l TAPATHA WANTS LIGHTS IN FITH Alderman Points to Accideats in | Asking Traflic Control 1 In a movement to reduce the ac- cident toll in the northwestern sed- | tion of the city, Alderman Frank Zapatka of the fifth ward will ap- | pear before the police hoard tonight and urge that a safety campaign be opened with the installation of sig- nal lights at several of the more im- portant intersections. The points to he urged are Wash- | Ington and Broud streets, High and | Broad streets and Grove and Broad | streets. He will also ask that one- | way traffic at the interscction of | Broad, Clinton, Burritt and Smith | streets, be experimented with and if | found practicable made permanent. Speaking of his plan, Alderman Zapatka today called attention to the fact that the greatest number of dren are reported from the section of the city he represents. Construc- tion of the new Broad et pave- | ment has had a tendency to invite speeding, he pointed out, and he is anxious to prevent the accident list from growing. This can be accom- plished to a great etxent, he be- lieves, if the signal lights and traf- fic changes recommunded are adopted ANONYHOUS WRITER COMPLAINS T0 MAYOR Unsigned Letter Tells of Grievance | Against Fire Board Em- ployment. Complaint was made to Mayor Weld today that favoritism is being shown in the allotment of work for substitute firemen and that some are given almost continuous employ- ment, while others have not been allowed sufficient work to pay for the medical examination necessary for appointment. The complainant mailed his grie- vance to the mavor in an unsigned letter. He represented himself as an ex-serviceman who has not yet been | given an hour’s work. Although | sober and industrious he has not had a chance to show his ability, he declared, and he charged that other substitutes who are not am- bitious enough to secure regular em- ployment are able to live by reason of temporary jobs afforded them in the fire department. The assistance of the mayor in es- tablishing a more equitable distri- bution of this part time employment was eought by the aggricved fire- man. Forks were first used in Italy in the 16th century. Queen Elizabeth was the first English sovereign to | use one and it was considered a great affectation. Religious leaders | even preached against their use, say- ing that fingers were given us to eat with. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1927. !
