HEAVILY LADEN ICE
 WAGON TIES UP RUSH
 OF MONDAY TRAFFIC

Laden with more than two tons of ice, a wagon of the Naugatuck Val ley Ice Go. dropped into a depression at Main and Congress streets where trolley and street changes are in pro- gress, and held up the rush of traf- fic just before 1 o'clock for more than half an hour.
 Several ropes hooked to the truck and fastened to trolley cars, parted when the trolley men tried to haul the ice wagon out by electric power. Finally the ice was unloaded and the truck was then extricated without much difficulty and reloaded when the long lines of cars that had gathered at all four corners had gone by.
