A storm Of protest over the pro- posed ttl.Irg station at the corner of East Main street and Neal court has occupied the mIior portion of First S-.ocrman James Simpsons time since he assumed his duties. Two pe- t.uons have been prepared and at Laast one has actually been sent 10 the state authorities asking that stops he taken to prevent the build ing Of the gas station, but the pres ent outlook for che protesting si5ners is not very bright.
 Permission for the station was ob- raireI year ago by Stanley VI. smith and last month August Mat son obtained building permit to erect fl at a cost ot s3.000 Residents o- East Main street, resenting the in trusiou of another filling station In w1"' .7ue of them already term 'gt 3-..' y1. v," prepared petition Of protest and forwarded it to the department of motor vehicles. The name Of John J. Kimmel, then first selectman and a resident of the street in question. headed the list Of sjgners. Another petition is now being circulated,
 First Selectman Simpson consulted with Judge B. F. Gaffney, town at torney, yesterday, and the state sent a man hert in the afternoon to look over the proposed site. This repre- { sentative explained that permission had already been given before the 1 new law in regard 10 filling stations : went into effect. Mir, Simpson in- l quired if the permit could he re- 1 voked and was informed that there | was no precedent for such action | The first SclcCtman Is now expecting q letter from the state explaining the workings Of the old and new laws and setting forth the states attitude in the matter.
 Nlr Simpson Is heartily in accord with the property owners on the question and is heglccting no means by which it might be possible tc block the construction of the filling staton, but he said this morning that os hands are tied by the state laws and by the fact that permission has already been granted MT. Smith. He IS receiving numerous telephone complaints from residents of the street, who wish the district kept g residential one as much as possible and he is determined to work fol their interests.
 The new law requires petitioner for filling stations to obtain the ap proNal Of the selectmen and then {, secure permits from the state au thortUo5. The plans Of Michae . hoseAEo for a filling station at tho corner Of Broad and Whiting street. have been dropped in the. face O he violent outburst of opposition although the approval of tht sclectmen had been secured. Tn, objection to the projected station was that 1t would make an alread, dangerous corner still more hazard ous to the many children who pas by it daily going to and from school Dogs Quarantined
