Interest.
 Berlin suffered one of the most severe cloud bursts in it's history last night and early this morning when downpour flooded the town. Considerable damage was done by the water, especially to roads and driveways. No serious naishaps have been reported.
 The greatest damage done was ,at the Bridge at Berlin station. The ! span, which is great cause TOT trouble during heavy rains, sluiced gallons of water down into the road bed, that flooded the highway and , made the place impossible to mo- tor vehicles and pedestrians. At the height of the storm, the water mounted to depth of eight feet . under the bridge and backed up the street until it reached a dis tance nearly 50 yards from the bridge. Eight cars foundered in the pond thus created and had to be lowed to New Britain, help from the Berlin garage being forced to detour over the back road to pull them out of the place. Three of these were heavy trucks that gave great trou- ble in being lowed out. Traffic was detoured through the back road after the situation was dis covered.
 The underpass has always been the cause of traffic trouble during wet weather. A nearby brook sWells rapidly with any considerable downpour, thus backing up thruogh the sewer and submerging the place There is apparently no other answer to the problem other than raising the railroad tracks to degree that levels the road at that point. This would necessitate lifting the tracks for a distance of about three miles each way and building new spar

The stream between Kensing ton and Berlin overflowed it's bank but did not do any damage othe than washing away part of tn shoulder of the highway.
