Historic PLank Road
 Puzzles City Officials
Many Regard Highway as Abandoned Road" - No Records of Acceptance Found - Early History Reviewed by Fact-Find-
 ing Reporter.

Historic Plank road, which was opened in 1854 and operated as . toll road for approximately 20 years thereafter by the Waterbury -Chesh- ire Plank road company, a private corporation, just "ain't nobody's baby" as far as the city fathers are concerned. The status of the road, extending approximately six miles from Silver street to the Cheshire Prospect road, was recent ly questioned during a hearing in court.
 Never Accepted
 The road has never been accepted as & city street, according to records in the ofilce of City Engineer Charles A. Root. The only docu- ment on file there concerning the Waterbury Cheshire Plank Road company is notice dated Septem- Der 2l, 1874, directing discontinu- ance of the thoroughfare. Signed by William c. Williams and Howard c. Ives, commissioners of the Wa terbury- Cheshire Plank Road com- pany, 1t states in part that "after due inspection of said road, and finding 1t very much out Of repair, we have notified MT. Frost, clerk of said road, with directions to put said road in good condition, and sixty days having elapsed since said order was issued, and no at- tention having been paid to 1t, we take 1t for granted that said corpo- ration has abandoned said road and surrendered their charter" The document was recorded in the Of flee of Town Clerk Charles B. Mer- Till, April IS, 1875,
 Neither charter or 6 certificate of incorporation of the Waterbury Cheshire Plank Road company was ever filed in the office Of the secre- tary Of state, Charles Prestia, irl- cunlbent, said today.
 When Corporation Counsel Mau- rice T. Healey was questioned as to what might be the status of the road, in view of the existing cir- cumstances, he said. Since no rec ords appear of it's acceptance by the city in the city engineers office, It is thereby to be assumed 1t is not public highway" He further ex- plained tht the city Of Waterbury would not be liable for any damages sustained on the road, since no record appeared.
 Many streets and roads through out the city, used as a public thor oughfare, which have been opened by developers and private companies, have not been accepted by the city, MT Healey said for reasons that public Improvements had not been installed in conformity with pro- vision set forth in section PAS in the city charter.
 Abandoned Road
 Hence, hundreds Of people who re- side on the picturesque Plank road | which winds along streams and | through woods and meadows, and hundreds more who use 1t regu- larly to reach points In East Farms Cheshire, and Prospect, will be sur prised to know It's status is noth- ing more than "an abandoned road.

 Now take per cent of the in- come shown in Item 5, page l, and enter 1t on the line provided. Sub tract this from your net expenses, to get the allowable medical deduc- ton.
 If net expenses were greater than 5 percent of income, the excess up to $i260 for single person without de- pendentS or t2500 for a tax family of two or more can Dc entered in the right hand column as a deduc- ton. If net expenses were less than the 5 percent, forget the whole mat ter.

N@SSSANASS VA bAAA0 S(AASAs
 The officials met last night with an aldermanic committee and ad- vised the members not to permit the city to erect such a shelter on the basis it would be of great ex- pense to the city both for construc- ton and maintenance and would require such facilities as extra po- licemen on duty there.
 Alderman Joseph Reiner (RO de- clared he would call for public meeting of indignation protesting the company's decision and would suggest it for vote at the boards next meeting. He was the current propoSer of the erection of such a shelter, the matter appearing year ly sponsored by minority member of the board.
 It seemed likely however that the majority of the members of the committee were of the same opinion as the bus comany. These consist ed of Alderman William Gerardi (R) James M. Lynch, Harold Ash ley and Martin Sullivan.
 However, the committee may seek to have the schedule of bus stops rearranged so that not so many busseS will stop along the south side of the Green, where the greatest congestion takes place. It discussed having some of the busseS stop on East Main street, just east of the center, but 1t was pointed out that when there were such stops there be- fore, the East Main street mer- chants objected because those wait ing to board the busses blocked the entrance to their stores so that they lost many customers. It was said that probably the same objection would be raised again if the busses made stops there.
 The Red Cross Nurses recruit ment committee is sending spe- Cial notice to all churches through out the city appealing for volun- teers, to care for war casualties which will be read shortly, Miss Alice Peak chairman of the Water bury nursing council for war serV- ice has announced.
 Seeking to have physicians, hos pital officials and the public re- lease every eligible nurse for mill tary service, similar notice will also be sent to the Waterbury and St. Mary's hospitals and to the Waterbury Medical society, Miss Peak said.
