by the town for medical inspection of school children or for issuing work permits, though the law of the state requires such permits, and the parents and school teachers seem to think it is the duty of the health officer to issue them without charge.
 Eight garbage and pig-sty inspec- tions have been made during the year and satisfactory changes have been made, and the nuisances complained of have been remedied in six of them, while two others are in the process of adjustment.
 Three school houses and seven pri- vate houses have been fumigated during the year; four wells iHesti- gated and one condemned and closed; seven cesspools ordered cleaned; four closets ordered removed, and four cases of glanders and farcy investigat- ed and reported upon.
 "The greater part of this work has also been done free of expense to the town and without charge to the indl- viduals concerned.
 we do not feel, however, that such work should be continued without compensation, and recommend the ap- pointment of a school inspector at a nominal salary and the establishment of some standard fees for the health officers work.

 Agitation for Annexation Started.
 An agitation for the annexation of Kensington to New Britain was felt this morning. Dr. R. M. Griswold, one of Kensington's most progressive cit1- zen, refused to make statement whether he favored annexing Kenslng- ton to New Britain at this time, fur ther than saying that 'it had its ad- vantages and disadvantages. In reply to a question as to whether a meetlng would be called in Kensington to con- sider the problem, pr. GrisWold replied that this would be done the early part of next month and that a committee would be selected to confer with the New Britain representatives.

 Few Made Voters. Although the selectmen, registrars and town clerk were on hand this morning to make voters, few of the prospects put in an appearance. There are about eighty Ito be mades' this year and those who were unable to be present this morning because of their work were at the town clerks office this afternoon. The license and no license workers were busy this m orn- ing bringing the elgibles to be made. At the Churches. ' Berlin Congregational Church, Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor-Morning
