The mayor has called a meeting of all farmers in this city and adjacent towns at his office tomorrow afterncon, to discuss the po- tato situation.

If the meeting results favorably orders for potatoes will be taken at the mayor’s office and sent to those farmers who are affiliat- ed with the clearing house. It is pro- posed to fix a price at the meeting and thus foil speculators, as far as this section of the state is concerned. Mayor Quigley believed the city may also buy a large consignment in the near future to store for public con- sumption during the wister.

The injured were taken to Sweitzer's drug store where they received first aid treatment until medical help could be secured. Anna Hanson was uncon- scious for a few minutes.

TRAFFIC RULE CHANGE One Way Street Around Central Park Under Consideration—40 Minute Privilege May Be Cut. If certain proposed plans are car- ried out by the committee composed of Commissioner Robb, Chief of Police Rawlings and Traffic Supervisor Lam- phere who were appointed at#he ex- ecutive meeting of the police board last Priday evening trafic will be completely revolutionized in this city. One of the changes proposed in that of making a one way traffic around Central Park. The roadway at the west side of the park is prob- ably the narrowest in the city con- sidering the amount of traffic there. In addition cars are allowed to park on both sides of the street. It is pro- posed to have vehicles going south go down the western side of the park and vehicles going north go up the eastern roadway where there is plenty of space on Main street. Under the proposed change an autoist driv- ing from the South church to West Main street would have to continue up Main street rounding the corner at the National bank building. The committee will also consider the advisability of cutting the forty minute parking provision to twenty minutes. One matter which will continue to make traffic matters difficult to solve is the system of trolley schedules. At present the cars stop at Central Park to make connections with other trol- levs. A system similar to the one used in Hartford has been suggested the city to make the plan practicable. The committee will meet in con- ference soon and probably be ready to present a report to the police board at the next meeting. HOSPITAL CASES. William Hick, an emplove of the Berlin Trap Rock Co., in Suffield, is confined to the local hospital with a broken left leg and body bruises as the result of an accident at the plant Saturday afternoon. Edward Romanski, aged eight years, was struck by an automobile owned by Assessor James J. Watson Satur- day afternoon near his home on Hart- ford avenue. The youngster jumped off a lumber wagon and ran directly in front of the automobile. He sustained an injury to his head and at the hospital today it was stated that he was showing signs of improve- ment. WINS DENTAL COMMISSION. Dr. Willlam E. Norton received word from the war department today that he had been recommended for a commission of first lleutenant in the Dental Reserve Corps of the army. He recently passed the examinations.

Chang- | es in standard shares were limited to | fractions, gains and losses being about equally divided. U. S. Steel and sev- eral other equipment issues again de- noted moderate pressure. Specialties to 11 points and rails were inclined to ease. U. S. Steel reacted to 106 1-2 be- fore rallying to 108 1-4 and other prominent industrials pursued much the same course. Rails, shippings and oils also moved with the general list, advancing from substantial frac- tions to 1 1-2 points. Local tractions and International Paper were heavy. Activity abated on the rise, dealings in the first hour falling to the small- est total of any recent session. Bul- lish initiative was again lacking but shorts hesitated to engage in new commitments. Liberty bonds con- tinued to sag, the range extending from 99.66 to 99.54. Coppers were the backward fea- tures of the apathetic afternoon ses- slon. Kennecott dropped 1 5-8 and others of that group lost material fractions. Steels and other leaders also yielded part of their early ad- vantage. New York Stock Exchange quota- tion furnished by Richter & Co., members of the New York {tock Ex- change.
