The monthly meeting of the South
Norwalk Board of Councilmen was
held last night, with all members of the
Board present. After City Clerk Tay-
lor had read the minutes of the preced-
ing meeting, the hearing on the layout
of Railroad place, Mm Clay street to
Monroe street, was resumed.
J. Donovan, J\r., the first speaker,
thought there was little to be said, as no
objections had Men made to the layout,
and but little for the Council to do, ex-
cept appoint freeholdeni and accept
‘ their report. “It maybe that the city
, doesn't wish to stand any expense,"
said Mr. Donovan. “Certainly there
1 ' be no question about the land; the
.- are good, and anyway that ought
. 1. not to come up at this time."
Councilman Hutchinson said he had
no desire to delay the work, but the lay-
ing out of Railroad place differed from
other streets, as the land belonged to
the railroad company, and the city could
not walk in and take it.
Mr. Donovan—“But every street you
open is donb that way. _ That is the only
way to acquire streets, and the titles will
come”,
Mr. Hutchinson still thought it would
not be right to make a layout.
Mr. Donovan-“The position you take
might be taken by the Almighty."
C. Swartz said he was rather in doubt
about the matter, but believed, with the
committee on streets, that the fog
would clear up. He said the committee
on Railroad place had already paid
poison to the parties owning the land
' that was to be exchanged for Railroad
place. He had not the least objection
to the Council appointing freeholders. Wail voted to do.
By April let the title deeds would have
passed, and the city. wOuld own fifty
feet in Railroad place.
A question being raised about the.
ownership of the triangular piece or
gorc.of land in front of Adams' shop,
where the street is more than titty feet
wide, Mr. Swartz stated that the title
would be vested in the city.
Mr. Donovan thought it was not the
duty of the Council to find out who
owned the land, but merely to go ahead
and appoint freeholders. “This boy‘s
play," he said, “has been going 011 long
enoug ."
E. Adams, who had been in the room
but a short time, was called on, but was
at a loss to know exactly what was be-
fore the meeting. He said a committee
was appointed some time ago to make a
layout, and he desired to know if the
profile shown was their recommendation
or someone else‘s. Being assured that it
was the committee’s recommendation,
and that there were gores in the layout.
Mr. Adams said: "You could not get
there without them. There is not a
straight line or a line at right angles in
the whole layout.”
Engineer Briggs—"Part of the com;
mittee’s recommendations are in that
map. ‘
. Mr. Adams—“What is the width at
Monroe street? ”
Mr. Donovan—“The engineer can tell
that; he’s an expert.”
Mr. Briggs~"Sixty~five feet.”
Mr. Adams—"I’d like to see a map I
could understand.”
I _Mr. Donovan—“Or one intelligible to
an ordinary citizen."
Mr. Adams—“Do you mean to say that
this opening is sixty-five feet 1' "
Mr. Briggs—“No; I made a mistake; I
should have said fifty—five. I can‘tscale
‘ exactly, not having my rule here."
4 Mr. Adams—“I have examined the
map here which your engineer very
kindly explained. I was not able to 1111-
dcrstand it myself. I think the layout
the most economical that could be made.
‘ There may be a question about it being
the best. Amap sent here by the rail—
roadcompanysome months ago showed
an opening at Monroe street of ,se‘venty
feet; it is now to be made fifty-five.
Word came to me at that time, from
1 Mr. Swartz, I believe. that the railroad
company was willing to pay for the ad-
ditional fifteen feet of land. At the re- ‘
cent hearing fifty feet width seemed
to be settled. I don't know whether the
company has been consulted
about that or not. "
Mr. Swartz said he had talked with
Chief Engineer Curtis about th(1 matter,
4 and he told him it would be better to
haves seventy-foot opening there and
he thought his company might purchase
the landif it was reasonable. He said
that, had the. company known of that
before the abutmeuts were built, they
would have been changed somewhat.
Mr. Adams thought it was of enough
I ' ligence.
11111101111191.1111 valueto the city to try
and have that opening made. ~It had
hoenhisopinionthattheoitywould not
want to pay for the additional land
there. He had also heard peopleexpress
the opinion that the Shoot Railw'ay
company ought to pay for the privilege
of going through. the street. They
occupy at least one-third of every street.
He said he didn‘t know whether this
Was worth considering or not.
Councilman Pearson—"Do I under-
stand yon to object to the layout."
Mr. Adams—"No; I'm not here to
object. simply to talk; there is much to
be said, and this matter is worth spend
ingtimeou."
A motion was then made that the
hearing be closed.
Councilman Ferris thought this might
not be well. as the committee appointed
at the last meeting had, not reported,
and on his recommendation the hearing
was continued to April 6th.
As Mr. Donovan passed out he re-
marked: "If you listen toeverv little
technicality that comes in it will be
twenty years before that street is laid
out, and it is doubtful if it is accomp—
lished then. You are clearly acting out
of your jurisdiction when you assume
the right of ownership. Freeholders
are the only ones who can lay‘out the
street."
nor'rnva BUSINESS.
The Board then proceeded with its
routine work. and ordered bills paid
amounting to $800, and voted the Bloc-
tric Light Commissioners $375.
A communication from the estate of
John Taylor, stating that the estate was
unable to pay taxes on the list of 11198,
and asking to have them abated, was re-
ferred to the committee on nbatemcnts.
Collector E. E. Crowe asked for the
abatement of several taxes on the list (if
1803, the reason being that the parties
had ceased to do business. The matter
was referred to the committee on
finance. .
Councilman Hatch, committee on
finance, recommended the making of 11
note for $3, 800 to phy the interest on the
$00 000 worth of city bonds, and (Mini

