A New Years Watch in a Vault. TFro,o tho Phil. delntia Racord


 The closing moments of the old year had arrived. Laruel Hill Gem was wrapped in the darkness of night, and heavy fog hung over the stately piles of marble which mark the resting places of the distinguished dead, obscuring them from view. Suddenly the quiet was broken by the tolling of bells and the shrieks of locomotive whistles. AL most simultaneously with these tokens of respect to the expiring year bright silvery light flashed over corner of the city of the dead. A moment later, and all was darkness again. Then three flashes followed each other in quick succession. Presently the din was increased tenfold, spreading the news that the new year had come. Again the weird light reappeared. Its rays encircled 8 vault The iron doors were open, and over the heads of the group of people who stood in the entrance, double row of shelves nearly every one occupied by coffin, could be seen. The group comprised five gentle men and lady, all attired in deepest mourn ing.
 Another year gone and a new one in it's place." said the lady, in @ low, musical voice, as she gazed pensively at the coffin on the third lower shelf to the left.
 ''One more year," responded the gentle man nearest her, s'and we're all here.- How many viii be left at the next appointment ?'' The members of the group looked at each other in silence, and then again directed their glances to the interior of the vault For the next five minutes they stood in this attitude, nlotionless. Then the possessor of the musical voice remarked as she drew her watch from its hiding place: ''Ten minutes after twelve-our mission is ended"
 With a last look at the coffin the sextette moved slowly away and entered the carriages which had been waiting at the gateway, the gravekeeper, who had been standing at 8 respectful distance, swung to the iron doors and fastened the lock, the light was exten- gulshed, and all was gloom.
 There is 8 peculiar story back of the scene which was thus enacted in the early minutes of 1882. Back in the '7Os there died in this city gentleman who was as distinguished for his peculiarities as he was renowned for his wealth and good deeds. When his will was opened it was found that he had laid 8 sacred injunction on his children that so long as they remained alive they should see the old year out and the new one in at the foot of his coffin. Ten years have passed away and the injunction has not once been forgotten, although the little group of Saturday night looked upon the easkets which contained the remains of four of their family who had in many years followed the father to his long home. The others are now widely scattered. Some of them are located in Vermont some remain in this city, while one has emigrated so far away as Nebraska but at the close of every year they journey to this city and hold their family reunion in the presence of the dead and under the glare of the calcium lights

Measures are now under way to procure an office for the Corporation Counsel in the City Hall. The constantly increasing duties oi this official make it necessary that he should have a suitable public office where he may be consulted by the different departments and officials as occasion may require It is only right and proper that our law department should be conducted in as systematic man. ner as any other branch of our municipality, and that the files and records should be pre-. served and transmitted as in all other depart | mentS.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Having always been firm believer in the doctrine that the majority ought to rule and
 be held responsible for the correct use of the power intrusted to them, at the beginning
 of last year, without violating any provision of law, I sought to carry out my views in this respect by making each of our executive
 boards conform to the political com- plexion of a majority of our citizens. ! It was suddenly discovered that no man l life was safe GO the streets of our city, and that our police force had become worthless political machine during the administration of my predecessor, although that most | worthy gentleman had testified to the con- I trary in his valed1ctory message to your l honorable body, when he wrote in Decem. Der, 1880: Ut is safe to say that our police protection was never better, " and it has re- gently transpired after a thorough investiga- 1 tion, that Mayor Bigelow's language was jus
 tifed by the facts of the case. For what lit tic semblance of local self government we have, I cannot thank too cordially those high ! minded gentlemen who protested against the efforts of few of their party associates in trying to blacken the character of our city abroad

 ANNEXATION AND EXTENSION OF CITY LINES
 Upon motion of the greater portion of the residents of Fair Haven East, so-called, a petition was presented to the General As sembly at it's last session to annex that por- ton of East Haven to the town of New Haven. The territory to be annexed in &C., cordance with the provisions of the petition was extended by the Legislature so as to en- brace the whole of the frontage on New Haven harbor, and as so extended WAS at tached to the town of New Haven by the concurrent votes of all the localities inter- ested, as provided for in the act of annex ation.
 The system at present in vogue of having practically two forms of local government for the same people and territory is cumber-
 some and expensive, and ought to be obvi 1 ated It is like paying the obligations of the right hand with the resources of the left, | and 0ice 0ersG, with the constant expense of ] an unnecessary friction. I trust that you | will recommend to Representatives 1T l the General Assembly to initiate such meas
 ures as may appear necessary to remedy the | evil.

