Traffic on Church street will be allowed to proceed easterly only, and cars may be parked on both sides of the street The end of the easterly one way traffic street will be at Corbin place.
 This move was made at the plea of the business houses on the north side of Church street, who. by petition. complained that the present traffic situation On the street discriminatcd against them. By the new plan, Ntbl may J' pal Nt''4 O44 ''OliI 0I'l' D of the streets to provide easy access to all stores. However, from Corbn place east the two way traffic street will exist, and parking will be all lowed only on the south side of the street. Thirty minutes is the parking time limit which has been set on Church as well as Arch streets.
 
 Bus Terminals Discussed
 A guarded discussion of the bus situation also took place al the meet ing of the police board. By making the south end of Central park a bus terminal north end merchants feel that they are discriminated against. Mir. Bannan said in feeling out the sentiment of the board. Others likewise expressed opinions that either buses should be kept off Main street entirely or that the terminals should be more evenly distributed.
 Fear was expressed that some Saturday night a fire would break out in the south end of the city. and because of the heavy bus traffic about the intersection of Main, Arch and Chestnut streets fire apphratus could not make the run. The sub ject of buses and bus terminals will be taken up at a later meeting of the board for full discussion
 Another way that traffic on West Main street could be specded up was proposed by Chairman Bannan. Sometimes cars coming south on West Main street. the traffic light with them. stop at the Capitol thea ter to discharge passengers. If. the chairman suggested, the light is with the car, it should cross the Wash ington street intersection to Onora- to's Smoke shop before stopping. Then north bound traffic on West Main street could turn into Wash ington street. It vas also suggested that the car make the turn onto Main street before stopping 10 un- load passengers. Chief Hart will take this question up with the traf- fic manager Of the Connecticut com pany.
