 Town to Be Jarvis?
 A thought which has been for a long time in the minds of a number of people of this town was we'll ex- pressed in an editorial of d Meriden paper yesterday morning. The edi- torial was with regard to the pro posed change in the name of this town as the name Berlin is meeting with much unfavorable comment on the part of people all over the coun- try. The writer suggested that the name be changed to Jarvis, stating that one of the most prominent citi- zens of the town bearing that name had been connected with the indus trial, political and social life of the town for such a, long time as to de- serve the honor of having his home town bear his name. A ruling is being discussed which if passed in congress will make the changing of towns bearing any names similar to Berlin necessary. In the event of the passing of such ruling there is a great chance that this town will bear the name Jarvis in the future.
