NEW PLAN FOR STREET WIDENING
Submitted City Authorities by J. B. Shannon For
Little Water Street-Advantageous Proposition Re-
ceived With Much Favor.

Pursuant to his statement of few
days ago. when he purchased the Pot
ter property in Little Water street
James B. Shannon has made another
offer TO the city authorities concern
ing the widening of Little Water
street which is reported as being con-
it reduces the cost of making such an
Improvement materially, and it is
thought will bring the Improvement
within the bounds of possibility
Until the entire matter is decided,
there being other property owners to
see. the terms of the proposition are
withheld, but the fact that the offer
the city leads TO the belief that if the
rest of the plan can be put through as
well. that it will be but short time
now before a city meeting Will be held
TO consider an outlay for the project
The idea is to make a straight line
the south side of Little Water
freet from Shetucket street to Market
taken up by the board of trade some
time ago and referred to the court of
common council which, on securing
the figures from the property owners
1t that time. found it could not be
done less than $4,000, and that they
did not think the citizens would vote
1t The new proposition reduces that
amount materially. inasmuch Mr.
Shannon has since purchased the Pot
ter property and is in q position to do
better by the city. This change, as
shown by the above plan, which was
made some time ago when the mat
Ter was first considered will make
wide street for the business section of
the city and relieve congestion at

CASE WILL REACH
THE JURY TODAY.
Suit of Gallup VS.. Campbell for In
Juries Received in Auto Collision.


The suit of II. II. Gallup VS.. s. z.
injuries received in an auto collision
az Norwich Town in July, 1909. was
resumed in the civil superior court
here on Tuesday before Judge Reed
and q jury.
1t was testified by Peter Freer Of
Bridgeport that he was driving the car
in which Mr. Gallup was riding and
was on the right side of the street.
He was not going fast
The first witness for the defense was
E. A Tracy. who was in the Campbell
car. He stated that he was riding
ba edwards and that the Gallup auto
passed in front of them and there
was a collision. A. c. Hill of Will
mantle also testified
The defendant, Mr.. Campbell. test-
fed that the Gallup car ran into his
car, which was only two feet from the
curb at the Johnson home He claim
ed the Gallup car was going % miles
ar hour He claimed Chauffeur F'reer
said he was behind time and running
IA st and because of the accident might
lose his job Mr.. Campbell asid his
frame was badly bent, but he was able
to run ii to the city.
Attorney Perkins was allowed to
show that Mr. Campbell ran into Rev
C. B. Morgan in New Haven Nov. IA,
1908, and that as the result the clergy
man died and Mr. Campbell was SEN
fenced to ten days in Jail and fined
$192.e4
Mr. Campbell said his car was going
but FIVE miles an hour at Norwich
Town. Mr.. F'reer denied in rebuttal
that his car was making % miles an
hour and that it was near the Johnson
home curb.
The testimony completed, arguments
were made by Attorneys Allyn l..
Brown. Arthur NJ Brown and Attor-
ney Thomas. This morning Attorney
D. G. Perkins will close and after the
charge by the judge the case will go TO
the jury.
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1911-11-15

desirable point 1T is stated that if
the change is made Mr.. Shannon pro-
poses to make a rounding corner on
his new building when erected at the
corner of Shetucl1et and Market STREETS,
which will give the street quite a. ben
eft there.
When public Improvements have
been considered Mr.. Shannon has al
ways been found ready to do his share
and when he erected his Auditorium
hotel gave a good sized slice of the
corner to the city, without any cost
whatever, though it was at point
where it commands a good figure In
this new proposition it is understood
that his offer is Very liberal one.
The widening of Little Water street
on the plan proposed in the above
outline. the new street line being indi-
Gated by the dotted line, MIR. Shannon
would sell ALSO square feet and there
would be 1,012 square feet with build
ing TO be secured from DR.. Cassidy.
The change would make the street 81
feet wide on Market street, while it is
now so feet in width at Shetucket
street. For some distance in the street
there would be- u greater width.
In discussing the cost of such an i'm
provement. this week. a citizen was
of the opinion that the city would not
be obliged to meet the entire expense
in one year. In his opinion it would
be wise to create a sinking fund for
the Improvement and lay aside a half
mill or so each year and it would be
but a few years before the entire
amount would be raised and no one
would feel il.
1t is likely now that the matter will
be brought to a focus and some action
taken on the matter in the near fu-
ture.
