 A special meeting of the Board of Public
 Works was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Pond (presiding), Sargent, Joyce and Feldman.
 The petition of the Board to the Railroad Commissioners for permission to lay out
 widen and extend Brewery street across the tracks of the New Haven and Northampton railroad, the New York, New Haven and
 Hartford railroad and the New Haven, Derby and Arsonia railroad at grade, and the reply of the Railroad Commissioners with accom- panying order that the hearing be had at the
 office of the New Haven and Northampton
 Railroad company on Friday, Oct. 18th, at
 o'clock D. m were read and ordered on file A communication was read from President
 Yeamans, of the Northampton railroad, in which he says that his company will not ob- ject to crossing at grade when the extension of Brewery street is properly laid out. Two letters were received from President Bartholomew, of the Derby railroad. The first dated Oct. 3rd, says that, in the
 opinion of the president, the directors will not object to the crossing of the tracks at
 grade in the proposed extending and widen ing of Brewery street.
 In a letter dated October 9th he says the widening of Brewery street over Basin wharf twenty feet, all to be on the seaward side is going to cause great damage to the Derby road by curtailing their present freight facil- ities, which are already too contracted. He thought that at least one half of the widen l ing should be taken from the other side of | the extension and that nothing should be | done to cripple the Derby railroad. The various letters were ordered on file The petition and order for 8 sewer on Hill house avenue, on each side, at the rear of residences the avenue, were referred to the Corporation Counsel with the request that he draw the necessary papers to give the l city the right of way as proposed by the property holders.
 It was voted that the city engineer be au- l thorized to build the sewer without contractl as-soon as the right of way is obtained. l Rev. Dr. Woolsey asked for permission to remove a small maple tree in front Of his | idence on Church street, which was granted | The city engineer said that there had been | 8 little misunderstanding in regard to the re | laying of the track of the Fair Haven and l Westvile horse railroad at the corner of I Grand and State streets, although there was l & disposition the part of President Ives | of the road, to comply with the rules of the 1 Board and have the track laid in accordance
 with their wishes, The matter was referred | to the city engineer with directions to see l that the work was properly done. | Owing to the illness of Mir Doyle, who has l been ailing for about week, the superin-
 tendent of parks was directed to temporarily 1 take charge of the inspection of streets with l out increase of pay.
 It was reported that the wood blocks on
 the approach to Quinnipiac bridge had be- | come displaced on account of water getting 1 to them and that they should be replaced and 1 re concreted. The matter was referred to l MT. Sargent with power.
 President Pond reported that he had made 1 6 statement to the last meeting of the Board l of Councilmen regarding the transfer of l monies that were needed and the same haC
 been granted. The order he said, would not
 be complete until the Aldermen had acted
 upon the order, He thought that His Hono,
 the Mayor should be consulted in regard tt
 calling a special meeting of the Board O. | Aldermen, as the work of the stone crushel 1 would have to be stopped unless action wal l taken by both Boards The matter was re ferred to President Pond to consult with Hi
 Honor in regard to the matter.
