cd up time and time again only to

ing call, This time, ii is the opinion
of the leading citizens, the" district
will make history by deciding favor
ably on the matter. 1t really looks
now from the talk going about this
section of town as IL Berlin and kens-
ington are at last to step up on the
level with the majority of the goth
century towns.
The committee in charge of looking
up the matter will meet with the wa
ter commissioners of New Britain
In that city tonight. From present
reports IL is expected that the report
of the New Britain men will be ia
vorable to granting water rights to
both Remington and Berlin districts.

reported now as considering the City
4 New Britain TO have a plentiful
supply of water and enough of it to
supply 1t to the nearby towns of Ber-
lin, Plainville and Newington. The
Plainviile people. however, have their
own supply and Berlin's chance for
getting the much needed commodity
would appear even brighter.

lad to crowd themselves in the front
seat as the much talked of results
overcrowded other portions of the
