Perosky Case-Mataosian Hearing
Tonight-Christmas Mailing In
structtons-Boy still Critical.
The proposal to set back the build
ing lines on both sides of West Main
street In order to allow for future
| widening was dropped at least for
the present by the town plan COM
mission at its meeting last night.
| This project met with overwhelm-
ing opposition from the property
owners along the street when a hear
ing was held three weeks ago, and
the commission. while still feeling its
suggested action would be advisab BILE,
decided to accept this expression of
opinion. as it considers itself the
agent by which the peoples desires
may be carried out. The building line
will remain at three feet instead OF
the proposed ten. No further action
in the matter will be taken unless 1t
is requested by the property owners.
! The improving of Newton avenue
was postponed until spring. At re-
cent hearing the property owners on
this street were about evenly divided
on the ACCESSIBILITY of accepting the
layout prepared by the commission,
but the opposition was mainly to i'm
mediate action. Some said that they
thought nothing should be done I'M
til East street had been improved.
so the commission has decided to
delay until spring to await any pos
sible action by the state on East
street.
The appointment of benefits on
Prentice street was completed, and
notices will be sent out by Secretary
Frank 7. Wheeler.
The cost Of improving Wood ford
avenue extension has been estimated
This estimate includes the removal
of 1000 cubic yards of earth-a
steam shovel job-surfacing with
stone, and installation of culverts to
care for surface water in the spring
and the figure is $4,000. There are
some property owners opposed, and
the presence OF the trolley right OF
way allows houses on only one side
of the street, SO it is considered
doubtful if the residents will want
10 so ahead with the work. They
will be notified and and their wishes
ascertained.
The commission blocked out II.
work in the immediate future and
: plans to take up Milford, Kent, and
Woodland streets at its next meet.

, Warrant Is Returned
At the request of Grand Juro,
: Charles Il. Conlon the warrant fol
. the arrest of Joseph J. Perosky OF
lrvington. N. j., has been returned
. by the state police department after
the department had failed to make
. lservice because it considered there
was insufficient evidence against the
New Jersey man. Perosky was
charged with criminal negligence
and evading responsibility in con-
nection with the death Of Robert e
Lydon on Pennington avenue last
month.
The state police assert that Per.
osky was not sufficiently identified
to warrant action against him. Pros
ecutor Conlon says that the two mer
in the first car to hit Lydon reaC
the numbers on the New Jersey cal
and he feels this is ample to war
rant at least a hearings +. B. Bar
ker of West Hartford. driver of The
: frst machine, was to be tried tomor
row. but the case will be held W
until Perosky can be brought back.
The prosecutor is planning further
: action, but today he would not di
> vulge just what this was nor state
5 whether or not he would take thu
matter up directly with the state''
attorneys office.
