Joy-riding in automobiles owned by the city departments and the use of these cars in other than business hours was again the subject for discussion before the common council on Monday evening at its September meeting, when Alderman C. V. Pendleton made report of the result of his notification to the city department heads on the subject. He had been delegated to convey to the Rity department heads the vete of the eoumcil as to painting the mame Norwich” and the name of the de- partment on the automobiles in letters not less than two inches tall. and also the vete concerning hours when the cars were to be used. He reported that he had notified the police and fire departments, the street commissioner, the president of the water department and the president of the gas and electrical commissioners. Mr. Shea of the gas and electrical commissioners had answered that he would take it up at the next meeting, the president of the water board had said he would refer it to the water commissioners, as he did not consider the council could dictate to them, the street commissioner had said he would comply as soon as possible, and the police and fire heads had said the reg- ulations would be enforced in their de- partments. When the business of the council had been nearly concluded, Alderman Pendleton said he had a few more re- marks to make on the subject, and he asked Councilman Gleason, who is the council representative on the water board, what action the board had taken at its meeting last Friday night. Councilman Gleason answered that the matter had nct been brought up and no action had been taken. Alderman Pendleton said that the council’s vote seemed to be taken as a joke. There had beem plenty of time to comply, but the presideat of the water board was still riding around in an apparently private car, with no mark on it to show that it belonged to the city. There are four things to do: either Tescind this vote, or leave it as it is until the taxpavers begin to howl, or put on a penaity for mot complying with this, or refuse to pay these bills for gasoline and tires. Mayor Desmond remarked that it was evidently supposed that the wish- es of the council would have seme weight with the departments, but this didn’t seem to be the effect. Alderman Wells called attention to the fact that two trucks of the public works department had been marked. and_Alderman Pendleion admitted he had observed that. Mr. Pendleton fur- they said he had been called up jast Lefore the meeting by a welli known citizen who said he had seen a city department truck outon Sunday witha man’s whole family in it, so that he hardly supposed that was a business trip. Councilman Crooks said Greeneville people could tell a good deal about the amount of joy-riding that zoes on on Sundays. and Councilman Harrington asked if the citizen Mr. Pendleton re- ferred to would come and testify. Mr. Pendleton said_there was no need of that. Everybody knew what was go- ing on. The mavor said these things had net come to his attention, and certainly no one has a right to use public prep- erty for his private use. Alderman Wells said he could back Treasurer Stephan H. Reeves’ 16. 1913, to follows Citx summary of receipts. Man s as August 1919, Cash on hand . May 15. 1919 .. Water works $18,082.52 ling i Outside accoun New sewer ... Department o Ordinary receipts .

Councilman Aubrey said this same thing had been experienced by other cities and that in Springfield it had been necessary to build a city garase and keep a watchman in it. We have got to face phis sooner or later. The discussion of the subject ended with the appeintment of ~Aldermen George, Wells and Pendleton as a committee to investigate ways of coms trolling city-owned automobiles. The meeting opened at .50 with all members present except Councilman R. C. Perry, who is confined to the house with iliness. ‘The committee consisting of Alder- jman Pendleton. Councilmen Fowler iand Crooks. which waé appointed to [flnd out what city department insured their employes, reporied that the gas and electric department and the pub- lic works department carry insurance, but the cemetery, park and water de- partments do not. They pay reguiar wages during disability. The police- men and firemen are not under the workmen’s compensation act. They are protected by state assoeiations. Reporting on the petition of George W. Carroll to have the Yantic ceme- tery gates Jeft open at all times, Al- derman Wells and Councilman Aubrey of the public works committee recom- mended that all exits and entrances except that nearest the Backus hospi- tal be left open.

TRAFFIC REGULATIONS | PROPOSED FOR CITY| of traffic regulations to supereede all other traffic dinances | of the city have been drafted by a committee from the Court of Common A new set Council and were presented at the September meeting of the /council on Monday eveninz. The council ac-| cepted them and ordered them print- ed in the local press and then they come up for discussion on Wed- | evening, September 17th. The committee that drafted the rules was Alderman Joseph A. George, Alder- man Charles W. Wells. Alderman P. H. Sthier. This committee met with| Fire Marshal Howard L. Stanton and Chief of Police George Linton. Some of the regulations are prae- iy the same as the old. Some cov- er the same zround as the state traffic laws while others are distinctly new and their merits is %till undetermined There are twenty-six sections of the new ordinance and covers fully all cases of traffic in the city Seetion 5 reads: “A vehicle waiting at the curb shall promptly give place to a vehiele about to take on or let off passengers.” This is taken to mean than any person who has parked his ear on a strest can be ousted from his position by anvone who wishes to zet his place prvided he has someone who wants to get out at that partieu- la: point. Neothing is said whether second person shall immediately give tneis the place to the original occu- pant. Section 7 reads: “Unless in an emer- zeney or to allow another vehicle or pedestrian to cross its way, no vehi- ela shall stop in any public street ex- cept close to the curb.” And section 11 nesday | | | reads: “There shall be a clear space | of at’jeast six feet hetween vehicles which are parked on the same side of any street.” These two laws pre- sent a Aifficulty. Tf a_line of cars is parked on onec side of a street, all without the drivers in them, it is not possible. according to Seetion 7. to stop and discharge passengers Rnd the driver must either go until he | inds a driver and oust him from his position or go to the head of the line. According to Section 11 all cars must be six feet apart which would string out a number of cars almost _twice their length, making them take up space which could be._ utilized by other cars. Cars that are parked in front of Davis theatre of an evening will according to the new rule extend far along the street, where otherwise they weuld be parked close together. The sections dealing with the park- ing of cars on Main street. Shetucket street. Water street. Franklin street, and Broadway are zood and such laws have long heen needed Tn practically all cases the parking lmit is forty minutes. Section 21 reads: “On the strests. or portions thereof, of the City of Nor- wich. rezarding which no specific reg- ulation made in the foregoing se tions of this ordinance in regard to tn time limit allowed for parking, na vehicle between six o'clock 2. m. and seven o'clock n. ra. shall be permitted to remain stationary for a longer pe- | riod than three hours.” This means that those people who go to their places of business on streets not mentioned and leave their machines parked in front of their places, and there are many who do this, —must i came ot every three hours during the day and move their car. Section 22 deals with the regulation of fares charged by persons in charge of hacks or other vehicles. operated as public convevances for which pas- sengers are solicited or in which passengers are carried for hire. but | not running over regular routes. These fares are regulated for the hours he- tween 6 a. m. and 10 p. m. and ac- cording to distance.
