Since the abandonment of trolley tracks on Worthington ridge in Berlin, there has been constant agitation for the removal of the tracks by the residents of the town who claimed that numerous ac dents were caused by the rails. Dur- ing the winter, it is clalmed, many ou. of state cars, not knowing of the presence of the tracks, get the wheels of their machines caught in the tracks and bad accidents result. There has also been great agita- tion by the local residents to have the epace within the tracks filled in 50 as to make the road even. The state highway department which has charge of the local state roads stated that it will be necessary in the near future to repair Worthing- ton ridge completely and by filling in the space between the tracks, the department would lose timc and money. Lately, however, the tracks have risen about an inch above the sur- face of the road due to the heavy traffic of trucks and present a dan gerous condition. Only a few weeks 4go & truck driver lost control of his vehicle when the wheels of the machine got caught in the tracks and crashed into a pole. After careful inspection, the high- way department decided to afford temporary relief to the road and yesterday a gang of men started work placing a paving along th side of the tracks to make it even with the road. This will help great- ly in the winter months when the road is covered by snow. Over 200 feet have been covered up until late this morning. Testing Coucrete During the past few days the state highway department has been at work testing the quality of the concrete in the New Britain-Berlin road which_was constructed a litt! over a year'ago. It is reported that the road has been showing sigrs of strain during the past several weeks and that stretches of the road have sagged. It is feared that should the highway be damaged by frost this winter, sections of it will become unsafe for heavy trucking and the continuous stream of auto- mobiles that pass over it daily. A chemical analysis of the ingre- dients contained in the road is be- ing made by the highway depart ment. A hole is bored into the ce- ment and the powder is examined to determine whether there is more sand than cement in the mixture. It is kfiown that a great quantity of sand greatly weakens the physical quality of the road. The highway department men re- fill the holes after completing their tests and thereby eliminate any pos- wbility of rain soaking into the foundation and undermining the highway. All precautions are being taken to assure the safety of the road. Bank Meeting The usual monthly meeting of the directors of the Berlin Savings bank was held yesterday afternoon at the “ank building.

Red Cross Results Although the eleventh annual Red Cross roll call is but one week old in Berlin, the people of the town are esponding with great enthusigsin, according to Rev. muel A.

A. has se- cured permission to play its home game preliminary to the high school games and is now lining up its play- ors for the coming year. Ray and Wesley Schwab, Ireddy Miller, Doug Martin, and Eddie Geetersloh of last year's quintet are expected back, while the team will be strengthened by the addition of Kenneth Frost, former center and captain of the New Britain State Trade school five. A 004 season is looked for. Plans for a semi-professional team here have fallen through, due to the realization that the expenses would be t0o heavy. A team tried to make a go of it last winter and failed, and it is not believed that Plainville would be able to support semi-pro basketball any better this year. Plans have therefore been dropped. Beefits Computed The town plan commission has completed and sent out notice of the benefits and damages connected with the improvement of Prentice stroet. A8 the change is restricted to grad- ing and surfacing, no damages were | found. Mclesko Case Continued Tnability of the state to produce one of its most important witnesses led to the postponement of the trial of Mrs. Anna Melesko of Kent street when it came up last night before Justice I'rederick Bullen. Mrs. Mel <0 was arrested last week for al- leged violation of the liquor laws. Through Attorney Cornelius Prior she entered a plea of not guilty, but proceedings were halted when Grand Juror Charles I. Conlon ask- ed for and obtained a continuation tor one week. Mrs. Melesko pleaded for the re- furn of a bankbook which she had fmrnished as g part of her bond. She | [ stated that she needed to buy food for her family granted her request.

It is the plan of the two boys to make the trip over the northern route and with that idea in mind they departed hoping to reach Bos. ton not later than last night. Irom there they will hitch-hike to Mon- treal, from which point they will strike ont for the Pacific coast if conditions permit. In the event it is deemed inadvisable on account of the lateness of the season to pursue the original route, they will retura to New York and travel over a southerly course which will insure better weather conditions. Their shelter at night will be in Salvation Army quarters if possible; it not, then at police headquarters along the way. Each was possessed of $25, which they confidently believed would carry them through. The present adventure, according to the two, is not their first.
