harmony with the call of the special meeting last night was shown when within a very few minutes after the meeting had been called to order, the question was tabled for an indefinite length of time. Dr. R. M. GrisWol presided over the meeting.
 John Carbo, the local brick dealer, vainly tried during the few minutes the meeting was in order, to find out the idea or putting the town officers into their positions for a two year term, In answer to MT. Carbo's ques- ton, C. E. Lewis, tax collector, stated that he had been approached by member of the Independent Political association in kensington two days before the caucus and asked if there was any possibility of holding cleo tons every two years instead of every year. If there was anything that could be done in this line, he was asked to do something about it. MT. Lewis added. He looked up the Con- necticut statutes and found that the law |compels the town to elect the town clerk for a period of two years but other officers may be chosen each year. With this in mind MT. Lewis stated that he drew up the petition and then got 20 people to sign it. The result was the meeting of last night which proved that the people of Berlin were not in sympathy with the idea.
