MERCHANTS DISCUSS
 TRADING AT NOME
Movement FaYoring Campaign Started at Business Mems Meeting

A campaign of education by ad
 vertising methods to induce New
 Britain people to do their shopping
 Chamber of Commerce acting in con. junction with merchants if a plar
 proposed today to dealers in cloth. ing, dry goods, shoes, hats, millinery and furs, five and 10 cent stores and dry cleaning establishments, is adopted.
 The merchants mentioned repre-. sented the first of four groups who will meet this week in the forenoons at the Chamber of Commerce rooms to act upon a uniform closing sched- ule. The proposition to give the clerks a weekend holiday by closing the stores Saturday afternoons and evenings was voted down by this group and the former custom of clothing for a half day Wednesday was approved.
 Instead of keeping open until 6:15 o'clock it was voted to continue clos ing at 6 o'clock evenings except Sat urdays when the closing hour will be o'clock. Evenings before hoi- days, the closing hour approved by this particular group remains at G o'clock instead of 6:15. In addition to the three days preceding Christ mas, December 21, 22 and 24, it was voted to remain open until o'clock on the 18th as well.
 It was voted to close all day New Years. Washington's Birthday, Mem orial day, July 4th, Labor day, Thanksgiving and Christmas and a half day on Good Friday.
 Discuss Trading Here
 Considerable discussion followed concerning local people doing out of town shopping. The merchants seemed to be of the impression that local people do not patronize New Britain as much as they could to They contend that prices and quality would equal those of other cities.
 President John C. Loomis of the Chamber of Commerce suggested an extensive campaign of advertising un- der the auspices of the chamber, by the merchants, to edu- cate New Britain people to do their trading in the city. Various plans were proposed by other merchants, the one which seemed to meet with universal approval being the sug- ton that the campaign start with letter direct to local people and be followed up with an advertising cam- paign, which might continue for sev- .ral years.
 A first class advertising man would oe engaged and newspaper space used freely for the purpose. The sugges- ion met with universal approval and will be submitted to the other three groups, following which general merchants meeting probably will be ,alled to discuss the proposition.
 Tomorrow forenoon at 10 o'clock he jewellers, music dealers, stationers florists, furniture dealers and opti- 'ians will meet to discuss the same problems.

JUDGMENT RESERVED ON
SPUR TRACK DISPUTE
Counsel For City Insists New Chest
nut Street Rails Would
Menace school Children

In superior court at Hartford yes
terday Judgment was reserved in the
appeal of the City of New Britain on
the spur track case. The Connecticut
Co. through Attorney, Joseph p. Berry
argued that it would be to the COM
pany's convenience to have an adj
ditional spur track on Chestnut street,
as three more cars could then be
stored in the local barns and save
about $500 month now spent in
taking the cars to White Oak.
Through Judge John II. kirkham and
Attorney Donald Gaffney the city
voiced objection on the ground that
1t would be menace to hundreds of
school children, would further longest
traffic in the center of the city, and
would cause property to depreciate.
