N. & w. BRANCH
Busiest Stretch of Single Track on the
 New Haven System.

It was said by a railroad man Mon day that the Norwich and Worcester branch of the New Haven system is the busiest stretch of single track line on the system, as far as the amount of freight hauled over it is concerned. The amount of business handled over it gives strength to the belief that it will not be many years before the road is double tracked. The passenger traf- fic over the line is not. heavy, though increased considerably by the electric cars running between Norwich and Central Village.
 Old Fire Engine Now at WilliamsviIIe.
 Members of the old Afinnetexit hand engine company learn that the ma chine with which they labored to fight against some of the worst fires in the history of Danielson is now stored in Willimantic. The machine is the property of Henry C. Atwood who purchased it from the borough when it was discarded here. MT. Atwood bought the machine at a reasonable price, but he got a bargain, for it is a very worthy agent for fighting fires to- day if needed; but it's chief value is as relic of the past, and MT. Atwood prizes it so highly that he would not sell it for several times the amount he paid for it.
