 Ih1fA m no s1itfles comment about Se stt0ets ol tts towp iaAt niSht when sE1f bscams known that q rspresenta- tas4 of . powder company vas looking EDyer the land in tho town with an warehouse somewhere within the |sposed to having anything Of the sort |located In the town, while others Hooked at the matter in . different lieht. 1t is thought that the plan would be looked upon with favor if kehe building or buildings were located in such a locality that there would be no danger to the residential section. Al yet no one in the town has been approached on the subject of locating such a plant in Berlin and it Is not known whether the man looking over the ground was satisfied with the layout of the land.
 A new location, which would be more or less away from the residential section. was talked of today by several of the townspeople and appeared to meet with favor. The plot talked Of is in Beckley Quarter somewhere near the Mattabessett river and also close to the branch line of the New Haven road which runs between Berlin and Middletown. As there are nnN houses close to the river ana the material could be shipped by the raai- road without the added danger of having it drawn through the streets Of the town there is strong possibility that if the agent were to get into com munfcation with the owners or the property he might be able to do pusi- ness.
 Repairing Turntable.
 For the past two days the New Ha- ven road has had gang of men at work. on the old turntable which IS located east of the station. The table has been out of commission for some time past and when a call came to turn a locomotive around it could not be done and the train crew had to wait until the next station was reached. There are may times that a down train has a defective engine which could be eent back on a lighter up train but owing to the table be- ine out of order this could not be done. A new bed for the rails has heen built and the machinery fixed until everything Is again in first class repair. When steam was used on the branch between Berlin and Mid dletown the table was used a great deal but with the coming of the troll ! lev 1t has not been used.
