The new trafic tregulations regarding parking of automobiles is in force and Police Chief *Brown has anmounced that the regulations will be strictly adhered to. Parking signs have been placed noti- fving automobilists that thirty minutes is the limit for parking automobiles in Rroad and Main streets from Union to Union street, that street running from Broad to Main street. The same limita- tion prevails in Broad street on the north side from the bridge to High street and along that street on the W to Canal street.

If Policeman Chase, Wwho serves as traffic officer of Watch Hill during the summer season, had his way, the rear wheels and not . the front wheels would touch the curbing in front of the Rhode Island and they would head veering to the right, in the di- rection of regular traffic. “To to the right” signals have been placed on cement pedestals in Dixon square, Broad and ‘Elm streets, Main and Broad streets, High and Canal streets, and at Canal street and Rai- road avenue, thereby making those warnings more prominent and = causing automobilists to give them a wider berth, as a matter of safety first. Regulations as to speed, and all laws pertaining to the operation of .automo- biles are to be strictly enforced. Charles S. Palmer was struck by a trolley car of the Groton-Stonington branch, Sunday night, when within a short distance of his home in Wequete- quock. Two ribs were broken and he sustained several minor cuts and bruis- es. The car was bound to Westerly and Mr. Palmer was seen by the aid of the rays from the headlight, walking in the road for quite a distance ahead of the car. The motorman sounded the whistle several times. As the car neared Mr. Palmer he stepped onto the track, and in response to the warning whistle went ack to the highway. Suddenly he came back to the track and was struck a glancing blow by the trolley car. The motorman applied the brakes and the car came to a sudden standstill, its length from the point where the acci- dent occurred. It is believed that Mr. Palmer beeathe dazed when he saw an automobile approaching and unconscious- Iy stepped in front of the trolley car, >assengers in the car declare the le gave warning in ample time for Mr. Palmer to get to safety, that the slowed down, and brought to a_very quick and sudden stop in the effort to avoid the accident, and that no blame attaches to the motorman. Mr. Palmer was assisted to the residence of Mrs. Edward Pollard, where he was at- tended by Dr. Meyers, of Mystic. Chief neer Henry A. Stahle, for many year's head of the Pawcatuck fire department, and who has served so faith- fully and well, that he might hold the of- fice indefinitely, has served motice that he will decline re-election at the forthcoming annual meeting of the fire district.

Railroad ties across the tracks of the ton-Stonington road on two mornings ast week led to an investigation. The s were found in each instance near ‘edar Ledge between 9 and 10 o'clock in morning, showing it to be an act of ) L cussedness rather than to do harm to carl“‘hiie assisting in the removal of a heat- or passengers. Trolleymen investigated without result. Deputy Sheriff William H. Casey was called into the case and in record time fastened the guilt upon a boy of 16, men- tally deficient. The boy admitted he placed the ties on the track just for fun. The sheriff had a heart-to-heart talk with the boy and impressed upon the feeble mind of the lad ‘the enormity of the of- fense.
