 Ice at Underpass
 Ice mounting to 8 thickness of nearly six inches is presenting a dangerous condition at the under pass at Berlin station, menacing transient traffic with 20 foot ex- panse of slippery surface that Is hazardous to cars not equipped with chains. Observation at the spot this morning. showed that drivers not acquainted with existing condi- tions on several occasions nearly skidded into the brick walls of the place as they sped through the un- derpass and several near collisions were observed as cars had difficulty in slowing down for approaching traffic. Workmen have cut chan nels through the ice to draw off the water but today's cold weather had not aided the conditions greatly up to noon. The turn into the station drive is also dangerous because of the icy surface and skidding was plentiful.
 Christmas Trees Observed
 Approximately 25 carloads of Christmas trees have passed through Berlin station during the past three days and indications are that the heaviest Aux of traffic in the evergreens is due to come next week. The trees were from Maine and New Hampshire and were des- tined to hold the decorations of New York children and homes farther, south. This year is reported as a good one for the Christmas trees, they being thick and color full, in contrast to last years rath- CT shabby affairs.
