 An unusual problem is before the town plan commission for solution in the matter of the proposed ac- CcptanCc of PrcutiSs street. A large number of residents of this street and those nearby were present at and asked for acceptance and grad ing of the street. A grade map Is being prepared by Joseph n. Me Herman and the town may accept the street in the near future, but there are several peculiar angles in the matter.
 Prcntiss street runs from lio- hcmia street to Forest street. The would make Prcntisa, if approved q dead-cnd street, The way out of this is to accept Forest. hut here an even greater problem is presented tn kr |, ct, was laid out by q real estate promo ter with apparently moro regard to | the size of his lots than the con venicnce Of the town authorities, for, while the road is in plaiuvillc, the western border runs along the Bris- l tol town line.
 | Thus the houses on one side are in i Plainyille and on the other in Bris- tol It would be unfair. Chairman John E. Lamb of the commission says, to make the plainville side pay for the entire cost of the grading and other work when the resident. of the Bristol side would be equally | benefited. On the other hand. Plain, yillo can not tax those who liv" or tho Bristol side. The solution WhiCl will probably be found is an agree, ment with Bristol, When this i, done, both Forest and prontiss streets can be accepted by Plain yille
 PlainyiIle is the victim of scvera streets like this. laid out just along the line.
 The commission also has Soutl avenue under consideration ant hopes for action soon. The member: were gratiied at the large number of residents who showed enough in terest in their streets to attend un invited the last meeting, and hop that this interest may be continue, and make for quicker work by tn
 planners,
