The Court of Burgesses room was crowded Monday evening when Warden Keeler called the last regular meeting of the Board to order. Warden-elect Kimmey and Burgesses-elect Green and Squires were interested spectators of the meeting which lasted until 10.30 o’clock. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved and the following bills ordered paid : ' E. O. Keeler, assignee, $122; Nor- walk GAZETTE, 1.50; N orwalk Printing Company, 34.75; Chas.

The bill of J ames,'l‘oner, $10 for ser- vices in the Rice—Hanlon case was re- ferred to the Warden to pay if found correct, and the bill of E. M. Merritt, $7.80 for work done at Hope Hose house, was referred to the Fire Com- mittee with the same instructions. When the bill of Wm. Sheldon, $60. 58 for work in laying curb and gut- ter in front of Col. Roberts’s school on East avenue, was reached, Burgess Bowe said that he desired to make a statement. He had ordered the curb reset, supposing at the time that Col. Roberts had been served with a notice by the bailiff to lay lJlS curb even with the line of the street. 001. Roberts was down on the list of property own- ers on East aucnue, who had been no- tified to lay proper curb, and his name had been checked off, but through an error, he had not been notified. Sup- posmg that the Col. did not intend to comply with the notification, he had ordered the work done, but he had since learned that the 001. had never received the proper notice. The Court ordered that the bill be paid, and the clerk was instructed to consult the Bor- ough Attorney and see what could be done in making 001. Roberts pay for the work. Burgess Kent inquired when the Highway Committee were ordered to lay curb and gutters on East avenue, and the clerk after searching diligently for some time, read the Vote of the Court at the September meeting, or- dering the Committee to have the work done. Some discussion arose over paying the bill of P. W. Bates, $12.70 for sharpening tools for Contractor Conley, it being claimed that the contractor should sharpen his own tools. The clerk after looking over his bills of the last year found no precedent for the bill and it was referred to Highway Committee. . A petition was received from reSI- dents of Maple avenue and Lynes Place, asking the Court to establish building lines on those streets. ' Mr. B. W. Maples in explanation of the petition stated that it was threat- ened that two tenement houses were Soon to be erected on Maple street,that Would be flush with the street line, thus shutting off the view of all houses above them. A vote was passed that no house be erected on Maple street, less than 31 feet from the curb line, and no houseon Lynes Place less" than 20 feet from the curb line. George H. Raymond was granted permission to erect a building on Elm street, and William Wardwcll was granted permission to erect a building on lsaac street. The reply of Col. William H. Steven- son to the clerk’slettcr in regard to the locomotives whistling, while passing through town, and wnich has already beer published in the DAILY GAZETTE, was read and laid on the table. A communication from Gen. D. N. Couch, stating that the sidewalk alongside of the Masonic building on Isaac street, was not a proper one, and asking that the Board construct a. new one, was read and laid on the table. Mr. B. W. Maples called the atten- tion of the Board to the horrible c0n- dition of the gutter on Isaac street, alongside of the Masonic building, where the hitching posts are situated, and which is caused by the horses which continually stand there, and asked that the Highway Committee be given power to repair the same. Burgess Bowe did not think that the Borough should stand the cost of the repairs as the building was non-taxable property and-tho gutter belonged to the building. The matter was finally left with the committee with power. Residents of St. John avenue pet-i- tioncd for a cross walk from that ave: nue over East avenue, near the resi- dence of Dr. George Baxter. The poti- tion was referred to the Highway Com- mittee With power. The Water Commissioners notified the Board that they would need $1,000 to pay the interest on water notes which would be due Jan. lst, and the matter was referred to the Finance Committee with power. The following list of taxes were re- bated : W. H. Lockwood, $8.25, LOWe & Howard $8.25, George T. Merrill $1.50, Barney McGovern and wife 82 48. James F. Hall and Edgar N. Sloan, were appointed auditors of the Borough accounts for the coming year ata salary of $55 apiece. Complaint was received of an ill- smelling catch basin in front of the street, and the Sewer Inspector was directed to inspect the_Source.