ELECTRIC USE
 ON N. E. FARMS
l03O Census Shows 36 Per Cent of Rural Sec
 ton Power Users
ON 45,522 FARMS

New England farms were found to be exceptionally well equipped electrically in the 1880 census. ac- cording to the statistics of the Unit ed States bureau of census. New England is the first geographical division of the United States for which the census bureau has issued it's latest findings on farm electrifi- cation. The total number of farms in the six New England States which, on the date of the census. April |, 1880, were using utility power. was 45.622 on ss.4 per cent of the total of 124,925. This is in line with the National Electric Light association figures for January I, 1880, which showed 41,4S9 farms in New Eng land then making use of utility en- erRy..
 ing used by 5,017 New England farms, 3.8 per cent of the total, &C., cording to the cencus figures, and the total number of farm homes lighted by electricity was 51,439. or 40.2 per cent of the total. Tele- phones were installed in 77,094 or SIT per cent of the farms in New
 England and 32,6S4 or 26.2 per cent had running water in bath rooms. Twenty-two per cent of the farms or 14,792 had 23,74 electric motors and 34,4S1 stationary gas engines were installed in 27,S28 farm properties, the census figures showed.
 Connecticut power and light util- ity officials hold the belief that the decade intervening between the present and the next census will show a remarkable gain in farm identification in the New England territory, even to the extent of re- vealing an almost universal utiliza- ton of electric power. Utility com panies in the New England states have adopted programs designed to
 bring electricity within reach of hitherto unserved rural territories in the near future.

BAN ON PARKING
 HELPS FOOTBALL
Big Game Traffic in New Haven Speeded Up
 By Ruling
ELIMINATES BANGLES

With the idea of speeding traffic to and from Yale bowl, the New Haven police department has re- styicted parking on several of the main streets which are trolley and auto thoroughfares on days when big football games occur. The po- lice department has tried this me- thod of speeding traffic before and finding that it helps considerably has installed it as an annual move on their part. Under this restric- ton, the great volume of cars which descend upon New Haven on "big game" days are enabled to proceed to the bowl even more rap- idly than the New Haven citizen can proceed upon the samt streets during the daily rush hour traffic.
 City officials have had much ex- perience with handling great vol tunes of trafiic on football days. Be- fore the enormous traffic increase of traffic which has come during the past few years they had com paratively easy task. As the amount of traffic increased, cars and troll leys got in each others way. the streets became congested, and gen. eral traffic tieups resulted. It be- came essential that some new plan he formulated to avoid these con- flicts between the trolleys and au- tos.
 After long study of the condi- tions, 1t was determined to elimin- ate parking upon the main streets on trolley routes where the jams were most likely to occur. Now parked cars no longer crowd the autos into the center of the street, tieing up the trolleys. Autos have a clear path next to the .curb, and trolleys are able to proceed on their way. The traffic tangles which oc- cured before have been eliminated and autos and trolleys are able to proceed rapidly to the bowl. This plan has now been installed annu- ally on Saturdays during the foot l.

The quistest weekend the Wa terbury police department has ex- periencsd in many weeks was in- dicated to-day by the scarcity of cases listed on the city court docket. Only two intoxicants 1aced JudSe T. ". Meyer. in the three minute session held this morning. Neither one proved a cash custo- mer.
