Steps looking toward the safe. guarding of the most dangerous crossings in PlaInvile will be taken by the local Chamber of Commerce., 1t was decided last night at the monthly meeting of that body, and an effort will be made to reduce the number of accidents which occur at the worst street intersections, The chamber took up the matter. the opinion being that Blossoms Corner, the corner of Broad and Whiting streets and the intersection of West Main and Washington streets were tho danger spots 10 be eliminated if possible.
 The use Of overhead warning flights, such as are used in New Britain was suggested, and the idea met with favor, These lights are hung above the middle of the streeI Iintersection and. in addition 10 hay ing q largo cross plainly discerniblc on them, also cast a red glow upon the road In each direction. It is thought that the use of these would appraise unfamiliar motorists with the fact that they were approaching pad corners, thereby causing them to slow Up and cutting down the possibility of accidents.
 The chamber also considered talk ing steps to minimize the danger at the West Main street railroad cross ing. This is placed at such an angle that, when q Bristol trolley is stand ing at the end of the line. the gate tender Is invisible 10 autoists ap- preaching tho center from Forest vile. The lowering of the gates Is | therefore not always noticed until the last minute. and only the best Of brakes prevent crashing through the gates onto the tracks. Both mat i ters were referred 10 the public utilities committee of the chamber for action.
