SWIMMING POOL ID
 BE RECONSTRUCTED Mayor and Park Board Have
 Plans for One Of States Best SAFETY IS GUARANTEED
Present Deep Channels VIII be Done Away With and Depth Marked lighthouses and Showers Planned For Next Season.

Cooperating with Mayor Angelo M Paonessa in his move to give New Britain a municipal swimming pool second to none in the state, the board of park commissioners has made plans for an elaborate pool at the north end park, and will shortly begin the work ing out of these plans.
 Safety Is Considered
 One Of the first subjects considered In drafting plans was safety Un- fortunately, there was a drowning at the municipal pool this season, due to the fact that the pond used is very deep In places and those not familiar with the location of these channels were constantly Tn danger.
 It is planned to drain of the pond when the hot season is over, and re- construct the bottom of the entire pool, which, under the new plans, will be considerably larger than at pres ent. The deeper places will be filled in and the pool so laid out that bath CTS will be in a position to know the depth in every part Of the pond. Sev- eral thousand yards of white sand will then be brought to the pool to pro- vide a good sandy bottom
 Plans For Sanitation
 As move for sanitation and to guarantee daily circulation of the water, the present brook will be di- verted It now enters at the extreme southwest section of the pond and crosses almost directly, flowing out under Gaffney's bridge. The park commission will change the course SC that the inlet win be ar.the north end with the water flowing the entire length of the pool to it's outlet.
 Permanent bath houses. replacing g the tents now used for that purpose are also included in the plans of the Two sections, one for use by male bathers and the other for women will be constructed with ac- commodations for several hundreds Several shower baths will be installed the pool one of the most up to- date in New England.
 Will Extend Pool
 The enlarged pool will extend on the north almost as far as the road. way. The bath houses and shower baths will be on the east bank.
 During the winter months 1t is planned to utilize the pond as muni- cipal skating rink and provision will be made in the commissions plans therefor

Also Second Effort to Derail Train Is Told by Brick yard Employes-Authori- ties Investigating.

What Is believed to have been an attempt to wreck freight train as il was pulling Into sidiAg near the Berlin depot to allow q northbound express train to pass was discovered last night about l1:3o o'clock. when the freight engine ran into pile of railroad ties, believed to have been purposely laid across the track. Be- cause the engine was going slow, the ties were knocked out of their place with no damage being done.
 Report Second Attempt.
 It lis also claimed by employees of the Stiles and Reynolds Brick Co.,, near, where the incident occurred, that after the express had passed and the freight started to back out to again start on its way to the main tracks, another bunch of railroad ties was found lying directly across the rails In the path of the train. These were removed and the train allowed to go on its way.
 Authorities Investigate
 Prosecutor C. F. Lewis of Berlin was called upon the telephone by the rail- road men and statetd this morning that he received the call about mid night He detailed Berlin officers to the scene of the alleged attempted wreck and the men were on duty until 6 o'clock this morning MT. Lewis said today that the affair is being in- vestigated by the authorities. It was also learned today that detective. in the employ of the New Haven rail-
 t~ make an investigation.
 Warning From Rardo.
 It appears to be a coincidence worthy of note that an attempt should be made last evening to wreck the .sair az First Selectman Carter Of Berlin had on the night previous re- ceived a, telegram from c. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co.,, asking for the cooperation of the town officials and authorities in pro- tecting the public in territory where lines of the New Haven road were operated.
 The telegram called the attention of the selectman to the fact that 1t had been reported that individuals had planned to stone trains while they were passing through Connecticut towns and to do other deeds which would in the end prove disastrous to the public.
 MT. Carter immediately got in touch with Prosecutor Lewis and tn- formed him that the constables were to be warned to be on the lookout for suspicious individuals found lettering around railroad property and If any disturbances were made that an ar rest should follow.
