P,1 P,14AINVu.LE NEWS TRAFFIC CONDITIONS COULD BE BATTERED Congestion at Center Is Cause of
 Considerable Comment REAL ESTATE MEN LEAVE
Wind and Rain Storm Damages Crops-PhcIps Goes to the Navy west Main Street Complaints Are Ucard-Bricf Items.

Traffic conditions have reached such It IS very probable the selectmen nay De asked by petition to take some steps to remedy the matter At the present time, residents say, it is doubtful if there is a more dangerous spot Ill the vicinity than the stretch from the corner of Whiting street and. central square to Maple street. Park Ing of cars is permitted in the section trolley cars stop there, children play Tn the street. and passing autoists seem to have no regard for speed laws. Some day a bad accident will occur which will probably wake I'D the officials to the exact conditions existing.
 Three years ago the town placed d silent traffic policeman in the center of the town with the warning words, Go to the right" painted on four sides That was all that was done just purchasing the sign and placing 1t in the street. Tn all that space of time the town has never adopted an ordinance which will back up the officers warning to go to the right or to punish persons disobeyng or dis regarding the matter. The local con- stable can stop persons for failure 10 obey traffic rules, but it is doubtful if he can get any results from prose- cutiOn, as the town has no written law regarding it's traffic or rules for such.
 The same condition exists in regard to the mo parking signs located in the center of the town Most of tho signs at the present time are unread able, as the paint has either been scratched or worn off. Such signs are placed at intervals about the center of the town, but it is difficult to esti- mate the number of persons disobev- ing them. At alm mOst any time of the day cars can be found parked on the east and west sides of Whiting street from the corner of Central sQua re down to the post office. Whiting street is not an exceptionally wide street and when the trolley car stops there also, the room left for moving traffic is not nearly sufficient. Time after time autoists are forced to wait

Embargo Ofi on New York
 Affords Little Relief
AUTO RUINS FIELD OF OATS
Local Grangers Attending State Time in Meriden-Mattabcss Gun Club Meets Tonight-Items From the 
 Three Sections.

The freight situation in Berlin is somewhat improved this morning due to the lifting of the embargo on New York and Brooklyn. The only con- cern in town that is shipping to New York is the American Paper Goods. The other concerns ship considerable material to intern ediate points in normal times so. that they do not benefit much with the present let up. Shipments can not be made to any point in this state and until the entire embargo is taken off not much ship ping will be done.
 One of the engines on the way freight from Cedar Hill came into the station this morning in a crippled condition but had to stay on duty None of the engines passing through here have been in a repair shop since the inception of the strike so that it is only a matter of time be- fore they will have to be side tracked for repairs. Even if the strike~should let up tomorrow condi- tions will be bad for at least a week asA it will take that long to get the engines back in condition for regular duty.
 Passenger traffic today was the lightcst it has been since the begin ming of the strike. It would seem that the travel would be heavy on the few trains that are running, but scarcely a dozen persons left here by train. Autom mobile traffic is extremely heavy however, indicating that people arc taking no chances with the service.
 NLattabcsset Gun Club to Meet.
 The Mattabesset Gun club will meet tonight to take action upon several important matters to come before the board. One thing that will be acted upon is the matter of ap- pretending the party or parties who stole the clay pigeons and lumber from the club range at the fair grounds. There was 500 feet of two inch pIanking and $500 clay pigeons stolen The shoot which was to have been held last Saturday had to be ca{ed off on this account, there being nothing to work with except the trap. It is probable that another shoot will be arranged in the near future as soon as the necessary paraphernalia can be secured.
 The clubs activities have been suspended since the beginning of the war and it is hoped to get back into active service before long.
