' Mr. Emmett fhs nominated for clerk by Mr. An- son and the nominafion was sec- ded by Commissioner Jghn Kelly. [here was'no opposition. .~ As pointed out in the Herald edi- orfal columns last night it was neces- Jary to declare the office of city engi- teer vacant before anyone other than . Oldershaw could be chosen to hat position. Mr. Downes made the motion that the board declare the of- ce vacant. Mr, Moore wanted to thow the reason for the motion.

The matter was put to a vote, Mr. Moore voting ‘“no.” Donlan Nominates Hall. The next matter of business was to elect Mr. Oldershaw’s successor. Com- missioner Thomas D. Donlan, the new member of the board, looked at Mr. Anderson. The latter nodded and Mr. Donlan nominated Mr. Hall for city engineer. The nomination was sec- onded by Mr. Downes. In explaining the nomination Mr. Donlan said that Mr. Hall was the _choice of Mayor Quigley and the ad- ministration should be given any co- operation possible. “I don’t want to have my remarks considered as being in opposition to Mr. Hall” said Mr. Kelly. “But as { T understand it the duties of the city | engineer are to be greatly increased. { The work of this board is bound to create criticism. It has in the past in in doing Chairman other cities as well as in New Brit- ain. The presidents of this board have come in for a great amount of . criticism no matter how painstaking they might have been. I think it is almost too much for one man to han- : dle the work that has been done by the city engineer and the president of | the board as well. “I am not opposed to Mr. Hall, but I owe it to myself to make this state- | ment. I have been on this board for six years and I have heard a great deal of criticism, much of which has| been unjust. Most all cities have the- same experience. The point I wish to emphasize is just this, criti- cism falls on the head of the depart- | ment and I question whether it will | be wise to place additional responsi- | bility on that head.” | “We have no option in the matter,” | said Mr. Downes. “The common coun- cil has passed an ordinance stating, what the duties of the city engineer shall be. T'm sure I don’t know a more capable or efficient man than Mr. Hall.” i “I am not antagonistic to Mr. Hall ! or to any administration policy but I just wish to state my stand,” re- plied Mr. Kelly. Co-Operate With Mayor. “The office has been declared va- cant and ‘must be filled,” said Mr. Donlan. “Mayor Quigley thinks well of Mr. Hall and if he has confidence in him I think he should be chosen. I would not say anything against the other gentleman, but I think it bnly fair to appoint the man the mayor has selected.” “In addition to that he should hava something to say as to who will be his assistants and he should have the support of this board,” said Chairman Humphrey. “I never heard any criticism of Mr. Oldershaw and it seems to me that we should have some reason for his re- moval,” said Mr. Moore. - “That is not necessary,” Chairman Humphrey. “When the previous administration went into power it had its policy which was carried out. The present adminis- tration also has its policy.” The selection of Mr. Hall having been disposed of Chairman Hum- phrey suggested that the matter of choosing his assistants, the assistant 3 the superintendent of sewers and the superintendent of be laid over until the next ng. ‘The suggestion was followed out, At this Mayor Quigley left the room etus 8 short time later with replied Mr. Hall, who received instructions as to what street work is to be taken up immediately. Street Work Mapped Out, The new engineer was instructed to start as early as possible macadamiz- ing Olive street. Willow and West streets will be attended to next. Mr. Downes believed that all connections should be put in by property owners on a street before that street is paved. Mayor Quigley expressed the opinion that the street should’ be skipped un- less the property owners did attend to the connections. City Enginecr Hall recommended that the depart- ment employ an inspector to attend to the refilling after pipes are laid and alse to new sidewalk work. Chair- man Humphrey suggested that Coun- cilman T. J. Coyle had done very ef- ficient inspection work for the sewer department. Under the head of new grading work the city engineer was instructed to grade Lincoln street from Corbin avenue to Hart street at a cost of $1,250. It was also declded to grade Hart street from Vine street to Cor- | bin avenue and also to grade Steele street as soon as the department can get around to that task. Petitions Received. The following petitions were ceived: For grading Wooster street, hear- ing ordered. By Carl Berggson for permission to connect property on Bassett street with sewer in Roberis street, re- ferred to hoard of compensation and assessment. By L. H.

It was stated by one of the commissioners that the poles had al- ready been set. It was voted to grant the required permission and to inform the Telephone company not to set any more poles until authorized to do so by the board. A hearing was held on the laying out of Market street and as there was no objection from the property owners it was decided to have a forty foot street and five foot building lines.
