These streets | rep: {ant highways in the city and board -ussed a proposition for the ex- perimental laying of 1,000 square vards of surface asphalt on each of the highways and left the decision to the chairman and engineer. Both | were in favor of it as were members of the hoard. | The discussion of the proposed work followed a proposition made by |the €. W. Blakelee Co. of New Haven which has a new process of | | street surfacing which it is elaimed [ would be ideal for West Main and | Main streets because of the ex- cellent foundations there, According {to a representative of th company | present at the meeting, the new | process would leave the streets with a | smooth surface without tearing up | the foundations which have been | pounded solid through the years. The | New Haven company guarantees the | work. The representative told the board that the process was new in | this part of the country but was used extensively in the middle west. The company has a special ma- chine which first levels the rough surface of the highway. Another ma- chine, which has not been used in this vicinity vet, heats the surface to such a degree that workmen on it have to use special wooden shoes, and then asphalt is welded over the old surface. The cost of the work varies from $1.08 to $1.60 a square vard according to the amount of work done. The hoard considered these prices low. The board considered authorizing the Blakelee company to lay 1,000 | square yards of the top pavement on West Main street between South Burritt and Lincoln strests and a similar amount on East Main street at Landers, Frary & Clark's factory th surface is very rough. A on will be made in a few days by Chairman George R. Dobson and City Engineer Philip Merian and it is probable that work will be started | soon on the experimental sections. If it is found satisfactory, the pave- ment will probably be used on sev- cral important highways. The New Haven company is finishing a large amount of work in that city and is | anxious to have the hoard make an carly decision so that it can start the work here at once. Wilcox Street Extension A large number of complaints were made to the board at a hear- ing on taking land for highway pur- poses from West to North streets, in- cluding Erwin Place, the highway to be a continuation of Wilcox street. arly a score of property owners were present and many of them dis- | covered that the widening would cut | into their property. In many cases steps and hedges would be taken away and in one case the steps of the Ukrainfan hall |would have to be removed. The | board propesed to widen the street | 10 feet on the west side to make |t 40 feet in width. One man said Ithat with the proposed acceptance and extension he would have the street on one side and a schoolyard | on the other and he would then be auite willing to sell his property to [the city. Upon taking a vote it was dis- covered that a slight majority of the owners favored the acceptance and extension of the street. Those in opposition said that they would agree to the move if the 10 foot widening on the west side was re- duced to five feet. That, however, would leave only a 20 foot highway instead of the 28 feet favored by the city engineer, who said that the street over which two buses pass would be much too narrow. The board voted to lay the matter over for inspection. In the meanwhile | West | The Beacon Ofl Company's plant, | tugal, has prescnted an official note | one must = be ,removed and the others repaired. The board was in favor of doing this work. The cost will be $127. The work will be taken care of by the Gilbert Co., a representative of which inspected the trees in question and reported to the engineer. "During the time that it is being done, Chief Hart Il be asked to furnish police pro- tection. Other petitions for the removal of trees were received and were acted upon as follows: three poplars at 31 Brighton street, will be inspect- £d; all trees in front of 210-212 Oak street, owner wants them removed because they- throw shade over a proposed new greenhouse, to be In- spected; two trees at 445 West Main street, to be inspected; tree at 45 Sheffield street, for action by the engineer, In the last petition the petitioner stated that the tree was dead and he wanted the wood. Other Petitions A petition was read asking for the installation of concrete walks on Monroe street from Linwoad to Vance street. A hearing will be given to the property owners. Act- ing on a petition asking for imme- diate improvements with crushed stones on Eddy-Glover boulevard beginning at Farmington avenue which is said to be in deplorable condition, the hoard voted to give temporary relief on the street. The board gave the engineer and strect superintendent permission to act on a petition requesting repairs on Goveronr street. A petition asking for repairs on Jackson street was laid over for inspection. The board was requested to ac- cept Somerset Drive from Corbin avenue to Underhill Lane. Engineer Merian told the board that several years ago plans for the acceptance of the street were made but a 12 inch strip of land left by, the devel- opers of Underhill Lane frustrated the board’s purpose. A hearing was ordered. A petition for the installation of additional street lights on John | street was laid over pending in\e tigation by the engineer. It was clso voted to lay over a petition for in- spection which requested repairs on curbs on Church street opposite the Skinner Chuck Co. Petitions asking for permission to install illuminat- ing signs at 63 Broad street and on Main street at James V. Onorato’s store were referred to the chairman and engincer with power.

It was a tete-a- tete and - none of Tunney's friends went along. The long-heralded meeting with George Bernard Shaw ‘will take place in the middle of September after the playwright has returned from his Italian vacation and Tun- ney is finished with his continental trip. Tunney is still clinging status, as a “private American citi- zen,” and when friends suggested that he give five minutes daily at a specified time to seeing newspaper men, answered: *I den't see why I should. I am an ordinary private citizen."” This morning he discussed with Thornton Wilder, the novelist, their proposed walking tour on the con- tinent which it has now been de- cided will be in the Tyrol. Another visitdr was the Marquis of Clydes- dale, young boxing enthusiast, ‘While no arrangements have yet been made for a golf match be- tween Tunney and the Prince of Wales, membefs of the American group hope that a match may eventually be brought about through S8herman Cottingham, ama- teur golfer who has a private links at Maidenhead and plays frequently with the price. Should a meetin: or. the links be arranged it is figur ed that Wales is likely to win, Tun ney customarily going around in the low 90's or high 80's while th prince averages a few strokes less.

S, Aug. 29 ®—The Halifax Herald says today that ow- ing to objections registered by cer- tain Anglican rectors against what X-RAY, GAS and OXYGE} they term his “modernist utter- ances,” the Rev. Robert Norwood of New York will do his preaching in other pulpits than those of the An- glican church while he is in Nova Scotia.

He is a native of |t Nova Scotia. “In view of the protests,” the pa- per quotes Dr. Norwood as saying. | I “I have reached the conclusion that | of an Anglican church in Nova Scotia.” those making the protest had got his utterances “all twisted up.” He told the paper that BOSTON'S TAX RATE Boston, Aug. 29 (A—Mayor Nich- ols anmounced Jast night that Bos- on's tax rate for this year will be .80 per $1,000 valuation.
