rough ROADS DRIVE
BUSINESS FROM CITY
Meriden and Middletown
Getting Berlin and
East Berlin Trade
New Britain and Middletown mer-

New Britain and Middletown mer-
chants are in agreement that
gradual lessening of East Berlin
trade here and proportionate
increase in bringing in Middletown
by people Of the neighboring town
is attributable to highway conditions
along Beach Swamp road.
The highway between Berlin street
and the center of New Britain has
been in poor condition for several
years, but has never been in such
condition as for the past few
months.
The utterly wretched condition of
the roads leading into New Britain
has resulted in Berlin buyers trans
ferring their activities to Middle
town. Berlin people consider the
New Britain market ideal but brok-
en- springs and bruised tires more
than offset any saving effected, they
say. Middletown merchants IRE
making capital out of conditions and
are sending broadsides of advertis-
ing to get the trade. Unless some
thing is done to remedy the road
conditions now existent New Britain
is the loser in more ways than one.
Berlin residents are now buying in
the Meriden markets preferring the
two mile extra drive over ideal
roads to the washboard highway
entering New Britain. 4 X
