 Automobiles Collide
 An automobile driven by a MT. Moffat of F'orestville, heading west. struck a stalled car on New Britain avenue near Cooke street last eve ming and slightly injured the driver of the second machine. Motorcycle Officer Fred Callen investigated and told Moffat to appear in court for hearing. The accident is thought to be due to blinded vision, caused by the storm.
