!, MT. Staples opinion. The wood blocks should also be used where there is little heavy traffic as they are liable to Ideteriorate rapidly where heapy traf- f1c is put over them.
 l For heavy traffic streets, and where noise is not objectionable, MT. Staples ;recce lmends granite blocks. These blocks wear we'll. and the street Is al- ways easy to repair. The cost of these granite blocks is higher than, other paving also but taking every thing into consideration, they will probably prove cheaper in the end.
 Abolish ssTs, Rails.
 Another improvement advocated by MT. Staples, and one which he at one time secured in part measure for Bridgeport, is the use of the groove rail instead of the "T"' rail by the Connecticut trolley company. "The "T" rail is a source of constant dan ger in wet and slippery weather Tor the reason that in order to cross the tracks a vehicle must be turned at a sharp angle and this generally if not always causes the rear of the vehicle to skid. While some of the skidS are not very bad still every once in while, an accident happens which may be traced directly to these rails. It is Q common sight in a city where the "T' rails are used to see heavy truck try for more than block to get out of the car tracks, and finally have to give it up until a more fav- orable spot presents itself.
 Not>only is the "T' rail dangerous to vehicles, but it is also hindrance to traffic and involves the traffic situ- ation a great deal more than neces- sary. It is easily seen that in a street on which there are two ,sres of SHr tracks there cannot be a great mar gin at either side especially when there are vehicles parked beside the cur. If a slow moving truck of any sort gets caught in the car tracks and is unable to get out because of the .'T' rails everything coming along behind 1t is necessarily slowed down, fast and slow moving vehicles alike.
 The usc of the groove rail would prevent this as it has been definitely demonstrated that it is easy to cross these rails at long angle and equal ly easy for vehicles to get out of them. The long angle which can be taken in crossing prevents the skid- ding which generally occurs in cross ing the "T'' ra!is at the sharp, anxlA

Idonly applies to jitney drivers but to all other operators of machines who are charged with reckless driving. It Is the one way in which to stop many of the automobile accidents which are occurring every day right in this city.
 Notice that I said many of the accidents. There are a great num- ber of automobile accidents, so called in which the automobilist iss abso- lutely guiltless of all blame. These are the cases where the pedestrians themselves are the offenders. firmly believe that the time is coming when vehicles of all kinds will have the right of way on the streets. and the pedestrians will have to recognize this right. We hear 8 lot of talk after every accident of peoples rights, etc. The answer to that is by the Yankee method-another question. For what were the streets provided? Were they built for walkers, and the sidewalks laid merely for purposes of orna- ment? Streets were put through for vehicles, and they should have the first and principal rights on them.
 One of the bills to come before the present legislature Is one which provides taking automobile affairs away from the secretary of state and creating a separate department for these affairs only. The automobile club of which MT. Staples is an ar dent members, is heartily in favor of this measure. They feel and auto mobilists in general feel, that the af- fairs dealing with machines have be- come so large that it is beyond the possibilities of one man to take care of them and still: devote part of his time to other matters s
 Against GlaEing Light.
 Another measure in which the au- to club is vitally interested is some legislation to enforce the discontinu- ance >of glaring headlights on the road. Anyone who has ever driv- en car knows said MT. Staples, with how much danger driving is at tended when battleship searchlights are mounted on automobiles. To meet one of these things head on while driving along a narrow road is as bad as meeting a madman on. the edge of a precipice. There are several good varieties of headlights on, the market at the present time which throw enough light for the mo- torist to see without being the cause

