Taylor, in a statement made today said that no complaint had been made to him, otherwise he would have taken up the matter and looked into the conditions at the farm. There was some complaint about town yesterday because Mr. Taylor had nothing to do with the McMahon case.
 Waiting Station Soon
 It was with a great deal of pleasure that the residents of Berlin who travel on the New Haven road read in the New Britain Herald last evening that plans are being considered for a waiting station at the Berlin depot. President George M. Landers of the Chamber of Commerce has received word from General Manager Bardo assuring him that the plans are being considered. There has been much agitation for something of this sort at the station for some time past but nothing but promises were forthcom ing from the railroad. It was not until the New Britain common council and the Chamber of Commerce took the matter up that any satisfactory agreement was reached. How long it will be before the station is erected is not known but hopes are held out that something will be done before real winter sets in. Anyone who has at one time or another had to stand on the platform in the rain or snow will understand the need of this pro- lection.
