Plainville News l COMMISSION DROPS W, HAIN WIDENING Acoepts Wishes of Propery Owners—Newton Ave. Delay WARRANT -1§ RETURNED Prosecutor Will Take New Action in Perosky Case—Mataosian Hearing Tonight—Christmas Mailing In- structions—Boy Still Critical. The proposal to set back the build- | ing lines on both sides of West Main | street in order to allow for future ’Conlon will prosecute, while Attor-|held daily. widening was dropped at least for the present by the town plan com. mission at its meeting last night. This project met with everwhelm- ing opposition from the property owners along the street when a hear- ing was held three weeks ago, and the commission, while still feeling its suggested action would be advisable, decided to accept this expression of opinion, as it considers itself the agent by which the people's desires may be carried out. The building line will remain at three feet instead of the proposed ten. No further action in the matter will be taken unless it The improving of Newton avenue was postponed until spring. At a re- cent hearing the property ownags on this strect were about evenly divided on the advisability of accepting the layout prepared by the commission, but the opposition was mainly to fm. mediate action. Some said that they thought nothing should be done un- til East strect had been improved, 80 the commission has decided to delay until spring to await any pos- sible action by ~the state on East street, The appointment of benefits on | Prentice street was completed, and notices will be sent out by Secretary Frank T. Wheeler, The cost of improving Woodford avenue extension has been estimated. This estimate includes the removal of 4,000 cubic yards of carth—a steam shovel job—surfacing with stone, and installation of culverts to care for surface water in the spring, and the figure is $5,000. There are some property owners opposed, and ithe presence of the trolley right of way allows houses on only one side of the street, so it s ¥ considered doubtful if the residents will want 10 go ahead with the work. They { will be notified and and their wishes ascertained. The commission blocked out fts work in the immediate future and plans to take up Milford, Kent, and Woodland streets at its next meet- {ing. Warrant Is Returned At the request of Grand Juror Charles I. Conlon the warrant for the arrest of Joseph J. Perosky of Irvington, N. J., has been returned | by the state police department after the department had failed to make service because it considered there was insufficient evidence against the New J man. Perosky was charged with criminal negligence and evading responsibility in con- nection with the death of Robert E. vdon on Farmington avenue last month. The state police assert that Per- osky was not sufficiently identified to warrant action against him. Pros. utor Conlon says that the two men in the first car to hit Lydon read the numbers on the New Jersey car and he feels this is ample to war- rant at least a hearinge E. B. Bar- ker of West Hartford, driver of the first machine, was to be tried tomor- row, but the case will be held up until Perosky can be brought back. The prosecutor is planning further action, but today he would not di- vulge just what this was nor state whether or not he would take the matter up dircctly with the state's attorney’s office.
