A large number of Plainville resi- dents will attend the second hear ing on the proposed elimination of the East street grade crossing to be held in the state capitol on Monday morning. Much interest has been manifested in the various plans sug- gested for making the desired chang es and it is understood that both schemes drawn up by Engineer Jo- seph N. McKernan will have their supporters It is reported that a petition is being circulated favoring his first one on the ground that the latter plan would damage business on East Main street. Mir. McKer- nan does not believe 1t would do so moro than any of the three plans and points out that this section will receive less traffic under any plan which will make East street the main highway.
 Copies of the new plan have been sent to Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald and the New Haven railroad, but no word has been re- ceived from either. A third copy will be presented to the public util- tiles commission on Monday. The commission will be desirous of learn ing the opinions of Plainville resi- dents. and while it is not necessarily bound to do what the local people want, it'is quite certain to be great ly influenced by them. as it always takes every factor into its consider ation. The local authorities are just as anxious to have all property own CTS and other interested speak for one plan or another or give their opinions in writing.
