parking space on South Main street. Burgess Joseph Raytkwich who has 8 garage on that street offered to permit persons to park in a space near the garage with no charge. He estimated about 100 cars could be accommodated there. Parking on both sides of South Main street as far south as Hotchkiss street is limited to one-hour under the new rules adopted last night.
 Restrictions Adopted
 New parking restrictions on streets on the east side of the town which were adopted at the meet ing of the board of warden and burgesses last night will go into ef- feet just as soon as signs to erect there are procured.
 Discussion concerning the park ing regulations occupied about three-quarterS of the time used for the session. The changes are: One hour parking on South Main street from Maple street to Hotch- kiss street from the hours of 2 a. m. to 6 D. m. no parking on the north side of the Memorial bridge from 2 a. m. to 6 D. m. and no parking on the south side of the bridge at all. Thirty minute parking from a point % feet east of Main street up Maple street to the Odd Fellows building on the south side of the street from a. m. to 6 p. m.; from that point north to Carroll street one hour parking for 24 hours in the day with parking entirely barred on the opposite side. The next month the hour parking will be permitted on the opposite side with the other side restricted.
 On Oak street on the west side the rear of the Alcazar theater, 60 from Maple street to a point near minute parking with unrestricted parking on that side the rest of the way up the street. On the other side one hour parking as far as the first street light for 24 hours in the day.
 There was much talk pro and con about the changes which were recommended after considerable in- vestigatoin by 8 committee consist ing of Warden John J. Sheridan, and BurgeSses Leo Brophy and An thony Tangredi. A considerable part of the discussion centered around the original Oak street proposition which would have had hour parking on both sides of the street up as far as the first street light.
 Discuss Oak Street
 Burgess Joseph Nygren and news papermen attending pointed out that in view of the restrictions on Main and Maple streets, there there would be no place for em- ployes of persons in the Tanto building on Oak and Main streets to park their autos and that 1t them to change their parking place each hour. The change from the original proposal met with general approval.
 Burgess Brophy who announced the changes, explained that Oak street is narrow and that if cars are parked constantly on both sides. there is not space for two cars to pass whereas limited parking would probably leave spaces for one car to draw into when another was com- ing in the opposite direction.
 He also said that several house. owners on that street had protest cd against cars being parked there all day, saying they can't even park in front of their own homes. It was agreed that a small cleared space will be left at 8 point op- posite a four-car garage as users of that garage could not back out and turn with & car parked on the opposite side of the street, MT. Brophy said.
 Burgess Brophy pointed out the end of Maple street near the Odd Fellows building is narrow and if cars are parked on both sides a fire truck could not pas sa car com- ing down. Business men have asked parking restrictions claiming their customers don't have chance to park in front of their places but 1t was brought out at the section that one man parks his own car in front of his establishment and an-, other parks his car in front of store opposite his.
 Check Rubber Workers
 Warden Sheridan said the prob- lem required considerable study and Burgess Joseph Raytkwich suggest cd a check be made by policemen to determine how many workers in the U. s. Rubber company park their autos all day on Main, Maple and nak etraata Mfr NVQren aQfeed
