CRASH ON sTRAIGHTAwAYs
More Accidents Occur Where Driver,
 Have Clear Vision

More motor vehicle accidents happen in Connecticut on straight highways where the sight line is unobstructed than on hills or curves or at intersec- tions, it has been found by new an- alysis of last years casualties which has been completed by the state motor vehicle department. Moreover, in the great majority of cases, it is when the road surface is in it's safest condition that accidents happen.
 Out of 20,7sl motor vehicle accidents officially reported during 1921. i0.666 occurred on straightaway stretches where the drivers of the eOlliding cars had a clear view of the objects with which they collided. Intersecting roads were the scenes of 1895 of the accidents. most of them being due to the fact that one or both vehicles, in cases of collisions between two ears, approached the intersections at speeds too great to be checked upon pereeiving the approach of the second car. There were 3.566 reports of failure Co grant the right of way at street crossings.
 There were $40 accidents on curves. frequently caused by drivers of two vehicles going in opposite directions "hugging" the inside" of the bend in the road to help them maintain high speed. The record shows l ,l69 cases of driving on wrong side of road which resulted in accidents. and IF of cutting corners, and 26 of passing on curves with similar results. In 1,0l0 cases, the automobiles involved in acci- dents were going down hill at the time of the accidents. and ITO were ascend ing hills which interrupted the sight line when accidents occurred.
 Among the information required by the department in all reports of acci- dents, Is a statement as tO the eondi- ton of the road surface at the scene. Approximately l5.000 of the 20,7Sl ae- cidents occurred on road surface that was reported by those involved and other witnesses as good In 593 ac- the road surface was rough, in 3.l96 it was wet. in 4e8 if was covered by snow, in 1 LOIS ice made it slippery, in is6 it was sandy, and 5l. muddy

CITY MAY HAVE A FREE
 PARKING PLACE SOON
MATTER TO BE TAKEN UP WITH COMMON COUNCIL TUESDAY NIGHT.-SITE RECOMMENDED IS AT FOOT
 OF BUNDY STREET NEAR PUTNAM BUICK CO
Dectors Chamber of Commerce Endorse Proposed Highway
 Changes Between Danelson and Norwich

regular meeting next Tuesday eve. ming.
 Will Doubtless Cooperate ! lt is assumed that the common council will be asked to properly light the parking place and also to po- lice 1t. The committee recommend. ed that the parking place be made available Wednesday and Saturday nights from , to II o'clock.
 As the common council has wrestl- ed with the public parking problem on several occasions without solution. realizing such parking space would be of great benefit 10 the city, there seems little doubt that cooperation to full degree may be expected of the city. In this event public park ing place seems assured.
 Endor.e Highway Plan
 The directors had caiied to their attention the plan being put through by the United Commercial Travellers Association and the Eastern Connec- tieut Civic Association for changing parts of the highway between Dan ielson and Norwich. The plan, if it is put through. will eliminate all of i the dangerous grade crossings, mar row overhead passes and bridges on the route. It will have no effect on Putnam except to give Putnam citi- zens a better route and a route free from danger and grade crossings to New London.
 The plan calls, among other chang es, for the elimination of Bishop h. A.-s1 tral Village and just north of Jewett 1 City, At Danielson il will not be necessary to cross the railroad track as the route will be down Broad street and the Green Hollow road.
 Will Effect Jewett City
 Jewett City will be the most ef- feeted for it will lose some of the through traffic now passing through that borough. The new highway passes to the west of Jewett City in stead of through it and over the pres ent grade crossing IL will also go around the main business section of Central Village.
 Putnam's only interest in the mat ter is safer route to New London and the beach resorts and the elimi- nation of danger spots that take a steady toll of life every year. The plan was adopted with the following vote:
 At a meeting of the directors of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce held at the Putnam Inn, Monday eve ming, August 24, t was unanimously voted that the directors endorse the proposed new layout of the highway from Norwich to Danielson as sub. mitted by the Eastern Connecticut Civic Association and the United Commercial Travellers of America.

