Between 500 and 600 residents of Derlin, Kensington and East Beriin took advantage of the vaccination clinics given by the town during the past week and subjected themselves to the vaccination treatment as a safeguard against smallpox that has inereased in Middletown nd nearby towns, according to Dr. R. M. Gris- wold, local health officer. Dr. Griswold and First Selectman orge B. Carter, decided after a onference on Friday, January 13, that because of the spread of the .1sease in Middletown and its proxi- mity to Berlin it would be best to stablish the clinics in Berlin as a safeguard. A few cages had ap- peared in Cromwell, and as many people from that town come to East Berlin for their mail, 1t was thought that fhere was & possibility that the gisease would break out in East Barlin. . The clinics were established and continued dai and evening. Thi Athietie hall, American Legion hall and the town hall.

There has deen no sign of the dis- ease in Berin and the doctors feel fhat the resilents are practically im- mune becaute of the response to the clinten.

A plan for the elimination of both ! the East Main and FEast streets grade cromsings' at the same time will be submitted by the town at the hearing to be held in the State cap- itel in Hartford Thuraday morning with regard to bolishment " projected “by highway department. The new acheme, which has _been .. de- signed by Engineer. Joseph N. Mc- iKernan, has been approved. by the selectmen, Plainville Water Co., the missjon and several businessmen of the town and will be offered as an aiterpative to the plant of the state: Mr. McKernan's layout invelves the simultdneous elimination of both crossings and is vastly different from the highway department's proposal. | It will be iess costly and will result in jess damage to property, be be- hieves, in addition to doing at one blow twe things which the state must eventually carry out. ' The alternative which ' the town | will present calls for the blocking of both present crossings and the bullding of an overhead bridge to cross' the railroad and Pine street between the two present crossovers. The state has suggested merely ele- vating the road at East street, al plan which will invelve spilways to| carry roadway and trolley tracks on both Pine street and Woodford ave- nue and will make these intersect the proposed main highway at the| top of an incline—a eituation admit- ted by the state to be a dangerous one. Mr. McKernan would bridge Pine street as well as the raflroad tracks and would thereby avoid this hazardous intersection. From a point between the tracks and Pine strect a spillway would be created | running westward to reach the level at the present intersection of Pine | and East Main streets. This spillway would be used by traffic between the center and Blossom's corner, as the East Main street crossing would be | closed to automobile . traftic and would be erossed by pedestrians only | on a footbridge. | The runway to the bridge would begin at Blossom's corner and swing to the southwest through vacant land, whereas the state plan would involve the mpving of many houses along East street. Mr, McKerpan's scheme further would do no damage the East street| | George 8. .Carlson, G. Prel, Irying B. Lepore, and the Connecticut Light & Power Co. The western spillway would. en- tirely biot out the-present properties oi Florence Jay, Mary McGrath, Elizabeth V. McGrath, and Lucy Gloriant. Because of the blocking of the East Main street crossing, the iproperty between there and Blos- som's corner would suffer an in- convenience damage. To safeguard the western end of the spillway and to abolish 3 'danger which exists st present, Mr. Mc- | Kernan would iron out the curve made by the trolley tracks at the end of Pine street, carrying them through the property of Luigl D'An- tenio and Patrick Welch. Further, Pine street would be widened to 66 feet in preparation fer the often. broached new trynk line highway between Plainville apd New Britain via Woodford avenye. Blossom's corner would be made less dangerous by this plan, as the present crossing would be converted into a mere fork by the practical cessation of traffic. west of the in- tersection. Steps would be buijlt from Pine street to:the top of the elevation where it crossed that thor- |oughfare. An advantage of Mr. Mec- Kernan's plan not apparent at first is that it would leave the present | gas and water mains in East street untouched. The plan of the state, he says, would mean- the" interrup- tien of water service from New Britain. - Blueprints of the new_ plan were prepared this -aftergoon ‘and . are available for inspection at the office of the Plainville Water Co-on Pierce street. The town officials hope for a large delegation of interested prop- erty owners' at. the hearing Thurs- | day morning and would like the new plan inspected and compared with the former one. : Mayor Stevens to:Attend .
