It was said by many that if two minutes more had elapsed that it would have been doubtful whether the church could have been saved as the shingles were dry and burned like finder.

Brick Making Costly in |. S.-Com- mjttecs Urge Vote for New Srhoo' -Rcrlin Telephones 10 be Modcrn' ilcu-LO-Hi Girls Give S:I.

Berlin brick manufacturers are very much interested Tn the possl- bilitv of protective tariff being nlaced on brick, which is being im- ported into the country at the pres ent time tariff free. At the present time the amount of brick that is be- ing brought to this country amounts 10 about 1l0,0O0.h00 year. lhls IS making serious inroads in the brlck industry in this state and in New York, as the ma jority of these bricks ore being unloaded in New York ana Connecticut. Much Of the brick pro- duc1ion from this state is being ship ped to New York.
 The Connecticut brick manufac- turers state that they have lnves'l- gated the conditions in Belgium and have found that the cost Of brick Tn that country is about B thousand. h With no tariff 10 be paid brick can be delivered in New York at cost Of s6 a thousand. while the cost of manufacture in Connecticut is from s1o.50 to $14 a thousand. The price Of labor. materials. and other sup plies in this state is much higher than that of the foreign countries. which accounts for the difference in P cost of production.
 The national association. the Con- mon Brick Manufacturers associa- iS ,t jIo n flf r. ing a tariff for the protection of the brick makers Of the United States. They have asked for a tariff of s5.25 on thousand for the purpose
 of protecting the brick industries in this country.
 It is expected that some action will be taken on the matter at the coming special session of congress. Nas the manufacturers feel that the importations are likely 10 affect the
 business in a serious way if there is
 no measure to establish uniform high price. to which the local plants
 are forced to hold. due to the cost

The appointment of Tommy Mon. ahan. sports mentor at the Bristo. High school. to the position Of as- sistant physical director of the pub lie schools is now being urged b, men prominent in the city affairs and it is possible that the ever-in- creasing sentiment 10 promote the l popular coach may eventually resui; i in such action being taken.

 Popular With Students
 There is proba bly no more popu lar figure with the youth of Bristo than Tommy Mona han. and there i' certainly no one who is held il greater respect than the high schoo coach. Since becoming identified with sports in the city. Tommy hs: devoted himself to training the boy in the Boys club and many of th' high school stars have received their earlier training under his guidance. The success of Bris' ol Higi basketball teams during the past few years has been attributed to certain extent 10 the carly training
 Has Had Many Oncrs
 Because of his success in building 1 up championship basketball teams , Monahan has received numerou. o'' fers for his services from other schools and it is understood that . number of these. if accepted, would have paid him many times what ht is now receiving at the local institu ton. Tommy. however, at various times has expressed real love fo Bristol high and it is this feeling which has without question held hin here.
 The appointment of the loca coach as supervisor Of the city'' playground activities during the va cation season has also been sug' gested. although such suggestion' | have not been made to the city coun- ci. For the past three years the employment Of supervisor at | salary of 800 a season has be ar approved by the city playground commission and the city council. and the supervisor employed is resident of a city in Massa chusetts Admir-.
