HISTORIC FLAG FLIES OYER STATE CAPITOL Formal Presentation Made Today of Standard That Was Used During 9
 . War in WaShinoton.

Hartford, Nov. Ex-Governor Hol- comb received today on behalf of the state the flag which flew over the capitol at Washington on the day the United States declared war on Ger many; also on the day the armistice was signed a year ago. It was pre- sented to Connecticut in recognition of first place taken by the state in oVer-SubscriptiOn to the Victory loan.
 The presentation took place at the capitol shortly after 2 o'clock by Mrs. Morgan c. Bulkeley and William H. Putnam of the Connecticut Liberty loan committee on behalf of the United States government. A repre- sentative of the treasury department was present. A few minutes after the flag was received by the governor it was hoisted to the top of the staff on the capitol. Later it will be given a possession of the state. The city battalion of the Connecticut State Guard constituted a guard of honor for the flag during the exercises.
 The flag presentation was the only formal recognition of armistice day in this city. Mayor I<insella suggested in a proclamation some days ago that the people pause from theeir tasks for moment at Il o'clock, the hour of the signing of the armiStice on November Il, 1918, as Q mark of re- spect to those who gave their lives in the great struggle.

WOULD REMOVE PART
 OF CENTRAL PARK
Councilman Gillin Has Plan foi Widening Roadway and Will Bring It to Common Council.

Councilman Charles A. Gillin has q plan which he claims is a feasible one and one by which the city of New Britain would profit in the way Of a beautified center and wider streets in the vicinity of city hall The plan calls for the cutting of the greater part of Central park away leaving but a small area surrounding the memo rial and would do away entirely with the crossswalks at this point.
 The movement, which has been agi- tated more or less for some time past, has met with approval from a num- Der of prominent business men and others interested in civic improve ment, Councilman Gillin says, and it is his plan to have the matter brought before an early meeting of the cOm- mon council By taking about 30 feet from the park on the north and south ends and a somewhat smaller stretch from each side the appearance of the park would not be materially affected The sidewalk would be re- moved to be replaced by an at tractive fence or shrubbery. With the money that would be saved the city annually in the way of improvem ents the city could afford to spend more in beautifying Walnut Hill park.
 Coming when many complaints arc being lodged by autoists and others who have occasion to use the high ways near city hall regarding the de- lays necessitated by the zone system and the need of more roadway at this point, the mover of the motion be- lieves it to be of particular advantage now. It is claimed that the emptying of cars causes line of autos to loe blocked at all corners near this point
