An active interest in the proposed annexation of Maple Hill and Elm Hill is one of the projects to be rec commended to the directors of the Chamber of Commerce at their next meeting, according to action taken last evening at the first meting of the newly organized executive committee of the chamber.
 The committee discussed the sub ject of improved roaways through Walnut Hill park, and will recom- mend the appointment of special committee to go into this matter more thoroughly.

It will be discussed at more length.
 It was decided to recommend to the directors proposed open forum to discuss the question of bus traffic on Main street.

Operators for the ad- vance. acting on the theory that the recent reaction had sufficiently cor rected the weakened technical po- sition of the market and that there was no immediate danger of . rise in money rates. started aggressive operations in dozen or more spe- cialties. Early gains in these tssues ran from to 10 points. with . much more moderate recovery in the standard industrials and lails.
 Call money was in plentiful supply at the renewal figure of l-2 per cent. Importation Of more than ss,O0o,ooo in gold from Canada also had a favorable effect oh the credit situation.

NAY BUY PAINTING
 f()RLOCAL MUSEUM
aStoln Qoads' Attracts Attea-
 6oa t 0pd1in8 of Exhibit

Attention on the first day of the exhibit of paintings and bronxes at the New Britain institute was large- ly focused upon . remarkable coast scene by Frederick J. Waugh. . for msr Connecticut man. This paint tng. entitled Storm Clouds." has | sursing movement of waves upon a rocky coast, and it aroused con1id- erable comment yesterday at the opening of the exhibit. It is consid- cred possible that the painting may bs purchased by the local institute and remain here permanently.
 The gallery, which was brought here from tho Grand Central galler- ies of New York city. comprises 35 paintings in oils and water colors and II bronze sculptures. It was fairly we'll attended yesterday and those who examined the works of art were favorably impressed.
 The stranEest painting in the group is Woman and Boy with Goats" by John E. Costigan. While not scorning . brush altogether, Costigan has squeezed much of the paint directly from the tubes onto the canvas achieving a startling but dazzling effect of sunlight f1l- tering through the trees. Another unusual effort is Western Rain'' by Walter Ufer, while there is strange lighting in Sun and Silver Clouds" by E. Luis Mora, a New Milford painter who has placed his little daughter and chum in this frame. It ts thought likely that local con- noiseurs may buy one or two of these paintings.
 Tho two most mentioned still life pictures in the collection are "Ital- ian Prints" by- Anna Fisher and Hovsep Pushman's Homage of Khayyam." An art admirer from Hartford who visited the exhibit yesterday pronounced "Itadian Prints" the best thing in the entire gallery.
 Several Of the bronzes are foun- tain pieces among them Harriet Frishmuth's Play Days' and Duck Mother by Edward Berge. A pair of candlesticks by Grace Helen Talbot drew much favora ble comment from those present yester- day.
 Tho exhibit will be open from 1o:30 a- m. to p. m. and from z to . o'clock in the evening daily for the next two weeks. It will re- main here until January 24.

BUS OWNERS FIGHT STATION CHANGES
(Continued from First Pagcj

and such a condition would only add to the traffic congestion around the | Center. since the buses carry c5 passengers and many former pas sengers would drive their own cars, carrying one person.
 The buses carry many school chill 6ren. notably those bound for the Central Junior High school. it was stated in the petition, and if the terminals were moved to a point away from the center of the city. the danger would be greater for those children. because there would be moro streets to cross, addinS to the hazard.
 Commissioner Michael w. Bannan expressed himself as being not en- tirely in accord with the proposal to move the bus terminals away from the center of the city. He said that it might be a temporary arrange ment and an improvement for a short time, but he expressed himself as feeling that the effect would not be lasting.
 SNAk8NStS uuA> AuN@A1hfs
 Commissioner Harry Morton said that he did not feel that people should be driven of the streets. es- pecially since those most interested have invested considerable money in bus transportation facilities. He favored public hearing on the mat ter. Chairman Rodman w. Cham berlain stated that plan is wanted by which bus patrons will not be in- convenienced and the congestion will still be relieved.
 Most of the congestion is due 10 the trolley cars. according to the belief expressed by Commissioner Bannan. He said they are slow moving vehicles and they move around corners slowly. while buses travel rapidly. The chairman stated that the matter has stirred up so much comment that nasty action would be out of the question.
 While on the subject of buses. Chairman Chamberlain appointed the newly chosen member of the board, Albert Schilling, to the traffic com mittee. succeeding o. F. Parker, whose place Mir. Schilling took on the board of police commissioners. Commissioner Schilling will serve with Commissioner Morton.
 Tfal1c Committee to Make Study
 The traffic committee was delegat- cd to study the situation and to sub init a report at the next meeting of the board. The recommendation of the committee will be acted upon and. if 1t is approved. there will be a public hearing. after which the matter will go to the common coun- ell and the public utilities commits sion.
 Commissioner Morton stated that it seems to be the opinion of people with whom he has talked, that the bus matter Is being railroaded through and that it is cut and dried proposition. He said that there should be a public hearing, by all means.
 A suggestion that the committee find some means of diverting traffic OH Main street was made by Com missioner Bannan. When reminded that no compulsory rule could be enforced. he stated that his idea was to give traffic an easy way through the city without using Main street, but not to make such travel com pulsory. He said that many cities have signs directing traffic away from the center. cars passing along side streets and relieving congestion in tho central part of the town. That subject. with the bus protest, vas referred to the traffic commit tee for its attention.
