 With the installation of the cleo tro- -matic signal in the center of Forestville. . change in the trolley stop at that point is again being agi tated by residents in that section and it is probable that the matter may be brought up for discussion when the city council meets on Tuesday evening.
 For a number of years trolley cars have stopped in the center of the street where passengers are unload ed and taken aboard. Many serious accidents have been narrowly averted, due principally to the alert ness of trolley patrons. Under the present arrangements, passengers alighting from or boarding trclleys are obliged to cross in front of ap- preaching automobiles. which in many instances have neglected to stop for the standing trolley in ac- cordance with the law.
 It was suggested several months ago that the trolleys stop adjoining the sidewalk in front of the old Forest House and that arrangements be made by the tra action company to discharge and pick up passengers from the sidewalk. A second sugges- ton has now been made-that an Isle of safety be chained off in front of the Forest house and passengers be taken on or discharged from the right side of the trolley car. This would furnish ample protection for trolley patrons.
 A similar condition exists near the corner of North Main and Main streets. All trolley cars stop near the retaining wall at the railroad property on North Main street. Pas sengers alighting from Terryville and cars bound for the northside are discharged on the sidewalk but in the case of Plainville- bound cars. they are obliged to step off into the street where traffic at all times during the day is extremely heavy. In the event 1t is found impracti- cable to discharge and pick up pas sengers from the sidewalk. 1t has been suggestd that an isle of safety also be established at this point. The matter has again been brought to the attention of Mayor w. Raymond Crumb with the request that some protection be afforded trolley patrons at the two points in question.
 Democratic Committee Meeting
 At a meeting of the members of the democratic town committee. held last evening in the city court room, it was decided to hold a rally in this city after October 2. Augustine Lon- ergan of Hartford. nominee for U. $. senator; Herman Kopplemann of Hartford. candidate for congress and Charles G. Morris of Newtown. nominee for governor. will be in- vited to speak. Chairman Joseph F. button will also cndeavor to se- cure speaker from New York. No date for the democratic eau
  was set by the committee but 1t is probable that it will be he'd the early part Of October.
 Members of the committee were urged by Chairman Joseph F. but . ton to make determined effort to secure additional applications of new voters before October 9. the last date on which such applications may be received. The assistance of the committee was also asked for Sat urday. October 18th. when the SC. ioctmen will meet to make new voters.
 Due to the fact that the store at 1 1-2 North Main street. now occu- pied as democratic campaign head quarters, has been leased by the owners, it will be necessary to va. cate immediately. Other quarters in the center of the city will be secured within the next few days. Fire Board Meeting The new hrchousc at the corner of Pennington avenue and Lewis street will be completed in about three weeks, according to a state ment made last evening by Chief H. Hayes at a meeting of the board Of fire commissioners. The new La. France bumper. purchased several weeks ago hy inc rjlt Wi1l he do,
