An amendment forbidding the use
of cereals or grain In the manufacture
of intoxicating liquor was adopted by
the senate also by close vote. This
leaves it almost certain that when
the bill comes up for final vote the

: If plans and specifications which were made at the special town meeting held last evening in the Town hall ma terialize, Berlin will have a new bridge this year over Hart's pond near the American Paper Goods company. Resolutions were drawn up at last nights session to comply with de- mands as set forth by State Highway Commissioner Bennett. They are as follows:
 Resolved: That the sum of $s,0 900 be and the same is hereby appropri- ated for the building, construction and erection of a twenty-one foot steel Bridge with concrete roadway and floor across Hart's pond near the American Paper Goods company in the town of Berlin and for any and all necessary abutments, and that the selectmen of the town of Berlin are thereby authorized and empowered to enter into any and all contracts for said work and to spend said sum of I$s,ooo or so much thereof as may be necessary"
 "Resolved: That the town select men of the town of Berlin be author dzed to borrow said sum of $S,000 in the name of the said town of Berlin and to execute and sign any orders of notes that may be necessary for the Building of the bridge at the Ameri- san Paper Goods company.
 "Resolved: That a tax of four mills upon the dollar be and the same is hereby laid upon the taxable property in the town of Berlin on the list of 1916, the same to be due and payable to the said town of Berlin on the first Monday in December, 1917 and that the compensation of the collector be one and one-half mi1l.'
 Bids on the work will probably be received in 8 few days from different contractors and contracts will, in all proba bility, be awarded shortly. Be- cause of the disadvantages offered by the detours and the heavy traffic at this point, authorities will take all pains to expedite construction.
 According to a report made last Avening the selectmen can apply to the highway department for state aid. A share of the money appropriated each year to the town by the state to keep the roads in the vicinity in good con- Aition can be used to help pay the cost oR the erection of the new structure.
 Because of the scarcity of labor at this time it is expected that the se- 1ectmen will experience some trouble in awarding the contracts at a reason able figure. However, since the traffic has been discontinued over Hart's pond since the latter part of June which is nearly two months, citizens express the hope that the officials will double their efforts and have the road

 Engine Runs on Track.
 While running along at fairly good clip, according to reports, en- zine No. 31O3 ran off the derail on a siding this morning at s:30. Al though only one wheel remained on the tracks the engine retained its up- right position. A switch opposite where the engine derailed was com- pletely torn up and demolished and the rails for a distance of about fifty feet were torn from the ties. No one was injured to any great extent, the engineer and the fireman receiving a slight shaking up.
 Engine No 31O3, which is the largest on the road at the present time, being sixty feet long, backed into the yard leaving the switch on the siding open so that it would not necessitate changing on their return trip. Before they pulled out however, two trains bound for Meriden had preceded them and closed the switch. Supposing that the switch was as they had left 1t a stop was not made to determine it's true condition with the aforem mentioned result.
 The wrecking crew from East Hartford arrived at 10 o'clock and began work at once. The engine will be able to leave the siding by even- ing.
 Going to Have Corn on the Cob.
 Since corn and potatoes in the neighborhood reached and edible size the officials have had many com plaints regarding thefts at night from owners of gardens in the town. At several farms night watchmen have been employed to watch for the ma- rauders. It is the concensus of op1n- ion that local hoboes who eke out their living in this manner are the offenders. Whoever the guilty ones are they will probably be severely dealt with if they are caught and brought for trial before Prosecutor Gibney and Judge Griswold. Trolley Eeaves Track. Because of the muddy and slippery conditions of the rails in under the railroad bridge this morning one of the Connecticut company trolley cars ran off the track this morning. As | the car was going slow at the time it only went few feet after its derail- | ment and no one was injured. The l wrecking crew from New Britain was called and everything whipped into shape in short time.
