 wood, member of the board, was successful in delaying action on the petition of Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford for change in resi- dence B zone to residence A zone affecting property adjoining the park department holdings in tha vicinity of Barbour road, and also for a change of the industrial zone to residence A zone in the same local ity, at meeting of the board last night at the mayors office.
 Chairman D. L. Bartlett of the board of park commissioners said the board was unanimously in favor of the petition and Thomas J. Kerri- gan, who lives on Hartford road, also favored it, as did Mrs. Mary Tracy, owner of all the property on the north side of Barbour road. MT. Bartlett said the feeling of his board was that attractive developments in hte vicinity of public parks were de- sirable and the entrance to New Britain by way of Hartford road was the best of all, there being practically nothing but one-family dwellings there.
 MT. Atwood said that many pro- perty holders in the city preferred to live in two- tenement houses and there were many attractive resi- dences of this type. notably on liar rison street. He wondered where this type of residence would be built if the board of adjustment continued to restrict dwellings to the one-family style.
 One Family Houses Increasing
 Building Inspector Rutheford re- piled that the tendency in New Britain for the past few years has been to build the single family houses. Three-family houses are thing of the past according to the building department records, not single permit for one having been ' issued in a year. He felt that sev- 'eral sections which are zoned for three ee-tenementshouses might well be changed to residence B zone there by providing places for two-tene- ment houses.
 To Mir. Bartlett's statement that attractive surroundings were desired about city parks MT. Atwood replied that the park commissioners should cooperate with property owners by preventing conditions which are ob- jectionable. He said he was speak ing from experience, as he has lived for some time at 175 Vine street on the edge of Walnut Hill park. Mr. r4Jo | l,a
 missioners believe in having the parks used for recreation purposes and he knew of nothing of an ob- jectionable nature in Walnut Hin park except that sometimes the lan- guage used by boys playing pick up" ball games is not of the best. MT. Atwood said there was Ire creation and dissertation" in the park day and night and Attorney F. F. McDonough, who also lives on Vine street, added that he has wit messed rowdyism in the park which would not be permitted anywhere else in the city.
 There was dissertation there last Saturday. We got beat 1 to o." put in George T. kimball, president of the American Hardware corpora tion, referring to the loss of the state championship by the P. & F. Corbin baseball team in the game with Stamford. It was finally voted to defer action on Inspector Ruth erford's petition for further consd- eratlon. The inspector told the board he was prompted to try for the changes mentioned because he recently received an application for a@permit for "a very objectionable" business in the industrial zone They pendency of his petition, however. will have the effect of delaying ac- tion on the application, so no harm will result.
 Schultz Street Petition Rejected
 An attempt by property owners on Schultz street to have both sides of the street zoned for residence A, failed and the board voted to recom- mend to the common council that It be zoned for residence B. At present it is in a residence C zone. Peter Lamprecht Michael KaInig and George Hanaman. wanted resi- dence A but Wilfred Bedard and J. Cunningham were opposed MT. Be dard offering petition signed sby several property owners who favor ed change from residence C. to residence B.
 Action on the petition of the Southern New England Ice Corpora ton for a special exception to per init the use of more than horse power in connection with a proposed artificial ice manufacturing plant on Corbin Place was deferred because Samuel NJ. Davidson. representing the s. M. Davidson Go. Inc, David son & Leventhal and the Fair Dept. Store, requested time to investigate such plants, in letter read by Judge B. F. Gaffney, who presided at the meeting.
 Attorney David R. Woodhouse of Hartford, representing the petition CT, had no objection to the postpone ment and extended an invitation to the board the building inspector and others interested. to visit the companys plants on Windsor street and Park street in Hartford. Clerk Thomas Linder reported that Will liam H. Caldwell, representing Bea- ton & Caldwell and the Hadley es- tate, notified him that Ae had no objection to granting the special ex- ception. It was decided to take up the matter. with an application from the Ice corporation for a change in zone, at the meeting on November 5.
