Reference is made to a copy of the map and of the town records attached, which are made a pert of the report. City Attorney Light thought the city had no claim there, as Captain George Bell, who opened a, street, had after- wsrd deeded it to the Dsnbury and Nor- wslk Rlillflfld company. The Council accepted the report and referred it if) the oily attorney. The Council voted to enter into a com- pact with the Southern New England Telephone company regarding the poles in the southern partof the city, where- by the two corporations could use the poles of each other.

This it was impossi- ble to answer, as it was not known whether there was to he a truss or gird. er bride at the crossing. The Board was unanimous in its hope that the building line would be observed, and the shut merit placed for enough cost no as not to prove unsightly or a menace to the safety of the public. Councilman Golden spoke of the cart and harness purchased last. year with the intention of having them used on the streets, bu! which was only done once or twice.

He figured on the number of miles of streets, which was: South Nor- wslk, llfteen;city of Norwalk, twenty- sir; town of Norwalk, outside of cities, ninety-six, making respectively eleven per cent, sixteen per cent, end seventy- threc per cent. This is the some proper lion Booth Norwslk has received during the past few years. Councilman fleiv lock suggmted that the town officials be notified that.
