Middletown Man In Cotut-Busi- nessmen-Temco Tonight - Dr. Cook Warns of Tetanus Danger Over "The Fourth"-Briefs.


 Over "The Fourth'-Briefs.
 Another advancement of the building lines on East Main street has been proposed and was acted upon fayorably at the meeting of the town plan commission last eve ming. II is now suggested that, since business about the center is expand ing and is already beginning to en- croach upon this street it would be best to admit 1t officially and move the building lines nearer the street 10 permit the erection of business blocks.
 At present there is a 4-foot line on the north side Of this thorough fare as far as the Smith property and a 36-foot line from there on as well as along the south side from Neri's block. It is proposed 10 move up the line 10 four feet all along both sides of the street except OH the south side between Neri's block and Crown street. This section is still entirely residential. with several fine homes. and it is t.e desire Of the property owners and the com- mission to keep it so. Garages and other business establishments have been built on other sections of the street and it is felt best to move ID the line. The property owners on the north side hayo signed petition 10 this effect and most Of those on the south side have concurrcd.
 The commission last night favor ed these proposed changes and vot- ed to recommend thcm X hearing will he held ill the near future. probably on Tuesday evening July l4. al which time the owners Of property on the street will be given q chance 10 express their opinions A map with the suggested changes is being prepared.
