Removing Storm Traces State highway men were at work this morning under the railroad bridge at Berlin clearing the snow jaway. One side of the road was blocked at that point to enable the men to perform their duties more efficiently. The snowstorm of Sat- urday came with little warning and caused considerable inconvenicnce to bus and train traffic. Many homes gave the appearance of having for- mal dinners in progress, due to the use of candles presscd into service when the electric power lines failed to function properly. The town was enveloped in darkness tor about ha'f |an hour, with the exception of a fow street lights not affected by the breakdown, Automobile traffic found ittee | There Citizens' ning at Zlin the | opinion concerning Plainville News PROPOSED HIGHWAY EETS OPPOSITION Business Men to Meet This Eve- ning On Qnestion BABSON CASE CONTINUED Regular Grange Mecting Tomorrow Evening—Linden Street School Building Committee to Confer on Plans—Basketball Game, The announcement in Friday's issue of the “Herald” that a hearing would be held tomorrow afternoon in the state capitol on the proposed new state highway between Blos som’s Corner and Hart's corner has started considerable furore among the business men whose establish- ments are located at Central square or in the nearby locality. Sentiment against the proposition has been voiced by the business men ever since the question was first brought up, and announcement concerning the hearing has stirred up the store- keepers to the point where they have definitely decided to act on the mater. According to reports, practically all the merchants in the center of | the town are against the erection of a new highway because they figure that it would hurt their business to a great extent. A majority of the merchants clum that the outside trade from autoists traveling through town is nearly as large as the local trade. The new highway, it is claimed, would cut their businuss almost in half. A canvass was made over the week-end among the business men in order 1o get the consensus of the new high- way. On account of the objection offered by most of the merchants, plans hav heen completed to hold a meeting this cvening at which the merchants will discuss the matter and come to some definite conclu- sion. It is capected that over 50 Mumbers of the Alpha club will meet with Mrs. Kenneth KRelyea of Worthington ridge tomorrow after- noon at her home, Mrs, Charles Hawkins of Midd town road entertained at a and luncheon last Wedne ernoon.

Storm Hampers Service The blinding snow storm that struck the entire state Saturday afternon and evening hampered the passage of westhound trains in Plainvilie. The trains were temporarily blocked when wires, ! heavily laden with ice and snow. | dragged telephone poles down across | the railroad tracks between Plain- | ville and Forestville. It was neces- | sary to switch the trains over to the castbound track in Plainville and in | most cases they were at least half an hour late running into Bristol. According to the estimates by the officials of the train crews, nearly 35 poles toppled acrom the tracks in a tangle of wires and cross pleces A crew of men were stationed near the fallen poles and work of clearing | away the debris to free the rails was started early 8aturday evening. Re- pair and replacement work was started yesterday. Autoists experienced all sorts of | wild times while driving in the storm | but no serious accidents were report- ed to the police. One woman driver skidded on East Main street near Blossom's corner and crashed into a tree. It was necessary to saw away part of the tree in order to free the car which was imbedded in it. Cars traveling between Plainville and New Britain reported that it was practically impossible to keep on the road and in many cases drivers stated that they had continu- ally skidded into fences.
