know how Capable the Virginia

tions in which they enter.
About the only events for which
Virginia does not seem to have good

neither the high nor the low hurdles
has any man shown up who bids fair
to measure anywhere near up to the
standard of the men who are to carry
the brunt In other events.

PLAN ID ELIMINATE
 GRADE CROSSINGS
Traffic Bureau May Kill Two
 Roads With One Bridge

The elimination of both grade crossings at East and Allen streets in favor of an overhead bridge was suggested by A. H. Petts at the meeting of the Chamber of Com merce traffic bureau last evening at the Burritt hotel. The bureau has for some time been advocating com bining these two dangerous railroad crossings into a single safer one and has received encouragement from the New Haven railroad. but the plan has been held up by the re- luctance of the city to expend money on the project
 The situation is deemed favorable by Mir. Petts for the building of an overhead bridge, as there is high ground to the north on Clayton road. The railroad is required to elimi- nate a certain number of grade crossings each year, an1 the bureau felt that this new scheme, doing away with two at one stroke, would meet with the approval of the com pany officials. P. F. Gafrney, cnal.- man of the bureau, today appointed committee to take the matter up further with the railroad, city, and public utilities commission. The committee consists of Walter L.. Bell, chairman: Russell II. Hubbard, and w. G. Gibney.
 It was reported that a petition had been submitted to the Connecti- cut Co. asking for extension of the bus service to East Berlin and that a hearing was expected soon either in New Haven or in New Britain. Some complaint was made regarding the icy condition of the approach to the freight platform on Whiting street, and Freight Agent Joseph Leitch promised to have It remedied. Postmaster Herbert F. Erwin gave talk on air mail and the handling Of mail in general.

COURT MAKES RULING
 IN AUTO BUS DISPUTE
Congress Taxi Company of Bridge. port May Operate Through
 Waterbury Town Line

Bridgeport. Conn.,, Jan. 12 R- The Congress Taxi company of Bridgeport can continue to operate it's busses through Waterbury Bridgeport line, Judge Isaac Wolfe decided today in returning a decis- ion upon the action brought by Earl Christian, William McCauley. George McCauley and William Riecheimer. all of this city.
 The local group brought an ac- ton asking the court to grant an injunction restraining the Congress Taxi company from operating the Waterbury busses inasmuch as these busses were purchased without the consent or knowledge of the plain tiffs and in violation of an agree ment entered on June s, 1921.
 An injunction was sought in order to prevent the company from em- ploying on the Waterbury run any busses other than those named in the agreement. In addition to this. mandatory injunction was sought together with s7.500 damages.
 In making his decision Judge Wolfe states Tt is clear that the company, through the operation of the Waterbury busses, violated the contract mentioned and that the plaintiffs under the terms of the contract are entitled to participate in the Waterbury line. Under or dinary condition it was inclined to grant an injunction but the court must bear in mind the important consideration of public inconveni- ence through a peremptory order"
 The judge suggests that the party enters into an agreement at once. thereby making the issuance of an injunction uncertain.
 If this agreement is not entered into by January 26. the judge states the plaintiffs may seek a proper or der.
