Residents by Shout Brief Item.
The heavy rain this morning pro
vided a severe test of the efficiency of
the draining system which was re
:ently Installed under the railroad
bridge and on. the west side of It.
Jtia drainage system was found
wanting. The rain commenced at a
quart after nine, and in- one hour
there was a foot and a half of water
jnder the bridge. The little pond
was growing rapidly, being fed by
If reams from the eat and west sides
t the tracks.
. Automobiles had more or less suc
cess In passing through the pond.
Borne got a good mart and. splashing
srater on all side, ploughed their way
throuih successfully. Others had the
misfortune to have their engines fall
when the water struck them, and the
ninmnMlM wra flailed. One Olds-
moblle In particular got as far as the
tenter of the pond and was stalled.
The occupants could not get out ror
:he water va almost two feet deep. A
truck came along and hauled the
lutomobile out by use of a long chain.
The trolley cars did not attempt
to pass through the pond. They
were stopped at a convenient dis
tance on either side of the pond and
the crews changed cars.
No water seemed to be carried off.
The storm may been been too sudden
(or the capacities of the drain, but at
any rte It seems that the drain Is
Insufficient. Many residents have
Uways doubted the feasibility of a
Jraln unaer me oringe, since inn i
a point lower than the brook to
which the water la directed. There
has alwAys been trouble with the
Iratnage system since the car road
less cut under the tracks. It had
been hoped that the state highway
commlsoton had at last solved the
problem when the present drainage
lystem wa put In. The other drains
,an the west side of the tracks were
'in excellent working order and car
ried off all the -water which flowed
near them.
No Light or 'Phone Service.
Both Kensington and Berlin have
had poor electric service during th
past few days. Most of the street
tights tn Berlin were out last night,
although most of those In Kensington
were burning. Nesrly all the tele
phone were out of order and the re
pair men have been slow to put the
lines In order.
flohoea Make Note,
The residents of Berlin and Ken
sington have been annoyed the past
w evenings by th noise and clamor
passing- through the town
rlvr. asking them for
"n or Hartford. ,The
practice of these wanderers travelling
by automobile, especially in trucks Is
Increasing. It Is not unlawful to travel
In that fashion If the travellers have
the permission of the driver of the
car, but when they are not in a car
and shouting at passing automobllists
when everyone is asleep their actions
amount to a breach of the peace.
" Political Candidates.
Jason Taylor, of the Blue Hills dis
trict has been prominently mentioned
for the nomination of Ihe Republican
party for first selectman. His candi
dacy Is especially urged by the resi
dents of the Blue Hills district who
feel that they should be represented
on the board of selectmen In order
that the roads In that part of the
town mijht be repaired. Mr. Taylor
when Interviewed today said that
while he was appreciative of the con
fidence placed In him by his friends
he did not consider running for the
office and moreover he said he would
not care to oppose either George Car
ter or Dr. R. M. Griswold, who are
at present the most prominent condl
dates for the position.
Francis Demlng Is being urged to
run for the position of representative
from the town of Berlin and it seemi
probable that he will be nominated
by the Republicans.
The Democratic candidates are
unknown. While the oince of select
man s not psrtlcularly sought for by
the Democratic candidates because of
the large Republican pluiality of
voters In the town there re several
Democrats who would like the nom
ination for representative. It Is ex
pected that they will propose the
names of several candidates for the
nomination of selettman and repre
sentative. It has been generally believed tht
George Carter would be a candidate
for first selectman, but as yet he has
not announced his position In the matter.
