Heat Continues-Epworth League
 Netmen Defeated.
 The new trolley stop on the west side of Central square has proved more satisfactory than the former one on the eastern side, First Selectman William J. Johnson said this morning, but admitted that the long periods for which the Connecti- cut Co. cars remain stopped in the middle of the street make a condi- tion by no means ideal. He has hope that the trolley company will rear range it's schedule in some way so that cars will come to the end of the line here, discharge their pas sengers and take on new ones, and return immediately to New Britain, as the present system of having car in the center of the highway is both an inconvenience and a danger. When asked as to the success of the no parking edict in force near the trolley stop, Mir. Johnson stated he believed it was working out well and was being generally observed as well as possible. The main objec- ton of autoists is that they can not park at the head of Whiting street and the trolley can.
