Within the past several months,
there have been three fatal acct
dents In Terryville. the victims in
each instance being pedestrians. At
the present time speeding along the
main street OF the town Is being
checked closely and a number of
arrests have been made lately for
reckless driving.
Quiet Month for Police
The month Of November. up to
the present time, has been an ex-
tremely quiet one for the police de-
partment. With the month half
gone, but % arrests have been made,
the greater portion Of these result
Ing from complaints.
Requests for additional protec-
ton at the west and north sides
during the rush hours OF the day
will be made shortly to the board
OF police commissioners, it is un-
derstood. This action follows the
fatal accident at the corner of West
and School streets last Wednesday
evening when Antonio Cavalierl, a
factory worker. lost his life while
crossing the intersection. He was
struck by an autoist, who. according
TO information furnished the police
by witnesses. passed while the traffic
signal was set against him.
4 similar situation exists at the
north side. whre an officer has been
stationed for the past several eve
nings to check up on violations Of
the traffic odinances.
1t 10 rumored that a petition. re-
questing that the day officer be re-
tanned in Forestville. will be circu-
lated In the event the board Of po-
lice. commissioners decide to elm
mate that position. 1t is pointed out
that the officer was put on by vote
Of the residents Of that section and
that he cannot be taken off unless
action is taken. The need of
a traffic officer has been eliminated
by the placing of an electro matte
signal in the center, but residents
believe that the officer should also
be retained. 1t is also probable that
q request will be made in the near
future for two night officers in For
estville. At the present time one
man patrols practically all of that
section and while he is at the north
ern end of his beat, the central part
Of the village is left unprotected.
These petitions will probably be
presented at the next meeting of the
police board.
