further extension of two years. in
which to construct it's tunnel from
Thirty-fourth Street and Sixth Ave

fact that it's bonds are quoted at 55,
whereas they must be sold at 80 or

RUNAWAY FREIGHT ON
 ROAD MENACES TRAIN
Wreck of Boston Express Prevented By Quick
 Wit of Brakemen.

Passengers on the Boston express due in Berlin at noon today did not realize how near they were to a. possibly fatal wreck when way freight became separated, unknown freight cars to roll out of.:::: mot to the engineer. permitting seven freight cars to roll out of range of the block system onto the main line tracks in the path of the approach ing express. It was not until the freight had rounded the first turn toward Hartford that the brakemen noticed that there were a number of cars missing. Signalling the engineer the train was brought to quick stop. Realizing the necessity of inn mediate action the engineer un- coupled from the train and returned at full speed towards Meriden realiz- ing that it was impossible for the block system or a fiagman to stop the onrushing express.
 The Meriden officials were i'm mediately notified to proceed towards Berlin, in the event of a possible ac- cident The missing cars were locat- ed more than mile below Berlin depot, considerable distance be- yond the old stone bridge where a. slight rise in the roadbed had brought them to a halt During the process or coupling the cars the whistle of the express was heard. A f1agman was left behind while the freight proceeded at full speed for the block. The block was made none to soon, as the express came un lesa than . minute behind.
 Several theories as to how the cars could have become separated have been advanced. One considered most probable was that a tramp riding the rods uncoupled the rear cars so that he could get off. Another was that a coupling pin might have broken. The block was made none too soon. their quick action in avoiding what might have been a bad crash.

There was considera ble discussion before the bills were finally approved by the mayors welcome home committee. Since it's erection it has never been. repaired nor repaint- ed, and in the opinion of some of the ex-soldiers is rapidly becoming an eye sore in the center of the city.
