In order that q greater number Of autom obilc drivers than can now Use the streets for parking purposes, may be able to do SO, the board Of police commissioners voted last night 10 have the committee on parking and traffic bring in 8 set of amended regulations, reducing the parhing time cn streets about the center, but not including rfain street. Commissioner Edwin A, Par ker moved that this action bc taken after Chairman T. w. Bannan su3- gestad it. Traffic conditions demand that changes be made in this man. ner, in the opinion Of the commis- sioncrs.
 Chairman Bannan vas pleased 10 tell the board that 9 story had ap- peared recently in the Herald con taining favorable comment of q yis- itor on the courtesy Of local police men.
 That is what this board has been striving for and it Gratifies me, as l know it does all Of you 10 know tIlt-t AIl' iitDlA i9 r-c1Lil4iit-' 'c''' ''i' CT sources I have heard similar com pliments but regret 10 say that l have heard q few instances where 1t was the other way. But VIC arc glad to know that courtesy towards New Britain people and all visitors is in creasing and from now on we shall expect any policeman who may be I,
 Other members Of the board also stated they had heard how courtc- ous tho policemen were.
 Delay in Night Patrol
 Chief Hart caid that he was not yet ready 10 put into operation the new night patrol as directed by the board at it's last meeting because on account Of the fine weather he dis liked calling off the motorcycle of ficcrs. but he thought that he would have soon the new patrol in opera tion.
 It developed from discussion of the board that in the members opin- ion this patrol should consist of three men at the start which num- Der might be increased or diminish ed as it developed from the way the patrol functioned.
 This patrol will traverse the streets in the out~kir1s and the main highways on the watch for condl- tions that require police attention. It will probably use the sedan of the detective bureau and will be in mo- ton all the time it is on duty and keeping in touch with headquarters. II is only an experiment but as it has worked well in other places it is eX- pcCted 10 do the same here.
