Lepore. and the Connecticut Light ( Power Co.
 The western splllway would sn. tirsly blot out the present properties o1 Florence Jay. Mary ,McGrath. Elizabeth V. McGrath. and Lucy Gloriant. Because of the blocking of the East Main street crossing. th1 i property between thers and Blos- som's corner would su8er an in: convenience damags.
 To safeguard the western end cl the spillway and to abolish danger which exists at present. Mr. Me- Kernan would iron out the curve made by the trolley traclu at the end of Pine street, carrying them through the property of Luigi p'An. tcnio and Patrick Welch. Further Pine street would be widened to 66 feet in preparation for the cften- preached new trunk line highway between Plainviils and New Britain via Woodford avenue.
 Blossom's corner would be made less dangerous by this plan. as the present crossing would be converted into ! mere fork by the practical cessation of traffic. west of the in- tersection. Steps would be built from Pine street to. tho top of the elevation where 1t crossed that thor. onghfare. An advantage of Mr. Me- ', KeFnan's plan not apparent at first is that 1t would leave tho present gas and water mains in East street untouched. The plan of the state, he says. would mean the tnterrup- tion of water service from New Britain. Blueprints of the nov. plan were prepared this afternoon and are available for inspection at the office of the Plainville Water Co. on Pierce street. The town officials hope for q large delegation of interested prop .erty owners at the hearing Thurs day morning and would like the new plan inspected and compared with the former one. & I Mayor stevens to Attend
