High School Nine Loses Plainville High school lost another bascball game yesterday afternoon when Watertown downed it by 10-5 lin a game of loose fielding in Wa- [tertown. Carl Peterson, who worked for the locals, pitched well and held the home team to seven hits, but his infield gave him rank support | and committed strings of disastrous errors. Had It not been for these Plainville might well have won, for it hit at timely moments and &how «d plenty of pep even after the dis- couraging second inning. Coach Gallup's charges got away |to a good sta when, with one down in the first inning, Conlin was {=afo on an error and scored on hits thy Tolli and Gerke. In the second | frame, however, the game was thrown away. Aracari lost a third strike, but the next two men were vetired and the damage appeared retrieved.

Three consecutive hits, a | fly, and an infield out gave the home team a trio of scores in the sixth, while in the seventh Gregory walked and rode home on Conlin's long single.

Commission DOOLITTLE CROSSING CASE Railroad Gives Views Before City Council—Bids on New Firchouse —South Street Extension—Sewer Contract—Other News Mems, The city council was mildly cen- sured last evening by General Su- perintendent Edward 1 an of the New York, Now 1l and Hartford Railroad company tor re- questing a hearing Lefore the publi utilities commission on the Doo- little's crossing problem before tal ing the matter up with railroad ficials. He intimated that in likelihood the commission learning that such a step had been first taken, would have refus to consider such evidence as mi have been available Mr. Regan pointed out that a reh of his files had failed to re- al any instance pany had not tullest extent city of Bristol in any brought to its attention. He viewed the order of the public ties commission months ago, all upon | not it where his com to officials of cooperated with the matter utiti- issued reby the installa- tion of a flash light warning system was authorized at the cros anl also pointed out fhat the order per- mitted the discontinuance of the flagn service at the point in Question. This man was kept on, he stated, to see just ho e system would work and is still ciployed at the crossing. I understood that the state highway department had under consideration a plan to elim- inate the crossing at grade entirely, but hoped that some other satisfac- tory igement, which would the city and the railroad an enor- mous expense, could be worked out. Councilman Homer H. Judd, chairman of the committeo appoint- ed by Mayor Crumb to investigate tlie crossing problem, presented a plan drawn by City Engineer Carle- ton W. Tucll, which provides for the reestablishment of the old dou- ble crossing arrangement, in place of the present wide crossing. One crossing would join Burlington av- enue with Maple strect and the sec- ond would connect Farmington av- enue and North street. The plan also called for the placing of a flag- man's tower on the cast side of the tracks hetween the two crossings, from which point the watchman would operate a double sot of ates, one set protecting each crossing. s recommendation also would provide for 24-hour protee- tion.

This is an casthound freight train. The last Passenger train goes weet, leaving the Bristol station at 9 saving time) and passes over the | crossing at 9:48 p. . Following a lengthy discussion, Mr. Regan agreed to take the matter up at once with the grade croesing | committec of his company and would | instruct them to look the situation | over some day next week. Upon re- ceipt of the committee’s report, he will consider the matter further and wil make known his decision at the council mecting on June 5th. Accompanying Mr. Regan last night were R. L. Pearson, engineer, maintenance of way; C. H. Morrison, signal engineer; I 1. Waterman, sistant chief engineer; J. J.

It is believed that a meeting of the Luilding committee, consisting of {W. S. Ingraham, W. Kenneth Ses- sions, and Chief John H.

Several residents of the street appeared and asked that the council make arrangements to take care of the surface water which floods the street following cach heavy rain, SuperIntendent of Publie Works Oscar Anderson pointed out that the only solution Was to lay a surface sewer line from Haig avenue to Jerome av- enue. To do this it would be nec- €Ssary to cross over several prive ately owned sections and the cost, in his opinion, would amount te thousands of dollars. Councilman Charles Anderson pointed out that a similar request would probably be made to the council by property ners of Hoover avenue and Mer- cier road, which run parallel to Haig avenue, and these should be | considered before any aetion in taken on the surface sewer. Neither of the strcets mentioned have as vet been accepted by the eity. Sewer Contract Awarded The contract for the laying of an cight inch sanitary sewer on Terry- ville avenue was awarded to Dom. inick Palmisano, local contractor. He agreed to perform the work at $1.15 a lineal foot. Claim Presented Frank Lupo presented a clatm to the city council for three Belgium hares, killed by a dog several days ago.

Building Linc Hearing A hearing on the establishment of 4 building line on Sessions street Will be held in conjunction with the regular council meeting on June 5. A Detition signed by several proper- 'y owners requested such action. Seeks Wage Increase Councilman W. E. Hough brought up the matter of tncreased compen- tion for the caretaker of the com- fort station on Main street. At the present time, Peter Botto, who was appoined by the late Mayor John I, Wade, now received $1 a day. Following a short discussion th matter was referred to Oscar An- dereon, superintendent of public works, for investigation and subsc- quent recommendation. New Scwer Beds Three new sewer beds, instead of |two, as originally planned will b built adjoining the present sewer beds, as a resuit of a decision mads by the city council last evening. This work will be done by the department of public works under the super- vision of Superintendent Oscar An- derson and City Engineer Carleton W. Buell.
