HILLGREST AVENUE INZONING DISPUTE Ordinance Committee Rejects " Adjustment Board Yote A stiff controversy in the com- mon council is anticipated as a re- ‘sult of the action of the ordinance ‘committee last evening in voting to Teject the recommendation of the board of adjustment that the peti- ‘tion of Miss Hattie 'T. Peterson for a change in zone on Hillcrest ave- nue be granted. When the matter was before the board of adjustment there was no opposition, according to Secretary Thomas Linder, who sat with the ordinance committee last evening, and the board, after inspecting the affected premises, felt the petition should be granted. Last evening a delegation of prop- erty owners on Hillcrest avenue told the ordinance committee the retitioner was “a speculative build- | er” and that if the petition W granted, it would mean the de- struction of the section as a one- family house district. Those appearing in opposition to the proposed change were E. E. Ludwigson of 50 Hillerest avenue, William J. Long of 1403 Stanley | street, whose property backs into the affected district, Fred E. Carl- | son of 51 Hillcrest avenue, Leon E. | Jackson of 99 Hillerest avenue and | Paul V. Guiberson of 115 Hillcrest avenue. They represented that they own single houses on the street and | are strongly opposed to allowing | two-family dwellings there, The | matter before the committee ap- peared in the following lang | | “For change of zome on the west | | side of Hillcrest | feet weste | ary of Hillcre avenue “from a point 209 feet morth of the morth side of Stanley street northerly to | a point opposite the north line of Residence B district on the east | side of Hillcrest avenue, with this | addenda: Said district to extend 125 | y from the west houmj avenue.

GIBSON'S VIEWS IN ACGORD WITH U. . Statement on 10,000 Ton Cruis- ¢rs Clarifies Disagreement Washington, July address of Ambassador 15.—(A—The Gibson at NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1927. BRIDGEMAN BACKED BY BRITISH PRESS (Geneva Statements on Naval| Strength Widely Approved London, July' 15.—(#—The speech at Geneva of W. C. Bridgeman, out- lining Great Britain's position with regard to cruisers, was given a pro- minent showing in the London morn- | ing newspapers and the first lord of | the British admiralty received many | editorials pats on the back for his masterly effort. The Chronicle describes it as a | “determined attempt on Great Brit- the Geneva naval conference should | dispel the _ idea that the United States created the 10,000 ton cruiser type for its own purposes in the opinion of Washington officials. Resenting the implication that this type was evolved at the insist- ence of the United States, the Wash- ing on government feels Mr. Gib- |son has clarified this viewpoint by his statement showing the Washing- ton conference had adopted this ton- nage for maximum size in this cla without controversy. The officials that, while the American navy had no equivalent ship the British in 1919, two years hefore the Washington parley, had four cruisers of 50 tons each and | from falling,” | of hope that moment is this led to the adoption of the 10,- | 000 maximum tonnage type. Another point of disproving a motive on the part of America to create this type for its own needs was cited in the fact that the United | States will have no such vessel in commission until 1929, having start- ed to build four of these cruisers only in 1926. Since the Washington conference the information reach- ing officials here shows that Great Britain has built 15 vessels of this class. The British delegation is practi- cally alone on . the maximum ton- nage cruiser question, it is believed here by Mr. Gibson stressing the {similarity of the viewpoints of the American and se delegations. However, the offic here believe the frank views of the hcad of the American delegation will tend to bring a more reasonable discussion to the conference and will | competition enter into | that “no s basis of | react favorably upon British opinion. | The officials arc iew with merit the postpone the suggestion to conference and are | hopeful that a complete understand- at- ing for the negotiations will he tained. | e Norwalk Man Struck by Train and Badly Hurt Norwalk, July 15 () — Arthur Bishop of 10 Oakwood road, Nor- walk, is in the Norwalk hospital tn la serious condition after belng train at the Norwalk station last night.
