 Much interest is being evinced in the proposal of Frederick G. H. Beckwith, member of the town plan ming board and prominent local ar chitect that the citizens of the town urge their cOuncilmen to imm ediately adopt a 10 foot building line on Main street. The beauty of the his tociC elnns has long been one of the posse ssions of Stratford and now the possibility of the destruction of these beautiful and stately trees may come about as the result of the recent ap- plicatiOn for the erection of a store . on the east side of Main street. The coming of stores on a street usually means the destruction of the trees as the stores are built further out than are the average homes.
