the city would be cut down to less than 10 minutes. An argument ad- NanCed this morning against jitney service was that as soon as the heavy snow storms of the winter set in tho jtneys would have to stop and the people revert to the trolley service. Others say that if the tOwnspcople pat ronize the jitney service altogether tho Connecticut company will curtail the service 10 Berlin if not cut it out all together. leaving the town depcnd- ent altogether upon the jitneys. The popular opinion in the minds of most of the local residents is to accept the new terms of the trolley company rather than lose the service.
 Could Not Locate Truck
 Several trucks from Hartford were around town last evening looking for a disabled army truck the driver of which had telcDhoned to Hartford for immediate help, stating that he was this side of the Mcriden line. The Hartford men were much annoyed as the truck driver or the army truck could not be located. They were of the opinion that they were the butt of a joke, someone thinking it smart to get the Hartford reparmen down 'arDaEc Collections.
 The colnmuntN 0, Cast HGrlin have started q movement ;ImonE them selves to get a. garbage collection serv- ice. There is no such service any Wlere> in the town of Berlin and East Berlin Is going to start something of this kind to remedy the evils that be- set a small town of it's size The plan
 is to have some one who owns a dump n tjp, the garbage about town, which will be placed in barrels and set out on the street the same as is done in the largo cities.
 IL Is thought that there would be fully 50 in the town who would want l the service and would pay 75 cents or a dollar month for the scrvicc mak- ! ing II a profitable thing for the l party doing the work. It would mean l one day a week with return of $1O l for the days work. The plan is a
 good enc and there is little doubt but l What il will mat erialize At the pres
 ent time everything Is dumped in the l lack yards and such a condition nat 1 urnliy does not add to the beauty Of
 the grounds about the house.
