Drivers ignere the “No Park- ing” rule, and stop and sometimes leave their cars between the trolley and the theater. Once 1 saw two cars abreast directly between the trolley and the theater entrance. A hurrying driver desiring to pase turned quickly to the other side of the trolley only to meet another car and that time just miss a smashup. 1 frequently see attempts to pass the other side of the trolley because there is so little room on the right side. “Not infrequently when driving. 1 come upon two auto drivers who have met and stopped side by side to talk over some presumably fmpor- tant matter right in the middle of the street, apparently unconcerned whéther or not their conference is in the narrowest, most crowded point of the highway. Several times, too, I have seen a man hail a pagsing car to stop at its side to talk, at the same time I and others had to wait for the tremendously important tconversation to come to its momen- beards and ether articles.

A. Mac- Leod, was empowergd to appoint at the regular meeting last night. The committee will be organized primarily for the purpose of work- ing along with the representatives of the town in matters which might come up before the legislature at the coming sessions which might benefit towns and communities of the size of Plainville. This body will report back with recommendationa at a future meeting of the Cham- be! The much mooted question of the persistent violations of the traffic code which was recently adopted by the townspeople, came up for dis- cussion during the course of the evening. Replying to the charge that the Chamber of Commerce was attempting to interfere with the j|duties of the town officials, mem- bers stated last night that their sole purpose was to cooperate with the officials and enforce the wishes of the people of the community. A communication from C. H. Norton regarding some observations which he has personally made at various times near the center, was read. It explains itself fully and reads as follows: Macl.eod: "I noticed by the paper that the question of illegal parking is to be discussed at the meeting Thursday evening. As I cannot be present, 1 desire by this letter to voice my leomplaint about the parking in our square from the railroad | 1g along Whiting street to a {point just past Rogers' bakery is jorten lined full of cars parked the jentire length.

He slowly went into store, deliberate and slowly wall The line of cars could not meanwhile, because the parked cars re so far from the curb that it s impossible for another car to between them and the trolley.

I for one am will- ing to be taxed all that is necessary to provide an adequate police force to compel an observance of respect for all who have to use our streets. “Most respectfully, “C. H. NORTON.” Automatic Stop Lights The president was also empow- {ered to appoint a committee of three to investigate and find out the cost of the system of traffic lights being lused extensively throughout the !xm.». The committee will find the | | costs and if they are not prohibitive, it may recommend that they be adopted. The Automatic Sign Cor- | poration of New Haven has offered ito have a demonstration at any fu- !'ture date which might be named by the committee. Resting Stations President Macleod was also em- powered to appoint a committee of three to look into the matter of es- tablishing rest and comfort stations in the center of the town. This was brought about through a communi. cation of a gasoline filling station proprietor. y He took it upon himself to count the number of persons making use of his quarters and found that in 16 days, of them visited his sta- tion. Of this number, only 191 were customers. According to this, there appears to be a real need of a pub- lice comfort station in the center, properly supervised. No definite action was taken on the matter other than the appoint. ment of the committee, but the members present at the meeting regarded the project very favorably. High School Comedy One week from today the Plain- ville high school Dramatic club will make it third presentation. It will be a comedy of American life entitl- ed “Applesauce.” It might be call- ed a comedy of married life for the manner in which Ma and Pa Robin- son are continually scrapping. How- ever, in the end—well, the play will explain it all. People in Plainville who attended the first two presentations will re. member Harlowe Smith as playing the part of the father in “Nothing But the Truth.” In this play. Mr. Smith recelved many compliments oi his portrayal of this role. In the second play, “Professor Pep” he had a comedy role, that of Sin ty the In this play, Mr. Smith has a imilar to that which he por- trayed in the first one and the man- ner in_ which he interprets it will make the audigce think they are on Broadway. Abie Usher who plays the part of Ma Robinson, also won acclaim in “Professor Pep.” 8he gives a fine rendition of the not-much-heard-of hen-pecked wife. The play will be given next Friday evening and the committee in charge is hoping for a full house.

Lawyer's Watch Stolen Deer hunting proved a dear pas- | time for Attorney Francis Tracy of this city, who with a party of friends is spending several days at a camp | at East Otls, Mass. Upon returning from a trip in the woods Thursday afternoon the lawyer discovered that his Hamilton watch, valued at $150, had been stolen during his absence. jHe made his loss known to Chief of Police Ernest T. Belden of this city and Chief Nevins of Torrington, who were spending the afternoon in camp, and the theft was also re- ported to local officials At Otis, Mass. Mr. Tracy and membcrs of his party are of the opinion that the watch was stolen by a party in a, Massachusetts car, which stopped for a short time at the camp. The visi- tors at the time had with them a deer which they claimed they had shot several hours before, but it was subsequently learned that the animal had been stolen from in front of cne | of the stores in Otis, where it had | been displayed by the Bristol nim- rods. It was noticed that a portion of rope, which had apparently been cut, was around the deer's neck and it was later found that the rope, with which the animal had been sus- pended in front of the store, had also been severed with a knife. The party, which consists of Coun- cilman Homer H. Judd, Carl Mason, Harlan B. Norton, Herbert Maronn | und other Bristol sportsmen, has al- ready shot seven deer. Stolen Car Recovered The automobile of Wilfred J. Croze of High street, which was stolen from South Elm street last Tuesday evening, was found aban- doned in the woods alongside the road near Grannis Lake Thursday afternoon by Christopher Critehley of Forestville, who happened to be hunting in the vicinity. Practically everything of value which could be romoved from the -ar. including the five tires and rims and battery, were | taken by the thieves, one of whom even used the overalls of the owncr to save his clothes while stripping the car. The car was tewed back to a local garage last night. Mre.
