CARTER ONCE AGAIN
 ID RUN FOR OFFICE
First SeleCtman Announces Can-
 didacy for Present Position
DEFENSE DAY PLANS HERE
Committee Named to Co-operrke With Selectnan American Brick Nine Wins Fifth Straight Game Hart ford Woman Killed on Turnpike.

George B. Carter, first selectman
 for the past four years, this morning
 announced his candidacy for that po-
 sltion on the republican ticket. MT.
 Carter is one of the few selectmen In Berlin who has served more than a single or double term in that office. That his work nas been appreciated and that he is well liked is shown by the desire of the residents to again place him at the head of the towns affairs.
 First Selectman Carter in announc- ing his candidacy today said that he believes many things have been ac- complished by him for the town dur Ing the fulfillment of his office. He has laid particular stress on the con- dition of roads and bridges through out the town. During his four years a new road was constructed in Ken sngton between Upson's corner and the Berlin Savings bank. With as- sistance from the state a new con- crete road was constructed between Berlin street, from in front of the Worthington school, and Pennington road. The we'll known "Cat-Hole" rad and the Blue Hill road in Ken sington has been repaired and others have been stoned and filled in where ever it was necessary, making it more economical to maintain them in the future.
 Eighteen new concrete bridges have been built since Mir. Carter first took +y II r,oodep hri have been replaced by corrugated cul- verts and new iron bridge has been built across the Mattabesett river, connecting Cromwell with Berlin. The large bridge. at the town farm has been repaired and a new con- crete floor laid. The bridge near the 1 railroad culvert in Kensington has been repaired and concrete floor | laid as has the old bridge near the | former western entrance to the fair | grounds The bridge near the old | Blair shop has also been repaired | and a new concrete floor put in place. | The selectman expects that within a year most all of the bridges in town will be repaired or replaced.
 Tn addition, the town hall has been painted during Mir. Carter's adminis- tration. A new fire escape was in- stalled on the building. the town clerks office was redecorated and renovated the courtroom was ref1n- ished. the assessors room was re- decorated and through the entire building, with the exception of the main hall, new electrical fixtures have been installed.
 Selectman Carter is well known figure in Berlin politics having served as an assessor, second selectman. a member of the first Berlin school board and justice Of the peace.
