MUCH ACTIVITY ON
 BALDWIN STREET
Force of Men at Work Getting in Shape for
 Laying Pavement
IT IS A BIG JOB

There is a good deal of activity on Baldwin street these days and 1t will continue until the job Is fin- ished and the pledge of Mayor Hayes to make it d real boulevard is fulfilled. With the exception of the busses, vehicular travel still to use the street, but at inconvenience. The bus which goes to Hopeville turns into River street at Scovilis bridge and is distinguished from the one that heads up Bridge street en- route to Sylvan avenue by being referred to as the shore line bus. This name was applied to it by passengers because the course lies along the edge of the Mad river for a considerable distance.
 Some day when the railroad people put their hands to their hearts and adorn the wire fence that skirts the river with rambling roses the appearance of the place will be much improved. But even under existing conditions the going Is not bad on the new routes. So far one hears no complaints except about the crowding on Sylvan ave nue, which is more noticeable than ever, and not without cause, es- pecially late in the afternoon, when standing room is at a prem ium, and there is much confusion getting in and squeezing out. lt is q wonderful thing to be doing business and have no competitor. If patrons do not like the service they can go without it. although the heads of public service corpor- ations represent that they do oper- ate just the same as If they were in sharp competition with others in the same line of endeavOr.

Police Don Blue Shirts Saturday No Unanimity of Opinion Regarding New
 Regalia

Members of the Waterbury po- lice department will make their debut in blue shirts on next Sat- urday. Orders are orders and the boys must at least conform to that feature of the new regulation style of dress. As for the peaked hats, military blouses, leather puttees and Sam Browne belts they can be procured and worn later. Any time within the next year, but the order to don the blue shirts must be respected commencing August 1st.
 Naturally there is no definite evil dence of unanimity of opinion to determine the popularity of the new regulations. The fact that the board of police commissioners has allowed d years grace in which to purchase new uniforms has softened the greater part of the re- sentiment first manifested. The present summer hats of straw will be permitted to remain in vogue. As d matter of fact the board has no objection to the boys taking their present blouses to the tailor
