Discuss coming Code
Progress in the drawing up Of q
coming code is being made by the
public utilities committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. Chairman
Henry Trumbull reported at the
monthly meeting of the chamber last
night. A tentative draft is being pre-
pared and rough memos are being
studied by the various members OF
the committee. When the various
suggestions have been considered
those deemed worthy of inclusion
will be placed in the code and a
complete and finished draft will be
prepared.
The chamber will work with Its
projected coming ordinance in the
same manner as that in which 1t Sc
cured the acceptance of a building
code. When code which appears
acceptable has been drawn up it will
be turned over to the selectmen, who
will be asked to consider the matter
with the recommendation that they
call special town meeting to Sc
cure its adoption if it meets with
their approval.
The code is designed to restrict
certain types of buildings to certain
areas and in this way to preserve the
residential character of sections now
prominently residential. Similar
codes have recently been adopted in
Hartford. New Britain, and other
surrounding cities and are said to
Fave safeguarded property values in
those places.
The plan of the railroad to re-
move gate tenders from the West
Main and Broad street crossing was
discussed. The railroad has recently
removed four freight trains day
from the Canal Line. routing them
through Berlin and New Britain
leaving only one train a day each
way up the Northampton branch.
l'lalnville is getting as good service
through New Britain as it did direct
from New Haven, the chamber was
informed, and since the town was
not suffering from the removal of
trains the directors of the chamber
felt that they could not consistently
or reasonably ask the railroad to
maintain gate tenders for the two
trains left on the schedule.
