Last evenisg Attorney liuributt
seemed to have the council and all

on the other side ivom himself rather

eloss for answers to his questions.
He was fully prepared with date and
asked questions that had not even
been t ought up by the council, the
city on beer or the corporation CDllll'
sol. apparently. There were many
different opinions upon the matter of
how the assessments should be laid.
whether by linear foot or by the
squareyard.

Attorney fillrlbutt's figures on the
matter were somewhat different from
City Engineer Wood's, but this was
then ht to be or some misunder-
stan ing as to exactly what figures
were meant City Engineer Wood on
plained that he had nothing to do
with the assessing of the street but
that he did make figures on the street
for his own and the councils benefit

The meeting was brought to a close.
when Council Bette moved its ad
journment to January 4, at which
time it is expected that the entire
gutter will have been amicably set-

e .

The meeting was. somewhat delayed
becauseof the absence of two memc
bars of the council who Were in at-
tendance at the meeting of the Nor-
vvalk Fire Department. The meeting
was at length called to order at 8:30,
the absent council members having
come into the room.

Attorney J. Roldan liuributt ad-
dressed the council and there straight
away arose a discussion as to the
limitations upon the council in such
matters as to the reading of the city
charter. Attorney liuributt read from
the charter regarding the subject.

it was a decided point that the only
way the council could assess the prop-
erty was by their best judgment.

Mr. liuributt spoke of the corner
property and as to the assessing of
this property. lie said that he had
had the property surveyed and that
City Engineer Wood had made a mis-
take in his survey in the number of
square yards and the councilin their
futures. its stated that the "paper"
does not state what life assessment is
laid for. He did not bare a map when
the paper containing the list Of us-
sessments was given him.

There was some discussion between
Attorney liuributt and Corporation
Counsel J. J. Walsh as to whether the
entire property of a person is benefit
ted by the paving or not. Counsel
Walsh thought it was. Attorney flurl
butt thought it was not The nearer
to the center of the city the property
is the greater the benefit and the
further away the lesser

There was some talk as to whether
the assessments should be laid by the
sulfate yard or by the linear foot

The charter says that the property
aimiflng on the street shall be taxed
one quarter of the amount. Attorney
liuributt said he should think the duty
of the council was to tell their meth.
min of assessing the property.

(‘ounsel Walsh said that the council
had considered two ways~lhat by the
linear foot and that by the square
yard.

Attorney liuributt stated that the
running foot is not the absolute rule
in the assessing of the property and
that us a principle it is not recognized
as the correct method. lie said the
location would also affect this role
He did not favor either proposition for
the entire number of his clients. Some
property with but ten feet from the
curb to the railroad portion might be
more benefited than other property
with fifteen feet reckoned in a like
manner.

Asked what would make an equit-
able division and assessment of the
damages. he replied. 'Good common
sense on the street."

Mr. Wood and Attorney liuributt
had quite a discussion about West
axenue. lielden avenue and Mott ave-
nue. as to whether they are inter-
secting streets or not. There was
some question about the naming of
the streets about the library.

Attorney liuributt said that the as-
sessments of the valuation of the var-
ious properties are not the same as
Mr. Wood‘s estimate for the assess-
ment for Mr. Arthur's bill, the con-
tractor who paved the street. lie
and Mr. Wood then went on with the
discussion as to the measurements.
Mr. Wood and the engineer for Attor-
ney liuributt disagreed as to figures
in several small particulars.

Dollars and fuel seemed to be con-
siderably mixed in the discussion.

C. L. liarker said that his house
had been damaged as well as his prop
erty benefited by the steam roller
which was used on the work ills
recently painted house had been spoil-
ed by the cinders from the engine.

Attorney liuributt showed a place
in the street where the city has three
fourths of the street to care for and
the shutting property owner but one-
fourth. This is occasioned by the fact
that a city park abuts on one side of
the place in caution.

Attorney liuributt suggested that be
and Mr. Wood get together and talk
up the matter. He thought this would
simplify matters. its field that Mr.
Wood's figures on the street are made
with a mistake. according to what
has been given him (Mr. liuributt) as
’ths figures.

Councilman Baits moved that so ed-

urnment be tekbn to Wednesday.

Confidence. more than once used as
a falcon by Senator Bulkeiey and ex-
Governor McLean, rival candidates on
the Republican side for United States
senutdr, has not taken wings away
from either camp. 0n the contrary the
c0veted bird seems to be more com-
fortably nestled in both places than
ever before.

it is truly inexplicable to politicians
who do not appear to care one way or
the other how there can he conflict-
lngf predictions issued from the rival
camps, each as certalu as it is that
the sun will go down, when with a
clinched certainty one side er the
other must lose.

it seems reasonably certain that the
Republican caucus. which in all prob
ability will decide the momentous
question will he held at the capital
timing the second week of January.

This means that there will be but
little more time in which to improve
new opportunities by importunities
operated upon new angles. And it
also means that the fact that both
sides are chock full of confidence will
not make them neglect to survey the
gem-rail livid once again and more.

The New Haven Register inquired in
Hartford from those vitally interested
in the titantic contest, to obtain an op
tales of the situation from both sides.

flare is what was said by J. Henry
Roraback, McLeans campaign mana-
ger: "The vote in the caucus will not
be close. McLean will win by a big
majority; pretty near two to one "

"The other side claim the victory,"
was suggested.

“We are used to hearing the claims
of the other side. As long as they are
making a contest they have to make
claims."

"Do you think there will be a third
or dark- horse candidate?"

‘One will not be necessary as Mo
been ill win on the first ballot.“

“if s presumed you have made a
(Hateful canvass of’the Republican rep
resentstiv'es.’

"1 es. they Were canvassed both be-
fore and after election."

So much for the MCLCllllelld of the
gunle. Senator Bulkelev when spoken
to was less communicative but he
trayed no signs of a lack of confidence.

“i have no reason to change the
opinion i have frequently cxprcssed.‘
said the senator

it is well known that the senator
has said that he is confident of a re-
election. He added that he did not care
to be interviewed further.
