 MOVING CAR STOP
Connecticut Co. Faces Difficult
 Problem in Center
NO ISLE OF SAFETY

Here Tomorrow Afternoon ---C on.
 cert At Baptist Church - Sunday
 School Presents Pla,--Briefs.
 The plan to establish an isle Of safety in the center of PlainN file has been abandoned and some other way of eliminating the danger and congestion about the center will be sought, 1t was stated today by w. J. Bryan. superintendent of the New Britain division Of the Connecticut Co. The trolley and town officials have been cooperating to seek some plan whereby it will not be neccs- sary for car 10 stand for 10 min uies in tho middle of the street near Central square. but the problem has been q difficult one.
 A plan proposed during the win ter was 10 have tho trolley stop op- posite Thrall'S drug store and estab- fish an isle of safety in the center of the square. This has now been given up and q substitute is being sought. One scheme put forward by the sclcctmon is to have tho trolley stop opposite Thrall's. lot off it's pas sengers. and then move along Whit ing street for some distance to avoid blocking traffic about the center.
 This idea is rendered impractica- hle by the fact that 1t would carry inc car on 10 the single track which begins in front Of the post otfic", This would throw the signal, flash rcd at the other end Of the single track stretch, and cause trouble to a car coming up from SouthinGton, The signal could be moved. but this would require much trouhlo
 Tho center. with its three enter. ing streets and their varying widths and curves, is an awkward place 10 work with the town and trolley of liciAls are being forced to go slow with their plans, hut they hope 10 find a feasible way Of eliminating tho dangerous standing car in the near future.
