This is explained by the fact that Farmington avenue fur- nishes a direct route to Hartford trom this city and man autoists having been using it since the state highway department completed the new roadway from the Bristol town line to the main highway between Plainville and Farmington. Plans are now in the works to make Ter- ryville avenue a state aid road from the corner of North Main street to the Terryville town line, When this becomes a reality, the amount of traffic will again be increased to a considerable extent. Mayor Crumb has for a long time advocated the entire elimination of Doolittle’s crossing. Although he realized that the cost of the work would be considerable, he aiso feels that it would be money well spent. It is also believed that the state would favor the climination program before they would consider the return to the double crossing arrangement. The railroad’s decision on the matter will be definitely known e ity of one crossings, fha present | when the council meets on Tuesday, Arrangements have been made by General Superintendent Edward 1. Regan of the “New Ha- ven” road to have the situation look- ed into by the company's grade crossing committee ecarly next week and their findings will be submitted direct to him. Mr. Regan stated that the elimination of the crossing would prove too expensive, both for his company and the city.

Similar signs were placed last year on Main, North Main, School streets and Riverside avenue, When the work is completed, the parking regulations of the city will be rigidly enforced. Such action is found neccessary because of the in- creased number of cars being op- crated and the small amount of available parking space.

VATICAN MAKES DENIAL Brands as False Story That King of Spain Secks to Have His Mar- riage Annulled. Rome, May 19 (#—The Vatican today issued a new emphatic denigl of reports which have been ecirgg- lated that King Alfonso of Spain s contemplating an annulment of his marriage to his Quecen, Victoria Eu- genia. In the denial the Vatican authoyi tles observed the act of marriage be- tween sovereigns is such a solem rite surrounded by such guarantees known to everybody that it is almost impossible to find faults foreseen by canon law making such annulment possible. Alfonso’s dissatisfaction with his queen, rumor has had it, is based on an alleged hemophiliac conditi which has also been congenital wit their children. This condition, it ts said, causes an acute bleeding from the slightest wound or scratch. It is said to have been quite common among European royal families,
