 At the meeting of the town plar commission last evening First Sc, lectman William J. Johnson and John E. Lamb. chairman of the town plan commission. were ap. pointed committee to confer with tho Bristol authorities on the mt ter Of Forest street. The western line of this street, ms stated last week in the Herald, is the BriS. ol- Plainvillo town line. so that, while the entire street is in Plainville the houses on one side are in. Bristol. Tho street can not be accepted by the town until some agreement is reached with the neighboring city on the benefits and expenses of grading the road, and this will be the work of the committee ap- pointed last night.
 The Forest street matter has come to the fore because of the desire of Prcntiss street inhabitants to have their street accepted by tho town, As this runs into Forest, It Is desired to accept the two at the samo time and not make technically dead end" street of Prentiss. A solution is looked for in the carly future. Trumbull avenue was also con. sidered at the meeting of the com mission. Some oi the proposed streets form torgh propositions for the town planners, Chairman Lamb said this morning. and the com. mission can not jump at nasty con clusions. The roads must be graded so that the surface water will run off without doing damage to prop erty and making the town liable for damages. Tho town is said not 10 be liable for surface water running off on a natural course, but whether tho addition Of further water along the same route would change the situation is a problem Mir. Lamb will take this point lip with Judge R. F. Gaffney, the town attorney. The expense, including the change of grades and sidewalks. Is another matter 10 be considered by the planners
