MANCHESTER 
HEARING ON JERSEY LANE. 
No action was taken by the Man- 
chester selectmen following the hear- 
ing, on the petition to widen and 
straighten Jersey lane, held in the 
office of the board on Tuesday even- 
ing. Charles J. Allen appeared as 
proxy for Mrs. S. V. R. Crosby and 
a letter of protest from S. V. R. 
Crosby was read by Chairman 
Knight of the board. W. B. Walker 
appeared in favor of the proposed 
widening and Mr. Walker’s son, 
Charles C. Walker, was also present. 
A letter was read from Mrs. S. Park- 
man Blake, a property owner on the 
lane, objecting to any change in the 
street which would take any of her 
land. 
Mr. Walker said that a plan for the 
proposed improvement was drawn 
which had seemed to meet all require- 
ments, but did not receive the ap- 
proval of many abutting property 
owners. He said they were entitled 
to their view, but he was still of the 
opinion that the straightening of the 
lane would be a great improvement. 
He thought the entrance should be 
widened anyway. Mr. Walker agreed 
to deed to the town the land at the 
entrance, which he recently purchased, 
in event of the improvement being 
made. 
Raymond C. Allen, town engineer, 
who drew the proposed plan of wid- 
ening from lines suggested by Mr. 
Walker, said that the changes pro- 
posed would not in anyway affect the 
land of Mrs. Blake. John Jaffray 
appeared as proxy for Mrs. Robert 
C. Winthrop. He promised to report 
the extent of the change in the line of 
the lane to Mrs. Winthrop, but de- 
clined to comment upon the improve- 
ment except to formally protest on 
Mrs. Winthrop’s behalf. 
Charles J. Allen, who appeared for 
Mrs. Crosby, looked over the plan 
and could see no objection to the 1m- 
provement. He remarked that it was 
evidently not the one Mrs. Crosby 
had seen. Percy Anning appeared 
for Mrs. Blake and protested on her 
behalf. He promised to report that 
the plan submitted would not affect 
Mrs. Blake’s land. 
Chairman Knight explained that 
the meeting had been advertised ac- 
cording to law and that due notice 
had been given to all concerned. An 
adjournment had been taken from 
two weeks previous in order to give 
the interested parties a chance to be 
present. There being no others to 
be heard the hearing was declared 
adjourned and the matter is in the 
hands of the selectmen for considera- 
tion,
