ASK CONGRESS- ST. WIDENING AT ONCE


 The Terry estate which owns the property at the northwestern corner of Congress street and Housatonic avenue is contemplating erecting a: big business building there to cost in the neighborhood of $15O, 900. The managers of the estate, however, do not wish to make improvements un- til the question of the widening of the street as proposed about three years ago, is definitely settled.
 Accordingly Bartlett, Kee1er and Conn, lawyers, representing the estate introduced in the council last night a resolution t'to widen Congress street on the northerly side. eastefly from Main street to Housatonic avenue and substantially in compliance with a layout on file, prepared by a.scofnBait- tee of the common council some three or four years ago.
 The resolution points out that ow- ing to the character of the buildings recently erected on the south side Of the street, it would be impractical to wideu by taking property there. If the widening of the street in view of the city's growth and development is deemed a. public necessity, the Terry estate managers think the matter should be determined at once, espe- cfa1ly in view of the contemplated a .improvements to the property.
 The resolution was referred to the streets and sidewalks committee ,f7s-
