The spring and fall mark the periods when the heaviest traffic is about the streets of the city. The city will come one-way traffic in the center, that is certain. With over 4,000 automobiles now owned in town and the number | rapidly growing we are cramped for space. What will conditions be a few years from now? We shall have to take some steps to create order out of the chaos that will exist and the creation of order involves the routing of machines along set paths that do not cross each other a#ly more than possible. As it {s we now feed our traffic into Central Square from eight different streets and allow each ma- chine to go in which direction its driver chooses. This makes numerous crossing in routes, each one of which is capable of tying up traffic for a limited time. We must, some day, route our cars so that they will pick up the stream®f traffic when coming out of a side street and travel with it in a circular movement around the park until the destination or outlet from the center has been reached ‘West Mdin street, Arch street, Frank- n Square and Park street might be considered through thoroughfares, with two way traffic. One way traffic on Court, Church, Chestnut and Wal- nut streets might be advisable. The traffic around the park should be routed in a circular direction, north- pound on the east side of the park, south bound off the west. Church and Court street should carry east bound traffic into the center in one case out in the other and Walnut and Chest- nut the west bound. is proverbially ultimately to trolley waiting point there | erected tor |a better spot for water pleasures is| llm-nuld not require a great expendi- | A pool and an athletic field in proximi- | means proceed with the work at the | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922, the erea ‘H(-n of a "dead spot” in traffic is ad.

It would be a good plan for the commissioners to undertake the construction of a pool at this spot at the same time as they rebuild the other. It is a rather long stretch for the person who lives in the south end to travel all of the way across the city to the other park for his swim doubtedly there are not many Un- resi- dents of that section who patronize the north end pool, it is far, But it is certain that a poo!l in the south end would attract just as many from their section of the city as the other does from the northern section.

Rables are a menace to people as well as dogs. The only spread of the disease iz the locking up covered way to insure against a of all dogs or the vaccination of a\l’ dogs.

That is| and not heard get is | On the City x-Mayor Quigley's determination to remain in politics 1s reflected in the announcement this week that | the Quigley faction may put a ticket |in the field during the campaign this fall, putting forward candidates for state senator and representatives, | The statement was accepted with res- ervations by political leaders of both major parties because it s too early [to tell what 18 golng to happen and it 1s not thought that Quigley wili persevere in his determination to run an independent ticket, the only result of which would be to wreck the hopes of the regular republican party and make victory certain for democrats If Quigley should prosecute his present designs and succeed in pre- venting the G. O. P. from electing |its regular candidates, he would sim- 'x\ly be repaying in kind for the treat- ment he received at the hands of some regular republicans last spring when Paonessa was elected. It will | be recalled that little enthusiasm was |shown on that election day by a | number of prominent republicans who wanted Quigley licked and hu- miliated at all costs. They sacrificed the success of their own party to the | destruction of their party candidate and simply led him to the end of ! the gang plank and gave him a push It is hardly necessary to mention names but wide circulation was given to a story that one prominent repub- lican had actually umed the role of Judas and had 1 his influence in return for a promise of appoint-| ment to the chairmanship of a com- mission. Unfortunately for him, ger- [tain democrats learned of his in- trigue after election and prevented his appointment being executed. P It will be seen from the foregoing that Quigley has reason, if not jus tification, for wishing to see the de- feat of the regular republican candi- dates. Whether he commands suf-} ficient votes to accomplish this end is doubtful. His influence has waned'| Auring the past few years but, if he| insists in forging ahead with his]| plans, he may be able to wreck the| republican party loca this being based on the probability of an in- tensive campaign by the democrats. In politics there are wheels within wheels. This is the vear when the humble proletariat goes to the polls. For this reason tk state leaders of |the republican party will make every leffort to line up all hamlets, villages, towns and cities because their control | of federal patronage is at stake. They will, therefore, attempt to placate the injured feelings of the Quigley fac- tion and will nove heaven and earth to prevent an open rupture which | might mean the loss of this congres- | sional district. Such would be the traditional and normal course for the state politicians to pureue. If |the shoe were on the other foot democratic leaders would be found |doing the same thing. Because of |the importance of a majority in New Britain, the G. O. P. will try to per- |suade Quigley to get in line. Per- |haps he may be able to make a deal with them which he will again occupy public office. s LI ) i i | by New faces are expected to appear n the republican ticket this year.| Edward F. Hall, who ably represented this city in the state ate, has de- clared that he will not be a candi- | date for re-election. Many were dis- apointed to learn of Mr. Hall's de cision because they appreciated the| work that he has done for the city and |they recognized his administrative ability, With Mr. Hall retiring, there im- |mediately pops into mind the name | of Representative “Dick"” Covert who | |would like to be promoted and whose many friends would like to see him | |realize his ambition.

