BERLIN'S PROBLEM

PROGRAM INVOLVES $4,000
Limit Of Borrowing Power Being
Approached With Need For Ex'

Briefs.
PROGRAM INVOLVES $4,000

According to approximate figures
learned today. Berlin will be near
the limit Of Its borrowing power u
the townspeopls tomorrow night
vote to 20 ahead with the proposed
new school building in kensington.
Bonds to cover the approximate
$4,000 cost must be issued and
the towns approximate indebted
ness will increase FROM $4,000 to
$4,000.
Berlin's grand list this year will be
approximately 100000 but the
town has tho right to borrow
on the exempted property including
churches, schools. etc. at the rate Of
Ave per cent of the total amount Of
approximately 100000. This
means the limit would be reached
when Berlin borrowed $4,000.
At the present time the town Is
In debt on bonds to the extent Of
$4,000. Aided to this is school
deposit fund of $4,000 and with the
debt incident to the expense OF the
fire districts the total is approx
mately $4,000. With the added
expense of erecting school .he
town would be in debt approx
mately $35O.0OO.
People of Berlin. kensington and
Last Berlin districts are faced with
the question: do we want to 60
into debt further or do we want TO
forego adequate school accoinmoda-
tons? This question will he decided
at a special town meeting in Town
hall tomorrow night at o'clock.
1t Is expected that opponents Of
the plan will advance the argum.n Mt
that the town may soon have to COIL
struct fire house and this will bbe
further expense and further indebt-
ness. They will probably offer q
compromise plan which will include
the construction OF q smaller ad-
dition.
Those who favor the addition say
conditions in the kensington CRAM

on the property about 10 years ago
and although it should have been

the state. The reason 10 that il SUI

time this has happened In the his

At present Mr.. Alling has made no
move to appeal to superior court.
preferring to wait until he sees what
the board Of relief will do. Several
appeals have been made to superior
court but there has never been a re-
versal by the court.

changed the filthy sty of the past into decent

One farmer had about given up hope Of ever
being successful pig raiser. 1t usually took
him about 3 or months TO bring a hog up 20
200 pounds and by that time the profit was all
eaten up. This year, trying for the last time,
but following the Government advice he raised
80 shoats to 200 pounds in five months and I'VE
days and received for them 1897, or 1914 more

Indian Mound Builders
Fond of Good Eating

Tender tlrkey, duck, racy venison
and 'possum, frog legs, and even the
French delIcacy Of snails were rellshed
by the early Indian mound builders
OF central Illinois That the mound
builder knew his meats and used
them In great variety Is indicated by
the bones found in recently excayated
mounds. Frank @. Baker, curator of
the University OF Illinois museum, has
reported TO the Illinois Academy Of
Science. Beaver, squirrel, raceOOn,
geese, clans and fish were all on the
menu
Tools as well as food were furnished
by animals. The sharpened bones OF
deer were especially useful for such
things rs avis, chisels, scrapers and
needles A large mollusk shell fast
ened to handle made an excellent
hoe. Smaller shells became spoons.
The Indian happer wore necklaces OF
pearls. or small shells, and used clam
shells for earrings The warrior deco
rated himself with the teeth Of bears,
one human skeleton found having
teeth from ~ bears In one mound
was found human jawbone and the
jawbone Of dog, drilled, apparently
worn around the neck as an amulet.
National trade was used by the
mound builders to secure m0llusk
shells from Florida and the Gulf Of
Mexico. These probably came by way
OF the southeast, passing from tribe
to tribe, until they reached the In

with the child In her arms admitted

was to have a yearly income rs long

and female, but absurd as this idea

It was quite In accord with the scien'

who assumed relation between the
stars and different gems. Later a spe-

seen lis bearing on the modern cal

Such ideas relgned supreme In the
