 Basketball Notes---Itcms of Interest. ] About 25 property owners along Whiting street turned out last evening to attend the hearing Of the Town i Plan commission regarding the estab- fishing "of building lines along Whit J ing street and great deal of interest was shown by them in the proposed changes on both sides of the street. l A map of the street was exhibited showing the building lines as they were proposed, and after general discussion, no real objection could be found by those present. One change in the plans was suggested by A. H.. Condell, and that was that the line from Hamlin to Broad streets should be brought out to be even with Hart's garage. This was brought up because | the garage Is already established be- yond the lines proposed by the com mission but it had no direct bearing on the plans with regard to any other part of the street.
 Immediately after the hearing, the commission held meeting to take action on the question. After a short discussion. it was voted to approve the building lines as shown on the map. The building line to be established therefore, is as follows: East side of Whiting street, from Central Square beginning at the Neri block and ex- ,ending to Hart's corner, a building inc of "A feet and a veranda line of 16 feet. West side of Whiting street, to Broad street, building and yer anda line of 27 feet already estab- ished and from Broad street to the trolley turnout, a building line of 35 feet and a veranda line of 27 feet.
 Regarding the suggestion set forth
 Mr. Condell, if 1t is the sentiment # the property owners along the sec
 ion mentioned between Broad and
 lamlin streets to put this change into fleet, a petition may be offered to ,ut the matter through and the town plan commission will act on it ac ,ordingly If there is'no appeal from he decision of the commission, then
 he building lines as stated will b ,ut into effect.
