ASpirants for Fifth District Tax
 Collector Crop Up
S37,50O REPORTED IN CHEST
Luigi Estate Awarded S6,00O In Superior Court-Policcman Bitten By Dog-Traud Alleged In Si ,oOO Suit Against Grocer,

Interest is being displayed in the East Bristol section in connection with the annual school meeting 10 be held by the fifth school district In June. One Of the important mat ters 10 be acted upon will be the election Of q district tax collector, q position which at the present time lis held hy Bartholomew I. Hcaley. an accountant residing on Pine street. IL is understood that several candidates are out for the job, among whom is Frank Matthews. mall carrier Of Forcstville. and David Bryce. The position is q sine cure. in the opinion Of many, par tcularly since the increase in the grand list compiled several months "go by the board Of assessors. The Bristol Brass Co.,, which pays in the neighborhood of AS per cent of the taxes of the district, makes the col lection rather simple matter and for calling at their office, the pres ent tax collector receives as his own share approximately $500.
 Whether or not the present tax collector will be dslodged is prob- lematical although 1t is well known that each of the aspirants for tho position have a number of packers. Healey is looked upon very favorahly however, by the school committee and his record since holding the po- sition has been good. Each year. he has made at least a 9o per cent col lection of the school taxes. IL is probable, however. that he will havn considerable opposition at thc coming meeting.

 Turing the past year. according to Figures released today by the board bf fire commissioners of tho city Of New Britain. This amount was spent
 Turing the fiscal year extending
 rom April 1, 1895, to March 3l. t9o6.
 This amount Is g large one and several Berlin residents upon hear Ing the figures said today that 1t would pay the town 10 establish its pwn fire department if the rate were going 10 be as high as that every
 car Last year the town paid Sl,- goo to New Britain for the use of
 ts fire department in times of need.
 The total of $2,700 for period of
 NO years would go a long way to-
 ward paying for the establishment Pf fire truck in Berlin. The charge : bet by New Britain when any of it's
 rucks arc called 10 Berlin to fight ! fire is $50 an hour or any part Thereof.
 The esta ablishmcnt of fire sta
 ion in town has long been sought by Pertain individuals and it appears
 hat more residents are seeing the eood judgment Of such q move. Nhcn there is a fire in Berlin an ordinary citizen has to go through a
 ot of red tape before the depart nent can be summoned. Unless he be bonded for the amount nNolved, le must get in touch with the town tlork, the selcCtmen or others in authority and must communicate 10 hem his desire to call the fire de- Partment because his home is in James. It is then up to the authori-
 les to summon the apparatus. IL n distance Of three miles from New Britain to Berlin street and Ire might gain much headway dur ng the time occupied hy the truck T. n reaching it.
 It Is probable that there will bo fome question raised at the noxt
 own meeting, as 10 why Berlin has E1eVer Investigated the policy of in- Etalling fire apparatus. The town is Growing and with this growth tho ire hazard becomes proportionately greater. Newington, it is pointed put, has fire truck of its own. and IS thought that Berlin might have pne too. IL Is needed, residents say St. Paurs Card Party Plans have been. practically rom.

NEW MATERIALS
FOR ROOFS ARE
BEING ORDERED
Not Necessary to Remove
Old Shingles Now, Says
Vonnegut Man.

The roofing season Isl almost in
full swing now and unusually large
orders for roofing materials are be-
ing placed, according to Ralph C.
Vonnegut Hardware Company, 120
r. Washington st.
Modern improvements in roofing
materials have helped the roofing
business, Vonnesut said. Many old
homes are being re.roofed without
removing the old shingles. This proc
ess eliminates the time formerly re-
CURED in removing old roofs and
also eliminates the muss brought
about by the tearing off of old
wooden shingles.
Fireproof provisions Of modern
types of roofing materials have
greatly improved indianapolis homes.
Modern types OF roofing are also
more attractive in design and finish
he said.
we have found the opening Of
the roofing season has brought on n
good business" Vonnegut said.
Spring has caused many home
owners to think about new roofs.
With the spring rains, many home
owners begin to- realize tho i'm
portance Of a good roof to preserve
and protect wallpaper, plaster and
furniture.
The firm has been handling the
Bird & Son line of roofing ma
terials and the demand has been
steady for these types of materials.
