] The question of whether the build l ing lines on the streets about the | 1 center are too close has been raised | ! by the beginning Of construction | | work on the new Tani block on | l Whiting street, and it is not consid- | | cred impossible that they will be set back at some future date. There have been complaints about the new
 block. it being thought that 1t was trespaS ing over the line, but Chair man John F. Lamb of the town plan commission said this morning thai. far from this, the new building will | actually bc six inches behind the | line. The line at this point is two l aud q half feet while the Tani block I will be set back three feet. It is on
 line with the Fodt block and others l along Whiting street.
 Il The new Sequassen building on II West Main street is also six inches H behind the two-and half foot line. | but therr has also been complaint about this cncroaching on the high | way.
 |lI X centcr of better appearance and |il of greater future development possi- | bilities would be created. Mir. Lamb l believes, if property owners con- structing blocks would set thelr buildings even farther back of the | III line, which he feels is too close. II this were done he says, the street would have the appearance or being
 much wider and brighter and the h.a
 ther, if i, were sver deemed neces'
 sary to widen the street, it could b'
 done with minimum of trouble anc
 damage.
 The unNillingness of merchants tt 'y take stores in a block which is SC ,d hack of others on the street is be K licyed responsible for the genera r. close adherence to building Hhes lc They seem to fear that prospec'iv or customers will not be attracted |
 them in such locations, but MI
 Lamb points out that & buildln ,y withdrawn we'll behind the line al d. lows the parking of baby carriage h. window shopping, and other adHah on :agcs not poss. ssed by one croWdin ,st upon the street. The Neri block ill well behind tho limit, but the mel 80, chants there do not seem to De io' oh ing trade from that fact.
 It may be that as some later da'
 the commission will rc-establish u
 building lines, which were fixed ,ee the days when that body was ne mn and the town small. Considerabl sd- expense would be involved. howevt OH and at present the commission e re- cnly ask the cooperation of pro ], pective builders in providing for u 'h- future growth of the center. lay Call for Legion Players ."
