good-hearted autoist to move his car from the restricted zone.
 Should Change Trolley Stops.
 One solution of the problem would be to change the stopping place of the trolley cars and also to see that the cars did not wait around 10 or 10 minutes in the busiest traffic spot Tn town. At present the trOlleyS all come as far as the Hotel Clarendon before stopping. That brings them into the heart of traffic where every thing is so crowded. If the cars stop ped for but a few seconds the trouble would not be so great but many times the minutes run into large numbers which lapse between the arrival and departure of the cars.
 If the town officials would com plain it is proba5le the Connecticut company would change the stopping place. The spot in front of the Bap- tlst church or the old Russell saloon on East Main street would make better stopping place and would al low for the movement of traffic in all directions at the same time.
 Make Parking Area.
 There is plenty of space to park motor vehicles in and about the cen ter of the town Central Square is plenty wide for parking and contin- uous traffic, yet it is the least used spot of any in the center. West Main street along the business section is also fit for parking purposes while the whole of East Main street is available. The spot on Whiting street from Central Square to Maple street should be restricted possibly to five minutes. The congestion now noticed and the many complaints received concerning the traffic would cease if such rules were put into effect.
 Complaints of Speeding.
 West Main street is a continuous speedway for autoists at all times of the day and night and the residents have become so incensed at the hab- 1t that many are complaining and asking for some action. The street has been favored ever since the com pletion of the five mile stretch of ma cadam from this town to Bristol. It is not enough for the fast travellers to use the secluded sections for speed ing but the practice is indu1ged in until the center of the town is reached.
 A short time ago an automobile came from Bristol at such a rapid rate of speed that when the Main street railroad crossing was reached the car jumped into the air and headed up the street to the passen- ger station. Other reports have been heard of exceptional cases of speed ing where accidents were narrowly aVerted.
 The report was around two weeks T., highway looking for violators of the speed laws but thus far no results have been heard of their work.
 Real Estate Men Depart.
 The men who have been here sell ling Victory Terrace, located in the eastern section of the town, made their departure today. It was an- nounced yesterday that the entire plot had been sold The men repre- scented the Eastern Land Trust Com pany which buys and sells land in all parts of the country. The Plainville land was considered among the best for business purposes which the men have sold in this section of the coun- try. Almost one-half of the land was sold to people residing in New Bri- tain. When the men left today they took with them a Plainville man, Ulysses Avery, who was recently re- turned from service in France. Avery is an experienced automobile man and went in the capacity of chauffeur for the company.