If the common council will cooper. ate with the Putnam Chamber of Com. merce II now seems assured that the eity VIII have a free parking place Tor automobiles, Wednesday and Sat. urday evenings. The site for the parking ground will be at the foot ot Bundy street near the garage of the Putnam Buick Company and will ac. commodate about seventy-fiye cars.
 For two weeks Walter J. Bartlett and Charles Seder, a committee of the directors of the Chamber of Com meree, worked on the problem. At the meeting of the directors at the Putnam Inn, Monday evening. Mr. Bartlett reported for the committee m part as follows:
 Committee Reports
 The committee inspected Canal street and thought 1t quite a favor able location if permission from the abutters on the east side of the street could be obtained. This place would accommodate about seventy-five cars.
 A vacant lot near the old Man hasset Company's plant was found to be an excellent parking ground, level,
 
 twice as many ears as needed. How ever, when the committee came to view the hill. Harris street. that 1t was necessary to manipulate in going to and from this spot they de. cided that this place would not ans. wer requirements.
 The place north of Keith's garage was inspected and Mir. Keith inter. viewed. It was learned that an oil company controlled the right of way onto this lot and that Mir. Keith let a building to George Harper which was used for parking purposes and he did not feel that 1t would be fan to his tenant to allow parking in competition with Mir. Harper. The committee thought it possible that these obstacles could be overcome and an attempt was made to see Mir. Harper but he was not in.
 \ place north of the state arinOry on Livery street was inspected By doing some cleaning this would ae- eommodate from thirty-five to forty cars but there would be n bad back out" as there was no way to go around.
 Recommends Place
 The committee was most agreeably surprised by what they found near the garage of the Putnam Buick Com pany and Mr. Bruce, the proprietor. met them very graeiously and seem ingly favored the project in which the committee was interested He told the committee that if the city wanted to use the space for a public parking ground they could do so. The committee suggested that at least one and possibly two electric lights would be needed. They estimated that il would accommodate about seventy five ears and thought it would be an ideal place. The location was reeom- mended by the committee.
 It was then suggested, and voted, that the report be accepted and that a committee of five, including the two members of the present commit tee, be appointed to take the matter up with the common council at the

SEEK LEASES HERE
FOR OIL OPERATIONS

Frank Turner of Arizona, represent
ing a group of oil operators, includ-
ing himself, is in Randolph county
this week in the interest of his group
Mr.. Turner and his associates have
been operating in the Oklahoma and
Texas oil fields for a number of years
The object of his visit to this section
is to consider the development, for oil,
of the territory south and east Of
Black river from Pocahontas, extend
ing a short distance into Lawrence
county.
In an interview with a Star Herald
reporter first of the week, Mr.. Turner
outlined the proposition which he was
presenting to the land owners, as fol
lows "If he can secure sufficient
acreage (Which is to include practical
ly all of the land in the aforementiOn-
ed district) he promises to put down
three test wells in different parts of
the territory, the first well to be start
eu Nllulu SlA iuohlhS' thC SSNOhu WIN
in nine months and the third within a
year. The land is TO be held in escrow
by the operators until the first well is
started, when the leases are to be de-
livered to the operators"
This proposition, according to Mr..
Turner, requires no payment of money
by any land owner. He says that all
he asks is legal promise that the
leases will be delivered to him when
actual operations begin. He and his
associates, he stated, would bear all
the expense of the operations and no
stock would be offered for sale.
Mr.. Turner came here, he said, with
out knowledge that there had ever
been any previous oil operations in
the territory. However, the company
which put down Holland Well No.
has surrendered its charter and the
leases held by it are void.
The oil man says that the three wells
will be put down in the most advan-
tageous places, according to the re-
ports of their geologists, and that he
does not know whether or not drilling
will be resumed on the Holland Well
No. l. This hole was capped when
the previous drilling operations were
terminated.
