 Columbia Street Line Hearing.
 There was a large delegation of Co., lumbia street property owners at the hearing on the proposed establlshlng of building lines on the street on the north side from the property or Ferdinand Heidecker to Linwood street and on the south side from George Ingraham's property to Lin wood street. James J. Watson, ap- bearing for Mrs. Dowd, said that she favored the line but would not care to pay damages. He said a 32-foot line on Columbia street and a 1O-foot line on GriswOld street would affect her property. A. H. Rice said that he did not think eleven property owners should be made suffer for one. He was never acquainted with the fact that there was no line on the street. Years ago when MT.

 Andrew Segerman favored a 15-foot line, as he had commenced plans for the erection of a three-family house. F. H. Afford said the establishing of a 32-foot line would heavily damage Mr. Segerman's property.
 Commissioner Downes moved to es- tablish a 3O-foot line on the north side of the present terminus to Linwood street and 16-foot line from there on. On the south side it was voted to have a 15-foot line from Griswold street the full distance.
 Two property owners of Short street appeared in regard to the ex- tension of the sewer in Short street from West street to Long street. George Krall favored the extension but George Horeist was uncertain whether or not he wanted it, and the matter was laid over until the board secures waivers as the street is not an accepted one.
