 A party of New York men inspected the Hartford Burial Case factory on the Pennington road yesterday. When asked by townsman if they were contemplating purchasing it one of the men said: Ut Is quite possible" He was reticent when further aues- tions were asked, other than saying his concern employed 125 hands. He refused to divulge. the nature of their line. He said at present the concern is located in New York city but finds the rental too high to carry on a profitable business. The citizens are we'll pleased to hear sl rumor that the factory will soon be running again.
 The building is at present owned by the Hartford Burial Case company which occupied it until two months ago. It Is an ideal location and is @ modern building in every respect.

The topic for discussion is "How We Can Forward the Methodist Movement in Our Church"
 Library Committee Perturbed. The members of the East Berlin association are very much agitated over the rumor that the Improvement society is considering selling or turn ing Athletic hall into a tenement house. When the latter organization procured the building, the Library as- l .sociation took a part or it for a read | ing room. There Is no other place available at present and the members feel the room will have to be given up entirely unless pressure is brought to bear so the Improvement society will keep the building
 That Bridge Again.
 The townspeople are not the only ! ones, who are dissatisfied with the progress of Turnpike bridge. Autoists, who have occasion to pass through this town going to or from Hartford. are very loud in their complaint of
 existing conditions at the bridge and
 the Meriden Journal of a recent issue has the following comment: 1 For four months autoists on
 their way to and from Hartford have | been compelled to make long detours
 because of the condition of the bridge
 between Berlin and the capitol city.
 That bridge ought to have been com
 pleted long ago for it was not such a
 d1fncult job and the highway ought
 to be opened as soon as possible 1 There have been rumors over dis putes between contractor and town
