| completed and the deeds OF the sale
have not yet been completed and the
deeds of the sale have not yet been
recorded, an inquiry at the office of
the town clerk disclosed this morn
ing. The transfer has been pending
row for several weeks, but techni-
| ca,ities have delayed the passing of
the deeds Mr.. Newton, the present
owner, has declined to sign several
deeds drawn up, 1t is understood, and
new deed is being prepared for his
signature. The details have not been
disclosed, but it is reported that there
is nothing which will ultimately hold
up the sale. The public of Plain
VILE has been waiting to hear that
the property had changed hands be-
cause unusual interest Is connected
with the sale. The Newton property
is one of the oldest business blocks
IN the town and holds commanding
position in the business center. So
many of the old landmarks of the
town have changed hands and ap-
pc arances lately that there is great
deal of speculation as to whether
there will be any changes in the
Newton property.
p. U. Engineer Here.
This morning at II o'clock, an
important conference between mem
bers of the town plan commission
and an engineer, representing the
public utilities commission. was held
regarding the railroad crossing on
West Main street. The engineer did
not make known his opinion to the
members who were present, but he
agreed that the crossing was a source
of danger to passing autoists who
are not familiar with it. Whether
the public utilities commission will re-
ceive a recommendation from the en-
gineer to alter the crossing remains
to be seen, but the members who
attnded the conference are of the
opinion that favorable action will be
suggested. Engineers of the railroad
viewed the crossing and they reported
to their superiors who in turn re-
fused to alter the crossing because
of the expense attached to moving the
gates and switches.
TO Occupy Stores
Work has so far progressed on the
Tracy block at the corner Of West
Main and Whiting streets, that the
two stores which remain to be finish
ed will be occupied on or before Aug
ust IL, according to an announcement
by the contractor. Up to the present
time, no definite date has been set for
the occupancy. The store directly on
the corner will be occupied by the
Galpin Drug Co., and next to it, will
house a shoe repairing shop.
