building of School street from the
Worthington school TO Pennington
avenue into part of the highway
system. Work will be started on this
section soon, it is understood.
Hudson street, where it branches
off from the pike, is still in bad con-
dition, due to the water mains. which
lie under the road, raising several
bumps at that point. The contractor
who laid the pipes has been busy
trying to repair it and has gone so
far as to replace the concrete taken
from the turnpike, but the hump still
remains.
Conley Car Damaged.
1t was learned this morning that
an automobile owned by John H.
Conley of Berlin was damaged Sun
day afternoon, when he was driving
north on the turnpike about six miles
from Berlin.
A car in front of Mr.. Conley
stopped and he was forced to slow
down. Henry j. Foiren Of Kensing-
ton who was behind him, did not see
the signal and crashed into the Con-
ley car, smashing mudguard and
ripping off a hub cap. The Foiren
car glanced off the Conley car, pass
ing on and crashing into the car in
front, damaging the rear end slightly.
No one was injured.
