Congestion in ForStville Again
 Brought to Public Attention
BOYS STEAL COPPER WIRE
Attorney OConnell Elected PreSt- dent of State Fish and Game Clubs-Tsristol Higi, Quintet De- feats West Hartf0r1l.

The problem Of parking in the center of Forestville was again the subject Of much discussion in that section of the city yesterday and was brought up following a condi- ton noticed during the noon hour Two large trucks. heavily loaded with crushed stone had parked on the bridge temporarily. At the same time four other pleasure cars were parked on the structure, one on the east side and three on the west side, making the combined weight con- siderably in excess of 3O,Oo0 pounds. The presence of the cars on the bridge made it impossible for two cars to pass at this point with the l result that traffic was temporarily tied up.
 It is understood that there will be some objection advanced if it is de- cided to carry out the existing park ing ordinances and also to the changing of the trolley stop, which | is now made in the center of the street. Many persons using the troll ley have expressed themselves in fa- vor of having the stop made at the sidewalk in front of the old Forest House for the reason that it would then be possible to alight from and board cars from the sidewalk. Mayor w. Raymond Crumb at a council meeting some time ago ex- pressed himself as in favor of relo- eating the trolley stop at Forestville and it is possible that the matter, if brought up at the council meeting next Tuesday. will be referred to the ordinance committee for an investi- gation.