note of $2,501) in the Water Commission-
ers’ hands renewed, all of which the
Councilman Ferris reported favorably

taid av cone to W. H. Smith .1 now

ledge of rocks would be about 830 he
said, a portion of which Would be

Notice 1111s recei1od from the select-i
men of the town that it had been voted
to lay the state 'l‘clford road on that por-
tion of Connecticut avenue situated in
South Norwnlk, and permission was'
wanted of the Council to go ahead with
the work.
Councilman Ferris presented .1 bill of
$71.15, which, he said, it had cost Engi—
neer Briggs to repair his transit. In ex—
planation Mr. Ferris said that M. Ep-
steinwus driving through Lexington ave—
nue, while Mr. Briggs was working
there on February 2191, and ran over the
transit.
Mr. Briggs said he would not have
asked for the payment of the bill if he
thought the accident was due to care-
lessness 011 hispart. He was at the
time about three hundred feet away"
from the instrument making a line. ‘He
said three or four other teams passed
without touching the instrument.
Councilman Hutchinson was of the
opinion that Mr. Briggs was negligent
of his duty in leaving the transit i11‘thc
street and being so far away from it. If
the Councilpoid this bill, it might be
called on to pay one every day or every
week.
Mr. Briggs said that if it had been on
Main street he might have thought- it
was due to carelessness, but 011 Lexing-
ton avenue, where only one team passes

Councilman Kendall. who had been
examining the items in the bill, wanted
to know what was for the accident, and
how much for burnishing'and brighten-
ing the instrument.
Mr. Briggs said it was all 011 account
of the accident, and that the instru-
ment needed smoothing off, being badly
scratched by being run over. In other
cities engineers were furnished their in“
struments, but Mr. Briggs said he had
about $350 invested llerc and was not al-
lowed a penny for it.
The Council instructed City Attorney
Light to collect the bill from Mr. Ep-
stein. .
Councilman Ferris also reported that
at the bridge under Spring street there
was only about eight and one~half1feet
headroom, and there ought at least to
be elcvcn feet. The cost of removing
the earth would come under $200, and it
was needed in filling in Lexington av e-
