lunch wagon E. E. linuycn, of Bridge
port, desired to locate in South Norwalk,
was read. It explained more fully the
petition of last month, and stated that
the wagon would not obstruct theatreste.
The communication was received.
Councilmen Ferris said the new truck
was expected to arrive in a few days, and
that if paid for within ten days after its
acceptance. in special discounts could
honeyed tot a city. The sense of the
Board was that. this amount should he
saved. Mr. Ferris also said that indin
cators were quite essential in both the
hose and truck houses, in order that the
location of tires could be readily and
correctly determined. Electric Light
Commissioner Winchester explained the
methods and price of. the various instru-
ments. and said that it would be necessary,
to retime the tire alarm boxes should
they be purchased, but the Game-well
Fire Alarm company had agreed to send
a men free of charge to do this work if
the indicgtors were bought. The com.
mittee was instructed to buy two indioe‘
tors ata coat of $100 each. Provision
for this was made in the budget at the
last city meeting. ' '
The committee on finance was instruct-
ed to renew a note for $3,500 for three
months. and toaecure .300 forxthe use
of the Public Library. ‘
Councilman Hatch, the committee on
the extension of Day sheet, stated that
he had looked the matter up and found
that Raymond dc Cometock, Samuel
Raymond. E. Bush, E. Beard, M. A.
Doty, and the South Norwalk Hat
company had a road sufficient for their
purposes before the city did, anything in
the matter, and he thought they could
not reallybe assessed the full amount,
He submitted the following:
. The committee finds that the property
directlygnorth of the petitioners is not nor
has it ever been assessed for Day street
opening as extension. although such
opening and extension is equally valu-
ahleto all properties. Your committee
believes that the assessments in ahow
mentioned petitions are excessive. in pro-
portion to the benefits. as there is not to
be any improvements to the road in
front of these proprrtiee, and these pi-
titioneis have very little or nointt-rest
in the extension to the south. It. is rec-
ommended by your committee that an
abatement be made so that the petition
are shall pay one third of the amounts
each are amassed, and that the collector
shall be credited with the other two
thirds.
Street CommitteemenhGolden said the
railroad company soon desired to make
use of its property on South Main street,
and that the drinking fountain there
would have to be removed. He was d'i~
rectedto make such disposition of the
property as be considered for the best
interests of the city.
Councilman Golden was authorized to
advertise at once for bids to do the work
on West street, and give the contract out
asquickly as possible.
On recommendation of Councilman
Golden the Council authorized the ex
penditurs of 080 to purchase a pump to
clean out catch basins nod sewers
Street Commissioner Briggs said it now
cost from $1 to $1.15 to clean them out,
and it could hedone quicker and cheaper
by means of a pump. He did not think
the work could be done cheaper by con-
tract. '
Councilman Golden thought that every
person digging up a street should be
charged 81, as it cost the city about that
sum to fix the street after the plumbers
were through. Mr. Briggs offered a
suggestion that plumbers be granted a
license fora nominal sum, and then if
their work was not performed sniisfac~
torily, the license could be revoked. The
committee on ordinances was instructed
to draw up one suitable for the protect-
ion of the city.
Councilman Golden submitted the fol‘
lowing report on the petition of E E
Munyon for permission to locate a lunch
wagon on the streets of South Norwailt:
To the llonorufiio Mayor and Common
Comm! of flu' ()in of Houfh Noriimlk

would reap ctlully report. that alter due
consideration he has come to the con-
clusion that such tltiou should not be
granted Firstu ecause there is no
necussity for such a lunch wagon. Sec
ondwilecause it would obstruct the in
oality in which it is proposed to be piec~
ed. Third—wlleoauee it would he donng a
great injustice to those of our Cltltrm
engaged in the same business, creating a
competition that is unnatural and un.
warranted. Fourth —B:cause this Coun-
cil has no authority. in his judgment, to
auhorlse anyone to occupy the public
streets for such purposes as is proposed
by the petition.
He also read a remonetrnnoe from
seventy nine taxpayers and citizens, all
doing business in the center of the city,
against the granting of such a license
Ir. Golden said the principal reason he
had for mommendlug that the license
should nothe grantsd was browse the
city did not own Railroad place, and had
nopowsre thersteleohsoeueeof thsneru

,,Couneilmal Golden said he concurred

- e. Councilman Bellock said that, if the
amendment offered by Ir. Batch would
abdionte any of the rights of the Coun-
cil, he should be oppi ltd to it; but if the
committee could be of any assistance. he
thought the resolution should prevail.
Councilman Weed favored the original
resolution. and thought the more the
Council could have interested the better.
Upon the question being put. all the
members of the Biard, with the creep
tion of Ir. Hatch, voted in favor of the
original resolution.
The Consolidated Railroad company,
through its assistant engineer of con
ntruction. B. l. Berrinn. asked for per-
mission to move three of the company's
houses on Monroe street, known as Noe.
N, 22, 24, to lots a short distance away.
The matter was referred to the commit-
tee on fire department, Councilman
Ferris. who reported favorably, as the
foundations were already built; it took
the buildings further away from the
railroad and gave the city additional
buildings on which to assess taxes.
Councilman Golden was given per-
mission to look after all matters connect-
ed with the railroad improvements, with
power to act for the city.
Contractor El. ii. Brown petitioned h :-
pnrmi-iou to erect a building thirty by
thirty feet, and ten feet high, on the city
dock property at the foot of Marshall
m. to bottled no a tool house. The
committee on lire department also re-
fnvornbiy on this petition.

