DELAY

to postpone payment until they
have more cash on hand or should
Uncle Sam insists that the business
houses which haven't saved up
eiough money to pay their taxes
suffer the consequences OF their
mistake? -.
This question is being put up to
the treasury department because
of the fears of certain textile con-
Germs that unless the government
helps out by postponing the Decem-
ber payment on income taxes there
will be bankruptcy proceedings in
many large business establish
ments.
But the treasury department, has
no discretion in, the matter and Of
ficials there say congress alone can
authorize the postponement of any
payment on income taxes. Inas-
much as congress meets on Mon
day, Dec. s, new law would have
to be passed Immediately because
the present law requires payment
on Dec. Is and provides penalties
for failure to pay. It is doubtful
whether any satisfactory measure
could be jammed through in q week
for it opens up the whole subject
Of taxation. The most that might
be accomplished is a simple amend
ment to existing revenue laws Civ
ing the treasury department tenn

ment Is absolutely essential to

School Board Will Consider
 Important Matters
INSTALLING DRAIN PIPES
. Construction Gang Is Making Needed Repairs at Kcnsington Railroad Bridge-other News Items of In- tercst to Readers.

The school board will hold an im- portant meeting this evening at the Town Hall at o'clock. The prob iens of teachers salaries. revision of the course of study for the Junior High school and transportation for the High school pupils to New Brit ain will be dealt with. Teachers salaries arc increasing in Berlin in proportion to the other towns and cities about the state and 1t is req iized by the taxpayers that Berlin must continue to raise the salaries in order to hold their teachers. Every effort is being made to keep the stan dard of education in the schools of Berlin and Kensngton on the high plano it has always attained. The in- ausuration of the Junior High school Is a step in that direction.
 The increase in the salary of Miss Anna Scollen will be discussed by the board at it's meeting this evening Miss Seollen has taught at the Worth ington school for the past eight years with remarkable success in preparing her pupils for the New Britain High school. If she can be secured by the board to teach this year she will no doubt be assigned to the Junior High school. It seems to be the consensus of opinion among the taxpayers that her request for an increase of salary should be granted in recognition of her past valuable services and to have her experience in the conduct of the Junior High school during its first year.
 Laying Pipes Near Bridge.
 The work Of laying drainage pipes on the west side of the railroad at KsnsinEton center is progressing steadily under tho direction of Tony Lucy foreman of the Lane Construc- ton company of Moriden. This drain e age system which will include the land on the north as we'll as the south side of Pennington avenue is intended to put n stop to the collec- ton of water under the railroad bridge after storms. After the last heavy storm 70 much water collected In the road that traffic was blocked for eight or nine hours.
 Repair of State Roads.
 A gang ot workmcfi commenced work this morning under the super vision of the state Highway eommis- nlonors near tho railroad bridge and will repair the road far as the Paper Goods factory.
