single track in Washington street at
right angles with the one already
blessing that street and to install a Y
track ill Monroe street, running south-
‘eriy into South Main street. The
council was divided on the matter,
3onncilinnn Harry W. Mather leading
the fight for the new tracks and Colin.

iAfter over an hour of arguments for,
l and against the proposition a vote was
taken which resulted in a tie, Council—
men Mather, Hoyt and Way lining up
against Councilmen Miller, Oliver and
Field. who vigorously opposed grant-
ing the rmquests of the company. Two
‘voies were taken, one by acclamstiou

Corporation Counsel Joseph, ll.
Taylor Acted as Toastmaster
”Borrowing from the words of one
of the speakers at. yesterday's dinner
given at the ‘Mahackemo Hotel in
commemoration of the starting of the
permanent pavement work in South
rNorwalk, if contractor Joseph A. Mc-
Elroy’e work on the streets of the
citymeasures up to the same standard
of auctions as was attained at. yestei»
day‘s celebration in honor of the
starting, the city will be rewarded by
having the finest set of permanently
paved roads iii the state. and Contrac-
tor McEllroy will have covered himself
with glory and credit.
The dinner was Landlord James R.
Connor’s best, which is good enough
for anyone and was served in a man-
ner most commendable and as it was
done according to Landmrd Connor's
system, inimitable. The dining hall
was no place for unhealthy stomachs,
hilt from appearances those present
were free from all such ailments, for
they certainly did get away with all
that was placed before them.
Following the dinner, .loaeph R. Tayo
lor, corporation counsel, took the head
of the table as toastmaster and what
he did not say about those present
who were scheduled to about; was not
worth saying. Apparently his keenly
edged wit had been sharpened by the
broilers with which he had been regal-
ed by the hospitabl landlord. Among
those who spoke briefly were Messrs.
McEll-oy, Tammany, Mather, Miller,
lH'oyt. Oliver. Field, xPidgeon. Llnxweil-
or, McMahOn Keogh, Milne, McLean.
Goodrich and Boxerdue.
Those present at the dinner were