‘ Burgess Bowe called the attention of the Board to the walls in front of the James A. Hoyt homesteadon East ave- nue, and said that he had ordered the walk graded and that the Warden had stopped the work. While he questioned the authority of the Warden, at the time, to stop the work, he did nothing in the matter, and simply wished the residence of John Jarvis, on Main Board to give him instructions in the case. Warden Keeler stated that he had been called to the scene of operations one morning last week, and asked to stop the work. The Hoyt’s claimed that no notification had been given them to grade the sidewalk, but they were willing to do the work in the spring. They had had some difliculty about getting stone for the work, and the way the workmen were setting about the Work it appeared that they were about to trespass on the Hoyt’s land. Fer these reasons he had ordered the mork stopped, as it would save the Bor- ough the expense of a law suit with the parties. Burgess Bowe stated that Burgess Vauderhoef had had a talk with Mr. Gould Hoyt, and that he was willing that the work should be done. The Warden replied that his under- standing was different ' Burgess O’Reilly inquired what the condition of East avenue now was. Burgess Bowe informed him that it was in an unfinished condition. Mr. O’Reilly said that it was the opinion of a large number. of citizens that the Borough was spending agre‘at amount of moneyon East avenue, and thought that as them was only about two weeks more for the present court to act in, that they should go slow. Burgess Vunderhoef stated that he had had a talk with Mr. Gould Hoyt about grading and laying the sidewalk in front of the homestead and‘that Mr. 110th was agreeable to the laying of the wal '. -.Mr. Gould Hoyt who was in the " room, stated that he had never made any such statement to the burgess, and further that he had not declined to put down the walks this year. Burgess Vanderhoef said that he had brought .‘r’lr. Hoyt up from the East N orwalk depot in his carriage one chning laso summer, and that while on the way home he had had a talk With him about not paying for the sidewalk which had already been put down in front of his place. Mr. Hoyt admitted this, but still claimed that he had cher said to Mr. Vandernocf or anyone else that he was willing that the work should proceed at once. At this point quite a heated culloquy took place between on. Hoyt and Mr. Vanderhoel, nucn to the amusement of the spectators who expected to see the two gentlemen come to blows. Mr. U’neilly offered a resolution at this point directing that no new Work be Commenced on East avenue thls year and that operations already be- gun, cease. This resolution was not voted on and Was finally Withdrawn. - Burgess cht inquired of the High- way Committee 11 any contracts had been given out for additional work on East avenue. Mr. Vanderhoef stated that theie had. The W urden asked if the property owners who had been ordered to lay sidewalks and had not done so, had been notified that in ease they did not comply With the orders that the Court would do the work. He was informed that they had been so notified. J. Belden Hurlbutt in ormed the Court that he had been consulted in regard to taking out an injunction in the Hoyt case, and he thought that if the parties were WIlling to pay the costs of the sidewalks themselves, they should have been granted the delay asked for. As to the notices sent to his client he was not prepared to state at this time whether they were legal or not. He did not think that the Highway Com- mlttec had acted with propriety in the matter. He had drawn up an injunc tion and was prepared to have it served should work again commence on the Hoyt Sidewalk. Burgess Bowe said that in ordering the Work done he did not intend to humiliate the Hoyt family in any way, but was simply carrying out the in- structions or the Board given at a former meeting. it havmg been ascertained that no legal contracts had been made with anyone to do additional work, burgess Buxton offered a resolution which was adopted, that. no more snicwalks be laid down by the Borough, unless the property owners should petition the Board for the same. Burgess U’Rellly wanted to know how much more money the Highway Committee intended to lay out on East avenue. Burgess Bowe stated that no more money Would be laid out there. The chairman of the Finance Com- mittee was authorized to borrow $5,000 on the credit of the Borough. Captain McKeon asked if anything had been done in the matter of increas- ing the membership of Hope Hose 00. Chairman Burr said that he was in favor of increasing the membership of the company although no other com- pany desired it. On motion of burgess Buxton Chap- ter 10, Section 1 of the Borough by- laws was amended so as to read: “Each of said companies shall consist of any number or active members Voluntarily enlisted for not less than two, nor more than five years.” Burgess Vanderhoef stated that the reports published in the papers that the present Board had increased the Borough debt $33,000 was misleading, and said that clerk Hubbell had drawn up a statement showing the condition of affairs. As the clerk had inadvert- ently left the paper at his oflice,it could not. be read to the Board. There being no further business be- fore the Board, a motion to adjourn until Dec. 2lst was put and carried. -. Now For Christmas. \V. B.
