 Announcement was made this morning form railroad circles that the new timetable, effective June IS, will give better service in leaving the city. The train out of here on Sat urday afternoons for New Britain and Hartford at 1a:12 o'clock day light saving time, which was discon- tinued in the schedule, proposed by railroad officials last week at a meet ing Of local business men, will be retained on the timetable in response to requests. In addition the Sunday night train, which arrives here at 1920 o'clock from Hartford and which is scheduled 10 return to that city, "deadhcad", will carry pas scngers on the return trip. This will mean last train on Sunday nights after midnight, allowing serv- ice for patrons of Lake Compounce and for weekend visitors. This train will not run 10 Hartford on week nights as on those nights, a Boston express 10 Waterbury runs. With the VI Ailt AliAlINublN bNiANA service in and out of the city is con ceded by local people, although through trains have been taken off. The present arrangement is the best that the city has enjoyed In years, according to regular patrons Of the railroad.
 Will Discuss Housing
 Housing conditions of the city will receive serious consideration at the meeting of the local real estate board on June 10 at Mountainview park, the summer estate Of Councilman Homer H. Judd on Fall Mountain. After one of the JudJ's well known chicken dinners, the real estate men will take up the problem of relieving the sit uation. that has bothered the city for some time. Rents are anything but plentiful and in the majority of tho cases, houses are rented before one family leaves. In two cases today m the "Hilr" section, families moving in, had their furniture outside the doors, before the departing families had their removal trucks filled. Some families have offered bonus money to landlords for rents In several cases. This situation has existed for some time despite the repeated rumors of factory slaekening, which promised to drive families from the city. With the under supply of rental houses, relief in the situation would be effect cd, by a departure of families. Re ause Of this unfortunate state Of af- fairs, the local real estate men want 10 make some movement 10 retain all of the local population.
 Another factor in the acute housing situation has been a shortage or money in the banks as a none too plentiful supply has affect ed conditions materially.