COMMITTEE ON STREETS.
-Ofsall your joint Standinp committe,

Ofsall your joint standing committees none exceed in importance the Committee on Streets. To ex-Alderman Baldwin, who for seven successive years occupied the position of chairman of this comnlittee too much praise cannot be awarded for fidelity to duty and efficiency in the performance of the same. During that long period the commit tee has never failed to meet through lack of a quorum. This committee recommends the early pavement of few of our most promi- nent thoroughfares, such as Congress, How ard and Whitney avenues together with Dix we'll avenue, which has already been ordered paved I agree with the recommendation of the committee that these avenues ought to be severed before being paved.
 Among other recommendations of the committee I take pleasure in calling your early attention to the necessity of the widen ing of Meadow street and the adoption of 8 uniform block pavement such as the Guidet pavement now in use in front of the new depot. There is undoubtedly justice in the claim of those property owners in main thor oughfares that they ought not to be bardened with the greater portion of the cost of pav- ing those streets, and l trust that you will give your particular attention to this claim in whatever assessment you may make upon such improvements. The public ought to bear its fair share of such expenses it's own convenience or necessity may demand.

HARBOR.

The progress of the breakwater at the mouth of the harbor has been entirely satis- factory. The work has been pushed forward with commendable zeal and as rapidly as the funds at hand would allow.
 We have now channel sixteen feet deep at mean low water and of uniform width of four hundred feet from Long Wharf to Tom- inson's bridge, and of five hundred feet in width for considerable distance below Long Wharf. The value of good water facilities is too important to be lost sight of in view of the city's future developments and I know that you will accord me your hearty sym pathy and cooperation in whatever measures may be taken to further the Improvements now progressing in our harbor.

THE DERBY RAILROAD.

Since the consummation, under the admin istration of my predecessor, of the pooling ar rangement between the Naugatuck and Derby railroads there has been a constant increase in the receipts of the latter road from both passengers and freights. The demand for the removal of the tracks of this road is one that Is founded in wisdom and ought to be attended to without delay. At comparatively slight cost this could be accomplished by making detour across the flats from the Allingtown cut to the tracks of the Consolidated road. If any loss could possibly result to the Derby road from such change I should not favor it., because of the large interests, pecuniary and otherwise, that the city has in the road, but the protection to human life and public convenience that would be occasioned there by is too great to be lost sight of, even though the change would occasion the outlay of a considerable sum of money. We have too many railroad crossings at grade in all parts of the city, and I trust that you will take immediate steps to remedy this evil.

lCONTLNUED FROM FIRST PAGE. itary systems have been underestimated too long. Our health department has for years been doing all in it's power to preserve such @ state of cleanliness as is demanded in our constant ly increasing community. believe it to be a wise and necessary precaution to make such an annual appropriation to the contingent fund of this department as will suffice for the immediate extermination of infectious and contagious diseases without risking the dan ger consequent upon the delay of obtaining 8 special appropriation. I respectfully recon mend to the ordinance committee the fram ing of such an ordinance as will empower the Board of Health to make and complete con- tracts for the removal of garbage, since said Board is charged with the oversight of the proper execution of all contracts of that de- scription.

As you are aware, the old contract between the New Haven Water company and the city will soon terminate, rand new one has been signed for the ensuing ten years.
 By the new contract not only does the city obtain an advantageous settlement of ques- ton of importance, but also the citizens are guaranteed moderate and reasonable terms for themselves when acting in their individual capacities with the Water company.
