SUGGEST PLAZA
 BE USED FOR
 TRANSFER LOOP

Before a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Plaza committee yes terday, a number of suggestions was made for the use of the Plaza. Most of those present agreed that a transfer loop would be the real thing and would also relieve some of the traffic on Main street.
 Rev. James B. Nihil1, pastor of St. Augustine's church declared that all the improvement which could come to thebsPlaza is already achieved in the extension of John street, and the re- mainder of the property should be for business purposes. Father Nihill also suggested that the Connecticut com pany extend it's Oak street line out Pequonnock street to Park avenue, and run cars on new line from the Brooklawn section to the East Side factory district by the way of the Con- gress street bridge. This, he said. would take away a great deal of Main street traffic and make an entirely new cross-town line with Main and Congress streets as a ''second'' city thought the idea a good one.
 Samuel c. Parker, of the Rowland Dry Goods company, thought that some of the trolley traffic could well be taken from Main street by a trans fer point at the Plaza. Loading and discharging of passengers of troll ieys in the congested district con eumes too much time. he said.
 Samuel Sussman, of the Sussman FeUer company, thought that the property could be best used by re- turning it to business purposes through sale.

 President Harding is doing in a roundabout way that President Will son did in a direct way in 1918 = asking for the return of Congress of his own political faith.
 President Wilson's plea was for the continuance of a Congress 10 sus- tain an administration which was successfully conducting a, great war.
 President Hardings plea. on the other hand. in effect, asks the Amer ican people to condone the faults of a Congress already discredited In the eyes of the American people and de- nounced by Republican leaders themselves.''

'fWhen you go to a, ovie theatre and see a picture that is really good, clean and wholesome, do not be con tent to just think of it yourself but tell the theatre manager how much you enjoyed it and that you hope that he will have more of that type of pictures.
