Berlin News DEEP RUTS JOLT " UNWARY DRIVERS Conditions on Road Being Re- paired Canse Hostile Comment CUTS CONSIDERED MENACE Fast Berlin After Double Header Baseball Games For Saturday— Son Born to Local Residents—Car- ter Refuses to Act Further. i Considerable criticism is afoot | among the residents of the town re- | garding the excavation activities of the Gammino Construction Co., which is handled the building of the new highway between Worthing- | ton Ridge and the New Britain city | line. Local residents feel that, although | the construction work necessarily | means many drawbacks to the mo- torists, the Providence firm is not | caring for the open portion of the | road as it should. Particular criti- cism is cast at the ditches which | now scam the highw culvert con- | struction having nccessitated the | trenching of the road. It is stated ! that upon completion of the culvert work, the ditches were losely filled in | with dirt which rapidly sunk after | the pounding it received at the hands of the daily traffic and today | four or five ruts approximating six | inches in depth present a dangerous menace to automobils traffic which could be eliminated through the more complete filling in of the ex- cavations. Bus trafiic which traverses this road is especially hard hit by the condition of the highway, the deep ruts necessitating an almost com- plete stop before the heavy machines can roll over the deep ruts in th: surface of the road. Bus operator state that if one of the ruts was struck while the bus was going at a normal rate of speed there would be a good chance that the would leave the road and turn tur- tle. Motorists unfamiliar with the roads have received many hard bumps as they struck the deep ruts in the main highway. Although the road is legally closed by state sign boards warning passing machines that the highway is in poor condi- tion, the fairly good condition of the roads on either side of most of the bumps often disarms the ddvers who attempt to make up for time lost in the arcas of actual copstruc- tion. The district under _discussion is mainly situated on the Beach Swamp road, ulthough conditions there have been aided a little by the work of employes of the Connecticut com- pany who, in connection with the re- moving of the old trolley tracks, fill- ed in some of the deeper ruts for the safety of the busses that traverse the | highway at that point. The worst rut exists on the Farmington avenue thoroughfare, in front of the Berlin Auto Sales Co. It is understood that employes of that concern have tried to alleviate conditions by continual applications of dirt fillings but the traffic of the highway demands some filling material more substantial than ordinary dirt, they claim. While for the most part, residents of this place have proved willing to overlook many existing conditions in order that work on the long dream- ed of highway might not be delayed, considerable agitation for the remc- dy of the bumps is atoot today. It is thought that the town officials will bring the matter before the state highway commission which, will notify the construction company ischeduling a double-header !tangle of dates, and as the Worth- { IZast Berlin.

Lewis and George Kanupka, and is being held at the New Britain police station pending trial before the regular Tuesday evening session of the Ber- lin town court, on charges of as- sault and battery.

Armed with a warrant, the two offi- cers descended upon Anderson's home last evening and brought him to the New Britain lock-up for con- finement until court this evening. ‘Wants Double Header John Demore, coach of the East Berlin Boys' club baseball team has announced that he will confer with Legion officials for the purpose of game to take s with the Berlin Juniors, place in East Berlin on Saturday.

He stated that first rumors of the new highway included repairs to the approaches under the iction of the Meriden depart- ment and it was under these condi- tions that he pledged his support to the move. Carter stated that other roads of the community were in need of repair before he would con- sider. the advisability of spending vart of the appropriation on the West DPeak approaches.

Baseball Tonight The Peck Spring-Plainville Cast- ing Co. team, after a long stern chase from the cellar, has its chance to slip Into second place this week. All it has to do is defeat the tail-end Standard Steel aggregation in the In- dustrial baseball league game to be played this evening at the high school field. The Spring Casters have won four in a row and the Bearing Makers have dropped eight straight, so not much trouble is ex- pected on that score. A victory will bring fhe Casting Co. only half a game away from first place, so that when the Temcos and Businessmen play Thursday the loser will drop be- low the Spring Casters. The Stand- ard Steel may have something to say about that yet, however. Camp Ground Program Rev. Arch Tremayne, Ph.

During the first week contests of various sorts were organized with prizes for the winners. The pri were tickets to the Strand theater, supplied by Joseph T. McCarthy.
