DISCUSS LEGAL REMEDY
Litigation Thus Far Has Resulted in Favor of New Britain Despite Admitted Accommodating Condition Improved.

Complaints, assertions, and dc nunciations have been going thick and fast about the condition of the atmosphere in the region of East Berlin. So far it has been taken as q joke by the people who go through the town and by all of those who do not live in it. However, the complaints assumed serious propor- tions when it was learned that the present wave of ill health may be attributed to the condition of the river. Many cases of d mild form of grip have been reported to local physicians, and though it is thought by Doctor Hodgson, of Berlin. that the condition of the river is not the direct cause, it is one which does not help the condition of the pa ticnts.
 Residents claim that they are un- able 10 sleep nights for the odori- ferrous waves have tendency to penetrate cracks, and it is almost absurd to think of sleeping with windows open, they say.
 Several times during the past few years residents of the town have at tempted to sue the city of New Brit ain, but with very little success. New Britain seems 10 be legally pro t"cttN against these suits. In 1904 and 1905 the city purchased the rights of the landowners along the banks of the river. These rights, however, were brought up from the individual people living along the banks of the Mattabesctt, so that at present the individual claimant is simply "out of luck" As yet. con- rcrtcd action of the townspcople has not been attempted.

Edison Praises New
Electric Refrigerator

Electric refrigeration has made for
itself a definite place of Importance III
the sun, according to the great in
ventor, Thomas A. Edison.
Mr.. Herndon Mckay, sales manager
of the Electric Refrigerator Company,
local distributors of the General Elec-
trio Refrigerator, said that Edison, IN
a QUESTIONABLE, had named electric re-
frigeration one of the maryels OF the
present era. The Characterization OF
electric refrigeration was especially
remarkable in Edison's viewpoint, as
well as the commercialization of ultra
violet glass.
ut is only within the past two or
three years that tremendous Roadway
has been made in commercializing
electric refrigeration" Mr.. Mckay
stated.
"A few years ago II was a compare
lively unknown product and consld-
cred novelty and luxury. During
1928 almost one hundred and twenty
nine million dollars were spent for
electric refrigerators.
This vast expenditure was made by
the American public because electric
refrigeration is recognized as being
necessity.
Gail Sdltly say, Nhi AhSNoS "
clared, that no family who has cleo
tricity and modern plumbing would do
without them. And yet, both of these
important items in our daily life were
at one time considered luxuries. Elec-
trio refrigeration had to go through
practically the same cycle, but rose
from the luxury to the necessity class
in an amazingly short time. The sale
of four hundred and sixty-eight thous-
and domestic electric refrigerators
last year indicates the vast public ac-
ceptance accorded this modern meth
cd of food preservation.
During 1929 an even greater num-
Der of people will learn that food
should always be kept at a tempera-
ture of less than so degrees. 1t is esti-
mated that between six and seven
hundred thousand machines will be
sold in 1929"

CITY VOTES
LAKE FUNDS
Resaca Will Be Made Into
Beauty Spot: Dredging
Begins Soon

A beautiful lake is to be made of
the resaca which runs between the
city park and Los EbanoS as a re-
suit of action taken by the city
commission at a regular meeting
Friday morning authorizing A. w.
Singer to Immediately dredge the
side of the body of water which
fronts on the park.
Property owners in Los Ebanos
already had agreed to finance dredg-
ing on that side of the resaca but
Singer had stopped work when he
heard the city would not pay the
cost OF dredging on the park side.
Cost $4,000
The city had authorized the work
done about a year ago, with the
stipulation that Los Ebanos prop
erty owners must agree to pay the
cost for the work on that side OF
the resaca. Singer said he had been
informed the city would not pay It's
part or the expense. To clear up
the misunderstanding. motion was
made and passed that the city
would pay for dredging the resaca
on the park side TO depth OF SIX
feet below the waterline. provided
the work was done on the opposite
side at the same time.
Singer announced he already hac
agreement OF the Los Ebanos peo-
pie TO do the work and that dredg-
ing would begin Immediately.
The city's portion of the project
Is expected to cost between 5000
and $4,000.

PASTOR away
IN WISCONSIN
ON VACATION
All Fort Worth Fire
Fighting Apparatus
Called Out to Bat
tie Flames

FORT WORTH, Tex.
Aug. 16-(P)-The educa'
tional building of the First
Baptist Church was ignitec
by fire of undetermined orr
gin today.
DIR. j. Frank Norris, noted
fundamentals, is pastor o1
the church.
The educational building,
an annex to tie main church
building, was damaged in
the fire which destroyed the
church structure last Jan
Iary.
Firemen bent tne:r efforts chiefly
to prevent the fire from spreading
20 the church office building.
Virtually all available fire fight
ing equipment in the downtown
area was called out to battle the
fire. Police lines were established
to control a great crowd, attracted
by the smoke.
Fire in past years persistently has
pursued the fortunes Of the First
Baptist church.
Gasoline Cans Found
Several years ago, the main
church building vas burned down
and DR.. Norris was indicted and
tried on charges of arson. After
one of the most bitter court trials
in the history Of the state, he was
acquitted.
The church was rebuilt, but last
January again was destroyed by
fire. An intensive investigation re-
suited in the discovery of a number
OF cans believed to have contained
gasoline. but no definite evidence as
to the origin Of the fire was un-
covered.
DR.. Norris came into nationwide
prominence two years ago when he
shot and killed ID. z. Chipps, a
wealthy Texas lumberman, in the
study OF the First Baptist church.
DR.. Norris claimed that Chipps had
threatened his life, and in a muir
der trial he va acquitted.
Norris Charges Enemies
DR.. Norris has charged repeatedly
that threats have been mad eagainst
his life and the property OF his
church as a result of vigorous cam
paigns he has conducted against So
called vice and criminal elements In
Fort Worth and the state at large
The theory later was advanced
that a spark from a torch used to
break up steel girders ignited the
building.
Rev. j. Frank Norris. pastor of
the church, is in Wisconsin on his
vacation.

VALUATIONS
INCREASEDBY
S4,OOO,OOO
Commissioners Keep
Promise to Tax Pay
ers In Spite of High
er State Rate

The combined county and
state tax rate for Cameron
county in 1929 will be $2.14
and assessed valuations will
be approximately $48,439,-
$50, County Judge o. G.
Dancy announced Friday.
This is the same tax rate
as was assessed last year and
valuations have been in
creased approximately $4,-
100000 from the $44, 4,443,-
439 valuations of 1928.
The commissioners court had
promised to keep the tax rate at
the same figure in a resolution
passed last January. but this will
be an actual reduction OF county
taxes as an increase In the state
rate. expected TO be about cents,
will be absorbed In the county rate.
The exact county rate can not be
given until the state rate is set. The
county rate last year was $50 and
likely viii be- several cents below
that figure this year, depending
upon the rate set by the state.
Raise Bonding Capacity
In announcing the increase I'm as
sessed valuations. Judge Dancy
points out that a large part OF the
gain Is n result or having let road
contracts in December. 1928, and
urges that like action be taken this
year.
The bonding capacity OF the coun-
Nv will be increased at least $780,
600. Dancy believes and he suggests
that contracts for highway work be
let before the end OF the year and
that the bonds be offered for sale
on Jan. 3, 1880, in order TO prevent
assessing taxes against them for the
next year.
In this connection he suggests
that all contemplated grading and
structures be included In the con-
tracts let at the end OF the year.
