 THAT .AUTOlSIS GIVE
 WARNING AT CORNERS
Justice Believes Ten Accused AutOists Acted Within Reason, and Dis
 charges Them.
FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, Aug 31.-Justice Bacon Wakenan after listening to the evil dence in the cases of ,the ten autoists arrested on evidence furnished by State Policeman Frank Virelli, and after visiting Kings Highway and Tunxis. Hill road, where the motorists are alleged to have violated the law, yesterday gave out a decicion dis charging the automobilists The jus tee is of the opinion that the auto lsts used reasonable care as they ap- preached the corner. He, however, makes a few suggestions which if needed would greatly lessen not only the number of accidents in Fairfield but elsewhere. His decision follows:
 Tn the entitled three cases where III the accused were brought before me charged with the violation on Sep tember F, of the motor vehicle laws of this state, wherein they failed to give a timely signal by bell or horn when approaching the corner and curve formed by the junction of the O4d, Kings Highway and Tunxis Hill road in the town of Fairfield the Court finds that upon the evidence presented to it at the hearing when all the parties thatNwere accused were duly heard in person and by counsel, that the conditions existing at the time of the alleged offense charged, and the character of the location at which the aHged offenses were com Tpitted, were such that reasonable care did not require that the accused should do ifferently than they did; therefore, the accused are found not guilty and are hereby discharged"
 However, the court feels that while the conditions existing at this point, as shown by the evidence presented at this time, did not warrant the giv- iTS a% ricr h. i, Hna11 oA court feels that at this point and at othere of similar nature and charac- ter the part of wisdom would seem to be the sounding of the horn or the giving of some signal indicating the approach of motor vehicle"
 Fair progress is being made by the Warren Bros. Company in the laying of the bithulithic pavement in Spring street. The roadway to the east is being swept clean and scraped to level over which the combination of gravel, asphalt and other materials are laid. That part which has been laid makes a fine appearance. If the pavement will wear as good as it looks then local residents can rest assured that they are getting something well worth while.