of the other fellow driving off into the ditch. The law should compel people to adopt some such lights as these,
 The automobile club of the city is now composed of about 500 mem bers and while they have no meetings room or club house, they are never theless in rather close communication most of the time The membership of the club costs but $5 year, the money being expended in ways that the directors of the club deem best for the welfare of automobilists. One use for the money is best demonstrat- ed by citing concrete example. : Not so very long ago at a crossing in the neighborhood of Bridgeport a man was coming down a steep grade cn 9 bicycle. when he lost control of the machine. An automobilist com ing up the grade noticed that the man on thea, wheel was in danger and swung his machine out of the road so that the front wheels were almost overhanging the ditch on one side. The bicyclist crashed into the car and was immediately killed. Eventually the motorist was exonerated in court, OaC SIO oNAANeSy SseSSS EO lice were stationed at the corner and arrested all motorists who neglected to blow their horns at this particular crossing.
 Club to Rescue
 All offenders were haled into court and were about to meekly pay their respective fines when representative of the automobile club with a lawyer in tow reached the court of justice. The state policemen were put on the stand and testified that none of the motorists arrested were going at any thing near a reckless or dangerous speed. or even so fast that they could not have stopped had the necessity arisen. It was then found that the law as correctly interpreted was that motorists were to drive with reason able care, and all of the arrested ones had been doing this.
 It is in cases like this that the auto club is of the greatest benefit to it's members. It must not be thought that the club is against the proper enforcement of the auto laws, for on the contrary they frequently report encroachments on it themselves. It is only in cases where some of the officials either through ignorance of

 Two Remedies.
 .sWhat should be done with the jit- ney service is either to form a large company which shall control all the jitneys now in operation in the ciyt. and have this company founded with substantial financial backing in or der that it may be held liable for damage, in the same way that your street railways and railroads are held accountable or pass bill through the legislature of the state which com pels the drivers of jitneys to be, bond ed for a substantial sum. In either of these cases of these cases the vic- tim of jitney accident is sure of ex- tracting some compensation for in juries received. Private owners are even now under somewhat similar cir curnstances for those who are neither insured or have not financial backing ans.ugh to pay damages, have cars that gre generally worth nearly if not quite the amount of damages asked for.
 '.An event of the second alterna- tive mentioned above it would also tend to eliminate some of the useless jitnies now operating in the cities Many of the men who are now driv- Ing jitneys would be unable to pro- cure the necessary bond. either be- cause they have regulations as reck- less drivers, because they have no one with financial backing who is willing to take a chance, or because they are so ignorant of the first principles of driving a car that bondsnan would consider himself among the most foolish of mortals to provide bond for a man whose elementary knowledge of motor mechanics would render him liable to be the chief participant in an accident at almost any time.
 Enough Jits Now.
 There are more than sufficient jit- neys now in operation in the city to take care of those desiring their ser- vices, the result being that in order to catch the extra nickel, many of the operators take hairbreadth chances which would not be considered under ordinary conditions of operations. These reckless jitney drivers should be prosecuted every time that they are brought into court. They should, if found guilty, be punished with the maximum penalty provided. This not

l the law or through an Overconscious pursuit of duty, make arrests that are not justifable either in the word or spirit of the law, that the auto club and a lawyer come to the rescue of the unfortunate.
 The auto club also is yitally inter- ested in automobile legislation of all kinds and generally has a represen- tative of either the state or some city association present at the meetings of legislature to insure the automobil- ists getting the square deal" There lis a tendency among great many people to look at the auto question and its rights from one side only, the fact never for a moment entering their heads that the autoists have their rights as we'll. These ''one- sided. people are the cause of 8 great deal of annoyance and trouble to the motorists for they are constantly at the bottom of agitation of some sort or other which would infringe on the rights and pleasures of the car own CTS.
 Started sSilent Policemen" The local club in Bridgeport was the first to inaugurate the silent po- licemen'' to be found at many of the corners in the city. They secured permission from the traffic depart ment to erect these posts as an ex-. pertinent and so successful have they proven that the police authorities have bought and installed many of them. The club also was one of the factors in placing, the various signs throughout the city both in regula- ton of traffic and also to parking.
 While this part of the country is rather we'll fixed as regards to signs at the cross roads, the club has at it's own expense placed signs at crossings where none were provided, enabling the tourist to be definitely certain of just where he is going and how far it is.
 Favors Block Paving.
 MT. Staples when asked what he thought of the paving question which is at the present time one of Bridge ports vital problems, said that he would divide the paving question into two different parts. For those streets where noise is to be reduced to a min- imum he advocates the use of wooden blocks These cost more than sev- eral other kinds of paving but for general results they are the best in
