SECOND FLOOR\ Berlin News BIG BRICK ORDER FOR HALL'S YARD Wil Furnish 2,500,000 for State Building in Hartford WORK FOR TWO MONTHS New Haven Man Crashes Into Rear of Connecticut Company Bus In Front of Town Hall—Road Gangs Working. F. M. Hall of New Britain, pro- prietor of the F. M. Hall Brick Co. on the Berlin-Hartford turnpike, to- day confirmed reports that he had received an order for 2,500,000 bricks to be used in the construction of the office building being erected by the state of Connecticut on Capi- tol avenue in Hartford. The order will provide work for the company's employes, numbering about 42 men, for a period of two months. Mr. Hall said that it woull not be necessary to enlarge his working force. Construction of the building is in the hands of the J. Henry Miller Corp. of Baltimore, Md. This makes the second large or- der received by Berlin yards on fed- eral and state buildings, the Rey- nolds yard having received the con tract for furnishing brick for the U. S. War Veterans’ hospital in Newington. Auto Mishap A wet pavement caused by a heavy mist, which started to fall about 9 o'clock this morning, result- ed in an accident when a sedan driven by Robert Loerewoa of 1708 Howard avenue, New Haven, skid- ded along the road and crashed into the rear end of a Connecticut com- pany bus that had stopped to pick up a passenger directly in front of the Town hall. The bus was being driven by John Lynch of 72 Black Rock av- cnue, New Britain and was pro- ceeding from Meriden when it halted t the bus stop to allow a woman | passenger to get on. The first in- timation to the bus driver or pas- sengers that anything was wrong was when they heard the crash as the front of the sedan and the bus came together. Several women passengers were frightened for the moment. After the New Haven man's car struck the bus it careened over to the left hand side of the road on account of the sliopery condition of the road but was finally brought to a stop with- out further damage. There was no damage done to the bus but the lighter vehicle suffered a smashed front fender on the left side and o dented left rear fender. Another Accident Hardly had the above two drivers gotten out of the way when two other cars came together at a point elightly north of the location of the first accident. Neither of the driv- ers implicated gave their names. The accident evently happened as the result of the wet condition of the pavement which made it impos- sible to make a sudden stop One of the drivers was going in a northerly direction while the other was attempting to make a turn into Middletown road while going south. efore he had cleared the intersec tion however, the two had come to- gether in a head-on collision which did no damage whatsoever to eithey car or its occupants. A large crowd gathered early at the scene and were treated to quite | is gaining considerable | Tab's hall for | attend in the hope that plans for | on the matter | he would most cert i |in the league if it was formed. | \ [ | a little horseplay when both drivers | attempted to prove that he was not at fault. They finally decided that in view of the fact that no damage was done the argument waa futile | and without any further harangue | got into their respective cars and | proceeded on their way leaving the | crowd to guess which was wrong and which was right. | After a few minutes' discussion of the matter those assembled de- cided that it did not make any dif- ference to them and the rcad was finally cleared and the atmosphere | was again sereme and peaceful in the district. Rumored Road Repairs A gang of men from the state highway department are again at work staking off the side of the road along Worthington ridge. This action it is understood is in accord- ance with a plan to widen this scc- tion of road to a width of 66 fect. Such a plan would mean the | elimination of many of the stateiy and ancient trees that adorn this | passage and it is believed that such | a course 18 quite likely to arouse the | ire of many of the street's residents. | It is rumored that one of the resi- | dents has refused to allow the work- | men to drive any stakes on_his property and that he is contemplat- | ing court action to prevent the con- tinuance of the work. Card Enthuiasts to Meet | The proposed card players league backing a cording to the latest reports from those who have been charged with its inception and arrangements have reached the stage where definite plans are likely to be made at any time. A meeting has been called at the next Tuesday night | and all persons who can guarantee a | team of 12 players are requested {o | schedule that will continue through- out the winter may be drawn up. | John Conlin has bheen approached | and has stated that | ainly have a team | Large Grape Harvest Farmers in this vicinity report | that a larger grape harvest than last year is expected. The quality of the grape is also somewhat superior to that of last year's product according | to most of the growers. | Many of the grape growers have | already picked their vines and others will have done so within the next few days. They report a ready mar- ket for the product and the price is likely to be about on a par With that of last year. Funeral of Mrs. Haigis The funcral of Mrs. Huga Haigis, Kensington resident, who died at her home Monday morning, was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at Erwin| Memorial chapel. Rev. Theodore A. Greene, pastor of the First Congre- gational church of New Britain, of- ficiated and burial was in Fairview cemetery in New Britain.
