business of his own in Norwalk' a big
neighbor to the east.
Mr. Desmond has been superin-

_ "It is interesting to note. in‘oou-

of hats in the city. There are sev-

seem to be coming to this section of

especially favored in this matter be-
cause it is in the center of the labor

ow traffic signs throughout the ‘~
city was started this morning under the direction of Chief of
Police William R. Pennington. The signs will show where there
is to be 40 minute parking and where there will be no parking
at all. The crosswalks of the city will be marked oil‘ with white
paint some time next week, ,if Weather conditions permit, accord-
"Spaces will be marked off h1=~V
tween ‘No Parking' signs which will
be erected only where necessary."
the mayor said.
The "No Parking" signs will be
placed on the main streets and
merchants will be allowed to load
and unload their trucks between
signs and motorists will be allowed
to stop and allow passengers to
alight or get into an auto.
Can't Move These Signs.
Many of the signs will be firmly
fixed to an iron pole which will be
imbedded in the curb." the mayor
stated. “this method will do away
with motorists who might move the
signs for enough to allow them to
park their cars."
The new ordinance will go . into
effect April 1. Motorists will be
warned following violations for a
time. and later will be dealt with
more severely.
‘ No Left Turns Under Bridge
"Red and green signal lights will
be placed under the Washington
street railroad bridge." the mayor
stated. “There will be no left turns
at this Mint and signs will be plac-
ed on the present standard which
will read. ‘No Left Turns. This new
rule it is thought will eliminate a.
' great deal of congestion. An officer
will be stationed on the sidewalk
under the bridge and will work the
lights from there. If this plan works
out satisfactorily. we plan to im-
prove upon it"
The new system nlll call for an
officer at the bridge. who. by a sys-
tem of lights. “ill be able to di1ecf
traffic on Railroad avenue. West
Washington street, South Main
street as far as Elizabeth and Havi-
land street. and North Main
street as far as Marshall street.
Mayor Asks Public Support
"We cannot expect to enforce the
new ordinance as we should." the
mayor said today. “as we have no
regular traffic officers. At present
We have but two men in the center
on day duty. one of them being
stationed at the school crossing at
Franklin school from two to two and
a half hours a day. leaving our
officer in the center. The publ'rt
operate with us as much as pos-
siblc."
“Two men may be added to the
department if funds can be raised.
suggested the mayor.
The new ordinance was to have
gone‘ into effect at Christmas time
but at the request of the merchants
it was postponed until April 1.
The City council will meet April
13. when the new plan will be
thoroughly discussed. Some definite
action may be taken to.lmprove
upon it.
A traffic engineer was in their“:
Monday and discussed traffic plans
for Norwaik with the mayor.
