Town Planners Meet


 The town plan commission last night held it's final meeting of the year. voting that because the next meeting would regularly be held on Christmas Eve 1t should be aban- doned and the commission convene again in January.
 The members discussed Kent. Milford, and Woodland streets from several angles and will bring these matters up for action at the next session. Nothing definite was done regarding building and street lines on Farmigton avenue or on Cooke street. In the latter case the com mission is awaiting word from the residents. Some years ago a petition was submitted to the commission asking for the establishment of street. building. and veranda lines on Cooke street. Then the street was taken over by the state and a law was passed which gave the state control of it's highways. so that the local group was forced to drop the matter for the time being. The state has now fixed its highway lines and the commission has asked the residents if they wish their peti- tion renewed.
 The commission also talked over the situation at Blind Mans Corner" where Crooked street en- ters the New Britain highway. and %o lectmen and the state highway com- mission in seeking to lessen the dangerous conditions extant there.
