Occupants Snstam Shght Injuries Through Impact RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION Meeting Will Be Called to D(suns& Ad- visnbility of Establishing West Main Street Building Line — Advent Church Drive Nearing Quota. What might have resulted niore serious accideat occurred evesing on the Farmington avenue road ‘n front of the John Trumbull residence, when two autos figured in in which the occup:nts were more or less shaken up. As it was, a laige touring car of the Reo make, coming from Mer- iden and owned and driven by H. A. Fena and a Chevrolet roadster from Hartford driven by a party whose nam> could not be learned, crashed into one another with considerable damage to both cars. The occupafts of the Hartford car sustained severe cuts ahout the face from the wind shield, while Mr. Fenn, driver of the Meriden car, had his chest injured by the steering wheel. Dr. J. N. Bull hurried to the scene and attend- ed the injured persons. Mr. Fenn was accompanied by his wife while the Hartford car had four occupants. The accident was unavoidable as it was learned that the pin in the steering apparatus of the Hartford cur became loose with the result that the driver lost control of the car and it swerved across the rcad directly into the path of the other vehicle. Both were travelling at moderate rate of speed. Mr. Fenn attempted to steer clear of the car but was too late to avoid the crash. ,The radia- tors of both autos were smashed as well as the wheels of the Hartford car. They were unable to proceed upon their way and the cars were towed to a local garage. Henry Trumbull assisted the injured per- sons and drove the Meriden party to their home.

Notices Have been posted about the town regarding a meeting to be heéeld on July 26 at the Town Hall relative to a building line being established on the north and south sides of West Main street.

Condell, chairman of the town plans commission, will preside and F. L. Benson will act as clerk. All parties interested have been requested tg attend. According to the statements of the town plans commissioners, there are several streets that are in need of a build- ing line being established. It will be remembered the difficulties that were encountered ‘at one corner of Broad and Washington streets due to the lack of a proper building line when several structures were being built. The buildings were delayed until thé line could be established. It is expected that a favorable report be given at the close of the meeting. in a last a heed-on collision, Church Drive.
