 Shows IS TOO NEAR TO HIS HOUSE

Plan cimmittee held in the towI
 Plans committee held in the tow. hall last night, arguments were hearC Tor and against the proposed rOat leading from Broad street to tn, PlainVille Casting Co. Joseph Deloy, property owner who would be affected by the new street, gave the commls sion jolt when he announced tha
 he would not give the land as marked on the map as 1t would affect hi. yard. He did howerer, agree to give some land providing the road was moved 50 feet west of his property and made to commence nearer the Grammar school. As the map now shows, the road would bc about 33 feet from the Deloy home Mir. Deloy claims that the land r. worth at least $2,000. The commission however, accepted the present map with it's layout running through the Deloy property and should MT. Deloy | claim damages, he can do so and ap- peal to the court. The commission will hold meeting this week again and thrash out the matter.
 Another good suggestion was offer l [. owns a stretch of property running along the railroad track from th" Casting company to Washington street. | His proposition was to have the present road accepted and made out not to stop at the factory but to con tinue through his property and ou | onto Washington street He offered to give land running for a distance of 1000 feet parallel with the tracks and 80 feet to South Washington street to make a 50 foot road. This would mean a roadway from Broad street crossing Bess avenue, over to the Casting company and then through the kosenko land to Washington street
 It would throw open that part of the town for development. MT. Kosenkc felt that he would be amply repald in giving the town the land as hr would build in the near future and that section of Plainville would be built up. He also said that if the com mission did not act at once on his proposition but did so later, he would not be SO willing to give the land and would then seek to charge damages. The commission however could not act on that matter as the petition being presented called for a road from Broad street to the Casting company only.
 Henry s. Washburn, representing he Plainville Casting company, as serted that the company is willing {" contribute a stretch of land leading from Bess avenue to the plant.
 Mary McGuire, being represented by William l.. Cofferty, does not desire Q give the land outright and feel hat she out to he paid. That the new road will not improve her property for building, is her opinion. | deed granting the town 50 feet through the land of Marcella and FL | 'en Coughlin was promised providing | he property would not be assessed too | high for it's benefits.
 The commission in it's summary saw fit therefore to have the present plans remain as they are. F. D. Gridley acts as chairman during the meeting and Frank T. Wheeler was clerk. Legion Smoker
