Doolittle's Discussad The traffic situation at Doolittle’s crossing was discussed at peme length by the council 't night. H. Judd, who has vigorously opposed the present arrangement, asked that the traffic buttons now in service be remeved fmmediately. In was his eontention that the present system has proved a failure and if anything, has in- creased the danger of those using the crosxing. Following an aceldent en the crossing last Saturday afternoon. there has been considerable criticism heard becauss of the narrowness of the crossing. The matter of 2¢-heur flagman protection has alse been taken up with Superintendent John J. O'Hanley of the Waterbury divis- ion of the New Haven road but in & letter read last night, he expressed the opinion that such service was not warranted. The crossing at present in protected until 9 o'clock at might. Corporation Counsel William N. DeRosier suggested that the ceuncil await action on the part of the pub- e utilities commission, which was rexponsible for the present butten sr- rangement. It was decided te'take the matter up further with the eom- mission with a view of having the present alleged adverse conditions remedied.
