Clark Dies At Age of 71-FootbalI | Games.
 Forestville is confronted with a i problem which is one which will | have to be given attention sooner or later, and that is the matter of traf- 1 fic passing through the center of the town. During the day time, the sit uation is handled competently by a traffic officer but at other times and particularly after 6:S0 D. m., at which time the officer is relieved on week days. a pedestrian is fortunate | if he negotiates the crossing at the center in safety. This is partially due to some autoists, particularly those travelling from Plainville to Bristol, cutting the traffic standard. Another adverse feature is the spot used by trolleys in making the stop for the center. Passengers alighting from Plainville-bound trolleys are obliged to pass around in the rear of the car and then across the street 10 the post office and stores located on the east side and many are obliged 10 cross also because their homes aru located in the northern end of the town. Due to the contin- uous stream of cars passing In both directions it is often necessary for pedestrians to make dash for the curb as autoists are not obliged 10 stop when on the opposite side from which trolley passengers are being discharged.
 One solution to the trolley situa- ton has been suggested and that is to have all cars operated by the Bristol and Plainville Electric Co.,. stop in front of the plumbing estab- lishmont of George D. Loeffler. To- cated in the Palace of Sweets build ing, which is better known as the Forest house. This arrangement would eliminate all of the hazard now existing for trolley passengers and would also facilitate the hand ling of automobile traffic. It is be- lieved that such a suggestion will be made 10 the officials of the Bristol and Plainvile Electric company in the near future.
