DerZln NeWS TOWN OWES STATE FOR HIGHWAY WORK Indebtedness Of S1,60O Reported
 at Public Meeting NEWS SHOCKS CITIZENS
World War Memorial to be Repaired Two Berlin Girls Enter Normal SChoO,-Partics silent on Date for tauCuScS,

If the town Of Berlin wants to build roads it should finance the building program itself" was the startling rojOindcr of Executive Deputy Commissioner C. C.. Nichols of the state highway department in answer to q Query by Judge filling regarding the share Berlin might get from the state after the latter had cut the melon of the state high way fund. Judge filling quoted Nichols at the special town meeting last night to appropriate $1,S75 in order to allow the selcctmen to ask for an allotment from the state Of $I,500. To the tOWnspcoplc gathered there, q score or so. the news came as a shock. To all intcnts and pur- poses the meeting had been called mcr"Iy as matter of form, and q procedure through which the officials of the town must go in order to ob- tain sum of money from the state
 The town owes $1 GOO to the state, it i9 said, as an unliquidated balance carried over from the time Inc road 10 East Berlin was constructed Al that time the state paid for the road, or it financed it, and since then the town of Berlin has been paying for it. town officials say. Not m actual cash transactions but in tbc books of the state. Whenever the state had money the legislature pass cd a bill providing for a distribution among the towns of the state as part of the state aid for highway con struction During all these years the money due Berlin was retained by the state to pay for the East Berlin road, it is claimed.
 Several weeks ago Sclcctman Leon Hall received letters from the state highway department, and blanks 10 fill out which led him to believe that a sum of money was available for town use. He took the matter up with the legal adviser of the town, Judge E. r. Gaffncy of New Britain. After studying the matter the Judge strengthened Halls opinion by as suring him that the town had that much coming. He drew up rcsolu- tons 10 that effect and they were printed in the Herald, calling the Fpccial town meeting.

New Britain herald., 1929-09-06

At present there is no way of learning whether or not the state 1 really owes the town money. This will be determined in the next two weeks. No action was taken at the meeting last night other than a post pon"ment for two weeks, when the matter will be brought up again pro- Fiding there are new developments.
 Is It a Trunk Line?
 A question brought up at the meeting last night, whether the MiddlctoWn road is part of the sys- tenn of state trunk highways, was referred to the town clerk. The state took over the road almost i'm medlately after the new highway was constructed, and it has been a state road since. Many complaints have been received by the authori- ties and much comment has been clicItcd by the condition of the state road entering East Berlin as far as the MiddlotOWn line As soon as a motoriSt settled down to the sweep Ing curves and the mile straight ''''ftN, t'illIOoI tto HOpI GtS Ilt ItIlttIS that the town is after all a boauti- full placc-he strikes the bad stretch of road. Nothing has been done to the road since the new stretch of highway was constructed with the exception of occasional tarring and sanding. With prospects of a sum of money from the state it was thought that something might be done to alleviate the situation. Now, it is not certain whether anything will be done
 Monument to Be Repaired
 The war memorial at the corner of Berlin street and New Britain road is to be repaired as soon as possible, according to Selectman Hall. Agitation for that has been going on for some time The re pairs are not extensive. The stone wall is the worse for the weather and in one place il has been broken. It is thought that if the brick walks were taken up and then rclaid in a durable. In some cases it is possible lO DICK up the DIlCkS.
 The monument was finished i'm mcdiatoly after the war and built on land donated by Major Wilcox. The sailor and soldiers monument in kcnsington ranks with it as be- ing one of the oldest in the country. It was erected as il tribute to those who died in the Civil war.
 EIct ton Time

Proper Parking Space Is
Urged for Roadside Stands
Location too Close to Highway
Creates Traffic Hazard, Bulle-
tin Says ..

The season when new filling sta
tions and refreshment stands will
be springing up along the highways
is at hand. "A bulletin issued by
the State Highway department this
week makes several suggestions
for the guidance of persons plan
ming roadside stations.
The department will not permit
any stands to encroach upon the
highway right-of-way. Beyond that
the department has no power of
control, but the bulletin suggests
that if stands, pumps and other
structures are placed at least
twenty-five feet back of the right
of-way line, it will provide park
ing and turning space which will
be convenience to customers and
increase business.
On many routes the Highway de-
partment is acquiring additional
right-of-way, to allow for widening
the roadway at some future time.
In such cases buildings, stands and
pumps must be moved back. While
property owners are reimbursed
for the value of the land and dam
age to structures, the owner of the
business faces the Inconvenience of
moving and the loss of business
during the moving operations. If
stands are placed farther back,
business will not be interrupted in
case it becomes necessary to widen
the highway.
Stands which are right up to
the highway right-of-way often
constitutes an actual traffic hazard
due to cars stopping in front OF
them. Many drivers hesitate to
stop at stands where there is not
ample parking place to insure safe
ty. Drive ways to establishments
near the highway must be slopec
so that they will drain away from
the highway.

political machine. Besides cutting
the department of conservation bill
to pieces, the senate forced the
withdrawal of the bill authorizing
the use of trust funds to maintain
a state forestry school and the
abandonment of the bill providing
for state nurseries.
There is great bitterness in the
house over the senate's action on
the forestry bills, and a couple OF
days later, just to tell the world
how the other branch stands, the
'fCzar" bill was passed by a vote
of 80 to Is. Representative R. G..
johnson, of Forest Lake, men,
Der of the iterim commission,
charged that cit was not the mer-
its Of the reforestation program
that brought about its defeat in
the senate: instead, it was politics
with reference to the election of
the next governor of Minnesota.
AS an aftermath of the wreck
of the forestry program, there is
a strong feeling among both SEN
ators and representatives that there
shall be no more expensive interim
commissions, of which there have
been SO many the past ten years.
Governor Christianson vetoed
the Minimum Wage Bill, which
provided that wages in the erection
of a state building shall be the
same as the highest prevailing scale
in the community where the build
ing is erected. The bill, accord
ing to the governor, sets forth
"the novel doctrine that the high
est bidder should be preferred"
and discriminates against men
who work on materials for a state
building in favor of men working
on the building itself.
The AntilLoan Shark Bill, which
has been before every legislature
for about ten years, was killed in
the house, Friday morning. It
legalizes an interest rate on small
loans of AZ per cent per year and
that, in the opinion of the coun-
try members, who don't come in
to contact with loan sharks (who
operate in the big cities only, is
a dangerous thing to do.
Notwithstanding that two years
ago, Ted vetoed a bill raising the
pay of the members of the legis-
lature from $1,000 to $500 per
biennium, the house passed a SINH
lar bill the other day. Evidently
the representatives want to prove
they are no cutters and that they
are worth a lot,
