 What might have resulted in a more serious accident occurred last evening on the Farmington avenue road :n front of the John Trumbull residence, when two autos figured in a hesd-on collision, in which the occups nts were more or less shaken up. As. it was, large touring car of the Rec make, coming from Mer- iden and owned and driven by H. A. Fem and a Chevrolet roadster from Hartford driven by a party whose name could not be learned, crashed into one another with considerable damage to both cars. The occupants of the Hartford car sustained severe cuts about the face from the wind shield, while MT. Fenn, driver of the Meriden car, had his chest injured by the steering wheel. pr. J. N. Bull hurried to the scene and attend ed the injured persons. MT. Fenn was accompanied by his wife while the Hartford car had four occupants.
 The accident was unavoidable as it was learned that the pin in the steering apparatus of the Hartford car became loose with the result that the driver lost control of the car and it swerved across the read directly into the path of the other vehicle Both were travelling at moderate rate of speed. MT. Fenn attempted to steer clear of the car but was too late to avoid the crash. The radia- tors of both autos were smashed as well as the wheels of the Hartford car. They were unable to proceed upon their way and the cars were lowed to a local garage. Henry Trumbull assisted the injured per sons and drove the Meriden party to their home.
 large crowd was attracted to the scene of the accident and rendered what aid they could.
 May Have Building Line.
 Notices have been posted about the town regarding a meeting to be held on July 26 at the Town Hall relative to a building line being esta ablished on the north and south sides of West Main street. This building or yer anda line will be between Pierce and Washington streets and considerable arguments have come to light re- garding it. A. H. Condell, chairman of the town plans commission, will preside and F. L. Benson will act as clerk. All parties interested have been requested to attend. According to the statements of the town plans commissioners. there are several streets that are in need of a build ing line being established. It will be remembe the difficulties that were encountered at one corner of Broad and Washington streets due to the lack of a proper building line when several structures were being built The buildings were delayed until the line could be established. It is expected that a favorable report will be given at the close of the meeting.
