The old trolley stop In Central
 square used by the Connecticut Co.,, /, previous to it's change last spring. Will be re-occupied Saturday. ac- cording to letter received today by
 First Selectman John J. Kimmel from William J. Bryan. district superintendent of the trolley com pany. This aCtion was taken at the request of the local selectmen, who
 nave been in communication with the company for some time regard ing the matter, Mir. Bryan acceding to the asking for return to the old stand.
 The present trolley stop has been a source of contention ever since 1t was established. The one formerly in use, which will again come back Saturday, was on East Main street at the eastern side of the square and was abandoned because of the great distance passengers were oblie- ed to walk to reach the stores and to transfer to the Bristol line. The present location, at the head Of Whiting street, was designed to abol- ish the necessity of trolley patrons crossing long stretches of much travelled highway. This 1t did. but the narrow neck at the head Of Whiting street effected drawbacks which offset this advantage. While 1t gave trolley passengers less road way to cross, 1t made them cross where the vision of automobilists was blinded Other disadvantages cited by the opponents of the change included the claim that the fire ap- paratus could not swing into Whiting street with a car in the middle of the street.
 William J. Johnson endeavored 10 solve the problem while he was first selectman but was unable 10 come to an agreement with the Connecti- cut Co.,. his plan being for the cars to continue down Whiting street for some distance. With winter snows coming on to aggravate the matter the new board of selectmen took | steps to speed up a change, and Mir Bryan has agreed to follow their I, recommendations.
 MT. Kimmel said today that he i had no objection to the stopping 10 l take and discharge passengers at the | present place opposite Thrall's drug store. but he did protest having the trolleys park" there for long per iods.
 The mo parking" signs at the 1, head of Whiting street will he taken ! down. They should never have been put up. Mir. kimmel stated. because the town had no authority 10 enforce parking restrictions and the attempt ! to do so was more or less ridiculous. The signs were constantly disregard cd and autos were parked in the "rcstricted' district at all times Of the day.
 Many Being Immrnizod
 More than 100 school children have been immunized against diphtheria since the opening of the fall term. Dr. George F. Cook, local health officer, said today, It is hop ed that more will take advantage of this preventive measure and that which has not troubled Plainville for long while, may be permanently stamped out here. The state furnished the anti-toXin. and the immunizing may be done by the family physician.
 A few cases of chicken pox have 1 been reported during the last few weeks. No more typhoid has come to the attention of the authorities in the past month. {
