Proposed Building Regulations to Be Considered Further
LIVELY DISCUSSION ENSUES
News of Death of Former Resident Received Here Berlin Juniors lin this Evening-Briefs.

Two properties were recommended by the school board and accepted and the proposed building code, sub r1itted by the investigating commit tee appointed in 1925, was held over for action at later date at the special town meeting which was held last evening at the town hall. A fairly sizeable attendance was pres ent and considerable discussion at tended each of the three projects. Robert Deming was appointed mod orator and Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff was clerk.
 8. Chase Coale. chairman of the school board. presented the first res- olution to be voted on. that concern ins tho purchase of piece of pro- psrty adjacent to the South school and owned by Adam Adamovitch. for the purpose of setting out a play ground.
 MT. Coale presented the issue as . question of public safety for the children attending the school, stating that there was little room for chill dren to play at that school and as the main highway ran past the place, the board believed that the adoption of the resolution was important as 8 safety measure. The motion pass ed with no opposition. With the resolution calling for an appropria- ton of $500 for the purchase of the property and the levying of a tax to meet the appropriation, Major F. l.. Wilcox asked for particulars con- corning the levying of the tax. Mir. Coals responded that the form of plank" mills had been advised by tho town counsel. Judge Bernard F. Gaffgay. First Selectman George R. Carter rose to say that it was his idea that the finance board would care for the appropriation at it's reg ular meeting. MT. Coale supported this statement, and the resolution was changed to state that the amount of taxation for appropria- ton would be set by the finance board.
 The chairman of the school board then presented the second resolu- ton, calling for the purchase of parcel of property owned by Will lard l. filling and situated on All ing street, size 210x315 feet, at a price of s3,Soo. Dr. Matthew H. GrisWold asked the chairman at what price the property was assess ed, MT. Coale responded that al though the question was unusual and the board had not looked up the as- sessm ent, his indication of its com- parattve value was based on the fact that an acre nearby, less attractive than the land under consideration bv the board. sold recently for s. N0o, He then went on to say that .he ,yoperty was considered for ex- tension purposes to relieve crowded conditions in kensington schools. At honne future time, he stated, the board intended to build school. Mr. Coale stated that the proposed building would probably be large structure.
 In snswer to the question put by one of the citizens as to why the board did not plan to build on pro- perty already owned. the chairman sttted that this practice was frowned on by the state. Mir. Coale stated that 1t was becoming evident that
