be no outlet for the carrier except by using force pump. The advis- ability of installing a pumping sys- tenn did not meet with favor at the hands of the board.
 To Remove Trees
 Upon the request of Commission CT Lawrence Kenny, the board in- structed Supt of Streets Thomas J. Fleming to investigate the advisa- bility of removing trees on Frost road near Woodland avenue. Com- missioner Kenny pointed out that they are danger to traffic as they stand out in the highway. Upon khis motion, also, it was voted to investigate the need of light at the point where the new Prospect road and Hamilton avenue meet.
 To the engineering department was referred request of the Con- necticut Light & Power company to install underground vaults on South Main street, near No 89, at Grand streets, on East Main street slight distance east of Exchange place and at the corner of East Main and Spring streets. The en- gineering department will investi- gate to make sure the location of the vaults will not interfere with the city's underground water and sewer lines.
 Brook Layout
 The engineering department will not have maps completed for the layout of the brook running in, the rear of houses on Hawkins street for Six months, property owners were told last night. They seek the layout so that they can enclose the brook and thus prevent overflows in stormy weather.
 William M. Harris informed the board that a dangerous condition exists on the Country club road due to the existence of a big ledge. Superintendent Fleming will in- vestigate the matter. EZRA labor laborers are likely to do the jub during the winter The street com- mittee was instructed to investi- gate storm water conditions on Walnut and Oak streets. Residents stated that surface water sweeps down from Beech and Birch streets.

Community Council
 Sets Up Xmas Plans
Two Night Program to Be Staged Next Week to Raise
 Funds for Providing Holiday Relief
WATERvILLE

There was an attendance of forty-five at the meeting of inc
 Waterville Community Council last night at the rooms of Court WeIch, ~Eoresters of America, in the Fran. cis building on Boyden street. The group, composed of representatives, fFom practically every organiza- ton in Waterville, comprises the general committee, which is under- taking the work of Christmas well rare work among needy Waterville famtlies this year. It is the aim Of the Council" that no worthy family will go without an adeouate &hristmas dinner and other needs ths year. insofar as the Waterville section of the city is concerned.
 Final plans were discussed tor the two-night program to be staged next week for the purpose of rais- Ing funds to finance the cost of providing holiday relief. A card party and entertainment will he given at the gymnasium of Sprague Grammar school on the evening of Thursday, December 18th. All types of card games will be played and a prize will be awarded to the holders of highest score at each table. Entertainment numbers will be offered at intervals during the evening. On the following eva ming. December 14th, there Is to be a dance at the gymnasium, with music to be furnished by Joseph NPietro and his eight-piece or chestra. This is one of the best known dance bands in the city and attracted hundreds to Deer Island Gate Lodge at Bantam during the past sumper, where 1t filled sea- sons engagement. This should be one of the greatest dance treats ever brought to Waterville and is sure to draw large attendance.
 Subscriptions Sought
 In order that every Waterville family might be given the oppor- tunity of assisting in this worthy cause, 1t was voted to conduct house-to- o-house canvass in distribut- ing the tickets for the projects. The entire Waterville section has been divided into twenty-five sec- uons, to each of which two mem- bers of the council have been as- signed. It is hoped that every family will, if possible, subscribe to at least two tickets. Only one form Of ticket is being offered, good for admission on either evs- ming.
 Not for many years has a conn munity group functioned as we'll in Waterville as the committee. which is sponsoring this welfare project. It was started by the Casper s. Davis, Jr, Post. No. 136, the American Legion, which has just been organized in Waterville. In keeping with the obligation of the legion to tackle some outstand- ing piece of community service work each year, the members of the Post suggested that the post interest itself in the provision of holiday cheer and relief to the needy of Waterville this Christ mas season. In order to avoid all possible duplication Of effort and overlapping in this field it was finally suggested that other Water vile groups be given the oppor- tunity of cooperating and as a re- suit of the enthusiastic response the community Council" came iri-

 Two Hurt i'm Crash Another serious accident on Thomaston avenue last night again calls attention to the fact that iit- tie or no effort is being made. to enforce the safety regulation re- gently decreed by the Board of Police Commissioners for that sec ton of Thomaston avenue passing through the center of Waterville.
 At about nine o'clock last night an automobile said to have been operated at a fairly high rate of speed and driven by it's owner. Floyd L. Miller, 36, of 96 Prospect street. Union City, crashed head on with south bound Connecticut Company trolley car operated by Arthur Hebert, veteran electric car operator. The smash occurred just north of Boyden street on q perfectly straight section of the highway. MT Miller and one of his two companions in the car were seriously. injured and their names are on the danger list at'the Wa terhury hospital to which they were rushed by ambulance imme- diately following the accident. Rev Michael Heating. pastor of St MichaePs church, accompanied them to the hospital.
 MT Miller suffered a fractured jaw and fractures of the left arm and left leg. decorations of the left cheek from the nose to the ear, decorations of both eyelids. cut eyebrow and a lacerated chin.
 Henry Rogoziuski. IT, of Allen street, Thomaston, has a possible fracture of the skull and jaw and multiple laceration of the face and nose.
 Domenic Roman, 19, of North Main street. Thomaston, suffered a severe shaking up.
 The nearly new automobile was badly smashed, as was the forward vestibule of the street car. Motor- man Hebert saved himself from possible serious injury when he jumped back into the car, after bringing the car nearly to full stop when he saw the rapidly ap- preaching auto and realized that the impending crash was inevitable.
 Rogoziuski and Roman, who were hitch h-hiking>to their homes in Thomaston, had been given a lift ,by MT Miller as he turned from West Main street into Thomaston avenue. Roman stated that the speed of the car was not unduly excessive until the Waterville street was reached and the approaching trolley was headed. Then the auto seemed to head straight for the street car, despite the warnings screamed to the driver by the two boys.

Residents of Congress avenue extension appeared before the board of works last night and asked for surface repairs on their thoro- ughfare. The board, however, took the stand that as the street is not an accepted one. nothing can be done for the petitioners until they take steps to have the highway laid out formally.
 A delegation from Alberta street, asking for a sewer, was informed that there would be no use mak- ing the installation as there would
