People Aligllting From Cars in Dan- ger From Traflic-Chippin Hill Section May See Wild Cat Hunt Parked Auto Is Damaged


 In spite of the fact that several
 months ago the city council appoint
 ed a committee to investigate the
 possibility of reducing the hazard
 to persons boarding and alighting
 from trollcys Of the Bristol Traction company on North Main street near the City hall. nothing has ever been done to remedy what many term the most dangerous condition in the city. At the present time to board a ! trolley at the point in question, it IS necessary to do so from the center of the street. In alightng, a per son IS also obliged 10 step into the street, where traffic at all times during the day is very heavy. When the matter was taken up with the trolley Officials, it was pointed out that 10 discharge passengers on the sidewalk was not feasible during the summer months when open cars were in use because to do so would mean the lifting Of the guard rail | 'iN'A N+i| -1' Si Io tilli ltiC loH tl HIS Ol the step, This would entail consid- erah!e delay and would tend to in crease traffic difficulties in this vii cinity. However. with closed cars in use, as pointed out by a prominent citizen, the discharge Of passengers on the sidewalk and permitting them to board on the same side could be accomplished with little or no delay and without aiding to the congcs- | ton.
 Due to the fact that cars bound for the north street terminal are sometimes obliged 10 wait a minute Woodland street line, autoist are not obliged to stop for the standing trol- ley. This feature adds to the hazard for patrons of the trolley.
 A similar condition exists in the center of Forestville and this matter was preached at the meeting several months ago by Mayor w. Raymond Crumb, who was a councilman at the time. At that time it was suggested that the trolley stop be made near the sidewalk in front of the old For est House and if this were carried out, it would eliminate entirely the danger which now exists by cars stopping in the center of the street.
