possible candidates mentioned and |
 is expected that Mir. Lewis will agair
 have clear field at the polls in Oc
 tober. The republican caucus for the
 nomination of town officers will bs
 held on Friday evening, Septembel
 s, which is only two weeks away and that time there will be no stones in the path of MT. Lewis.
 With the statement made by Mir; Lewis this morning there are now two candidates before the public aspiring to reelection to office.' the other be- ing George Carter, the present first selectman. It is not thought that Mir Carter will meet with opposition. and with the exception of a few minor changes, republicans believe that the same administration will rule again for the 1922 and 1923 season. Would Have Traffic Post. Because of the many accidents which have narrowly been averted at the Boston, Post corner on the Der lin turnpike near the Blake and Woodruff store many of the residents of Berlin as well as some town of fcials believe that there should be some form of permanent traffic post put in place at this spot.
 On Sunday afternoon and evening when traffic is particularly heavy on the main turnpike the officer who has been stationed to do duty at the Boston Post corners has often times had narrow escapes from being hit by passing machines. This is claimed to be more true at night time when there is little light.
 It is the belief of both Selectman Carter and Town Clerk Woodruff that some sort of traffic post should be installed. These men with ether town officials have been consid- ering for some time possible type os a warning post which should be used. It is felt that if the usual pole is put in place such as can be seen at the intersection of many streets in New Britain, that they are easily knocked down by autos and the corner would again be without a post.
 The local men have received infor- nation dealing with a new type of traffc post or guide which stands but five and one half inches above the pavement. has a base 23 inches in di- ameter and ten ruby lenses that are three and one half inches in diam eter. The lenses are red and an cleo tric light which is installed in the base of the guide acts as warning to passing motorists to keep to the right
 The guide has removable hand hole cover, is clear of bolts and pro- jections and to be installed can be ifnbedded in the concrete pavement It Is cast of tough gray iron and weighs about 145 pounds. It has been assert ed that the guide could be easily con nected with the local street lighting system and the cost of maintenance would not be great.
 Automobiles can run over the guide without the car being damaged or smashing the guide, it is claimed by the makers. It is lighted at night by two so watt bulbs through the 10 lenses and gives a fire-like circular glow The guide, when installed is meant to attract the attention of the travelling public and divides traffic in- to two channels, thus preventing con fusion.
 It is felt by many that an appropri- ation to pay for the installation of a guide or post should be asked for in the budget for the coming year. If fI this is to be done, it would be neces- i, sary to ask for such before the hear ing of the finance board in Septem- Der.
 Would Have White Line.
 It has also been suggested that a white line be painted on the pavement | around the corner from Pennington road to Berlin street so that traffic ' could be guided to the right
