 Bremen Had Hard Task
 Unable to subdue the flames iu the Richards plant, the ffremen put forth all their efforts to preyent-tf1e fire from. spreading With the wind blow ing . gale and the thermometer only six degrees above zero, the task was hard one. Despite their efforts a trestle on the Central New England railroad was burned and trains on the road are being delayed. The roofs of the Winsted Gilt Edge Tool company and the City hall caught fire. but it was not allowed to spread. Snow on the roofs of a ma jority1 of the sur rounding buildings prevented flying sparks from setting other fires.
