M.—Modification is in Nature| of Experiment—Little Remonstrance to Sidewalk Orders - at Hearings—Preperty Owners Ordered to Repair Walks and Curbs—Hearings Ordered for October Meeting of Council. An extension of the time imit from fifteen minutes now in force under the present trafic regulations, to thirty minutes and suspension of the rules from 9 p. m. until § a. m. were ordered on Monday evening at a meeting of the court of common council in the council chamber and the police com- missioners were requested to inform the police of the modification in the rules. The change is in the nature of an experiment and if the experiment proves satisfactory it is understood that the trafic ordinance will be changed in accordance with the modi- fication. The meeting was_called to order at 8.45 o'clock by His Honor Mayor Allyn L. Brown, and the minutes of the pre- vious meeting were accepted without reading. Clerk Crowell read his return of pub- lication with reference to the estab- lishment of grades and lines for the sidewalk on _the northerly and south- erly sides of Main etreet, for the es- tablishment of a grade for the north- erly side and southerly side of West Main streer and grade and line for the didewalk on the easterly and south- easterly side of Shetucket street. The return was accepted and approved. Clerk Crowell read his return of pub- lication of the order for new side- walks on Main street easterly of Preston_bridge, new walks cr repairs on Shetucket, Main and West Main streets, and for new walks on Market, Market and Water, West Main and Main streets. These walks were or- Qered at the council meeting on Sept. 4th. The return was approved and ac- cepted. Grade and Curb Hearings. The hearing relative to the estab- lishment of the grade and curb line on Shetucket street was opened. C. J. Isbister asked that the resclution be read, and it was read by the clerk. . Mr. Isbister said he was instructed to speak for the sidewalk under the carc of the New Haven’s divisional en- gineer. It has always been well cared for and he did not see any necessity for a granolithic walk, Mayor Brown reminded him that this was the curb and line hearing and that the sidewalk hearing would open later. Mr. Isbister said he did not see the necessity for a change of the grade. As there was no one eise to be hear the mayor declared the hearing closed and on motion of Alderman Dblbeare the resolution regarding the cstablish-, ment of the grade was passed. The second hearing was on the es- { tablishment of the grade on West Main street. There was no cne who wished to be heard. The hearing was declared closed by the mayor, and the resolu- tion regarding the esiablishment of this grade was adopted on motion of Alderman Dolbeare. The third hearing was on lishment of the grade on Ma easterly of Preston bridge. It was re- guested that the resolution be read and it was read by the clerk. John R. Fowler asked why the grade ctopped at the Walu propert Brown said that the only could see was that it carried it as far junction of the streets. Mr. is a grade already | . Palmer said the srade was es- hed by the state in 1893. He said there is but little change in the new grade and taat it really fixes the grade shed by the hizhway commi some 22 years azo. He had with profile showing the difference of de ordered and the present | | srade. The hearing was then declared closed i as there was no e lse to be heard. The resolutions were then adopted on motion of Alderman Bailey. Sidewalk Hearings Opened. The sidewalk hearings were then opened. The first was on_ the resolu- tion ordering new granoiithic walks in front of certain property on Main street easterly of Prestcn bridge. The clerk read the resolutions as printed in_the journal. John R. Fowler said he thought the lution was not absolutely correct, e appeared to be several prop- erty owners omitted. Mgyor Brown said he would welcome any¥ suggestions that ould correct any part of the resolution. Mr. Harrie spoke as to the width of the walk, which Is to be six fect wide. He said the walk measures now in places from 10 to 12 feet. On that side of the street there are trees. To lay a walk six feet wide would leave the trees in the road. He thought the trees ought to be removed before the walks are laid. He said he realized the need of walks. Mayor Brown said six feet was the width or- dered. He further snid he did not agree with Mr. Harris’ statement that the removal of the trees will beautify the city. The line, he said, has been ordered so that the roots of the trees will not endanger the permanency of the walks. Mr. Palmer said there are a num- ber of streets in the city which have the same construction as is intended there. There was no one else who_wished to be heard and the mayor declared the hearing closed. The resolution, with several minor changes, such as initials of property owmers, was adopt- ed on motion of Alderman Balley. The next matter was the hearing regarding the laying of walks (grano- lithic) or the repairing of present walks and curbs on Shetucket street, Main street and West Malin street. The mayor declared the hearing closed, as no one wished fo he heard and the resolutions were adopted on motion of Alderman Bafley. The next hearing was on the reso- lution order#rg property owners named fo lay granolithic walks and curbs on Main street, Market street, Market and Water streets, Shetuciet strost, and West Main street. On Behalf of Rockwell Building. Attorney John Huntington appeared on behalf of the Rockwell building. He said it is felt the present walk on the Water street side is adequate to the demands. He asked tbat the order be modified regarding the Market and Wager street side. He said that in July the’ street commissioner had ordered the sidewalk relaid in sections. The order had been complied with with the understanding that this wowld cover the situation. Clerk Crowell said that Jennie M. Williams had appeared pefore him re- questing him to remonstrate against the sidewalk crdered in front of her property. There was no one else to be heard, so the mayor declared the hearing closed. The resolution was adopted on motion of Alderman Dol- beare. A petition for additional lights on the lower end of Noxth Main street was read by the clerk. It was signed by John J. Denniz aud seven others. s was referred to the e com- missioners withpower. Dol Claim for Damages. Alderman Dolbeare presented a peti- tion from Emma C.

Traffic Rules Modified. Councilman Babcock then presented a resolution modifying the traffic rules. The resolution follows: That the police commissioners be requested to instruct the police to make no arrests for violation of the present traffic rules until after a ve- hicle has remained standing more than thirty minutes instead of fifieen as heretofore, and no arrests between 9 o'clock at night and 8 o'clock in the morning for standing vehicles. In moving the adoption of the reso- lution Councilman Babcock said that the traffic rules had been considered at a meeting of the council just before they convened in the council chamber and it was thought best to try some such change without changing the or- dinance now in force. He said he believed there should be some way by which the vehicle owners and pedes- trians should be able to streets and the whole of the streets and that they should all be accommodated. If the pedestrians are complaining of the way traffic is carried on they should ask that the speed in the city be made 1 He said he thought that if the pedestrian is to be more protected it should be done by limiting tne speed rather than clearing the streets of ve- hicles. Alderman Bailey said that when the rules were first put in force it seemed as if fifteen minutes were sufficient was also accept- ordered for the but that now it seems that the fifteen- minute period he is_too little. thought thirty minute ble to all. Brown said it was thought advisable to try it out in a modified way before the ordinance is changed. If the ordinance were changed imme- diately it would necessitate expense of publication and would mean at least a month's time before the new ordi- nance could be put in force. The change might then be found unadvis- He said would be able, and the city would then have been put to unnecessary expense. He said that it was the intention to change the ordinance to the thirty- minute limit and suspension between 9 p. m. and 8 a. m, if the experiment is_satisfactory. The resolution was then unanimously passed.
