the town of Berlin will soon have a new street, to be known as Cottage Place.
 The full particulars of the new street are described in map which | has been filed for record at the of- flee of the town clerk. The street which will be 50 feet wide and about $50 feet in length, will be built on the Hallock property close to the land owned by George Meisner. It will intersect on Berlin street but will be a so-called pocket road" as there will be no intersection at the west end of the street.
 It Is also the plan of Mir. Hallock to have many building lots in the rear of his present property. It is thought that with the water coming to Berlin this fall there will be a building boom in this town within the next few years and at present suitable sites are hard to find on which to build, land owners say.
 Mir. Hallock was asked this morn ing when he thought the work would be started on building the new road but he said he had not made definite plans although he was inclined to be- ieve 1t would be done in the near future. It is probable that if the street is built and homes are erect ed Mir. Halock will ask the town to accept the street.
 Struck On Turnpike.
 While attempting tc make repairs to his truck which was struck on the turnpike in this town few feet from the Meriden town line late last night, William Bowles of New Haven was struck by a passing automobile and sustained painful injuries about his egs and an abrasion over the eye,
 The automobile which struck Bowles did not stop and the license number of the car was not secured. Bowles was picked up by Joseph Sar- razin and brought to Meriden, where he was attended by Dr, T. s. Sklad- zien. He was later removed to the Meriden hospital, where 1t was said that his condition is not serious.
 Returns From Trip.
 A. F. Wooding of Kensington has returned to his home in this town fol- lowing an extended automobile trip through northern territory He went by way of the White mountains into Maine, thence to Canada and made stop at Quebec. While in Canada, Mr Wooding took sail of about 450 miles on the St. Lawrence and Sag unay rivers.
 S-;t nb r1oy, plain, Lake George Schoon and Long lakes. the Adirondacks, Helder- burg and Catskill mountains and many otk,r points of interest in the north. Returning by way of Pough keepsie and Danbury, Mir. Wooding claims that he covered over 2,o00 miles He reports good weather most of the time.
 Afraid of Whistle.
 That motorists on the main turn pike between Meriden and Hartford are afraid of any whistle which is similar in sound to the ones used by the state police. was proven few days ago when Hiram Hurlburt, rural carrier for the Berlin and Kensington postoffices. blew his whistle in front of house on the turnpike to warn the occupants that he had register ed letter for them. Almost immedi- ately after the blowing of the whis- tie by Mir. Hurlburt traffic on the turnpike, both north and south bound, came to a halt.
 One of the autoists who was stop ped asked MT. Hurlburt:
 What did you stop us for?" to which the rural carrier replied, T did not stop you"
 Then the autoist wanted to know what he blew the whistle for, and Mir. Hurlburt told him after, which the autoist said:
 Well, I was arrested once before in Berlin for not stepping when a whistle was blown and I made sure that I stopped this time"
 When the many autoists found out what the whistle had been blown for they continued on their way.
 Covers A Large Territory.
 There are perhaps few people in the town Of Berlin who know of the large territory which is covered each day by Hiram Hurlburt, rural carrier for the local postoffices. It was as- serted this morning by Postmaster W.
