Berg, would comment upon them and wonder at the strength he must have had when but voting man.
 One of the feats worthy of note

any former year. The sworn state
ment published before the meeting of
the Board of County Commissioners in
October is approximately right,
though after an audit of the books we
find that some items should be chang
ed.
In the matter of advertising where
the amount in the statement is 1913, it
should be 1882. The difference being
contained in bills receivable. The
amusement percentage should be 1928
instead of 1898. And by the way let
me say that the percentage received
from the four independent shows on
the grounds this year was $500 more
than the percentage received last year
from the Carnival company.
In the matter of premiums paid, the
published statement gave them as
$1,525. when that should be $1,725.
This discrepancy is accounted for by
the fact that the full list Of premium
winners was not completed at the time
the statement was made, September
26th.
The fair today has an outstanding in
~debtedness of $500, a floating debt
covered by a note to the First Ma
tional Bank of 81, 900 and an over
draft of $3.50. To offset the note Of
$1,000, We have coming to us from the
county seventy-hve percent of prem
iumS paid or as the law says, not to
exceed 81 900. And to cover the over
draft and also of unpaid bills which
amounts to about $500, we have stock
subscriptions totaling over 81, 900. OF
this 81 200 stock subscriptions $475
should be credited to the general fund
as these stock subscriptions were
taken for the purpose of building inn

HARB0R BOARD TAKES
UP KALAUPAPA WHARF
QUESTION WITH PRATT

Whether or not improvements are
needed at the Kalaupapa wharf, Mo-
lokai, is a question that has been
put up TO DR.. j. s. D. Pratt, president
of the board OF health, by the harbor
board.
Dr. Pratt said today that while he
has certain ideas in regard to such
work at the Molokai port, he will
leave the writing of a recommendation
until he has had talk with Superin-
tendent John d. Mcyeigh Of the leper
settlement McVeigh will be down
to Honolulu at the end of this week.
An appropriation of $4,000 was set
aside for a wharf at Kalaupapa at the
last session of the legislature and
just who put the measure through has
always been a question. The recon-
mendation was not made by the board
of health or by the harbor commits
sion. There is already concrete
wharf at the place, and it is not
thought that $4,000 would go very
far toward building new one. On
the other hand there may be minor
changes and repairs to be made.
