TURN OUT LIGHTS AT
 TWO MAIN ST. POINTS
Traffic Signals at Myrtle and Commercial Streets
 Not Needed

The new traffic lights at the corner Of Myrtle and Main. and the corner of Commercial and Main have been found to be unnecessary and are not to be used, Chairman R. w. Chamberlain of the board Of police commissioners announced today. The trial of the lights has brought out some faults, the chair man said. and he has heard con siderable criticism. all Of which will be discussed at q special meet ing Wednesday evening. The Com mercial and Myrtle street corner lights resulted in the stopping Of vehicles on the Main street rail road tracks, causing dangerous condition. Chairman Chamberlain said.
 One feature Of the criticism tha- has been heard is very oncouras- ing, he said. referring to the 'ol- erance and fair mindedness of the average critic. The commissioners realized that practical trial of the light system was the only way to determine it's merits. and Chiei Hart had the same feoeliug. Now that faults have been brought out, the task of the commissioners is 10 correct them. the chairman said. He indicated that the subject will be fully discussed and changes made at the special meeting.
 ,t To h, promoted to tho new lieutenancy and Officers Thomas Feeney and John C. Stadler will be promoted to which were created by the common council last week. Other business before the special meeting will be the appointment of four new regular policemen. discussion of the situation relative to the purchase of automobiles. and ex- animation of applicants for places in the supernumerary force.

DRUGGISTS FORFEIT
 SI,000 LIQUOR BONDS
Five Bristol Pharmacy Owners to Pay Over
 S2,000 Each in All
fSDeclai to tha Uera'd)

tSpcCLai to tNe hcfaaGl
 Bristol. April 25.--Notices have been received by the local druggists who were found guilty of the sale of liquor in the local police court several weeks ago, that the for feiture of their liquor bond of s1, 900 T. putney of the Federal Liquor En- forccment Bureau of Hartford, who signed the notices. also announced that a fine of $500 for each count on which they were charge in the city court, was also assessed. The bill which each druggist will be obliged to pay, according 10 pirec- tor Putney's decision, will exceed s2,000 in each instance.
 Local druggists involved were greatly surprised by the action Of the federal director and have not as yet made known what steps will be taken by them. lt was rumored that an effort would be made to have their cases reoponed in the local court as they feel that they but technically violated the prescrip- ton law. having in each instance q prescription to cover the liquor dis pensed. Such q step, however, was not deemed logical by Prosecuting Attorney James Mathcr who, when questioned this afternoon. stated that in his opinion, the proper course would be for the druggists to seek redemption in the bond for feiture and the fines assessed. So far as he kncws. nothing has been done toward having the cases reopened in the local court.
 The druggists affected by the de- cision of Dorector Putney are Lynd Holley, George Blackall, Morris Hickman, Gage Kent and Philip MaStropuoni.
