 Had Counterfeit Markers
 For driving a car equipped with alleged counterfeit markers William Buerge of Meriden. was brought in- to court last night to answer to a charge of driving a motor vehicle 'equipped with improper markers.
 Apparently Bucrge was ignorant of the fact that the markers used on has car were not genuine and he was discharged. The Berlin officers were instructed to investigate conditions at the other end Of the deal and find out the why's and wherefores of such markers. Buerge had on his car markers secured from the dealer. 1t is reported
 Other Court Gases
 Thomas Iunback of Meriden was fined $1O and costs for driving with out license, but upon his explana- ton that he was learning 10 drive, when arrested, he was given the benefit of the doubt and discharged on payment of costs.
 The cases of Guesscppe Prestana of New Britain and Rosana Dcdato, the former charged with having i'm proper markers on his car, and the latter charged with driving with inn proper lights, were continued until March r, pending an investigation.
 Tax Rate 25 Mills
 The tax rate of Berlin was set at 25 mills by the finance board at it's meeting last night in the office of the town clerk. This rate is a de- crease of two mills from that of last year.
 The decrease is partially explained by the fact that the grand list this year is about $25000 more than if was for 1924. Another item that contributes to the decrease in the rate is the fact that the budget if the school board for the coming year is about $7,000 less than it was last year. The school board has done well to build S13,00O school and still have a decrease in the budget, although the fact that plans for inn nrovcmcnts at the Kensington school were not included in this years budget.
