 Brings Suit for &f2,OOO
 Charging conspiracy with intcn- tlon to cheat him on a real estate deal, Raphael Giannini of Berlin to- day brought suit for sl2,o against Concetto and Frank Sidoti of Meri- den. through his attorney. Irving G. Smith of Meriden.
 The writ states that in January the plaintiff and the defendants en- tered an agreement to exchange his farm and other property located in Berlin for tenement block in Mer- iden owned by the defendants which they claimed was worth $35, 0O0 and brought a yearly income of $500. After the transaction took place, the plaintiff alleged, he learned that the property was worth only $20, 900 and brought a rental of $1,15o, and that the property was heavily mortgaged. Shortly after the property was fore closed and the plaintiff was forced to give it up.
 1t is claimed that at the time of the transaction the defendants were fully aware of the condition of their property. while the plaintiff had no knowledge of business and real cs- tate deals. and as a result took ad- vantage of this shortcoming and de- prived him of property worth much more than theirs. The plaintiff claims the return of his property in Berlin and s10,000 damages and costs.

MACDONALD VISITS
 UPS0N'S CORNER Highway Official Looks Over
 Dangerous Curve OFFERS SOME ADVICE
Church Services Tomorrow Morning --Baseball Season Opens in New Iondm-Da.light Saving in Ef- feet TOnight-Whist Winners.

State Highway Commissioner John 4. Macdonald has just com- pieted an investigation Of 1psons $ corner and in his report states that the corner is properly posted for curves and nothing further can be done with the corner. In regard to school children the commissioner states that the danger they arc cx- periencing could be easily remcdied if the town authorities would take a little interest in the matter.
 The corner has been under heavy fire by many citizens Of the town since the new highway has been completed. Numerous accidents have occurred at the corner and school children have had narrow es- capes from accidents. The people arc clamoring for action by the town authorities. who have not as yet done anything to better con- ditions at the corner. Mir. Mac donald heard of the complaints and investigated on his own accord and not from any appeal by any of the town officials.
 Commissioner Macdonalds report Is as follows:
 "J have carefully gone over tho corner in question and And this That the new highway has nor" sight line than the old ono, has much less abrupt curve, is wider. and has more bank. Every feature in connection with the highway has been improved. and insofar as ! can see, there is nothing further that can be done with the corner.
 "All that could be done is 10 move oil the property around there, and make it a very wide sweeping curve. The corner is properly signed for curves.
 AS to the school children, this could be very readily corrected, as l was there at the time school was out. if the town authorities would take a little interest in instructing the children just exactly what 10 do at this corner.
 Tt seems to me that this corner is now local problem, and with little education of the pedestrians. it could be made perfectly safe"
 Mir. Macdonald is commissioner of the state highway department and is an expert in his work. He is we'll known about the state for his in- terest in the betterment of highways which can be seen by his investiga- tion of Upson's corner.

 WEEK IS PLANNED
Begins on Iuesday-Rubbish
 Collection Limits Extended
ACTION ON RESIGNATION
Special Cong. Church Meeting Camp Meeting Begins July Fl -Auto Hits POlc-Ei\c Teachers to Lca\c-ChurCh Notices,

A more thorough and comprchen-
 sive Cleanup Week. than any in | the past is planned for next week bs | the board of selectmcn, with whom the Chamber of Commerce is CO.,
 operating. The territory which will
 be covered has been greatly enlarged | to take in sections where there has been much building and to include | Mountain View and Westwood Park. which have hitherto been neglected in the annual clean-ups. Because of this widened field, five days, begin [ ming with Tuesday, will be given over
 to the collection of accumulated rub
 Dish, whereas in the past two days have been sufficient. On the first
 cast of the canal line" railroad
 tracks, with collection west of those tracks on Thursday and Friday.
 The general plan will be the same
 as in former years. The idea Of the cleanup is to get rid of the old junk eliu lubblSl W lllNll piItu up III
 back yards and cellars during the past winter. This trash is to be col lected by each householder and plac- cd on the curb in front of his home.
 Several wagons will be hired by the town and will gather tho rubbish
 from the curbs and deposit it in the West Main street dump. Ashes will be collected, but the sponsors of the cleanup wish it understood that the town wagons will not handle garbage.
 The following schedule and terri
 tory has been mapped out by the sclcctmen and chamber officials: First three days-East of canal line" From Central square along East Main street, up Pennington
 avenue to the old canal and out New
 Britain avenue to Williams street. in
 cluding Trumbull avenue and other
 side streets; south on East street to
 llart's corner, including East Broad
 and Linden streets and the stand ! ard Tract:" from Hart's corner north on Whiting street to Broad, and west to the track. All territory within these limits will be handled.
 Mountain View and Wcstwood Park will also be covered on these first days.
 Thursday and Friday-West on Broad street from the track to For
 est street. taking in South Canal, Pearl, Lincoln, South Washington,
 Webster, and Bohemia streets; north 10 Forestville avenue: cast along this and West Main street 10 the center. including North Washington and Camp streets as far as Bradley street All territory within these limits will be covered.
 In the past it has been the custom 10 stop on Pennington avenue at the
 Mason home, on New Britain avenue at TruEbull avenue, on East street at Tomlinson avenue, on Whiting street at the trolley right of way"
 on Broad at Bohemia street, and on
 North Washington street at the
 bridge. This year all these limits have been extended 10 accommodate the many new buildings. while the
 inclusion of Mountain View and
 Westwood Park is practically the first step of recognition which has ever been accorded the residents of these outlying and rather isolated sections.
