Al Remedy for the jam on Westminster
street.
The practice of backing teams acorss
Westminster street while dellVerihS
freight to the stores there is one that
should be avoided as much as possible
If MT prohibited entirely. This street
between the square and the Arms
block is very narrow and is barely SUI,
ficient for the traffic that uses II ana
when team is stopped across " there
is often blockade that rivals the
crush OF the busiest street IN boston,
Only narrow space is left open ana
scores of vehicles going in either oil,
recton are compelled to saw by, and
the danger of collision is too great 10
admit of It's being permitted. III is
question between accommodation to the
driver of a jobwagon and a merchant ana
an Inconvenience and danger to scores OF
people daily. Added to this oblectlo3 n
able practice is the habit of rev
drivers of stopping their teamslust at the
turn from the square into Westminster
street so that, at this point, where
there is plenty of room, we often nave
a lam of teams for which there is no
occasion or excuse. This is caused by
the thought,essness or ignorance OF a
few men. who do business on our
STREETS. So far no accident has hap.
pencd, but it is only a question OF
tlays when we will have smashup be'
cause the custom is growing every day.
WHY wouldn't it be as we'll for team
to pull up parallel with the walk while
unioading? OF course it would make
a little extra work for the driver and
perhaps take little more time, but
it would leave the street open for travel
and benefit hundreds where now only
two or three are suited. Last Satur-
day afternoon the jam in fornt OF Dun
hams market was disgracefu and I'M
necessary. caused by the mulishness
of the driver of truck team in draw
ing across the street and leisurely I'M
loading regardless of the rights of the
public. Let our city fathers take
notice of this place and practice and
see if it can not be modified somewhat.

the recipients of many valuable and
useful presents.
Foot Ball Game
The football game Saturday after
noon between the Hinsdales and the
home team resulted in victory for the
latter bv score of to 0. The game
was full of exciting plays from the
start and neither side scored in the
first half. In the last half the home
team clearly demonstrated their SUI
perior ability in team work, some great
gains being made by Joubert and
Gray. This and the superior all round
work of Clark and Bacon were the
features of the game.
