Contemplated Suing Berlin.

Suitable awards will be given
 Contemplated Suing Berlin. - Aaron G. Cohen, New Britain au- tomobile agent, has been contemplat- ing suing the town of Berlin. In a conversation this morning Cohen ad- mitted that he has given the matter consideration and that he has already consulted his lawyer, Judge B. F. Gaffney.
 While passing underneath the rail- road bridge on Pennington road on Wednesday afternoon his machine became stalled. Because of the heavy rainfall the water had reached such a depth that it entirely covered his radiator. Cohen was further subject ed to inconvenience, and embarrass- ment when he had to get out of his machine and try to crank it. The water reached up to his hips The engine would not respond and it was necessary for him to secure a rope and aided by one of George H. tBald- wins horses the car was hauled from underneath the bridge. ..s-...
 Still the engine would not work Cohen had to take it apart and dry the parts After considerable diff culty he was again able to proceed. But Cohen's troubles had just com menced. When he reached Meriden his engine went dead. Time and en- ergy were wasted on trying to start the machine as it would not work and according to Cohen, it will not work today and he is unable to discover the trouble.
 The results of wading in the icy water, he said, also had it's effect. He had been confined to his bed ever since with 8 severe cold.
