Highway Commissioner in Berlin. A state highway cosmissioner met several Berlin property owners yes- terday in regards to the water con- dition on a part of Berlin street. It appears that there is no gutter the left side of Berlin street from Woodruff's corner to where Patterson Lane intersects When the new was laid by the state it was ised and the water, in case of storms, runs from the right side of the road to the left and causes several residen on this side of the road to have wa- ter in their cellars or a muddy con- dition about the house. In having a representative of the commissioner's office here it was thought that some provision might be made for the draining of the water and also to notice the fact that Pat- erson Lane at the point it runs into Berlin street is almost a straight two- foot grade and hard for machines or | horses to climb. First Selectman George Carter was present vesterday when the commissioner was here. A\s a result of the inquiry the commis- sioner stated that he would take it up with the Hartford office and the local people would have to wait until ) further notice. to the town of Berlin, which, well known citi- The bill n by Repre- of New request of Britain The bill se according to several zens is not needed. question was introduced sentative Richard Covert Britain in the house upon the secretary of the New Chamber of Commerce. requires that a guage be placed under the bride that the depth of the water may ascertained In case of storms and is a flood under the bridge.

The new Whiting been started, addition to the Tani block street, which has has been the throughout the town. Many of the citizens feel in- clined to be wrought up over it, while others believe it will add to the bus- inessli.e appearance of Plainville. As it is, the block is across from the post office and has three stores in it. The nt entrances of these stores had n fully seven feét back from the siaewalk, with a low veranda extend- ing out in ficnt. Mr. Tani has made plans to have the veranda removed, which has been done, and in place of it. will erect an entire new front which will be one story high and will not come out any further than where the old veranda had extended. The selectmen have granted the owner a permit to continue foundation has been laid. The ar- gument at the present time is that some think it will be out too far on the sidewalk and make a bad appear- ance on this account. It is thought that some time in the near future, and other iness places will be built on this side of Whiting street, which will necessi- tate establishing a building line. This then will probably be back a great deal further than where the new extension of the block is. on recent- Ty source of much comment the grounds that the new struc- ture will be but one story high and not to come out beyond seven feet of the curb. The owner at first wished to have a brick front and stand two stories high which is the present hcight of the building. This request him. In case the block .was torn down and a new one to be rebuilt, it would have to go back several feet. The proposed front will be on the same line out the limit. The selectmen could of course have condemned the pro- ject but felt no real necessity to do | so. John T.egrandi, contractor in charge of the work. is inclined to feel that some particular citizens have worked themselves into an unnccessary state of excitement over the building, in- as much as the local authorities had consented to have it built. The proprictors of the Italian- store which is lo- cated in the building adjoining the ni block, are against the new front claiming that it will extend further out on the street thun their place and .
