New Britain herald., 1915-12-15

and cars were run to New Britain on a half hour schedule, only, one track being used. The line terminated near the corner of Crown and East Main streets, the company making no eff fort to cut through the drifts to the center. The Southington divi- sion remained buried under a blanket of snow and nothing was done to re- lease the car stalled near the A. M. E Zion church during the height of the storm Monday.
 "Jitney'' sleighs were put in service between Southington and Plainville to accommodate people in the neigh boring borough who wanted to catch Hartford bound trains here.
 Selectman Johnson had a number of men at work removing huge piles of snow from the streets in the center The snow was dumped into the Pe- quabuck river. Most of the streets are now open to travel although milkmen are experiencing difficulty in getting over the country roads
 Churches To Cooperate.
 Cooperation in the efforts to bring Plainville we'll up in the list of small contributors to Connecticut's fund for the Belgians has been promised the selectmen by the pastors of the various churches and at some of the services next Sunday collections will be taken up for that purpose. The selectmen have already received some donations which have been for warded to the Belgium relief com mittee at Hartford and additional contributions will probably be for warded before Connecticut's ship sails for the stricken country next week.
 The selectmen are pleased with the response made to the appeal and they expect that Plainville will have no 1 apologies to make for itself when the | list of contributions is made public.
