PAVEMENT FOR END OF SOUTH MAIN ST Gity to Link Op With New Beech Swamp Highway One of the busfest meetings of the past year of the board of pub- lic works was held-last evening. City Engineer Joseph D. Williams announced that paving operations would begin on Monday, June 27, covering the portion of roadway from the end of South Main street to the Berlin line in preparation for the linking of South Main street and the proposed new state highway. He estimated the cost at about $7,000 and aanunced that the state highway commission had agreed, at a recent consultation, to lay a 20 foot !ll‘Q‘Of highway from the intersection “of South Main street and Stanley street northerly,tWith the first gentleman.” Stanley street being a state aid road. Such action by the state highway commission would do away with an edge on the South Main street paving as it led into the Beech Swamp road. The engineer stated that it was the city's inten- tion to lay the strip had the state refused to put in the portion, but the agreement reached with the highway commission had meant a saving of about $600 for the city. The South Main street paving, to- gether with the state paving, will combletely cover the triangular corner at the intersection of South Main and Stanley streets. Ellis Street Lines Disputed A hearing for the establishment of a new street and grade line on Ellis street from Stanley street to Rocky Hill avenue, met with oppo- sition from Attorney Donald Gaff- ney, counsel for the Ellis and Smith properties. City Engineer Williams stated that the hearing had been called for the purpose of settling a controversy regarding street lines which had resulted from improper surveying in 1915. In 1905 the property was surveyed and the strect lines laid out, prior to the development of the land but later surveying operations in 1915 by the developers of the land who ! sold building lots were found to be improper, giving the north side residents more property than their deeds called for and the south side | residents less. Attorney Gaffney, in speaking of the move, stated that he thought the street,was better left as it was. Séwers had been laid, shrubbery and sidewalks had been installed and for 22 years the present strect line had been accepted. “If you can change that by this meeting tonight, you can change anything,” he stated. Attorney Gaffney also pointed out that the adoption of the new build- ing lines would mean a jog in the strect at the intersection of Stanley street. He decried the need for a fog now that the street intersected Stanley street in a straight line. “Because F. H. Oldershaw, when he surveyed this property for the; grantors, made a blunder, should the property owners come to the city NEW 348 MAIN ST. Opp. COMMERCIAL .

They have only one course to take, if their deeds call for more land than they actually have, and that is suit against the grantor of the property. They have no action against the city. “Why take away so much proper- ty from the south side and give it to ‘the north side? This is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The legal rem- edy for the situation is against the grantor and not against the city.” In calling the roll of. residents, it was found that they agreed to the proposed change providing the side- walks and hedges were not disturb- red. Attorney Gaffney pointed out to the city engineer that although the residents agreed to the change with | { this provision, nothing could prevent | the city from changing the sidewalk | lines at some future date it the street line was adopted. City En- gineer Willlams sald that while he| would never advise such a change there was no provision which could | prevent the city from taking such a| course if it saw fit, A laughable incident’ came about during the calling of the roll. Aun Ellis street resident in replying to his name stated that “he agreed Attorney Gaffney being the first man to speak on the subject turned to the { man and asked if he meant that he | agreed with the attorney’s views. The Ellis street resident saide 0, T mean the first man that spoke in favor of it.” | Attorney Gaftney turned to City Engigeer Williams and remarked: “He said the first—gentleman Considerable laughter followed this sally. Carbo Making Profit on City | John Carbo of Berlin, owner of | [ the Carbo Brick Co. I8 minus a| source of income as a result of ac-| tion of the board last evening. City Engineer Williams read a letter! from Cornelius J. Danaher of Meri-| den which had been sent to the; mayor, stating that a resident of | the house at the sewer heds in Ber- lin had complained to him regard- ing the treatment he had received trom his landlord, Carbo, who rents the house from the city. The resi- dent said that he would rather deal direct with the city than through a landlord. Investigation showed that Carbo was receiving $14 a month for the complainant’s portion of the house and paying the city $12 a \momh rent. The house was rented to the Berlin brick manufacturer with the understanding that he im- prove the property, the city engi- neer pointed out, and he stated that he was sure that Carbo had receiv- cd benefits for any improvements he had put into the house by this time from his rent. Two tenants occupy the house at the sewer beds, he stated. Committeeman Thomas Crowe stated that in his opinion it would be better for the city to assume pro- prictorship of the house and rent it| to filter bed employes whenever! possible. It was voted that the city take over the house and assume re- | sponsibility of tenancy. Willlams, in | passing, stated that in his opinjon, | the city/would do well to tear the| { house down and have the trouble disposed of. City Engineer Willlams also out- lined the need for a new tractor. A machine was purchased in 1922 and has outlived its usefulness, he said, repair bills running high. It was ! company stated that although | voted to include the item in the next budget and to try to run the pres- ITAIN’S B ent machine through this year. The tractor was in service this past winter during the snow season, the engineer said, and has given good service throughout its career. Gas Station Hearings An application for the granting | of a permit to operate a gasoline filling station on the southwest cor- ner of Farmington avenue and Ba- ruda stieets was filed by Frederick Murphy. The station is 75 feet south of its former location. The application was granted upon the review of blue prints and drawings. The continuation of a hearing held June 14 concerning the application of the Maston Operating Co. for a gas station on the northwest corner of South Main and Trinity streets was held. Representatives of the the driveway on Trinity street was nearer the corner than the 20 feet called for by the state laws, they thought the situation was not dan- gerous and filed their intentions of | improving the property to meet the hoard's decision. that* 85 per cent of the traffic wa on South Main street and that the | station had been operated for sev- eral years by the Go-Gas Corpora- tion without accident. The board voted to lay the matter over for in- spection. A continuation of a hearing re- garding the approval of a permit of the Atlantic Refining Co. for the location of a gas station on the | southwest corner of Kelsey street | {and Rocky Hill avenue, received an affirmative vote. The hearing was | continued for the submission of the necessary blue prints. Lines on Roxbury Road A petition for the granting of a hearing for the residents of Rox- burx road for the establishment of street and grade lines was received. City Engineer Willilams stated tha the only course the city could pur- sue with the owners was the con- demning of the street and the es- tablishment of the city’'s own street altered his plans to call for a differ- | and grade lines.
