Large Attendance at Hearings After adjourning in the afternoon jat 5 o'clock the board held its scc- ,ond meeting of the day at o'clock. The hearing room Jammed to the doors and many stood outside. The first hearing concerned | the laying of sidewalks on both sides ,of Farmington avenue from Allen Istreet to Blake road. Most of the Property owners were in favor of the | sidewalks, about seven voicing dis- approval. The street has the new Holy Cross church and two schools tbordering on it and two trustees of [the church appeared at the mceting nd were strongly in favor of the ewalks. Alderman Frank Zapat. | ka addressed the board and asked the sidewalks be laid as safety meas- ure for school children and because of the heavy traffic that passes over the road. It was voted to lay the petition over until an inspection can be made by the hoard and the en gineer. A hearing was held on the pro- posed installation of a sewer on Lan- ders avenue, from Kast street to Sherill street. Only one property owner opposed the improvement so it was voted to order the sewers laid. Declare Corner Dangerous A petition was read asking that a building line be established on Arch street, between Locust and Monrce streets, of at least feet. Residents of the street spoke before the board and admitted that their petition had been made too late as a building had already been built at the corner of Locust and Arch-streets, making the corner dan- gerous, but they wished to protect themselves in the future by havipg the line established now. One pro- erty owner described the corner as Dead Man's Corner,” while another owner stated that the state is tear- ing down buildings to eliminate blind | corners while the city 6f New Brit- {ain is allowing them to be built. It {was stated by a number of owners that if the city had inspected the cor- ner the permit for the present build- ing would not have been granted. City Engineer Merian stated that the board had no choice in the mat- ter and a permit must be issued without consideration of a line un-| | less the property owners petition for the establishment of a line. This was not done at the time the permit was |issued. The board voted to adopt| {the restriction that no new building {be erected on the street within sev- ten feet of the street line. | Other Petitions Received A petition was read asking that an | electrie light be installed in front of {458 Corbin avenue. Upon mendation of the engineer the board ivoted to relocate one light and in- stall a new one. Petitions asking for the removal of trees at the follow |ing addresses were granted: 246, 242 : Broad street, 219 Beaver street, 108, 110 Roxbury road, corner of Bral- ley and West Main street and in |tront of the old T.
