FEAR THAT SEWERS
 WOULD RAISE TAX
FOreStYilIe Residents DiSinClined
 To Pay 30 1-2 Mill Rate
REGISTRARS WILL MEET
Will Plan Changes in Voting Lists Clothing Store Burglarizcd-Com plairant Arrested in Police Court Jail Sentence Suspended.

While the city of Bristol, by a recent act of the state legislature, las been authorized 10 issue bonds from time to time to an amount not exceeding s200,OO0 for the construc- ton of sewage disposal system ill the second taxing district, it is not believed that any action will be taken by the voters of the district affected until after the city elecion in October. The proposal must be sanctioned by the electors of the dis trict in question and this will ne There is also some doubt as tc whether or not the proposed inn provements would be agreed to by the voters because of the expense involved. which many believe is not warranted at just this time.
 At present property owners in the second taxing district are paying a total tax of 25 E mills. Of this tax, Is mills applies to the general city, one mill is for police protection af- forded the district, and S12 mills covers the tax levied by the 18th school district. It is argued that, if the sewerage system is installed an additional five mills at least will be added 10 the present rate, this ir addition to the assessment for the sewer trunk lines, which will prob ably amount to at least S5 front foot. A 3012 mill tax would mean that property owners in the Forest vile section would be paying the highest rate of taxation in the city and it would probably tend 10 re- tard building activities throughout the entire district.
 The question of a'sewagc disposa system was first brought up three years ago at a special meeting helt in Firemens hall, Forestvile. whor representative of the state water. ways commission. the state healtl department, city health departmen and city officials stressed the ne cessity of clearing the Pequabucl river of pollution. At the presen | time the central section of Forest vile is served by a sewerage system which empties into the river.
 Mayor w. Raymond Crumh al { recent meeting of the city council expressed the opinion that il was III to the residents of Forestyille to de eide on whether or not they wished 10 burden themselves with the eX pense involved in installing the pro 1 posed system. He intimated tha l the council would take no furthe action unless a petition for a spo | cial electors meeting was submitted by residents in the eastern section 0 the city.

STATE P0L|CELOSE
 CHURCH BELL CASE Both Sides on Trial as Aitel-
 math Of Might Before" EIGHT BOYS DISCHARGED
Town Court 2G Years Old - Post Onice Receipts Show Increase and Held for Naval Authorities.

In the bout between the state po- lice and eight alleged young church bell ringers last night in the Berlin town court the police lost by tech nical knock out and were not saved by the bell, for the bell was not rung.
 Charges of breach of the peace and assault were dropped for sev- eral reasons. l he state police were unable 10 identify positively the boys who were involved in the trouble, and the assault charge was with drawn as police admitted that the boys had offered no resistance 10 the :,rresting officer.
 It vas brought out that the boys had not entered the church and that they were arrested before they had committed any more serious crime than 10 walk along the street near the church at about o'clock on the morning of the Fourth Officer Henry Zehrer, Nho had s1id that the boys had broken a window Of tht church, when asked 10 point It out at the time of the arrest, was un able to do so, according to the boys arrested. Attorney C. J. Danaher of Meriden represented the boys, who were Burton Griffith, Donald McQueenie, Joseph Mccormick. John kindel, Benjamin Kosnek, John Skeene. Warren Rmgwood, and Wal ter Rdyhood.
 The police presented unconvincing testimony and the boys were not called to the witness stand to teSti- ty. Several times the remark was the state polCe?'
 When Officer Zehrer was asked why he took the boys to Hartford instead Of getting in touch with Prosecutor Lewis, who lives directly across from the kcnsington Con Gregational church. the officer had no answer. Ali eight boys were dis charged.
 Town Court 26 Years Old
 TwentysiX years ago today Judge Willard l. filling and Prose- cutor Elmer Austin of Berlin met in the town hall and the first ses- sion of the Berlin town court was held.
 Salvito Goeteno of Meriden was the first man 10 be fined in this court. He had been arrested. on a charge of assault as the result of a fight in kensington near the resi- dence of John Carbo. by Constable Taylor. In court Judge filling fined the man S2 and costs.
 Since that time there have been hundreds of cases tried in the court and in recent years automo bile drivers have been the source of most of the fines that have been taken in.
 At the time Of the founding of the court there was some opposi- ton from the residents of the town who preferred the old method 0. trying men arrested by the justice Of the peace. The court bill was in troduccd to the state senate in May 1903. and again in June. being pre- spnted by Senator Frank l.. Wilcox of Berlin. In June the governor signed the measure and on July ( the first session of the court was held under the new regime.

UPPER MARLBORO, February Is
The proposition to have the Legislature
now in session amend the law affecting
the tenure of Office of the county treas
urer so as to make that officer eligible
to succeed himself, has aroused consid-
cradle interest throughout Prince
Georges County. and the sentiment ap-
pears to be strongly in favor Of the
change The clerk of the Circuit Court,
the members of the Orphans Court and
the register of wills are not limited In
their tenure. Summarized D. Hall, the
present clerk, has been reelected sew
eral terms. and the same IS true Of
Register of Wills William T. Davis, Re-
publican. A number of years ago
county treasurer defaulted, and the
present law resulted. 1t is generally
agreed that this law now works a dis
tinct hardship, especially in the case Of
r. Ernest Smith, the incumbent, who
has been in the treasurer's Office for 20
years, serving as deputy register prior to
his election as treasurer in 1926. Prior
to his election as treasurer Smith served
rs deputy under Edward A. Fuller and
George w. Waters, jr., the latter now
president Of the board Of county COM
missioners, both in favor OF amending
the law.
The county commissioners Tuesday
informally Endorsed the plan.

Turf like magic carpet spread to in

bark to gold and stainless shadows to
the hues of royal silks A bird. scar

of the pool and dipped and drank, its
eyes aglow with the light Of sheer joy
in being!
Here was enchantment! A butterfly
painted by Aurora's own fingers, how
cred and sank, enraptured. Soft nut
ter of wings on overhead branch and
the bird by the pool sprang alert and
warbled it's lovenote, like a joyous cry
of ecstasy in the revelations of Spring!
A leafy background parted, and eyes
of mystery looked out into the watchers
own!
Phyllis forgot to breathe. The OPEN

youth in eternal dawn! In garments
of gossamer like shredded morning
mists, the vagrant leaves caught in 1t
like eager caressing hands: hair like
cling tendrils of passing night; eyes
wistful as the memories Of dreams!
With firm, sure step she bounded
down over root and stone, down to the
dell's carpet of green, and poised as
had the listening bird. She waited for
some sound. Her eyes darted expectant
from covert to covert, like an eager
childs begging for anticipated sur
prise. Then in the unchanging still

Had some expected companion disap-
pointed her? Was this trysting place?
Was some lover recreant?
She cupped her hands about her lips
and called--in a thrilling note no fiuted
