HEAVY. VEHlGULAR TRAVEL
Some Towns Would Forbid 1t During
Certain Seasons.

One of the most important bills
which came before the committee on
roads. bridges and rivers in Hartford,
last week was that which gave to the
selectnen of town The right to pro
hibit the use of heavy vehicles on
highways during certain periods of
the year. 1t received the support of
many from the country towns and
drew forth the criticism of nanufac-
turers. or those engaged in hauling

said that in country towns it was the
practice for some people to haul heavy

when the frost was coming out of the
ground heavy loads of wood, he main
tanned, were often drawn over the
roads in the spring with the result
that the roads are cut into deep r2ts
and impaired for a long time. He
explained that the fact was not in
tended to apply to roads on which
state money had been expended.
An opponent of the bill came in the
person of c. M. Robinson; counsel for
the Connecticut Automobile Associa-
ton. He thought the idea of the
trainers of the bill was all right, but
that they had gone about the matter
in an entirely wrong way. He said
that instead of making it matter of
weight, the law should be drawn on
the basis of much weight according
to the width of the tire. It was
well known fact, he said, that the
narrow tire with a certain weight did
a great deal more damage than a wide
tire with the same weight. He main
tanned that the bill was revolutionary,
in that it gave too much power to the
selectmen of a town and that they
might take it into their heads to close
a road for twelve months in the year.
John Sanford, Jr, Of Hamden, who
is in the lumber business, also thought
the bill should not become law. He
said a man to take a. load to market
would have to look up the condition
in every town which he was to pass
through in order to know the condi-
ton of the roads and what the Sc
lectmen had done in closing them

TRAVEL ING SALESMAN"
PLEASES PARK PATRONS

The zirst act of The Travelling

knowledge that the railroad company
is to make the improvements, and at

governing the sale of land for I'M

she retired. I could read in it a look
of triumph, but I think no one else

The moment the curtains had fallen

that had not converted single one

They crossed to Count Vasca, and he

PARK THEATRE
Billie Burke.

1.-THE Mind the Paint Girl the
comedy drama by Sir Arthur Pinero,
in which Miss Billie Burke will be
seen at the Park Theatre tomorrow
evening, deals with the private life
that is the life off the stage-of the
girls (some of them well past their
girlhood) who sing and dance in So
called musical comedy and their ad-
mirers, the boys (some of them
bald heaaad and ventripotent fathers
of families) who see them home from
the theater, meet them at supper,
make them birthday presents and oc-
casfonaIly seek their hands in mar
riage. Lily Parraden, the heroine of
the play whom Miss Burke imper-
sonates so admirably according to all
accounts, is of humble origin, her
father being a small grocer in Ken
nington and her mother almost a
miracle of vulgarity.
mo character created on the stage
would be more real, more sympathetic
than the happy-go-lucky heroine of
this play says Charles F'rohhnan.

great, genuine and typical of her day
as F'rou-Frou was of hers, but she is
greater because she's an Anglo-Saxon
