An important town meeting will be held this evening in the Town hall when the proposed building line on West Main street, between Pierce and ‘Washington streets, will be discussed. The building line to be established will be on the north and south sides of the street and has been under con- sideration for some time. Chairman A. H. Condell of the town plans com- mission will preside and F. L. Benzon Wwill act as clerk. The meeting will begin at R o'clock and all parties in- terested have been requested to at- tend. The new building line will as- sist greatly in overcoming certain difficulties that are encountered when new structures are to be built as con- siderable time is lost in establishing the correct line in order to proceed with the work, it is argued. The lack of proper building lines on Broad and Washington streets caused the delay of several buildings to be erected. It for | is expected that favorable action will be taken at the meeting.
