“,nqueeted the Board to order the Norwalk
. and South Norwalk Electric Light com-
panyto put iron poles in front of their
‘ mpective places. The matter was refer
red to the Board of Electric Light Com-

miesloners.

Attorney J. Beldeu Hurlbutt, represen-
ting the Matthews property on West
avenue. said he had read in the newspa-
pers that the Council thought of making
a change in the Norwalk Street Railway
company tracks, and he was present to

look out for his client’s interest. He
was assured that no change would be
made in the line without giving him an
opportunity to be heard.

B. Adams, one of the committee ap-
pointedtolay out Bayview avenue and
Hillside place. said the map provided the
committee was insufficient for the pur-
pose, as it did not contain the property
lines. names of the owners or measure-
ments to guide and assist them in the
work. CIty Surveyor Briggs said the
map given to the committee was not the
one intended for them. Councilman
Nash supposed that it we a the duty of the
committee to make the required map; of
the property as a part of their duty.

. City Attorney Light read the law on the
subject, and on motion of Councilman

Sculley the committee on streets was re.

quested to f ornish all maps nece IsaI y for
he committee’s work.

i A petition, asking for permission to

lid an addition, 8x9 feet, to the rear of
‘ ‘the building at 109 Washington street,
toheaised by W. E. Collins for restau.
rant purposes. was received by the Coun°
cil. Councilman Hoyt said the addition
was already erected, as Mr. Collins had
gone ahead with the work, being unfa-
miliar with the law. He recommended
that the Council decide favorably on the
petition, which was done.
. Amelia R. Jesse petitioned for permis.
, sion tobuilda barn in the rear of her
property on Franklin street. The com.
mittee on fire department reported fa-
vorably, and the petition was granted.

ward getting in the llOiYOliGClS‘ii tum for
the years 1891 and 1892. Mr. Sister of
fered a resolution that the ordinance

‘ relative to bonds of the city collector and
city I easurer be changed to re Id 95, 000,
instead of 83 000 and 82 000, as at pre -
ent. Councilman Seymour thought the
bond of each cfiice should be at least
$15,000, his claim being that this would
have a tendency to secure none but the
very best men for the positions. The
matter was referred to the committee on
finance.

Resolutions by Mr. Slater, providing for
the weekly and semi monthly payment
of bills for salaries for city employees,
and authorizing the city clerk to draw
orders on the city treasurer when the
bills were countersigned by the appro-
priate committee and committee on
7 finance, were also referred to the coun-
lettee on finance to investigate and he

port at the neat meetmg.
Councilman Hoyt, the committee on
water, said he had consulted the water
commissioners, and he recommended
the extension of the water mains on
l’lusant street, a distance of about 400
, feet. to cost in the neighborhood of 3125.
The street is outside the city limits, and
Councilman Sculley thought that some
of the petitions for water extensions in
1» theeity limits should be acted on first.
He spoke especially of Lexington avenue,

“years, had several times presented

Nash did not want to see more money
spent on narrow and crooked streets.
He thought that section of the city
should have its highways again laid out.
widened and straightened. The pipe
was ordered laid through Pleasant street,
and the street committee was also in-
structed to ascertain how much it would
cost to put Lexington avenue in condi-
tionso that pipes could be laid in that
thoroughfare

Street Commissioner Schaub said the
man-hole covers for the Taylor avenue
sewer were left out in the estimate pre-
pared. Several prices were quoted on
them, of which the Norwalk Iron Works
company 's was the lowest, and the Coun~
cil ordered the committee to purchase
the necessary covers

Lewis B. Nash and) Jacob Schaub, the
committee on streets, in relation to the
laying of tracks of the Norwalk Street
Railway company on West avenue, sub-
mitted the following report, after having
conferred with the property owners and
examined the work of the company:

First, as to the present condition of the
tracks. It seems to be admitted that the
tracks, for several hundred feet south of
the city line, are materially higher than
the present grade of the roadbed, and
that. if the street were to be crowned,
from the gutterto the tracks, as now
placed, it would make the road on the
west side of the street unsafe for travel
and of great inconvenience to the pro—
petty owners.

It also appears that the roadbed is
much higher than the grade of the
street which has been furnished to the
committee by Engineer Rider, and which
he testifies is the same grade which he
furnished to the city, and which was
adopted on December 8,1879. Unfor-
tunately the record of that grade Is not
amon the property of the city, and
probe ly the present condition of West
avenue is due to the fact that' In the past
years the record of said grade has not
been where it could be readily refused
to by the city authorities, to check the
changes in the rosdbed which has
been made from time to time.

It is stated by competent witnesses
that the railroad company have from
time to time, raised the grade of their
tracks. and that the roadbed has from
time to time been filled in to conform
to the grade of the tracks. If this Is so,
it has reached a point where no further
increasecf grule can be permitted, for
the street has too much crown now, and
it is improper to change the grade of the
gutter, without injury to to the flow of
the surface water.

In view of these facts, it seems to your
committa1 that the railroad company
should be required to lower their tracks
to conform to the grade of the roadbed
as they found it

That the outer rail on each side of the
street should conform t I the roadbed on
the side of the street, wherr on it is laid.

This will make a portion of the track
on one side of the street. lower than
it is upon the other side, but since the
tracks are nearer to the gutter one side
than the other at this point, it seems to
be the only way to avoid anexcessive
“crown" t; the streets, at the pointi
Where the crown is now as great as can
be :rmitted.

our committee therefore recommend
that the railroad company be ordered i)
lower such portion at their tracks,
between the my line and Cedar street.
as are above the grade of the roadbed
as it was before the street was opened
by them.

The council made between the city
and company was Icoked over, and a
brief discussion ensued over the peculiar
phrasing of the document, particularly
where the contract alluded to the "grade
or grade to be estuhlisher. ' It It as the
opinion of the Board, however, that the
tracks l oulIl not be left In their prI sent
condition, {-9 Councilman Nash said that
in some plan .4 they were eleven inches
above the gradeof the street. The re‘
port was adopted.

The following was adopted unanimous-
ly:

Wham», The Norwaik Street Rail-
way company, in laying its tracks on
West avenue, from the city line to
Cedar street, has failed to conform to
the grade of the street as it was found;
therefore,

We, the Mayor and Common Council
of the City of South Norw alk, hereby or-
der and direct the said Norwaik Street
Railway company, to relay its tracks on
West avenue. wherever necesear
that they shall conform to the gra e of
the street as found by said company, and
that a copy of this order be served upon
said company within twenty-four hours
by the street commissioner.

An Historic Old House Cola; to Ruin

The old house just of! the main street
in Brooksldemear George Keeler’s Ice
pond, had a mishap, ThursJay, that will
probably result in its demolition. The
house, it is thought, is over one-hundred
and twenty-live years old, and for some
years has been gradually going to ruin.
Thursday last there was a big crash; the
immense chimney in the rear of the
building had fallen over, carrying a por-
tion of the roof with it. This morning
another section of the woodwork fell into
the cellar. and the house will probably
be torn down. Mr. Keeler owns the
house, and it was occupied by Hugh

No effort will be spared by the pastor
to make the Sunday evening services at
the Firs Methodist Episcopal church the

How to do It." These sermons will deal
with the hydra-headed gvils of the day.

church, tomorrow evening. A printed
programme of scriptural and musical re-
spouses will be used, and the pastor’s
sermon will be on “Christian Citiaen~
