 The Town plan commission held busy session at the Town hall last
 night when several matters of i'm
 portance were discussed and hearings scheduled for proposed changes on
 West Main street which have been considered for long time.
 It is proposed to establish a three
 foot building line on West Main street as recommended on a map drown by Engineer Joseph M Me-
 Herman and now on file at the town clerks office. The map has been adopted by the Town plan commits sion as being suitable to their pro- posed changes. It calls for a radi- cal change on the side where the Bristol Mills are located especially near the railroad tracks which section will undoubtedly undergo some very important changes If the plans of the commission mature It is the
 purpose of the commission to rec ommend cut at the end of the fac tory fence near the gateman's house at the crossing which would make the street about 10 feet wider at that particular section. This would also bring the south side of West Main street on a better line with Gen. tral Square.
 The three foot building line on West Main street will be on both sides leading from the railroad track,
 mainly affecting the business portion of the highway. The cut at the rail-
 road tracks can be done with practi- cally no expense to the town and will
 be great asset to traffic and avoid cutting across the tracks at such a ] sharp angle which Is now necessary. Persons coming down the south side of West Main street and reaching the end of the Bristol Mills fence, were they to continue walking straight would find themselves heading towards the center of the | road directly on a line with Man l lings Automobile accessory store at the point where East Main street starts.
 When the street is made wider as the plans are considered, the gate mans house will be moved across the street to the north side, section | of the factory fence cut away, and the street made at better angle so that persons coming down West Main street would be able to see Central
 jquare before they reach the crossing. A hearing has been scheduled for 1 Wednesday evening. October 4, at tho Town hall when all persons interested in the proposed new street and build ing line on both sides of West Main street will be called to attend The Town plan commission will notify them of the session. The Bristol Plainville rramway company will also be noti- fed inasmuch as the trolley line comes town that street.
 The Town plan commission have al- so received petition from the resi- Tents interested in South street, ap- pealing for its acceptance by the town. This street runs from Whiting street east to East street and is a good highway. There are already several houses erected on 1t. The street was one constructed by the Gridley Realty company during the development of land in that part of the town.
 Another petition was received urg | ing the establishment of street and building line on East Main street l from Central Square to Blossoms Cor ner. This street, which Is practical | ly the main highway of Plainville, has never had any lines established as far as the commission is concerned and an effort will be made to have suitable one made. The residents have also pettioned for proper grade.
 Another matter the commission has been called for is establishing siml- liar lines on East street from the | intersection at Broad and East streets to Blossoms Corner or East and East Main streets The commission decid cd to consider running the lines from Maple and East streets down East street to Blossoms Corner.
 Action will be taken on these peti- | tions as the commission members meet at future sessions and the resi- dents of those sections will be called to a hearing. The present Town plan
