 Citizens Arc Inccnsod.
 The fact that the property opposite the Warrington school is to be used as site for a garage and gasoline station has incensed n largo number of Berlin's citizens and it is under stood that they will take steps 10 have the erection of such a building if possible.
 Among tho leaders in this move mcnt is Miss Mary Griswold, super. lntcndent of the Berlin schools. ho made tho following statement to the Herald" today:
 Intense indignation is freely cN- pressed around town at tho sale Of | and on Worthington Ridge for the l purpose of erecting a garage and ill., | ng station. The location of the pro | posed building is at the intersection Of 1 School street and worthington Ridge i md in it's entire width, directly faces he playground of the worthington chool.
 This site is recognized as being me Of thc most dangerous points on he turnpike from Hartford 10 New Iayen. Not all drivers exercise prop T caution in approaching School treet, which several times a day, is hronged with children approaching r leaving the school.
 Probably the most indignant citi- tns in town arc thc parents whose hildren will be subject to increased angers which public garage and Hing station always provides at inc orner Of unusually busy thorough tres.
 Property owners. who have for any years. made this part of Bcrlin rect one Of tho most attractive ir I 'wn. are alive to the depreciation Of ] ,lue in their property, but their ap- ' -chension is quite as fully shared by q other residents, who hate tb sec f e quiet beauty of the choicest resi- 3 'ntial section in town defaced by thc C 'ual ugliness of garage with it's , any signs, and untidy surroundings. I |, "A petition by residents Of tho c rect is being Circulated and win be b mt 10 the purchaser Of the land thin few days. "A prominent citizen has expressed il sentiment Of many. when he said tt at the travelling public would bc n ito as disappointed and indignant sf
 local residents in having tho ap- fc oach 10 th" street from the north m de as objectionable as the ap- al bach from tho south has aIrcsjy tr rome" ,t The land has been purchased by an th st Berlin resident named Abel and si understanding was that q sasoliu. rr tion and garage were 10 be erected gre.
