TRIBUTE IS PAID
 TO AZ. ROCKWELL
Board Of Education Recognizes
 His Service to City
SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETINGS
Third, Fifth and Twelfth Districts to Discuss situation - About 50 At tend Hearing on Vaccination Bin In Hartford.

Tribute to the late Albert F. Rock well was paid at the board of edu- cation meeting last night in the reading by Chairman Noble F. Pierce of resolutions on the death of this .clty's noted citizen and the incorpo- ration of the resolutions in the min utes of the board. Mr. Rockwell's S work in the erection of the new high school was stressed by Mir. Pierce as the late park commissioner gave the site Tor the structure and later took charge of it's construction.
 The resolutions follow:
 Resolved; That in the death of the Hon. Albert F. Rockwell which occurred on Monday February 1G, 1925. the public schools of Bristol have lost valued friend and bene- factor. It is fitting that we place upon the records of this board minute of some of the more promin- ent services by him rendered to the public schools of Bristol:
 Tn the year 1919, at a time when there was urgent need for increased building accommodations for the high school, Nr. Rockwell rendered to the city some seven acres of land to be used as a site for a new high school building and for an athletic field. This offer, having been sub mitted to the voters of the city, was fr conditions upon his gift and re- trained from any attempt to dictate or to direct the public officials in the plans for the new building, but the Knowledge of Mir. Rockwel's large mindedness and preeminent ability in planning for large enterprises led the committee having the work in charge to seek MT Rockwell's ad- vice and to avail themselves of his assistance to the utternost.
 Tt is only justice to him to say that the beautiful building that now adorns the site which he presented to the city is very largely, particu- larly the north wing with it's com- theater and recreation privi loges for the city at large as well as the ample provisions for school ath- letics, due to Mir, Rockwell's pre- vision and his courage in going for ward and doing well and in full completeness the duty devolving upon the city in this behalf.
 Later. at the earnest request of the building committee, MT. Rock well consented for the consldera- ton of one dollar to take charge of the erection of the building, tre- mendous task involving vast re- responsibilities and endless details, a task that few would care to under take and that few could undertake

BLUE HILLS WANTS COMMUNITY CENTER Residents May Seek Use of Old Blue Hills School
 s-ee NO DEFINITE PLANS YET
Plaintiff Wins In Damage Suit Re- sultfng From Accident In Berlin Considerable interest Expressed In town Meeting-Other Items.

Residents of Blue Hills. noting that community centers have met with great success in other sections ot the town, are getting their heads together In an attempt 10 devise some means of establishing a similar organization in the part of Berlin which lies in the extreme south western part of the town.
 Several persons interested in the matter have brought up the question of securing a building to be used as 8 community house and it has been suggested that an investigation be conducted, In order to ascertain whether or not the old Blue Hills school house might be used. The town does not use the building at present and many people believe that the authorities would be glad to allow the Blue Hills community members to meet in that building for sociais, meetings and dances. The building Is In fairly good con- dition and would be ideal for such purpose. Whether or not the authorities will allow the building to be used is not known, but residents of the Blue Hills district will wait upon the selectmen if plans to form & club materialize. and will learn definitely about it.
 There are abolt 30 families in district, who would derive a great deal of pleasure from a community organization, tfese families being within a short distance of the school. There is no form of amuse- ncnt or recreation in that section of the town, which is isolated from the more populous communities of Der lin. Residents must travel the three or four miles to Berlin or must go 10 Meriden if they have the desire 10 partake. in community functions.
 It is q sure thing that a communi- ty organization would meet with ap- proyal and would hold the interest Of all residents.
 Judgment For S2,250
 Sherwood Doolittle of Wethers- field was awarded judgment of sA250 by Judge L. J. Dickenson in the superior court at Hartford yes terday in the action of Mir. Doolitue against Morris and Louis Cherniack of Meriden. The original suit was for S.5,000. The trial occupied three days, the attorneys for the plaintiff being A. E. O'Brien and Forward X Daly, and for the defendant, D. R. Woodhouse and Cohen Ss Cohen.
 This suit grew out of an automo- bile accident on the Berlin turnpike below the center of the town on May I, 1924. The Cherniack car, 1t was alleged, crowded the machine owned by Doolittle off the road, causing it to tip over. Mir. Doolittle was badly injured and claimed dam

ages on the grounds that his injuries have proved to be of a permanent nature.
 Morris Cherniack was tried in the Berlin town court on charges of reckless driving and evading re- sponsbility, for which he was fined s200 and given 8 jail sentence of six months. He appealed the case and at the superior court trial the jail sentence was removed, but the fine stood as originally given.
 Conference Committee Meets
 A meeting of the We'll Child con- ference committee of Kensington was held this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the T. A. E. hall, a number of women being present to hear a talk on the work by Eunice B. Paulding, field organizer of these committees.
 This is the only child health work in Kensington, it is pointed out, and it is felt that an enthusiastic boarh Of women can do a great deal toward making the well child con- ferences real help to more mothers and children in the town.
 Well Child Conference
 The next We'll Child conference in kensington is scheduled for Friday, March IS, from until D. m., in the T. A. B., hall A nurse will be present and will deliver an im- portant message to mothers. These conferences are held under the di- rection of the state department of health.
 Office in New Britain
 Dr. A. J. Goodwin, well known kensington physician. has opened an office in New Britain in order to accommodate his growing practice Tn that city, it was announced today Dr' Goodwin will continue to reside III kensington and will care for his practice in Berlin, being at his New l5rltaln office only few hours each day.
 Display of Fireworks
 If is whispered around Bor1in that there will be a gorgeous dis play of fireworks at the special town meeting tomorrow night which has been called so that inc residents may act on the reassess- ment question. That the meeting Will become a debate between fac- tons in Berlin and Kensington is the rumor being circulated and if this be the case, taxpayers should bring sleeping equipment, as it will be an all night proposition.
 Many Kensington residents arc heartily in favor of the new process or rcassessment. claiming that if will bring new settlers to the town by a reduction of the tax rate and also that an equalization Of assessment is welcome at any time. Several far sighted indi- point to the time when this proposition must go into effect. so they say, Why Not Now"
 Several residents say that this new form of apraisal will, no doubt, | raise the grand list and will lower the tax rate in proportion. The tax rate has been a Berlin bug-a- boo for several years and this spectre has scared away many business men seeking place to locate. as well as prospective house. holders.
 The time is s o'clock tomorrow night. The place, the town hall.

and carry through to success, That this building is success and the pride and glory of our city is due to MT Rookwell's faithful perform ance of his famous dollar contract.
 Tt is gratifying to remember that during Mir. Rockwells life his fellow citizens attested their ap- preciation of him by their votes and by their cordial support of him in his large plans for the benefit of tho city, In common with our fellow citizens we mourn the death of MT. Rockwell, In his death the city loses a public spirit citizen and one whose memory should be cher ished by all, particularly by all friends of the public schools.
