 Passengers Ride in Truck.
 The passengers on many of the morning trolleys. from kensington to Berlin street, had a unique experience today inasmuch as they were obliged to continue their Journey from the Lincoln bridge to the street or start their journey from the street to the bridge in a truck which is owned by the Earl Curtis construction company of Bristol
 The men for the construction com pany started work early this morning on excavating ditch on the south of the bridge and in digging between the tracks and the fence came to telegraph pole which is about half way between the two points and al- most in the direct path of the ditch. AS a result the men dug around the | pole and it was necessary to brace it with large wooden beams many of these extending out over the trolley tracks thus tying up traffic. Rather than inconvenience the passengers, Mir. Curtis said that they should ride in his truck to their points of destn- ation along Berlin street and ordered the driver to pick up any passengers waiting for the trolley to take them to Kensineton or New Britain.
 It proved interesting to passersby to watch the women stand on an inn provised step made from a box to get into the rear of the truck where it was necessary for them to ride as there was only room for one passen- l ger to sit with the driver.
