New Britain herald., 1925-01-06

Several lots on the New Britain road are being considered. Work has already been started in trans- porting materials and machinery from the New Britain plant to kensington.
 The business will be conducted on a small scale at first, but will be gradually extended to take in all branches of concrete work. includ- ing the making of septic tanks and concrete blocks for foundations. In addition, window boxes, burial vaults, chimney blocks and other concrete products will be made.
 This firm adds another to Ken sington's growing list of industries. A reduction of the tax rate would see still more business enterprises locating in town, as the proximity to the railroad will prove a great drawing power. Several firms have already inquired regarding the pos abilities of entering Berlin or Ken sington, but, upon learning that the tax rate is 36 mills. a withdrawal has always resulted.
 Post Office Sign Gone
 Berlin street has been plunged head first into another mystery which threatens to prove baaling to one and all. Postmaster Barrett has lost the sign which announces that his post office is at Berlin, Conn.
 The theft was made some time during Sunday night. but was not noticed until yesterday was well on its way. Mir. Barrett has searched high and low for the missing sign, but has found no trace of it.
 Probably some automobilist took it home to add to a collection of such signs. is the opinion of MT. Bar rett. More likely. others says, 1t has been used for fircwood by somc- one who needed it.

 St, Paul's T. A. E. society of Ken sington is blaming a smoker which will be held in the near future. It is expected that plans for the com- ing year will be talked over at this time.
