WOULD OPEN BERKSHIRE TO
 NAVIGATION
Property Owners Petition Government for Draw
 bridge and Harbor Lines
REFUSED; WILL SEEK HILL

In a determined effort to have Berk- shire pond opened for navigation and to have the Berkshire bridge removed and replaced by a draw bridge, about 30 of the property owners whose land abuts the Berkshire pond, headed by Max Schwartz of 3s0 River street, have petitioned the War Department to have the pond opened up, harbor lines es- tablished. and the dumping of refuse into the stream restricted.
 An answer has been received from Washington to the effect that the War Department does not establish lines or dredge above what is distinguished as the head of navigation, unless traffic demands it.
 The bridge putt over the head of the Pequonnock river and known as the Berkshire Mills bridge, was in the opinion of Major Taylor, the represen- tative of the War Department in this section. in violation of the federal reg ulations and on this point the property owners are going to interest Congress man Hill to act in their behalf at Washington.
 As the pond is now. there Is over a ten feet of water and by the nature of the bottom dredging could be car ried on with little difficulty. The ul- timate dredging of the pond would not only De a 'Dene1lt, they Del1eVe, to tnelr land interests but to the health of the community in their neighborhood.
 The same body of men also desire to have the Berkshire Mills Company lower the height of the dam which they built across the mouth of the pond. Before the flood, which broke the dam at Beardsley's Park and wash ed away the dam of the Berkshire Mills Company. small vessels could get into the pond with little difficulty. but now the passage is limited to the small est of rowboats.
 A century ago 100 ton vessels were built on the shores of the Berkshire pond and several shipbuiIders had plants near North avenue.
