Patrick Welch, 76, & resident of Plainville for the past 50 years, died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wilfred of 121 Linden street. |due to a heart aftack, |not_entirely unexpected, Welch had been ill He was born in Ireland but gmi- grated at an early age and had lived in this town for ‘half a cen- tury. Mr. Welch is survived by ftwo daughters, Mrs. W. A. Boliver of this town and Mrs. Clarence Mason of Farmington: one son, Bernard H. Welch of Chicago: two grand- children, Helen and Virginia Boli- ver; and a eister, Mrs. C. C. Brady of Southington. Funeral services will be held at 9 o'clock Monday morning at the |home of Mrs. Boliver and at 9:30 o'clock at the Church of Our Lady {of Mercy. Interment will be in £t Joseph's cemetery. Features of New Plan All features to which objection was raised at the recent hearing on the elimination of the grade rail- |read crossing at East streef are elim- inated by a new plan which has been prepared by Engineer Joseph N. McKernan, while it is further claimed for’ the plant. |open up much land which is now in- |accessible and undeveloped. |map drawn in connection with the revised scheme, which was taken by Mr. McKernan at the re- quest of the public utilities commis- |sion, will be on view Monday night at the meeting of the town plan commission.

There is no eclevated highway crossing or junction as i (he other plans, a minimum of pro. | perty is damaged and what is taken |is of comparatively little value, and the trolley line and gas and water | mains are unaffected. Mr. McKernan's new scheme s on the same gencral lines as the old one, calling for the swinging of Last strect to the west from Blos- som's corner, carrying across the railroud tracks at a height of feet and over Pine streef at 13 feet, way at the corner of Maple and East strects—further south than old plan.

The property which would be sacrificed would include that of Joseph and Mary Marino, through which the new highway would return to East street, that of Augustine Lepore, and some of that owned by the Connecti- cut Light & Power Co. A corner would also be diced off the property | of Alphonse and Margaret Bordeau at Blossom's corner. The outlet to Hough street would go through the land of William Cunningham and Albert and Emma Richards, opening up a large tract which is now “back vard”., The out- let to East street would go through the land of Antonio and Mary Mel lito. Another means of egress would be provided by the cutting of Elm Court through to the proposed outlet. One great advantage of the plan would be that there woéuld be no pedestrians on the highway. Foot traffic would proceed down East to the railroad tracks, up stairs and along a specially bracketed section running beside the bridge. and then down again at Pine street. The two principal arguments for the new lavout, according to Mr. McKernan, are the avoiding of a highway crossing above grade—a feature for which it is believed the jeet the highway department's plan —and the taking of pedestrians off the highway. Further, there is less fill and less property damage than | n either previous proposa®, while fhe little damage to property would be offset by the opening up of new land now useless. The eastern section of the town would be laid open for development by the latest plan. It js proposed | that eventually Maple street and the | suggested ontlet street be extended eastward toward Mountain View, hile a new street may be eut| southward to them from near the Trumbull factory. The only de- | veloped property affected by these street openings would be that of Henry and Elizabeth David and | Katherine Connors on East street Church of Our Saviour (Episcopal) The gervices this Sunday will he as follows: Holy communion at § Church &chool at 10:25 a. m.
