 A serious delay of the local train service was narrowly averted early this morning when the rear end of a five ton dump truck. loaded with crushed stones, collapsed just after passing the last rail of the tracks on the East street crossing. The left rear wheel of the truck came off while the vehicles was crossing the tracks but the driver, Thomas Mat teo of 35 Broad street. by clever maneuvering of the wheel, managed to keep the truck moving until clear of the rails. When just over the final tracks, the entire rear end caved in.
 The truck is owned by Peter Onofrio of Pierce street, who does the trucking for the Connecticut Quarries Co. The stones from the truck piled up on the side of the road few feet from the crossing. It took long time before the dam aged truck could be lowed away. Had the truck and its contents stalled on the track, it would have been necessary to flag the trains and considerable time would have been lost
 The crossing. which was paved a year ago by the railroad company when the new East street highway vas laid, is said 10 be badly in need of attention. Motorists who have occasion to pass over it daily state that the large holes and ruts are a considerable tax on the springs. It is thought that the heavy truck struck one of these holes, jarring the wheel and forcing it off the axle
