 Prospects Not Encouraging.
 There is much talk about the new trolley line to East Berlin but no ac- ticn. The town is very much in favor of new line as it would build ID East Berlin to it's former standing. If the trolley road is to be built the mat ter should be decided at once before the new road is constructed as the trolley roadbed could be laid in con- junction with the new road. Caesars hill is to be cut down. The residents of East Berlin want the trolley and will work hard to get it if the town will back them. They also want gas extended to the community.
