GILPATRIC CREDITORS
 LOSE OUT ON s55,00O
tContinued from First Page)

i rupt, Is serving a sentence of Is years in the federal penitentiary at ! Atlanta. having pleaded guilty to | the embezzlement Of funds of the
 First National bank of Putnam of which he was cashier.
 George W. Gilpatric. the petition CT, father of the bankrupt, died re- cently and the stock will be turned over to his estate when the order of i the court is compiled with.
 l The court says that the only evi- dence submitted on the hearing Of the exceptions, aside from the tes- timony of the officers of the various
 banks where the son had pledged /. the stock of the Whippe & Gil- patric corporation as security either
 for inducements or for personal loans, is the evidence in support of the exceptions as contained in briefs. as the whole matter was submitted on the written argument.
 ! The court was not disposed to de- part from the rule that the findings Of master, involving questions of iact and depending upon the weigh ing Of conflicting evidence, must be treated as unassailable.
 The decision holds that the bur den of proving the facts upon which
 10 predicate the estoppel lies upon
 the one who claims the benefit of
 the estoppel. The court finds the ev
 idence submitted by the trustee in
 support of his contention that the bank relied upon the bankrupt's all
 leged title to the 449 shares of stock
 of Whipple & Gilpatric corporation. in making loans to him or accepting his endorsements on negotiable pa- per, to be vague and inconclusive and the exception is overruled.

TOWN MEETING ID SETTLE PROBLEMS
improvements Asked Will Bene-
 fit Town Greatly fl Installed
 TRAFFIC SITUATION BAD
Resident Dies - Tabs to Play in Manchester - Engagement fn- nounccd Tripolia Dance - Thomas Jefferson Fund Starts - Other Items.

With town meeting drawing clos CT. residents of this place are re- viewing the situation and forming opinions on just what will be needed to cope with the various problems that confront Berlin at this time Probably the most important needs are, the installation of signal lights at dangerous corners, the obtaining of a night patrolman in the vicinity, the maintainance of regular patrol men and the establishment of a local jail.
 The need for signal lights is inn perative. The recent collision of two autos at the intersection of Warrington ridge and East Berlin avenue has pointed a finger at the glaring necessity that the corners be marked by some type of signal. The places that need this protection chiefly are; the corne rof Farming ton avenue and Berlin streets. Meri- den pike at Berlin street and the intersection of Worthington ridge East Berlin avenue. With the ln- stallation Of the proper system of warning lights, the menace of traf- fic accidents will be greatly reduced.
 The night patrolman problem which has recently cropped up was instigated by Kensington merchants and quickly taken up by residents of the other districts. The necessity of having such protection can be clearly seen as the township is at present unguarded by an authority at night. The place, growing as it Is, will attract criminals by it's ac- possibility from larger cities and it's unprotected homes and businesses.
 The maintainance of three regu- lar policemen that would be able to regulate traffic through the town would be a blow to speeders that make Berlin street a dangerous place to inhabitants. At present, un- hampered by any fear of arrest, they roar through the town at top speed, the smooth highway enabling them to push their cars to the limit. Berlin street, being as it is the main artery of the town and the most important and most used street in the town, is crossed many times a day by residents who are in con- stant danger from the speeding cars. Children have need to cross the street often and as they are not as watchful asthe older people, there are many breath-taking escapes from death experienced almost every day. This problem interests every member of the community and some action should take place to curb this menace before disaster visits the town in the shape of serious accident.
 The town also needs some sort Of a iail wherein miscreants that are arrested can be held pending trial. At present the prisoners are taken to New Britain, process that takes much time and is inefficient, There are three cells over the town farm that are not in use which could be transferred to the town hall and used for the purpose of de- taining arrested persons. The cost for the transferring Of these cells not being as great as the building of new shelters.
