FORESTV|LLE ASKS
 TRAFFIC REMEDY
Citizens Stirred to Criticism and Seek Early Relief
SITUATION CALLED MENACE

l Death or Roman Bachman, Louis Napoleon Dube and Louis La Gasse - Rural Mail Carrier Dis charged From Hospital. Traffic conditions in the center of Forestville are once more being dis cussed by residents of that section and it is understood that the city council at its next meeting will be asked to take definite steps to elim- mate hazardous features which pre- vail.
 Several months ago. the question 1 Of eliminating trolley stops in the middle of the street at Forestville ' center was brought up at coun- { cil gathering and it was suggested that this condition could be correct cd by having stops made at the sidewalk in front of the old Forest House building. This recommenda- ton was handed 10 the committee appointed 10 investigate the situa- ] ton, but since that time nothing fur ther has been heard regarding it. At that time. it was pointed out that with trol!eys stopping at the point suggested, traffic congestion would be relieved to a large extent and the possibility pf accident to passengers practically eliminated.
 Another angle. which according to those interested in bettering condi- i tions at this point. would relieve conditions considerably is the en- | forcement of the parking ordinances contained in the city charter which make the following restrictions:
 "There shall be no parking on the cast side of Central street from a point thirty ts0) feet south of the bridge over the Pequabuck river 10 a point twenty t2O) feet south of the south line of the post office building.
 "There shall be no parking on the west side of Central street from the bridge to the intersection of Broad street.
 "There shall be no parking on the south side Of Broad street within twenty-five (25) feet of the intersec- ton of Central street.
 .There shall be no parking be- tween Broad street and Bingham street on the west side of Central street"
 For violations of any of these pro- visions, the charter provides fine not exceeding $25 for each offense.
 These ordinances, although in ef- ! feet for several years. have never been enforced. 1t Is pointed out and violations have been contributing factors to accidents which have oc- cured in the center of Forestville.
