TOWN ID PROCEED WITH FOREST ST. Bristol Agrees to Share Cost-
 Triple Hearing Soon SMITHS MARRIED 15 YEARS
Ledge Road Couple Surprised By Friends-C. of c. To Meet-In- q,ury For Safety of Local People Miss Rogers Elected Delegate.

The city Of Bristol has confirmed , its agreement to share with Plain vile the expense of grading and sur
 facing Forest street. which runs
 along the boundaries between the two townships, it was reported at the meeting of the town plan com mission held last night in the town hall. The commission will proceed with Its plans for improvement and acceptance of this much discussed thoroughfare, which caused so muc Il difficulty that state law regarding It and similar streets was passed by the last general assembly.
 The street, as is well known. is in Plainville, but the property on the west side Is across the town line. and for some time Bristol ob- jected to paying the share which Plainville believed only fair, since the Bristol residents would benefit as much as those on the local side The late Mayor Wade of Bristol agreed to have the city pay its por- tion. but on his death the commis. sion felt 1t best to take the matter up with his successors.
 Chairman John F. Lamb of the commission and First Selectman James Simpson conferred with Act ing Mayor Crumb and Street Con- missioner Anderson of Bristol. and these officials expressed themselves as willing to carry out the agree. ment made by Mayor Wade. A grade map of the street is now being made and at the commission next meet ing a date for a hearing will be set. An estimate of the cost will be presented at the hearing and the residents will be given an opportu- nifty to express their views in the matter.
 The map Of Washington street has been finished, and the commis- sion voted to recommend a 35-foot building line and a 27-foot veranda line. It will also recommend that the street be widened from 49 1-2 to 50 feet to comply with the state reQuiremcnts--the street was laid out three rods wide in the old days when the rod was the standard of measurement. 4 30-foot building line and q 22-foot veranda line have been decided upon for Church street and hearings on these two streets will be held on the same date as that on Forest.
 The lines were fixed after study ing the layout of the streets and finding the distances which best suited existing conditions. Yet the commission wishes to meet the wishes of the property owners and their views at the hearing. which will be held shortly after the con- missions meeting on December 12.

 Thought PlainviIle Flooded
 The somewhat erroneous impress ion that Plainville was in the dis rlct submerged by the recent floods las led to the receipt. by Chairman 'ohn E. Lamb of the local Red Cross 'ranch, of a request from Vermont csidents asking for the safety of elatives hare. A rumor spread trough Vermont at the time of the
