 to Install.
 George Quinon, we'll known coal dealer on North Main street, sur | prised his friends at police head quarters today by walking into the station with a red dog fox at the end of a double leash. The sight was novel one both for those at headquarters and the fox, which | immediately proceeded to a corner of the room and lay down with it's back to the wall. watching for any suspicious moves on the part of the onlookers. After submitting the fox for inspection. Mir. Quinon led the animal out to his sedan and as soon as the door was opened, the fox dashed madly inside the car.
 The animal was captured Christ = mas Day by MT. Quinon and Harlan B. Norton in the West lodges, after it had been holed by dogs. It is now on exhibition in the window of the Bristol Hardware Co.,, at 51 North Main street.
 May Use Parl, for Autos
 It is possible that. due to lack of sufficient parking facilities in the central section of the city, the park now located between Prospect street and the railroad station may be done away with and the space used for parking purposes. At least this is the suggestion of a member Of the city council. The councilman in iquestion also pointed out that ap- proximately s250 was spent each year keeping the park in a present able shape and It's elimination would result in this amount being saved.
 Bristol at present is badly handi- capped in the matter of parking space. The west end of the Memor- ial Boulevard affords considerable room for automobiles but often times particularly on Saturday eve nings this space is crowded to ca pacity. Parking is restricted or both Main and North Main streets to anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes land Prospect street near the site of Ithe present park is always crowded with cars belonging to businessmen and shoppers. Tho use Of the park for the purpose suggested would re- lieve the situation 10 considerable extent.
 l IL IS DIOpdDlt -Hut Illt liattti " III be brought up some time in the near future at a council meeting for de- cision. The park, before It could be used, would have to be graded and thegcurbs removed but 1t is not believed that the expense involved for this work would be prohibitive
