LARGE SUM SPENT 0N HIGHWAY WORK Total at End Of Month Will
 Be S21,O0O FIRNDALE PLAYS TONIGHT
Foreclosure Brought on Pennington Avenue Property By Plymouth Residents - F'alChctti Returns Home From Hospital.

A total of So1 900 will have been spent by the town of Berlin on road and highway repairs and upkeep at the end of the fiscal year which closes the last day of this month.
 The sum of sl2,5O0 was entered in the budget for this work and an additional sS,5O0 was voted for the purchase of road materials.
 Of these amounts there was on hand as of the first of August a bal ance of s1,495.20 and it is believed that there will be sufficient bills coming in before the close of the year to eliminate this balance.
 First Selectman Leon G. Hall has spent considerable of his time and energy during the past two terms 10 put the roads of the community in good shape.
 There are several of the towns roads that are as yet without bene- fit from the selectman's campaign for better roads but this is due to the unlimited amount made available each year for this particular object.
 Berlin. which is twice as large in area as the city of New Britain, has better than 5U per cent of the road area of that town and yet the ap- propration made for their repair and upkeep is less than 10 per cent of the amount that New Britain ex- pends annually on this project.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT 0F BUILDING HERE No New Houses Built Here Since
 Last May
 CONLlN FUNERAL TODAY
Garden Club Makes Final Plans For Flower Exhibit Next Week-Bi. Baseball Attraction This Evening At High School Fieid-Items.

Building operations in Plainvila | have hit such low peak that not a, single permit for the erection of new house has been issued by the | building inspector since last May. The town is experiencing one of its l poorest years in the building line in nearly decade with no promise of pickup in the remaining months. At the present time it appears as though the building decline will continue for the remainder of the year.
 Last year the town enjoyed q very prosperous building period, 34 new l buildings and numerous factory ad- dition, being built during the stretch of 19 months. The highlights of the year were the erection of the $l5O,000 addition to the TrumbuIl factory and the $30,000 addition 10 the Linden street schools. Buildings erected during the year were valued at $424.900.
 This year has been a direct con- trast so far. During the months of May, June, July and August in 1929, work was started on buildings val ued at S70,000. May alone witness ed the issuance of permits estimat- cd at value of S30,OO0. During the same months this year. work was started on only two housas | which were valued at about S9.0Oa. l Both these permits were issued Tn , May and since then not sincc 1 permit for new building has been | issued. The comparison shows a difference of $61,OOO in the summer months of the two years.
 The past month of July saw but four permits for repair work being issued from the building inspector < office.

A NECESSARY EVIL

Daily papers have given much space
to the Ruth Hanna Mccormick in
vestigation of the Senator Gerald p.
Nye's investigation. Mrs. Mccormick
is senatorial candidate to the United
States senate from Illinois and Sena-
tor Nye is chairman of the Senate
Campaign Fund committee whose
duty it is to see that candidates do
not spend more than the law allows
during their campaigns. In this case
Nye was investigating the reputed ex-
penditure of more than S250,000 of
Mrs. McCormick's personal fortune in
behalf of her candidacy. In turn Mrs.
Mccormick hired detectives to shadow
Nye to investigate his investigation,
so the story goes.
Now in the first place we cannot
see why and how an office that pays
only $4,000 per year can mean so
much to a person that he or she will
spend sum of such enormous pro-
portions to gain it. That kind of
legislation surely cannot offer much
benefit to the public as a whole
Money is needed for the sustenance
Of the human body. 1t is needed to
make the wheels of progress go round
but when it is brought into play to
forward a selfish desire it becomes a
necessary evil.

MIDDLE CLASS WOES in SICKNESS
(Duluth NeWS-Tribune)

There has been much said lately
about the terrible misfortune that
sickness requiring extended medical
attention, disqualification, and nurses
care is to white-collar man of small
means who must live up to his in
come and whose savings are usually
small or nonexistent Frequently it
means financial ruin, with all the
pains and penalties that follow.
The rich may be Indifferent to such
burdens. The very poor get attention
somehow for nothing. The middle
class man is too poor to pay and too
proud to accept aid. In any case So
ciety has no present visible resources
to help him. This sad situation is
recognized by doctors and nurses, and
various plans are being considered to
help out
A certain philanthropist has pro-
vided nurse endowment at Boston.
The provision is enough to pay each
year nurses wages. The nurse thus
endowed goes out without fees where
she is sent. But perhaps some would
object to the service of an endowed
nurse, so proud and anxious are they,
when one of the family is sick.
Another scheme is the part-time
nurse. Usually most sick people actu-
ally need a nurse only an hour or two
each day. The charge is proportion
ate. This way has no faint of pau
perism, and it seems good and practi-
cal.
The wages of professional nurses
seem high to the middle class sick.
But the nurse does not get work all
of the time. Hence, like all others,
she seeks wage when she works that
will produce enough from her work.
ing time to provide for her for the
year. This is not blameable, but the
sick man who pays has to pay to make
up for many idle days. This is not
equitable. A way must be worked
out so that middle class honest man
"can enjoy being sick" without being
pauperized at the same time.
