Some time ago th& street committee took up the matter of changing condi- tions in respect to grades at the cross- ing of the New Haven road on Main street. The city’s engineering depart- ment has now perfected the plans for the change, and hearings on the matter will be held in the near future. At present there is a slope from the north- arly to the southerly side of the street below the crossing, and in bad weather conditions are bad. The Norwica trolley stops at this pgint, and the change in conditions thére wil de ap- preciated by all who use that means of visiting the city. According to the proposed plans, the south side will be raised a foot and the north side lowered the same dis- tance, and the trolley track stralght- ened out at one point.
