Councilman Hatch, president oi the
Board. presided at an adjourned meet-
of the south Norwalk Council last
night. llayor Bohaanan being absent.
Councilman Henry 1’. Morgan. whose
face is swelled to abnormal“ prepor-
tions by an attack of the mumps. was
also absent. After City Clerk Taylor
had read the minutes of the previous
meeting. the board began the hearing
on the widening of Monroe street to
a width of 55 feet.
'liohert H. Rowan said he supposed
the Council had decided to make the
street 55 feet wide
Mr. Hatch read the section of the
charter relating to hearings. which
states that a committee appointed from
the Council or three fresholders shall
give a dual consideration to the mat-
ter.
lir. Rowan thought 50 feet would be
of sufficient width: West Washington
street was only 40 feet. li Monroe
street was made 50 feet wide it would
make a great dinerence. The new lay-
out brought his, tenement house right
on the strong.“ would necessitate
the moving hack of the house. He had

high to drain the Mr oi the lot. he ai-
terward laid 300 feet additional to
drain the rear. nearly all at his own
expense. The contributions resolved
from purple along the line did not
amount to a great deal.
Henry Seymour. representing the
estate oi George Seymour. said he be-
lieved that that portion of the street
where the Seymour property is iiitual'
oil was .50 feet wide. The heirs had
paid a heavy sass-inept for the open-
ing of Railroad place. which was only
.50 feet wide. and they did not feel like
doing any more.
Edwin Adams said that he did not
know what to say. He had given an
opinion the other evening that a street
50 feet wide was all the people reqnlr»
ed for their needs. Questions had
come up that he thought'needed can.»

Key West. March 22.—~»The l'nitcd
Staten court of inquiry into the loss of
the battleship Maine has at last finish.
ed its laborious work of investigating
the disaster. and has submitted its ft.“
port in Rear Admiral Sicard. lie has
pointed out some alterations which he
considered necessary. and the report
will probably be taken to Washington
today by Lieutenant Commander Ma-
rix. judge advocate of the court. it is
mssible, however. that its arrival at
Washington may be delayed several
days longer. as Admiral Sicard said
last night:
"I could tu'arceiy say that the report
will leave tomorrow. The court has
practically finished its work. but sauna
details may engage its attention long
enough to keep the report here several
days. i trust. however. that the navy
department will have the. document in
a very short time."
The decision mchcd by the court is
still a matter of surmise. Perhaps
some significance may be attached and
conclusions drawn from a remark
made by Admiral Sicard last night.
when he said to a correspondent: "The
case of the Maine is most peniliar.
perhaps the most peculiar whlth has
ever m't-urrcd in the history of the
world."
From the general tone of his re»
marks it might be infcrred that the
murt findings do not tictliiitcly solvc
the mystery of the explosion. This is
further borne out Iby the iuliuiral's
storms-tit that cven after the rep-wt
had been sent to Washington the dr-
parttnt-iii may require further investi—
