TRAFFIC RULES
 UNDERGO CHANGE
One-Way Traffic on Main Streets Ordered After
 Tie=up Yesterday
WATERVILLE

AS the result or 6 serious tra1nC jam on Thomaston avenue yester- day morning the police department declared that street open to double bound traffic only for Homer street to West Main street, north bound traffic is being directed from West Main street over Willow and John son streets to Waterville street to Home street to Thomaston avenue. The tie-up occurred when a south bound Connecticut company bus attempted to pass north bound car. Both were forced off the road way which had been plowed after Tuesdays storm and became stalled in the deep snow. o a short time many cars were delayed on both sides of the traffic obstruction and it took great deal of patient di- rection on the part of the officers who reached the scene to finally unsnarl the situation. It was felt then that traffic would be better served until roads could be opened more effectively by designating Thomaston avenue and Waterville street as one way streets.
 Cooperation Urged in Clearing Sts
 In several sections of Waterville residents have responded to the appeal that those living in various neighborhoods cooperate in clear ing the streets by organizing vol unteer groups to clear at least 8 single lane passage through the drifted snow so that trucks may make easier deliveries of milk, fuel, and other commodities. It is very evident that the street depart ment will be unable to touch many side streets for several days. A. notable case of cooperation oc- cured yesterday when the men re- siding on Bonair avenue and upper Dwight street shoveled roadway to permit the removal of de- ceased man from the undertaken S mortuary to his home.
 Mrs Charles H. Lane
 Mrs Mary J. Lane, wife of Charles H. Lane, of 15 Fort Hill avenue. whose death at St Mary's hospital on Wednesday evening was reported in yesterdays column was the daughter of the late George and Mary J. Further of Beckett, Mass, where she was born in 1862. Her early life was spent in that picturesque Berkshire town in the Jacobs Ladder country.
 She was loyal member of Grace Methodist church, where her presence will be missed. The pas tor, Rev Mulford B. Simonson will conduct the funeral sermon Sat- urday afternoon at two o'clock at the Alderson Funeral Home. Friends may call there this after noon and evening. The burial will be in New Pine Grove cemetery.
 Trolley Service Still Dead
 Waterville is still without troll ley car service and 1t will probably be several days before the huge drifts between Overlook and Homer street can be sufficiently cleared to permit the passage of cars. The Connecticut Company is not making unusual efforts to speed the resumption of service on this line since it is providing bus serv- ices northbound on Waterville street and Thomaston avenue to the Chase Metal Works plant and southbound on Thomaston avenue to West Main street. Yesterday af- ternoon the Cooke street bus line resumed operation of it's line from White street to the center, thus as- sisting the large group of residents south of Homer street.
 School Vacation Next Week
 Sprague Grammar school re- sumed its sessions to-day following a three-day shutdown. The first two days were forced by the bliz- gard and yesterday was a legal holiday. The school closes this af- ternoon for the regular mid-term recess and will remain closed all of next week. Sessions will start again on Monday, March 5th.
 Watts Funeral
 The funeral of the late Matthew Watts will take place at S:15 a. m. tomorrow from the home of his daughter, Mrs John w. Finn of 131 Dwight street to St Michaers R. c. church where a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated at 800 a. m. The burial will be in new St Joseph's cemetery.
 Leave Cars at Home
 In cases where it is possible to take automobiles out local resi- dents are requested to heed the appeal. of the city officials to re- frain from using motor cars on city streets unless absolutely necessary until snow removal has proceeded to the point where less congestion will result. Cars left blocking traf- f1c will be tagged and their owners brought into court. Useless opera tion of pleasure cars about town has seriously handicapped the workmen who are striving to clear the streets.
