TOWN PLANS WILL DECIDE

AuEnts FTOn IrolIey Car, Was Struck By Automobile = Baseball fiesults-Other Items Of Interest. The Town Plans commission have called a special meeting for Wednes- day evening, when the members will make definite decision on the propos- ed widening of Whiting St., at the cor ner of Central Square. What steps will be taken in the matter will be reached at this meeting as the com mission Is now prepared to go through with the matter, following the public hearing held Saturday night in the town hall.
 The hearing Saturday night was not well attended. There were very few arguments heard on the case and those that were heard did not have any effect on the plans prepared by the commission, so there were no changes made.
 The plans call for cutting the cor ner, at the Bordeau barber shop, distance of 13 feet. The street line is now 5s.1 feet and with the addi- tional cut will make a corner II feet wide, fully large enough to accom- modate traffic and provide for suit able building line.
 The Tracy Driscol company of Bristol is holding off the erection of their proposed one story brick block on that section of Whiting street un- til the matter is definitely settled. No building will be erected they say. un- til the proper street and building line
 is laid so there will be no trouble en- countered when the work starts. The Tracy-Driscol company has been notified of the proposed cut and will set a price on 1t. There are sew eral rumors about town regarding the cost of the buildings to be removed. The exact amount. however, is not known and cannot be judged until conference is had with the owners of the block.
 The money which will be necessary for the purchase of the building will be raised by special tax, bond issue, or loan, which will be carried over until the next budget is made and then the tax will be raised fraction of mill in order to meet the addi- tional expenses.
 Those who attended the hearing Saturday night were in favor of the cut and did not have any arguments against it. Several suggestions were made however, which will be acted upon Wednesday evening.
