line have been running on good time although they have been anywhere from ten minutes to one-half hour late. On New Britain branch they have, been on time but 1t was necessary to replace the electric trolley on the Middletown branch by a steam train. Late yesterday afternoon it was found difficult for the trolleys to run on this line because of the heavy piling up of the snow on the tracks and the lack of force of the cars to remove 1t.
 Trolley Derailcd.
 The trolley service offered by the Connecticut company from Berlin to New Britain ended about Il o'clock yesterday morning The snow blow was sent to Berlin by the Connecti- cut company yesterday morning to clear the tracks of snow and succeed ed in getting as far as the ISilby House when it went off the tracks.
 Following the snow blow was the regular car which was able to come as far as Upson's corner when it also left the tracks. The car swerved to the left and shot across the road, stopping all traffic. if there was any. With the two cars off the tracks at the same time. and one so far off, it was necessary to send word to the office in New Britain. Later the wreCking car came upon the scene and succeeded in placing both cars on tho tracks. The three then left for New Britain and there have been none down here since.
 Work was started on the New Brit ain end of the line today and the troll leys might be running to Kensington by tomorrow but 1t is doubted as to whether or not they will be able to reach Berlin street within the next few days. During past severe storms Berlin proper has been without trol- ley service for several days following tho storms but this has been due to the low lands which the trolleys trav- el over and the heavy drifts, but a

TOWN TIED UP BY
 HEAVY SNOW STORM Gets Share of Blizzard Work
 Starts on Cleaning Streets TROLLEY LINES NOW OPEN
Many Organize Baseball League Here Stores to Close Tomorrow -F'Orestville News.

Plainville received it's share of the
 heavy snow storm of yesterday, and today the streets were tied up With
 banks and large drifts. Traffic by vehicles was almost impossible. Sever al automobiles. were stalled on West Main street and Central Square, and
 had a hard time getting out. Select man William Johnson was out With
 crew of men early in the morning Tn
 an attempt to clear the streets about
 the center. The town snow blows were
 put into use and Broad street was
 soon open. Ii was impossible to use the blow of Hough street, as the
 drifts were so high there, the horse
 could not enter. Men were put to
 work shovelling it away. The town
 hall was filled with men applying for
 work and many were hired. The work
 of moving the snow will be a great
 expense to the town, officials say.
 The switch engine was stalled near
 the West Main street crossing and
 had to have the rails cleared before
 it could pass. It attempted to clear
 the tracks west of the crossing and
 apparently became stuck. Fortunately
 the telephone service was not affected
 in any way nor were there any lines crippled. Trolleys ran on a fair
  when it was resumed as betore. The trolley tracks to Southington were open and cars were running on it's usual schedule. The Connecticut com pany snow blow was used the greater part ofathe day and usually preceded an outgoing car in order to clear the tracks.
 The storm of yesterday was one of
 severest the town has seen in some time. School was closed on ac- count of the impossibiliy of walking, for the children.
 To Organize League Here
 The Plainville Athletic club have plans for organizing a baseball 'eG que here. The league will be com posed of four teams. They plan to
 have Unionville, Collinsville, Southing- ton and Plainville entered. A m ct ing was called for yesterday after noon but the snow storm prevented it from being held. It vas postponed until Friday night of this week. They will meet at the same place The local baseball team has been play ing ball for some years now and have a good record behind them. The fans in town feel that with the forming of County League, more interest will be taken in the. games. with a result that the support will be better. Last year they played some strong teams and defeated the fas1 Bristol Brass players who were supposed to hold the lead in factory games. The SouthinEton players are much in favor of forming a league when approached on the subject. The other teams have not been consulted as yet. but it is believed they will approve of it. At the meeting Friday night. manager and captain will be elected.
