 On the Sick List
 Jason Taylor, chairman of the board of assessors, is reported as resting comfortably in the New Britain General hospital. He was taken 10 the hospital some time ago and an operation was perform ed on him last week. Since the operation he is reported as greatly improved. It is not known when he will be well enough to return to his home in kensington.
 Mrs. Myron D. Goodrich of School street has returned from the New Britain General hospital, where she was taken two weeks ago.
 Joseph Godeck of Worthington ridge, who was taken to St. Fran cis' hospital In Hartford early last week, was operated upon several days ago. He is also reported as being improved but is still at the hospital
 Richard DeMers of Berlin, son of MT. and Mrs. Clarence DeMers, who suffered a fractured arm in a fall from the veranda of his home two weeks ago. is reported as resting comfortably. He was taken to the New Britain General hospital, where it was found that the frac- ture he suffered was greater than at first supposed. X-rays were taken and it was found that he had sustained severe fractures of the elbow. It was thought that a bone would have to be taken out of his elbow to relieve the pain.
 Renovating Still Continues
 The month of October has prob, ably set a record for the number of houses to- be renovated or re- built. At one time there were as many as eight homes undergoing repairs during the month just passed. At the present time the house across from the monument is undergoing the finishing touches and will be soon completed The home next to the Community house is also being rebuilt, and work is progressing rapidly.
 The final day of meetings of the board of assessors in the rooms in the town hall finds only approxim- ately half of the number of lists submitted. Those lists that are not on time will be made up later by the board and an additional ten per cent on the entire assessment added to the total of the taxpayer. It was learned today that the lists have been coming in very slowly. and. though the assessors prophesied q big day today, they are not at all convinced that the town would suf- fer more than usual this year-in other words they expect more than the usual number of ten per cent additions to the bills of the local residents.
 Tax lists will still be received this evening until o'clock by assessors Frank Kramer and Carl Mueller.
 Armistice Day Program
 Plans for the Armistice Day pro- gram, the most important celebra- tion of the American Legion dur ing the year, are being made by a special committee. A report will soon be published.
 Halloween Quiet
 Nothing unusual was reported by the local constables regarding the yearly Halloween celebration. The streets of the town were very quiet except at intervals, when groups of youngsters, who had entered into the spirit of the evening, tried to emulate the well known Japanese festival by soaring away the spirits with a lot of noise. Not getting much satisfaction out of this, it is reported that several of the enthn- siasts, disregarding the evident feel ings of Messrs. Giana and Ronketty in Kensington, painted the windows Of the store very dull black and. calling it a night, departed to their homes
 Berlin street was quiet. With the exception of party in the Com- munity house and the Frolc in the Congregational church the street was deserted. Some commotion was
