The land, surrounded by Sunset Ridge, Mountain and West Side roads, was considered as a possible site for a 30-unit condominium development early last year. The plan was discussed at a Planning Commission meeting by prospective develo pers, but later dropped.

The "gasoline shortage" did affect some city operations, apparently. Building Inspector William E. Hanson said the shortage caused the "windshield inspection'' of houses to be "practically eliminated" during Also apparently affected were, the duties of Leonard W. Ca-teno, sealer of weights and measures. Closed gasoline stations and traffic tieups at the open ones prevented inspection of equipment.

TORRINGTON A permanent paper and glass re-cycling collection center will be operating here by the end of the month, James Miller, president of PRIDE (People on the River Interested in Developing a Better Environment) announced Monday night. The center will be open five days a week at the site of the Torin former machine division on Franklin Drive. The center will lie run by workers from Lark Industries and will be supervised by a member of the local Golden Agers, Miller said.

For the past four years, PRIDE has or monthly collections at various locations throughout the city. To date, more than two million pounds (1,000 tons) of paper and glass products have been processed and shipped to Water-bury and Dayville plants for recycling by PRIDE. River Project The volunteer organization has also been responsible for cleaning up the banks of the Naugatuck River each year and the ''Give a Dam" campaign. The project resulted in a Gabion Weir (a type of dam) being erected across I he Naugatuck River just south of Main Street bridge, creating a small waterfall and a slow-water lake-typo scene from the downtown area. PRIDE has received nothing but credit, literally, from the city on its recycling project, but the city is now considering taking over the newspaper recycling efforts and using the revenue realized (about a year, according to estimates) to offset the cost of operating the city's landfill area.

Bike Trial PRIDE also is in favor of creating a bicycle trail from Torrington to the Thomas-ton Dam along the now discarded Penn Central Railroad bed which runs along the banks of the Naugatuck.
