A hearing on the establishment of a building line om Whiting street was held at the Towh hall last night by the town plans commission and bu- reau of assessment and awards. The meeting had been adjourned from last week Monday when the new street line, recently surveyed by Su- perintendent Joseph N. McKernan was found to have not been accepted by the selectmen. The map has, how- ever, been approved of by the offi- cials with the result that arguments on the establishing of the line were heard last night. Whiting street has been the bone of contention for some time and many of the property own- ers are in favor of the new line while equally as many are agalnst it. W. J. Phelan of Bristol, represent- ed Mrs. Catherine Tracey who has interests in the Russell property at Central Square, a piece of land which will be affected greatly by the pro- posed line. Mr. Phelan said that Mrs. Tracey was in no position to make any remarks on the project at present until the establishment of the line is some time properly made. Meritt O. Ryder, appearing for Myron Ro- gers, proprietor of the Plainville Bak- ing company on Whiting street, was in favor of having the line as it is at present. Henry Trumbull gave a short outline of what the new line would mean to the future betterment of the town and approved of having the line started at the P. Hutton Clothing store at Central Square. This would enlarge the section at that place considerably and as the spot is dangerous at present for heavy traffic it would eliminate this. The beauty of the center would also be improved upon thought Mr. Trum- bull inasmuch as it is far too nar- row now. Mr. Phelan agreed with Mr. Trumbull on this point and felt also that it would improve the looks of the center. Mr. Trumbull brought home the fact that there is no possible parking space in Central Square and approved | of widening the street at Bordeau’s barber shop fully 72 feet. “There should be room for two car tracks, a place to park two automobiles, and space left for traffic to pass,”” said Mr. 1921, THE OLD HOME TOWN A DOG FIGHT TOOK PLACE ON MAIN STREET TODAY - ONE OF THE DOGS IN_ TOWA — A STRANGER seven feet on both sides. Senator John H. Trumbull spoke in favor ot the proposed line as did also Stanley S. Gwillim, representing the Sidewalk committee of the Chamber of Com- merce. The Town Plans commission will therefore consider the plans now un- der way and make ap investigation of the street. Should they approve of the many changes; the matter will be laid before the selectmen of the town who will in turn consult the peo- ple regarding an appropriation to carry on the work. It will undoubt- edly be a great expemse to Plainville as the moving of several buildings will have to be paid for. The com- mission has some two months yet in which to make its decision. Should any property owners fail to see the importance of establishing the line and find that it injures their land in any respect, their case will have to be heard before the court of common pleas. The real source of trouble over the building line commenced when the new additions on the Tani block, across from the postoffice, was start- ed. to go shead with this work and many of the residents disapproved of it, saying that it was being carried too far out on the street and resulting in | a jagged appearance. The new Town Hall is some day to be built at the corner of Maple and Whiting streety and the necessity of establishing a proper line to go by is essential ac- cording to the officials of the town. Post Holds Meeting The Brock-Barnes post held its regular meeting last night. Plans were considered for the Memorial Day celebration and other future activities discussed, A short meeting was held and some reports of the various com- mittees were presented.
