 Accept Tomlinson Avenue
 large number of interested and enthusiastic property owners attend ed the hearing on Tomlinson avenue held last evening in the town hall by the town plan commission. All were strongly in favor of having the street paved and accepted by the town, some stating that they were anxious to ''get out of the mud" Following the hearing, the plan commission held it's regular meeting and voted to accept the street. As- sessments will be sent out to the property owners on the avenue in the near future and 1t is proba ble that work on paving the street will be done soon. First Selectman James Simpson said that 1t would be possible for the town to begin work on the avenue at once if it were shown that there would be no ap- peals within the 30 day period.
 The plan commission also studied brown paper map of Crooked street. An informal hearing will probably be held because the mat ter is looming as big proposition. The commission intends to look up the records of the street in order to find out its width. It Is believed that the records of the street are filed in Pennington, because it is one of the oldest thoroughfares in town.
 William Cassidy of Elizabeth court, member of the commission, is a patient at the Hartford hos pital, where he is to undergo an operation. Due to his illness, election Of officers for the ensuing year was postponed by the commission until Mr. Cassidy recovers and can attend the regular meetings. Last nights meeting was the first held since the recent town election. At present John E. Lamb is chairman and Frank T. Wheeler secretary.