night,end that there was no amenity
for further restaurants. as the“ petitioner
claimed. ' The one clause about furnish-
ing luncheone freotothe policemen was
enough to refuse to grant a license, as it
would have a tendency for the officers to
congregate about the wagon and remain
there, to the neglect of other por-
tions of the city. The city
paid the officers a sufficient salary to
provide their own lnncheoun. He also
said he would oppose a like application
from any resident of South Norwalk.
Councilman Hallock advocated the
granting of the license on the ground
that it was not fair to discriminate in
the granting of licenses. He said that
$25 a year was much more than a num-
ber of small business places were paying
the city: that bakers from East Norwalk
and other places came to South Norwalk
and sold their goods, and he had seen
wagons on South Main street, without
horses, and fruit being sold from them.
Mr. Golden said that Mr. Bullock did
not tnkoluto consideration the amount
of rent merchants in South Norwalk pay.
outside of the tax on their business. He
thought the people here should be pro-
tected. No wagons had been allowed to
stand on the streets selling goods since
the trolley road had been built
Councilman Bullock provoked some
mirth by saying that he was pleased to
see that Mr. Golden and himself were of
the same mind on one subject at least,
that of “protection." Mr. Eallock said
he always believed in the protection of
homeindustrien, yet he did not wish to
debar anyone from the privilege of be
comingacitizen and doing business in
South Norwaik. If Mr. Munyon desired
toapend $1,000 or $1.500 for awagon,
that was his own lookout.
Councilman Batch thought the ve-
hicle would not be stationary very long,
astlic stureksepers who signed the re
monetraiice would keep the proprietor
moving from in front of their places of
business.
The report and remonstrance were re-
solved, and the Board, after an hour's
discussion of the subject, concluded they
had no authority in the matter, and
that it lay- entirely with the mayor
whether the license should be granted or
not. ,
Councilman Ballcck said be under
stood that the Norwnlk Street Railway
company had about completed the con-
etructiou of an electric street sprinkler
for use onite line,end be spokecf the
great clouds of dust occasioned by the
Norwaik Tramway company's cars, en-
peciaily when running under test min-
ute headway. The dust caused by one
car would be hardly settled before an
other car came along. He thought the
Council should take some action in the
matter, and offered a resolution that
the Norwalk Tramway company bore
spectfully requested tosprinkle its tracks
in the city through which the cars
passed. Councilman Golden seconded
the resolution and said he thought the
cunpany would comply with the re‘
quest. The resolution passed unani-
mously.
The committee on ordinances was ap-
pointed_a committee with the city clerk
to look up the ordinances that have not
been printed and have the work done.

‘ Ill Steps hie Train Within a law last of
her Prontrntn term.
Prompt action on the part of Engineer.
Vaughan, of‘the Pittslleld express, pre-
rented a horrible accident on the bridge
over the Nor-walk river. just above the
Wall street tunnel, yesterday afternoon,
and saved the life of lllrs. liary Bene-
dict. wife of Russell K. Benedict, who
lives on East avenue, opposite the Earle
residence. ”
Mrs. Benedict was coming down the
track, and was barely half way across
the bridge when she heard the rumbling
of the train coming out of the tunnel not
a hundred feet away. She was so fright-
ened that she did not think of stepping
over to the side of the trestle, but started
tornn towards the approaching engine
with the hope of getting off the structure
before the train reached her. Just as
she started she slipped and fell, striking
her head against one of the rails. This
dazed hersomewhat. but she regained
herfeet and took another step,’ when
she fell between the trestle work, only
the upper part of her body remain
lug above the ties. From that time
until she was helped out of her perilous
position she remembered nothing.
The express left South Norwalk at 4:30,
just three minutes late. Engineer
Vaughan had the throttle wide open to
make up for lost time and get up the
stoop grade between Norwalk and Wil-
mn. Just as he emerged from the too-
nel he saw Mrs Benedict‘s predicament
He pulled the whistle valve, reversed the
lever, and putting on the air brakes
brought the train to a sudden standstill
within a few feet of the unfortunate
woman. The friction sent long sheets of
firms from under the wheels of the
train, and the grinding of the wheels was
heard for a considerable distance.
Conductor Comstock went ahead to see
what the trouble was, and assisted by
thefireman helped Mrs. Benedict to re-
gain her feet. The train was then back-
edoi! the bridge and the woman was
helpedtothe end of the structure. A
large crowd gathered, made up of those

who came rushing out of Arnold a Co.'a
foundry. An up freight was due and
the rat brekomau was sent back to flag
it. Upon finding that the woman was
uninjured, the trainmen turned her over
to Edward Sheehen. who escorted her to
flaie‘e drug store. The train was delay-
ed about eight minutes. The passengers
were badly shaken up by the sudden
stopping of the train, and seven]
were thrown from their seats and bruis-
ed. One of the brakemen was thrown
down. Several women grew hysterical
and one or two nearly fainted when they
heard of Mrs. Benedict’s narrow escape.
At the drug store a had cut on hire.
Benedict’s eye was dressed. Her hip
and limbs were badly bruised. Livery-
rnan Darin oilered a horse. and carriage
to take her home, but she declined. She
was accompanied home on a Tramway
car by fl. A. Franke. Dr. A. B. Bald-
win was summoned, anti he said that
outside of her bruises she was not in.

for his quick perception and prompt
action.
Yesterday was the twelfth anniver-
sary of Mrs. Benedict's daughter Bessie‘n
birthday. and she intended to surprise
her by giving her a party. She had been
to Chauncey imitwood's residence on
Chestnut street and some other plants in
that vicinity to invite the children to at-
tend the pnrty. as the Berirdlcts former-
ly lived in that neighborhood. She then
sinned for the city to buy some articles
for the birthday feast. (in account of
the accident the party had to be post.
