Berlin News START REPAIRS 0N BENNINGTON ROAD Teams Will Be on the Job After
 Having Season TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY
F. s. McMahon Complies With Dr. Griswo1d's Order and Hog Enclosure Incident is Closed--Alfalfa and Hogs-Baseball Re1gns-Briefs.

The town teams will finish having by tomorrow evening and starting Monday morning they will be put to work repairing the Pennington Road, said First Selectman William H. Gib ney this morning. The town has Been considerably handicapped this year, 7 because of the shortage of labor. Much work was mapped out the past winter for the summer months, but the heavy spring rains and the ab- normal demand for help, has neces sarily held some up. The state high way department, which was to start work on the Beech Swamp road the first of the spring was hampered by the same conditions. But this work has now been finished and local mo- torists are loud in their praise of the fine job done. The men are now filling in small holes, which have ap- peared on Main street Kensington and this work will probably be fin ished within the next week. That thoroughfare is a town road built with state aid and consequently comes un- der the jurisdiction of the state highway department. After the fill Ing in process tar will be applied for B binder and the road will assume ltA former billiard table like appearance.
 Probably no road in this part of the state, handles more traffic than the Pennington road. From early morn ing until late at night, constant gtream of automobiles and teams pass over 1t. When the thorOughfare was completed two years ago, it was con- sidered one of the best stretches of macadam in these parts and it lived up to its reputation. But now seV- eral holes have appeared. They will be filled in and a coat of oil applied and the road will be made an exact replica of it's appearance two years ago, when first completed.

Dr. Griswold visited the farm this morn ing and reported that the fence had been built as desired and the incident is now a closed matter.

 King Baseball Reigns.
 Many of the local brickyards are employing a number of negroes, who recently came from Virginia. They have worked steady for the past two men in the different yards were ap- preached by the laborers, all of whom had tale of sickness in some form, and a request to have the remainder granted in all cases and the men ap- parently went to bed. Late in the aft ernoon, one of the foremen decided to inquire after the health of the sick men and went to their shanties. To his surprise, all were empty He waited around until seven o'clock and finally saw his men creeping stealth fly over the fields toward their places of abode.
 After much questioning he was in formed that several boys from ouah own country live in Meriden and challenged us to a, game of ball, so we went down there to show them how the game should be played" It was impossible to determine which side won the gome, for none of the local men could agree, but 1t is safe to say that sickness will be investigated the next time there seems to be an epidemic.
