ONE WAY CARS
 IN CITY CENTER
 TO END CROWDS?
Plan to Single Track Fair field Avenue and Cannon
 Street is Advanced.

A new plan to relieve congestion of traffic at Fairfield avenue and Main streets, add Cannon street to the active retail district now extending towards Park avenue and expedite trolley transportation east and west bound has seemingly met with favor among business men of this city where it is being widely discussed.
 The plan which also includes = tending Cannon street through to Water, elimination of sharp angle at the intersection of Cannon street with Fairfield avenue at Oourtland,, and wid dening of Fairfield avenue between CourtIand street and Park avenue to 80 feet has the additional feature of costing the general taxpayers noth- ing.
 As repeated to a reporter for The Farmer yesterday by a we'll known real estate dealer the plan is to run but one line of trolley traffic west bound on Fairfield avenue from Water street viaduct to Courtland street; Cannon street to be cut through from Main to Water streets, and an eastbound line of trolleys run from Courtland to Water street.
 The south side of Fairfield avenue, between Court1and street to Park ave- nue, would, be widened at this time, because few buildings now abut the building line, principal of which is the building occupied by the Craw- ford Laundry, the remainder being nearly all small buildings which could be moved back at little expense.
 It is proposed to assess for the damages in widening Fairfield avenue and extending Cannon street only, upon those persons who will benefit by the improvements that will make upper Fairfield avenue and Cannon street with it's extension hourishing business district.
 The only seeming opposition heard to the plan is that of persons who point to the fact that Cannon street is now somewhat congested by the parking of automobiles on that thoroughfare. On the other hand there are those who assert that with line in operation few persons will leave their cars standing there even though ordinances are not passed re- stricting the practice.
 It is likely that the plan will yet come before the City Planning Com mission for approval and may be presented before the common council.

PhiIo Nichols Dies
 At Newtown, Aged 84
Special to The Farmer.J

Newtown. May 2o.-Philo Nichols, one of Newtown's substantial and widely known citizens, died at his home near the railroad station yester- recurring Nattacks of the grip which prostrated him for several weks.
 For more than 50 years MT. Nichols was engaged in business here, suc- cessfuI1y as a farmer, marketman and butcher: but as dealer in lumber and builders supplies he is best known to the present generation in Newtown and vicinity. His dealings were extensive, and he amaSsed good sized fortune, if not great wealth. which he invested we'll. He was a well informed man, and took 8 lively interest in affairs of his town, though never seeking office. His business acumen was often enlisted in the set clement of estates before the probate court: his knowledge of the value of investment securities was accurate, and his advice in such matters was largely sought. He was a director of and heavy depositor in the local bank, and ever active in preaching the gos- pei of thrift to his fellow townsmen.
 He is survived by his widow, one daughter, Mrs. Hobart Curtis, and a granddaughter, Miss Marion Curtis, al of whom reside in the family resi- dence.
 He was a Mason and member of the Episcopal church. His age was S7 years. Newtown is his native town and and he is a descendant of pioneers in it's settlement. Hi wife also is a de- scendant of a family, the G1overs, who took prominent parts in the early his tory.
 The news of his sudden death came as a shock to the townspeople, all of whom regret his death. Arrange ments for the funeral have not yet been completed.
 Francis Scan1on of Bridgeport is at home an enforced vacation from his employment due to a sprained wrist.
 Turney Northrop of Hopeweu dis trict has purchased home in Step ney to which he will remove his fam lily and give up farming.

Talking To Live

No man in Bridgeport is rich enough to buy, for his own exclusive use, what the city can give him. No man in Bridgeport is too poor to en- joy what the city can give him.
 Here is the common ground upon which we all can meet if we are for Bridge port.
 It is not an ideal city. We don't want it to be an ideal city. We never want the time to come when we will not be working to make it better than it is.
 First of all we must have homes. We must have INSURED PROSPERITY to make these homes permanent.
 There are plenty of people ready to tell you how difficult the problem is. They will make speeches at every opportunity with no provocation whatever.
 They will tell you the real busi- hess, just now, is to make all the money we can and let the need for homes, and all the problems in- volved in housing, take care of them selves. It isn't true.
 We must do some clear thinking for our own account, unless we want to join those trailers who let themselves be led about by the polished gentlemen who ap- peal to cold -blooded selfishness, or by the spel1binders who spout high sounding words so earnestly we are almost tempted to believe. ~

When the gentlemen who talk to live and live to talk, whether they are paid thousands or tens of thOus- ands by the rich or few hundreds by the poor, begin to sell their wares, it is time for the sensible man to get his brain busy, and begin thinking how he can keep what he has.
 These performers may be worth while for amusement - we are sadly lacking, in amusements in Bridgeport - if they don't cost too much.
 But they are not a good" business pro- position
 Providing homes for those who need them is good business proposition = the best kind of proposition - no matter what the word-vendors say.
 The difficulty of the problem may be good EXCUSE but it is not a good REA- SON for ignoring the situation.
 If Bridgeport has not enough brains of its own to solve this prob lem, or if it has not enough money to buy the brains, we will have to muddleN along as best we can with absolute certainty that every man, woman and child in the whole city is bound to get the worst of it.
