Another acciden: occurred yester- aiternoon when the 1:40 o'clock ar from Berlin street left the raila when about half way up Damon's Hill. The car w to have left the terminus o the line at 1:40 o'clock but due to the spreading of the rails, left the tracks at this place. It iy said that hardly a jjar was felt in- asmuch as the rails spread and all eight wheels of the car left the tracks one time. The trolley bed along this part of the line is even with tho road bed which #iso accounts for the fact that but a slight jar was felt. The car was in charge of Conduct- Malloy and Motor:ran Root. It Was necessal for i(he wrecker to come from New Britain before the trolley was placed back on the tracks. In the meantime the working: crew fixed the tracks. There was no traf- fic from Damon’'s Hill to the end of the line on Berlin street from 1:40 until after 6 o’clock. The Connecticut company for the past two weeks has had repair men from New Britain busy on the tracks of the local line. Some people are of the opinion that inasmuch as the com- is repairing the old tracks new ones will not be laid in the spfing. No notice to the effect, however, has been issued by the office. Two car- loads of rails are being stored in White Oak and it was said to be the intentions of the company to lay these rails in Berlin as soon as the weather permits. In the meantime the present tracks must be kept in repair. with proper signs of a. fifty feet, be main- tained at said underpass.

BEARDSLEY 'mml a good sum. M:s. L. Newton T .f ; Congregational’ Church Sends Letter to Windsor Pastor—Many Recall Serious Wreck of 21 Years Ago— Ladies’ Aid Plan Meeting. The Town Plan Commission held a public meeting at the Town Hall last night for the purpose oi reaching a decision whereby a building line may be established on the east side of ‘Whiting street, from the Neri block to Maple street. Arguments ‘were presented and a petition to that -ef- fect was brought forward. No defi- nite decision, however, was made, and the matter stands as it was, no build- ing line. The petition was started by Postmaster Peter Prior, Henry Trumbull and Mrs. L. Newton. This was drawn up as a result of the new front that is being built on the Tani V_vlovk directly across from the post- office. Many of the citizens are of the opinion that the addition to the building would mar the business-like appearance of the center of the town, and made the street in that section very narrow. At the meeting last night, A. H. Condell acted as chairman and “F. L. Benzon as cler After several argu- ments were presented in favor of the proposed line, it was decided by the Town Plan Commission to withdraw it and act at a later date on the prop- osition of working on a larger scale and eslablishing a building line from e Neri block to Broad street. The street at the Tani block section is now 58 feet widg and hopes are being held out for widening it to 73 feet. This would mean an additional seven and one-half feet on each side of the street, which would necessitate the moving back of the buildings stand- ing there now. The town would was represented at the meeting by Judge of Probate Merrit O. Ryder. She was satisfied with the present im- provements now being made on the Tani block. Stanley S. Gwillim, John B. Minor and Senator John H. Trumbull sug- gested a survey and the establishment of a building line from the center of the town to Broad street. Joseph N. McKernan made a special survey of the land in contention yesterday act- ing on the suggestion of Henry Trum- bull. This sketch was shown at the meeting. Plans are made by the town for building the Town Hall on the corner of Maple and Whiting streets, that property having been purchased some time ago by the town. That the sec- tion now under argument, will even- tually be the main thoroughfare, is looked forward to and should the attend this members are urged to meeting. Funeral of John Flynn. The funeral of John Flynn, who died at his home on Sunday morning, was held from St. Paul's church this morning at 9 o’clock. A solemn high mass was conducted by Rev. John C. Brennan Rev.

The Neri block now stands out too far in the opinion of many, and resirictions should have been made when the project of erecting it started. However, by establishing | a line from that block on to Broad street, additions to buildings along that section will be prevented, and the result will be an even street line rather than the ragged appearance it now presents.
