 John Lamb Denies Aspiration For Of fee Of seleetman-standrad 0n ta Buiid Soon - Mapiehurst to Sell Out--sIr. James III At Maplehurst, Four Of the yiolators who were to
 appear last evening to answer 10 the
 charge of driving to the left Of the
 traffic post In the center were before
 the court and were found guilty and
 assessed the costs of court. Joseph Farrell Of Waterbury, Eyh Carrel Of Cheshire. Adam Mnrkowisk
 Of Waterbury and Edward Dalton or
 Waterbury were the ones who were
 found guilty. Although there were others scheduled 10 appear they were
 not present but are expected 10 pre- sent themselves in a few days.
 The root of the trouble seemed to
 be the lack Of signs signifying the direction to. take in going to the various surrounding towns Although there are signs on the traffic post they are rather small.
 Although there had been agitation before for the erection of proper signs there has been no action taken an the matter and 1t is evident that unless some action is taken tho num- Der of violators of the traffic rule will continue to increase.
