Maples again pertiueutly asked as to the proposed cost. Charles L. Glover inquired as to the assessment of benefits and damages. ' City Attorney Lockwood explained that it would be on the same plan as in the Mill Hill improvements. _ .. Mr. Keeler, proposed th it before act- ingupon his resolution the matter be placed intelligently before the voters, and added that he did not believe that the cost to the ‘ city would. be very ex- tensive. He was heartily in accord with all improvements. Mr. Maples suggested that perhaps the city engineer had not taken the time necessary to estimate the probable cost of such widening of the street, and ought to be given more ’time and proposed an adj Jurnmennt, until such time as an approximate estimate of the eXpense might be secured. Selectman Selleck thought it would be advisable to let the matter drop until the Mill Hill matter had been adjusted and the work completed and thought no action ought to be taken until spring. . ~ Mr. Keeler did not want to have the matter voted down, and would be in favor of it if the sense of the meeting was to have the work deferred until next spring.

Sanford, of the ShellFish Commission, whose ex- hibit at the Danbury fair last year ex- cited .3 good deal ‘of favOrable com- ment, has practically completed his col- lection for this year’s exhibit, which promises to afford the best opportunity to study the methods of cultivating, caring for and transplanting and de- ve’Oping oysters ever yet included in any collection either in this state or any other. Last year the exhibit oc- cupied thirty six square feet of space, while thisyear the management has of- fered Mr. Sanford all the room he wants and he has accepted 80 square feet. It will include a display of oysters, of various ages fromone week to twelve years, the different varieties intended for the various markets, with an in- teresting showing of those intended for bluepoints and for the European trade and will show the difference between oyster growing on hard and soft bottom. The star-fish in the act of robbing the shell of the oyster; the driliand the winkle will be included, with appropriate cards explaining their operationS. The display of curiosities will be larger than ever before and more unique. Mr. Sanford has been adding to the collection during the en- tire 'ar. One of the most unique feat- u‘ will be an old hat containing hundreds of oysters, which had “set” upon it. Particular pains will be taken to show the freaks of; the “set” on almost every conceivable articles. Mr. Sanford says results have shown that the young set grow on rubber better than anything else, and the exhibit will include the rubber boot which attract- ed somuch attention at the last fair. Taken in all the exhibit will be the finest of the kind ever seen.‘ To Sell a Balls-odd.
