 Objects to Parking
 A number of matters were referred 10 the ordinance committee at the meeting of the city council last evening.
 The Bristol Lumber company ob. jected to continuous parking being allowed on Center street in front of property owned by them for the req son that on many occasions the driveways leading to their yards were blocked by parked autom mobiles. C. F.. Carlson, secretary of the concern, suggested that the parking be re- stricted to 30 minutes between North Main street and the railroad tracks on Center street.
 Councilman W. E. Housh then brought up tho subject of parking in front of the drug store located on North Main street at the corner of North street. He pointed out that oftentimes when trolleys were stand ing at that point waiting for the green target on the automatic sig nal. traffic jams usually resulted, which took several minutes to straighten out.
 Councilman W. Raymond Crumb suggested that parking on the eas, side of Main street between River side avenue and the Memorial boule- ward be discontinued entirely.
 The parking situation in Bristol 1s a matter of concern to both city officials and owners of automobiles The Memorial boulevard and Pros rect street are the only two un- restricted parking spots near the center of the city and all available space at these two points is usually taken up early in the day.
 Trolley Stops Discussed
 Councilman W. Raymond Crumr also brought up the matter of trol- ley cars of the Bristol and Piainyille Electric company discharsins pas sengers in the center of the street at Forestville. He suggested that cars stop along the sidewalk just west oi the center near the old Forest House. which would keep the center of the highway clear and eliminate the ne- cessitv of discharging passengers into the street.
 This recommendation was made several months ago by the Herald in their Bristol column but last eve mig was the first time it was con. sidered by the council.
 It was also suggested that troll leys stopping at North Main street near the corner of Main street, dts. charge passengers on the sidewalk in all instances. At the present time Plainville- bound cars from the north side discharge passengers into the street where traffic l. very heavy and there have been several near se. cidents.
 Both of these matters were ro. ferred to the ordinance committee, which was instructed to investigate and submit their recommendation at the next meeting of the council on Tuesday. July 5th.
 Coal Question Discussed
 City Clerk Thomas B. Steele brought up the subject of the city's coal requirements for next year. He point:l out that at tine present time there was a strike at the soft coal mines but thought 1t might be we'll to solicit bids. He was authorized to do this.
 The past few years. most of the dealers of tho city have refused to bid on the contract because of d. legged discrimination and Council man Hough suggested that this year the bids be opened before the city council. Forcstville coal dealers will also be given an opportunity of bid ding on coal furnished the Forest vile school, this suggestion being made by Councilman Crumb.
