A hearing was held on the o ter, but neither the ,\‘Ki“‘: B l\:l)nY:)rk- i any noOI i . company, the only vmter t(l‘ri par- ties, had representatives at the meet- N8, o Engineer Hall reported that would cost about $2,200 to lay a concrete street or al{out $1,000 for a sand foundation. The commission- ers voted to issue bonds for a con- Clete trect and have them submitt- ed at the next meeting of the board next Tuesday evening. The matter of laying a subway in the street wus discussed at length and it was voted to have the engineer take the matter up with the United Electric Light and Water company- Mr. Weber Says Things. The other hearing was on the pro- posed extension of the Grand street sewer from it present terminus at Griswold street westerly to the pro- perty owned by Mrs. Weber. Mrs. Mary Weber was represented by her son. He - stated. that his mother was strongly in favor of the proposed improvements. Thomas White, the other interested party, said the sewer would not be beneficial +to him in any manner. When the gentlemen were dismi ed by the chairman Mr. Weber ri and addressed the members of the board saying that he had a number of questions that he would like io ask of them. And he did, for in the next few minutes the commission- ers were forced to sit and listen to « volley of talk from him. He first inquired of Engineer Hall where the. city got the idea that the property involved by the petition, belonged to the eity. » Engineer Hall replied that it was the opinion of Corporation Counsei Cooped who had sent in a communi- cation to the board to this effect. ; This started Weber on a long har- angue of words, in which he laid stress on the fact that his mother had been a property owner on. the street before the corporation counsecl or the engineer was born, and for this reason he knew what he was talking about, when he disputed the wisdom of ‘Judge Cooper in render- ing such a decision. He demanded to know where the city’'s legal ad- visor could get the right to close up a city street. He reached into his pocket and drawing forth a bundle of papers he pointed them at tha members of the board and informed would give him the right to down every obstfuction paved on the street by the city. He also tes- tified the board that he could go on= step further if nece: ry and gel documents dated 1492 which showed that the street was a street and had grass growing near it at that time. The board howcver did not request that he exhi is antigue. He threatened the city with suit if it went ahead and closed up the street stating that he would spend his good hard earned money to attain resul:s that he expected would terminate in his favor. He was still in the midst of his verbal explosion when Engin- cer Hall asked Mr. White if he cared to make any siatement. Mr. White simply said that he would expe reimbursement if any damage was done to his property. The board voted later in the eve- ning, after the smoke had cleared away, to recommend the sewer. Petitions Reccived. The following petitions were ceived: From George Kroll for a sewer in Short street. It was tabled. From E. J. Danberg and James Everson for the sprinkling of Stan- ley street from Plcasant to BEllis street with oil. It was voted to re ommend to the council that a sm car of oil be purchased and the sprinkling ordered. From E. O. Kilbourne ana H. V. Camp for the laying of a crosswalk on the West line of Stanley street ne:: - Commonwealth avenue. It was voted to order the walk after the curbs had been set at the place. The petition of Gostow Sobolewski et at. for a fiag or concrete walk cn { both sides of Sheffield street tabled. A hearing was ordered on the pe- tition for a sewer on Mill street. A petition was received for a walk on Ash street and it was voted grant property owners a hearing. The New Britain Ice Corporation, et al. sent a petition for the macad: mizing and curbing of Corbin place and it was votod to grant a hearing to the petitioners. Resident of Columbia street knock re- was to will | be given a hearing at the next meet- ing on the petition for sidewalks on the north side. A Pecaliar Situation. At a recent mneeting of the board the United Electric Light and Water company was granted permission place a large electric advertising sign on the building occupied by it as an office on West Main street. Engineer Hall reporied that he had investigated the matter and found that ithe proposed sign would extend out over the building line of the street several feet. He quoted the ordinance w | in regard to the matter and it was dis- cussed at length by the commissioners. The proposed sign is nv doubt one that will be of material benefit to the citv on account of its vrilliancy, and the board felt that the matter ought to them that they were documents that | Cash Wall Buildérs of New Homes It’s Worth While 40c OFF THE $1.00 THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM (If He Goes After It) Be An EARLY BIRD and GO AFTER the BIG SAVING We Offer You in Qur Annual Paper Sale Better Think This Over 3 and 5 Franklin Square.

Daly of Bristol, who presented a bill against the city for damages incurred by his automobile going through the Steele street bridge last fall, suggested the payment of $50.
