No ChangeIn Traffic Situation; JitneySRun
 Minus Delay, Friction
Suggestion Made That the Trolleys Be Barred From the Corner of Fairfield Avenue and Main Street In the Future.

There was no change in the trolley-jitney situation today. The jitneys were taking ample care of the traffic and there were no complaints to police and no accidents which could be marked up against the jit-+ ney's solution of the traffic problem here.
 President Storrs told a Times reporter that he had no state ment to make of any kind upon the situation.
 The expedition with which traffic moves at the corner of Main and Fairfield avenue caused a man who wsa an interested spectator to remark that it seemed to him that the solu- tion of the traffic problem in this city was to bar the trolley cars from this important intersection and make them take other routes so that private cars and jitneys can get through without waiting for the slow moving and cumbersome trolley cars to get under way.
 Owners of private cars and busin ess men at this corner were loud in their praise of the way the traffic was handled at this point and called at tention to the fact that yesterday and today the neighborhood was noticea- bly, free from the footing of horns by cars who formerly were held for sev- eral minutes by the trolleys.
 The drivers of the jitney buses also assert that they were able to make two trips now where they were able to make only one when the trolleys blocked traffic at all important inter- sections.
 The jitney inspectors and police stationed at the principal corners to direct traffic stated that traffic moved very smoothly today, both drivers of both private cars and jitneys having been accustomed to the rules that were put in operation yesterday and the fast moving cars naturally took to the center of the streets and allow ed the jitneys to take the curb where they could load and unload passen- gers.
 The crowds today were handled even better than yesterday and it was a rare occurrence when a pas senger had to wait very long to get a jitney in any desired direction.
 With the traffic on the mail lines running so smoothly the officers of the Bus Association took up the matter of furnishing the outlying sections with better and more frequent service and they claim that by the end of the week the jitney service will be so good that the travelling public will never want the trolleys back on the streets.
 The jitney officials say that they have received no complaints of any [ kihd@Sut that a number of people have suggested where improvements in the service might be made. These they say they are always pleased to get and immediately act on these sug- gestions if they are feasible. The headquarters of the jitney men on Water street is a very busy place these days Backed up to the curb there are at all times from five to ten buses which are ready to be sent to any part of the city where there is need. Here also are a number of officials of the bus associations who assign the buses to the different routes and distribute the placards which show the destination of the bus and the fare charged.
 Additional buses are continually arriving from Boston and New York and New Jersey and the buses from New Haven, Hartford and Waterbury are being released as fast as the new buses are put in commission.
 The new buses are of a larger type than the ordinary bus and provide
