Grandma Gray, 7S Dies Under Wheels of Car Driven By Master Mechanic Burke of Fire Department.
Berlin Street Scene of Fa- tality This Afternoon Fireman Held on Tech- nicality Under Bond of S1,0O0.
LOSES CONTROL IN
 CAR TRACKS GRIP

Mrs. Sarah Isabel Gray, 7S years old, affectionately known and loved by the entire town of Berlin as Grandma Gray," was struck and instantly killed by the master mechanics car of the New Britain fire depart ment, which was hurrying to 8 fire in the Stanley Chemical Co.'s plant, East Berlin, short ly after 1::30 o'clock this after noon. Mrs. Gray was waiting for a car to New Britain where she was to attend the meeting of the Stanley Women's Relief Corps, of which organization she was chaplain, when the machine, driven by the master mechanic, Edward G. Burke of New Britain, became caught in the car tracks and hurtled sud- denly up on to the sidewalk, striking and killing her instant ly. Burke was taken into cus- tody on a technical charge of criminal negligence and re- leased on S1,000 bonds. The body was taken into a house nearby and Dr. George Gris- wold was summoned. After an examination, Dr. Griswold permitted the body to be re- moved to the home on Worth ington Ridge.
 Dr. Griswold said that Mrs. Gray was instantly killed as she stepped from behind the telegraph pole, where she was awaiting the New Britain car With Mrs. Gray at the time was Mrs. George Meisner, who was to accompany Mrs. Gray part of the way to New Britain, and eye- witnesses of the accident said this afternoon that 1t was only a miracle that prevented a double fatality.
 Burke was rushing to the scene of the East Berlin fire in his own car, when, while attempting to round 8 corner, his wheels became caught in the tracks causing him to suddenly lose temporary control of his ma- chine. The car leaped to the side walk and killed Mrs, Gray before he was able to right 1t again.
 Mrs. Gray. who observed her 7sth birthday last February 22 (Wash- ington's birthday. was one of Ber- lin's best known and loved women and had won her place as Grand ma Gray" in the hearts of everyone who came into contact with her through her good nature and her deep interest in Berlin and its in- habitants. She was everyone's friend and her loss will be an occa- sion of deep regret.
 She was born in Wethersfeid. Feb. 22. 1S47, the daughter of Henry and Martha Whaples, the part of Wethersheld where she was born since having become part of the town Of Eewington. She spent much of her early life in Wethersfeld and on January 4. 1887, she married George Henry Gray the couple com- ing to Berlin March { of the same year. Mrs. Gray has lived in Berlin ever since. The couple had three children. one boy and two girls, all dead. Mir. Gray died Jan. 20. 191s. Mrs. Gray had long been an active member of the Berlin Congregations al church.

OFFICIALS WILL FIGHT
 WEST END GAS STAND
Board of Public Works to Use All Legal
 Weapons

Every restricting agency placed at the disposal of the board of public works will be employed to prevent installation of a gasoline filling station at the O'Connell site on West Main street, it was indlcat- ed this afternoon at the office Of the board, and 1t was claimed the boards authority is sufficient to prevent operation of the proposed new stand.
 The public works board has been unqualifiedly opposed to the new station from the start. When appli cation was made for permit, the board disapproved. Its decision was reversed by the commissioner of motor vehicles, however, and the company granted a license to oper- ate a station. The city ordinance re- quiring all gasoline pumps to be placed at "drive-in" stations will prevail and the new station must be of this type. In order to comply with the ordinances, some excavat- ing must be done, curbs removed, sidewalks replaced and new drive ways placed. The public works board has authority to refuse per- mission to carry on this work and can prevent its placement without authority from the board. This afternoon 1t was reported that such action is in contemplation and un- less the commission experiences a change of heart, 1t appears no sta tion can be put in operation at this site.
 The feeling of the board toward the work is reflected in its action on an application filed more than two months ago, which was discussed but never acted upon. The pro- cedure in similar applications, ac- cording to one contractor, has been to act upon them at the meeting following their presentations The contractor who submitted the re- quest has since withdrawn and at present their is no application pend ing.
 Work on the installation Of the rev gasoline filling station which the Standard Oil Co. proposes to erect on the O'Connell site has also been held up on legal technicalities. it having been found that the pres ent occupant of the site, Charles P. Mccarthy. had not been served with rotice to quit the premises and he must be allowed q days.
 I. Wexler who has the contract for the new station, has notified the Standard oil Co.,, of the situation and has asked for instructions. AL though it was reported the com- pany's intention was to proceed de- spite the technicality. no such order has been transmitted to the con- tractor, he said today. and he does not intend to proceed without in structions and assurance Of protec-
