A. B. Society Radio—Coal Situation - Better— Other Items, the Has High water caused by the heavy fall of rain yesterday caused consid- erable inconvenience to both pedes- trians and automobilists. Under the railroad bridge the water reached » depth of nearly four feet. Cars were held up and pedestrians were forced to cross on the rallroad tracks. Auto- mobiles were not able to get through the water and one wagon, the driver of which attempted to get through, pbecame caught in the middle of the underpass and it required the help of a trolley car to pull his wagon out. On the New Britain road the water * overflowed from the fields on each side of the road half way between Upson’s Corner, and Sandbank hill. Cars were able to proceed as usual until last evening, when the water on the tracks and over the road froze. Several of the cars had to be loft In Rerlin all night. The water ‘subsided this morning, but people were inclined to think that it would again rise to- day, if much of a thaw was exper- ienced. Men working on buildings on Lower Lane were unable to get past the bridge thlis morning, the water being $0 high.. The road from Farmington avenue to the Town Jarm was also under water today.

Plamwlle News FIREMEN TOTEST NEW LADDERS TODAY Members of Hose Gompany Lear- ing to Drive New Mack Truck THAW FLOODS MANY CELLARS | Legion Members Object to Flying Flag at Night—St, Patrick's Day Socials =Church Notices—Items of Inter- cst and Drlefs, The members of Hose company No. 1 will test the new ladders which were received on the new Mack truck today. The details of the practice to be indulged in were not revealed, but, in order to safeguard against any ac- cldent in case that the new apparatus should be put into use in the near fu- ture, it will all be tested before it is used. During the past week, lessons in driving the truck have been given to the various members and it Is ex- pected that the machine will be put into commission answering calls with- in the next week or so, Thaw Floods Cellar Reports from various sections state that the rain yesterday and the re- sultant thaw of snow, caused a great deal of inconvenience to many pro- perty owners whose cellars were part- ly filled with water. The flow in some places reached the proportions of a miniature flood, and in places where the snow had been banked high and the runways were stopped, the water had to take the best exit and that proved to be the cellars of the houses. No damage of any great amount was reported. « Questions on Flag Many members of DBrock-Barnes post, American Legion, have been questioning the propriety of flying the flag in the center during the night. The flag has been put at half mast in honor of Colonel Hadsell, who died in the port of Lisbon while en- route to this country, and this pro- cedure has been heartily approved of by the legion as a body. The Legion members claim, how- ever that the proper regulations con- cerning the flag have been thrown into the discard and instead of hav- ing the colots lowered and placed in- side during the night, they have been left flying on the mast in the center. Army regulations, according to them, require that the colors be raised at sunrise and lowered again at sun- down, and they say that the same procedure should be followed at the pregent time, Those who have been objecting, state that they intend to bring the matter to the-attention of the post, when it shall be in session Monday evening, and they hope to have steps taken whereby someone will see that the proper procedure with regard to the flag is followed in the future. Building Additions The Plainville Casting Co., is erect- ing a new addition to its bulldings on Whiting street and expect that they will be put into use another ground factory in the near future, ac- cording to latest reports.
