 A crash between an automobile driven by Mrs. Laura Pierce and a truck operated by Albert F. Sroka of 1263 Main street, Hartford which occurred on West Main street Satur- day night, may have it's sequel in the local police court, Mrs. Pierce's car Is said to have been parked at the right side of the road when the heavy truck hit the rear end, dam aging the fender. Mrs. Pierce, sec ing the damage done, asked the operator of the truck to show his license and his registration at which he became angry and used abusive language towards her. 1t is alleged. A complain was registered with Grand Juror William J. Foran and he is making an investigation into the affairs. He will probably hale the driver into court.
 Must Pay For Damages
 Charles Roscoe of 2o Vine street, Waterbury, will be required accord ing to dicision reached in the local police court, to settle for damage which his truck caused last Thurs day evening to an automobile owned by Merritt Johnson of Church street. Roscoe is said to have failed to stop to ascertain the damage done and Johnson gave chase. He caught him at Black Rock bridge in New Brit | ain and turned him over to q police man there who held him for Deputy Sheriff F. w. Furrey of Painvlle. | When Roscoe was arraigned in the local town court he was charged with violating the rules of the road and evading responsibility but he was discharged when he agreed to settle for the damage done to John | sons car. Roscoe claimed that he was unaware that he had struck the other machine. Mr. Johnson cor roborated this angle of the case by l saying that the rear end of the truck hit his car and it might have been | that the driver was unaware of it and he would be satisfied to have the damage paid for.
 Roscoe was later summoned into | the New Britain court on charges of transporting liquor and his case was continued.
 Removing Ice
 Employes of the town under the direction of the selectmen have been removing the large chunks of ice about the center of the city and in this manner have been relieving somewhat prcCarious driving condi- tons there. The ice is over foot thick in places and although all of it will not be removed. the places which have been fixed made ConGi- tions much better for automobile drivers.
 Several streets are quagmires and and people are finding it difficult 10 travel over them. The worst are probably Linden street and Canal street. Linden street has been re- duced to a muddy stretch and the children attending the school there are sometimes forced to walk in the muck much to their discomfort It is impossible to do anything with this street at the present time but steps will be taken to put it into shape in the spring.
 Canal street is living up 10 its name. People are forced 10 watch their step as they are in danger of going in over their shoe tops. The scIectmen will probably open the guttcrs in the worst places and in this way allow the water to run off.
