It was explained today by one of the members of the commit tee in charge that the petition was placed in Barratiero's store so that that people employed in factories in New Britain might have a chance to sign it, It was pointed out that the two stores in which the petitions had already been placed, close at o'clock each night, before the fac tory employees have a chance to get to their homes. MT. Barratiero's place of business is opening eve nings.
 Emil O. Shjerden. member of the traffic committee, said today that the petitions will be taken in tomor- row night and he said that those de- string to sign should do so before that time.
 It is expected that the three peti- tions will be presented to an official of the Connecticut company on Fri day.