Mayor Paonessa has already declared for Spellacy, but there s sufficlent Lonergan strength here to keep him well up in the race so far as the Hardware City s concerned. New Britain will no doubt be one of the flelds of battle because of this di- vided sentiment Unless Ex-Congressma Lonergan has lost his persuasive eloquence, his opponént may not be able to capture the delegates if they truly represent democratic opinfon It will be re- called that Mr. Lonergan spoke at For's theater on.the Sunday preced- ing his last election to congress, ap- pealing to his listeners for support so convineingly that there was a wave of Lonergan enthusiasm at the polls on the following Tuesday. That was a big Lonergan day and times would bave td change radically to cause a slump in his popularity hereabouts. It is expected that Mayor FitzGerald of New Haven will receive the nomi- nation for gavernor without opposi- tion. The Elm City executive {s an astute campaigner and {s probably the best selection the party could make for the office. The last democratic governor—§8imeon E. Baldwin— was a New Haven man and there may be some significance to that. Democratic leaders see in the vari- ous rivadries existing within the party a healthy sign which they in- 1erpret as favoring the polling of a \rge vote on election day. Unless contests are carrled to extremes and become bitter personal warfare, leaders are always pleased to see them develop. They prove that the rank and flle of.the voters will have no time to become apathetic toward the issues or the candidates. feeling engendered by rivalries is vsnally dissipated prior to election day and voting the straight ticket be- comes general. In the Lonergan-Spellacy contest, as an instance, there will be times when hot-headed and not altogether re- sponsible advocates of both candidates will express hostile opinions which will create a feeling of resentment in the opposite camp. This is one of the fruits of enthusiasm and is usually forgotten before election day because the average voter wants to see the rominee of his party win even though that nominee were not his personal selection. It can also be said that neither Mr. Lonergan nor Mr. Epel- lacy will approve of any disparaging remarks made against each other and will be ready to work for the success of the ticket after the nomination is made. . Establishment of a motorists’ over- night camp in the North End park is — E—— I | in keeping with progressive idea Such camps are being fitted out in many cities much to the pleasure of automobile sojourners and to the credit of the communitigs which pro- vide this service. Nlefore proceeding with the final plans, it might be well for interested parties to write to cities which have already established camps and from a composite of the reports received ih. stall desirable features and avold ob- jectionable features. No doubt the experiences of other places will be valuable in guilding local authorities Provision should be bmade for the heaith as well as comfort of those who occupy the camp. Sanitary ar- rangements for both sexes should Jeave nothing to be desired. There should be running water always avafl- able. As many tourists cook their own meals, suitable facilities should be at hand, such as outdoor fire places, ovens, etc, It might also be well to install sinks_ suitable for washing dishes and utensils, The cry may be ralsed that all these things cost money. The answer is that the expense would be com- paratively light. But the strongest argument in favor of adopting such plans is based on selfishness and self- protection. Unless proper sanitary conveniences are provided, nuisances will be committed. Unless proper cooking contrivances are installed, there will be ever-present menace” of fires. Unless running water and sinks are at hand, garbage patches will soon make the place unfit to live in. If thoge who are fostering the pro- ject think that it will suffice just to provide a resting place for globe-trot- ting automobiligts, they are making a serfous mistake and digging a well of disappointment into which they will tumble. It is idealistic and in- spiring to vision a happy band of etrangers within out gates, refreshing themselves in the balsam-scented sur- roundings of New Britain's Open Air Guest House. But modern civilization requirés other comforts and conven- ‘lem‘u; unless they are provided the | camp for autoists who don't pass in the night will fall far short of being a popular or healthy hostelry. e Surprising as it may seem to the | uninitiated who are too busy to keep track of conditions, a shortage in builders’ hardware and certain lines of tools is imminent. This statement is made on the strength of an inves- | tigation conducted by “Hardware Age,"” the voice of the hardware trade in the United States. It should have the effect of stimulating manufactur- ing business in New Britain, if con- ditions develop as expected. The ‘““Hardware Age"” says: “It {s aid that manufacturers of certain lines of tools and household cutlery and to some extent the manufacturers of builders’ hardware are from thirty { to ninety days behind on their pro- duction schedules. Dealers’ stocks are Jow and manufacturers say that orders have been accumulating. The | shortage of both skilled and common labor, the coal and railroad strikes jand the fact that no surplus stocks were manufactured during the recent period of depression are all pointed to as reasons for the possible shortage this fall. “Current” demands in most of the principal wholesale markets center around seasonable goods. Jobbers al- so report that they have received a relatively large number of orders foy fall and winter merchandise to be shipped later in the season. During the past two weéks the pumber of future ordets has fallen oft becausa of the uncertainty caused by the coal and rallroad strikes, “‘Steél production, especially in the Pittshurgh district, has been curtalled by coal and transportation conditiona which, market observera belleve, will eventually be reflected {n the hard. ware markets in the form of higher prices.'
