DO NOT GIVE AWAY PART OF THE CENTER

The plan Of the mayor to cut six Feet off the sidewalk on the west side Of the Center in order to provide stand for Jitneys, must be the mayors idea of a municipal joke. Such humor should not emanate from the city hall, however as some of the unsuspecting bourgeoisie may lake such a suggestion seriously.
 There are six splendid trees on sAhe west side of the Center; also three street lamps and poles and three fire plugs. All of these are near the curb. The trees are among the best examples of forestry st the Center and could not be eliminated without storm of pro- ,fest. It is the trees and the monu- msnt that add distinction to the Center, preventing the downtown i aection from having the drab. mon- ! otonous aspect of similar sections in &ome other cities.
 The plan would be of little value sn the future. There isn't enough room at the Center for all the jitney busses in town; and even if all Of them could squeeze alongside of the
 
 Center at present, others may be established in the near future and the jam would get worse. There is not enough room at the Center for all the trolley cars and jitney busses and there is no reason why they should be permitted to use city park as a transfer point. There is plenty of room elsewhere in the downtown sections for jitney stands. As for trolley cars the mayor and Common Council could well inform the Connecticut company that it is to keep its vehicles moving discon- tlnuing the present system of clut- tering up the east side of, the Center with strings of waiting cars.
 The plan to build a Shelter" at ahe south end of the Center for the joint use of car and jitney passcn- gers is based upon the the assump- tion that the Center was meant for a universal transfer point for trolley and jitney passengers. When the eity has 100000 populatton-which will not be many years hence-con- ditions will be much worse than they are at present, and jitney owners of their own volition will want to keep : away from this vicinity.
 About that time it will be desira- 6le to order both trolley cars and iitneys away from this congested point if the latter do not avoid it Of their own accord. At that time, or before, a waiting station worthy the name can be constructed elsewhere fin the downtown section. It will be as necessary to order the transpor- fation companies to quit the Center as a termini for reasons of public safety.
 To cut off six feet from the Gen. Ter for the use of jitncys would be retarding the day when better ar rangenent can be made for handling traffic, in addition to defacing the beauties of the city's most conSpicu- GUS plot of ground, This ground IS valuable, 1t belongs to the city, and private companies have no rights upon 1t that the city does not give them. Neither the city or the Com mon Council have the moral or legal right to give away public propef'! 10 transportation companies.
