PASSED BY A RISING VOTE.
A Resolution to Widen the Slain Thor-
oughfare at Bowaytou.
Rowayton was largely represented at
the special town meeting in the Town
House, yesterday afternoon. Upward
of two hundred and fifty voters were
present. Frank Leonard was chosen
moderator, and Town Clerk 8. R. Smith
acted as secretary. ’
After the reading of the call a resolu-
tion was offered calling for the widening
of the thoroughfare from the end of the
bridge at Rowayten to the westerly end
of Lincoln avenue, according to a survey
made by C. N. Wood. not to exceeds
width of forty feet, taking the land. if
necessary, by condemnation proceed-
ings, and paying benefits and damages;
also to appropriate the sum of .500 to
defray the expenses of the same.
Charles W. Bell spoke in favor of the
resolution. He said it was very seldom
that itowayton asked the town for any-
thing and he thought the resolution
should be passed.
The question whether the widening
would not benefit the Tramway cour-
pauyasmuch as the citizens, and if it
was not possible to have the company
pay its share of the expense, was raised
by Isaac Selleck.
It was the opinion of several speakers
that the Tramway company had the
right. to lay its tracks over the road, and
that it would be a benefit to the clamps
to have the road vvldcned.
After some further discussion the res-
olution was unanimously adopted bye
rising vote.

eevere that the Stories are lidieulene.
(New York Sun l
George G. Musscu, of Liverpool, the
largest English buyer of‘1 American eye:
tors, reached New York last Saturday to
investigate and if pouible to get definite
information on which he might contra-
dict tbe rumors that American oysters
are infected with typhiod germs. Eug-
home production, have been making a'
fierce assault on American oysters this
winter, and so successfully that
the trade in them has
been badly broken up. Last week
euiy 200barrels of oysters were sent to
England, as against 2,500 barrels in the
corresponding week a year ago. This
attack on the American oyster, Mr. Mus'
sun is courinced, is without justification.
He has had lhv' Americ In oysters tested in
various weysio Liverpoolmnd the results
have shown that they were not contami-
nated, except in the opinion of the Eng.
iish oyster growers. Americati oysters
can be sold at a profit for less money in
England than English oysters.
This scare about the American oyster
was started last November by the report
that several people in New Haven had
contracted typhoid fever from eating
oysters. This report was cabled to Lon-
don, end the English newspapers took it
up and had made the most of it. They
declared that the Amerlcsn oyster beds
were all contaminated by sewage. and
that the American ovster was a very dan-
gerous animal. Within two weeks after
the publication of such articles the
American oyster trade began to fall off,
and at present there isn't enough of it to
be worth discussing. In the opinion of
the English the American Blue Point.
which is the best oyster exported, has
never ranked with their own “Whitstable
native " This latter oyster has been sold
in England for about Sh a hundred, and
that price puts it out of the reach of ordi-
nary felks. Until the American oysters
were condemned by the English news
papers, however, there was a growing
demand for Blue Petals...”
fully muss.” 3h. Tim-Yum-
day, "and in none of them has there
been found any typhoid germs or any in-
dication of contamination. I am con-
vinced that this agitation is groundless,
and I want to get proof that will clear
the American oyster."
Mr. Musscn has been around among
the oyster gruwws here and he has con.
suited with experts. President L. D.
Huntington. nl thencmmiasion of Fish-
eries, obtained the following letter for
him:
“Yours of recent date in reference to
contamination of oysters by sewage is
received and I: Jutents noted. The fol-
lowing special inquiry occurs therein:
“ ‘As to the condition of the, waters of
Raritan Bay and Great South Bay and
also of Long Island Sound, .t-l bays and
estuaries. these being the “it“ rs from
which the oysters known to the trade as
‘Scunds, ’ ‘E-Ist Rivers,‘ and ‘Blue Paints'
are taken. Are they clear sea water, or
are they congminated by sewage 2'
"In reply to the foregoing I respect-
fully report that the oyster be (is located
in said waters are not contaminated by
sewage and that they are pure sea water,
free from all contamination. I am not
aware that it has been alleged that
aforesaid waters were contaminated by
sewage, nor am i aware of any I-mn-
plniule of oysters taken from these
waters. Yours very respectfully,
Joseru W MEIIHIWB\C,
“State Oyster Protector."
“The assertion," said Mr. blessed,
"that these oysters are contaminated by
sewage is absurd. All of the oysters
that are sent to England come from these
waters, which are free from sewage. The
Blue Points from the Long island coast
are it «bed by the Atlantic ocean, and it
would by. impossible for sewage to reach
them in any way."
President Huntington, furthermore,
said: "This whole agitation was started
by the English producers for the pur-
pose of injuring our trade, and that is all
there is of it. In fact. our oysters are
less exposed to contamination by sewage
than are the English oysters.”
Mr. Mar-erase, in addition, said that
all of the complaints against our oysters
had been made to England, and in his
opinion they were prompted by trade to-
tsrests. "Not one of the oysters sent
abroad," he said. ”is freebeued. They
ersssnt jester they are taken from their
beds, and a glance at the map will show
you thsabsurdlty of alleging that they
may be injured by sewage. That is im-
possible. because there is no sewage user
thesebeds. i remember when we had
the choisrssesrshsvs.e brokerate a

eluded and when it made him sick he

Considerable interest is already shown
at the coming ofAugustinDaly’s company
of comedians to Boyt's Opera House,
Saturday evening, February 23. The
indications for this engagement are that
a large and fashionable audience will be
in attendance. And why shouldn't there
be? This organization stands easily the
foremost in comedy work in this coun-
try. Each indIriduaI member of this
admirable company should be a suf-
ficnent factor to draw an audience thous-
selves. The company comes fresh from
their triumph abroad and a most succu-
ful tour of the large cities of this coun-
try. The feliowing are some of the
names included in the cast: Willis-
