Two reflectors were placed at Upson's corner Saturday by the state highway department upon an order of Commissioner John MacDonald. The corner has been the scene of many accidents since the construc- tion of the new highway and there has been constant agitation by school authorities and residents of Ken- sington for the installation of the igns. Asked by a prominent official of the town some time ago to make an inspection of the conditions at the corner, Commissioner MacDonald stated after a survey of the curve that it was without a flaw and ac- cidents could only be prevented by enforcing the motor vehicle laws more strictly. The new reflectors stand in a prominent position on the side of the highway. The purpose of them is to warn the autoists of the curve and thus prevent speeding at this point. Arrest By Brown Harry Anderson was arrested at an eatly hour yesterday morning by Constable Frank Brown and lodged in the New Britain police station on a charge of drunken driving. The officer was forced to chase Ander- son from Berlin to Hartford before catching him. It is alleged that An- derson refused to stop on a signal from the officer. According to reports. Andersen was driving north on the Berlin turnpike when Constable Brown sus- pected the driver of being drunk. He blew his whistle and the accused failed to stop, whercupon the chase began. As both neared Hartford Anderson suddenly turned from the turnpike and sped over a side strevt where he stopped his car and raced toward a chump of bushes. Con- stable Brown proved to be the more fleet of the two and overtook Andef- ron. The officer took Anderson to the New Britain station where he was locked up. His case will come up for disposal in the Berlin town court on Tuesday evening.
