 Dangerous conditions at the june ton of Pond and North Pond streets, over which hundreds of school chill dren pass daily. has caused a request for connecting bridge over the rail- road tracks at this point to protect lives. The city planning commission has the matter under advisemcnt and the new city council will discuss the problem as one Of its first questions for decision. Tho children of the Barnes tract of the Bristol Realty Co. must cross over the tracks each time to and from school and many close slaves have taken place when express and other trains have thun- dered down. In former years, the crossing was rated as one Of the worst in the city and the "rockcut" as it was termed. always took its toll of victims each year. With the addi- tional traffic. immediate action is de- sired by the householders of that sec tion. who will appear before the coun- cil when the question comes up at the next meeting.
 West Finds Lose
 In reVersa Of their usual form, the West Ends lost on Saturday night at Red Mems hall to the All-Collegian five by a score of 2a to IS. The To- calls were never in the running in the contest. which showed none of the usual playing speed Of the West Ends.

Both teams comprise some Of the best players Of this section so that Inc contest is anticipated to he a battle from the start. The Burlington five has not been de- 'cafed this season and sprung a big surprise on tho locals. who were cN. Dected 10 win easily over the small own aggfe eEation in their recent con est. The tables were nearly turned. however. by the Burlington boys. who played the locals off their feet.
