MARROW BRIDGES
 MENACE TRAFFIC Bus Passengers Endangered by
 One Way Spans PROBLEM NEEDS RELIEF
Town Affairs Quiet-yacationists Leaye-Tabs Team Ambitious Speedsters Fined--Other Items of Interest.

Two dangerous places near Berlin are in need of elimination. One of these is the bridge on Pennington avenue between New Britain and Kensington. This place is very mar row and the trolley tracks make it more dangerous as the road is not paved between the rails. The New Britain bus which plies between the two towns cholles up the spot when 1t passes and traffic is held up while it goes by. Light cars nearly leave the road when they are forced out into the unpaved section of the highway and there is often a con- gesuon around this point.
 The other spot that needs atten- ton is the bridge between Kensing ton and Berlin that is also travelled by the bus This place is not quite as glaringly dangerous as the. first spot mentioned but it is still a menace to traffic that uses it. The bridge is limited to IA tons and the added question of the traffic prob- N lem would tend to point towards a new span DelnS eTeCleu' p As the situation is growing worse daily, the need for action on these | two places is large. As the New Britain bus carries great number of Berlinites to and from New Britain the danger is especially close to residents of this place.
 Tabs Team Wants League Place
 The Tabs team of kensington is anxious to be admitted to the City league of New Britain, There are rumors of one of the teams drop ping out of the league and the Ken singtonians are clamoring for an opportunity to show their form in league circles.
