Long Hearings on Proposed Changes of Building Lines
City boards held hearings last night on petitions to change or establish building lines across several avenues. Most notable was opposition from 75 percent of Myrtle avenue property owners including Dr. R F Moore to extending eight feet over the line at Myrtle and South avenues. The Sacred Heart church would be affected, and the petition was remanded to the streets and sidewalks committee. Other measures included establishing a six foot building line along Fairmount and North avenues to Beers street, with mixed views but ultimately approved for the line. The Connectcut Breweries Co. and New Haven road received approval to lay a spur track in Housatonic avenue to aid loading and reduce street congestion. Several street layout and grade petitions were briefly discussed or refered to committees.
