Henry Trumbull. presl- dent of the Plainville Chamber Of | Commerce and representative of the Trumhull, Electric Mfg, Co, at the | hearing, questioned the authority of the selectmen to offer such a. plan for the town Mckernan and Macdonald argued the relative mer- its of their respective proposals.
 Mir Trumbull said that his factory objected to both plans but would withdraw it's objections if no better substitute could be found. Regard the elevated highway crossing would be dangerous. the high embs nk 70 ments unsightly and the taking of its land on East street would con sttute barrier to the expansion of the Trumhull plant.

 Attorney Cornelius Prior. repre- senting Christos Zahary. asked what the cost of lowering the railroad at this point would be. Mir Waterman of the New Haven road replied that the expense would be fully SIS. 5.0o0.- 900.
 The proportion of expense which the town of Plainvi]le would have to bear was' asked by First Selectman James Simpson MT. Higgins stated that this varied from three to eight per cent, with some instances where the town was not assessed at all. 1 The crossing of the highway by a trolley line where cars passed every seven and one-half minutes intro- 1 duced some hazard in the states plan. Mir. Bradshaw of the Connecti- cut Co. objected. Grand Juror Will l liam J. Foran. representing the Nc Grath interests. inquired which plan would create the greater danger at it's raised intersection. and the spon- sor of each scheme claimed that the other did so.
 ! The danger at Blossoms corner, the scene of numerous accidents, would be lessened by the towns plan. Fire Chief Edward r. Prior claimed. but Mir. Macdonald dis agreed with him. The highway com missioner then asked that the town prepare estimates of the cost of its plan. which he felt was far more expensive than his own.

Major L8dd's Comment

Hartford. Jan. c6 Fl-Comment- the charge of low flying In Naugs tuck yesterday, Major William F. Ladd. commanding officer of the 4Sd division air service, C. N. G. said Although l do not know the exact circumstance of Acostas $ case. I do know that he has shown a. tendency for low and stunt flying on former occasions. l believe that the state law requires an altitude of 2,0o0 feet over populated districts to be dead right. Of course. its rather tough for Acosta 10 be put in jail for this offense but the law pertaining to his case must be upheld"
New Britain herald., 1928-01-26

Acosta vhiie waiting 10 see how his case would be disposed of. said that it was "ridculous' for any one to have said that he was trying to fly under one of the arches of the railroad bridge here because the shape of the arch itself was not great enough to have permitted plane to have passed under even if it had been flown almost at the river bed,
 Acosta on Tuesday afternoon flew twice over the house tops in the city. the hum of the motors making such g. noise that persons rushed out of was.
 Acosta said the plane he flew here was owned by a syndicate of New York men and was not the plane which was attached in New Jersey. He also said that his trip here had nothing to do with any trouble he had had in that state. He came here to keep 9. promise to visit friends here and left the plane at Bethany field which is the only flying field in this section
 Friends to Aid
 When friends were informed that costs would require Acosta to stay in jail two additional days if not paid they promised to see that the money was raised if Acosta himself could mt nav the hill
 Acosta is the second fler with an international reputation 10 be ac- cused of breaking the Connecticut aviation law. Some years ago Clar- ence r. Chamherlln vas reported to the state authorities for violation of the law in flying low over Yale bowl during d football game with West Point.
