It was brought out by tho chairman that the committee from Kensington ia to meet the water commissioners of New Britain in that city next Monday night.
 Mir. Norton told the meeting that New Britain seems disposed to give | Kensington running water and asked that everything be done at this time
 
 There vas no dissension over the water question for it has long been a thorn in tho side of Berlin. that it has not water. and Kensington is anxious to take the progressive step which means much to the community at large. W. I. filling brought up the matter of | sewage when the water is obtained, but it was a little previous according to the meeting consensus and there fora was dropped.
 Kensington owes s1.000. which it borrowed some time ago to pay for lights. to meet the expense of putting the bill through the Legislature. and other incidentals. Of that $1,000 it was reported that s460 has been paid in debts and a total of s540 remains. The tax question was then brought up. Mir. Norton stated that the committee in charge reported that a tax of one and one-half mills would pay the debts of the town for the period of one year. Richard Brown then put a motion in writing which called for the laying of the tax and incorporated that it should be collected on the first day of November and that the tax collector should receive the same salary as the man who collects the annual town tax. Mir. Fftzsimmons seconded the mo- ton and after some argument it was passed.
 I.P. A. Meets Tonight.
 The members of the Independent Political association. nave been noti- fled that there win be a special and important meeting in Foresters' hall at o'clock this evening. The call has not stated what important business will be discussed. The republicans ard ta and it is the general opinion that the I. P. A.. men will wait and see what action these men take. If the I. P. A. is anxious to get rid of the pres ent republican regime. it is pointed out that they may write in names of their own candidates or go over ana help the democrats boost a strong man for office. As the I. P. A. contains many republicans it would not surprise residents if they helped the demo- crats defeat some republican whom they will not endorse.
