 Residences PrOposed-The Sewer Svs-

 the City and its Property Owners Sub
 init to the Outrage.
 Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Pond, acting as an indifferent person, served the usual order of notice on property owners in this city di- rectly interested in the layout of the Hart ford and Harlem railroad where their prop erty is to be injured by the proposed layout through this city. From the survey it will be seen that it is proposed to cut through one of the most valuable portions of the city for building purposes and entirely ignoring private family residences in the most deslra- ble part of the city, make the locality fit only, if for anything, business purposes. Should the layout proposed be adopted, 1t will be seen that many persons of limited means will be materially injured, while the | more wealthy will not escape the incon- veniences and loss from the same.
 The layout as proposed, starting from the point where the road crosses the line be- tween North Haven and Hamden, is in sub stance as follows: Crossing the line be- tween North Haven and Hamden; thence south 46P 51 west. 12, 104 feet; cross | ing the Centerville road at the station l above grade Gill feet); crossing highway above erade Ian 22 feet); also a highway by low grade (cut feet); also another highway l below grade (cut feet); crossing road to | Whitneyvi vile below grade (cut feet) crossing road from Mill Rock below grade (cut 10 teet; crossing Morse street below grade (cut v feet); crossing St. Mary's street below grade (cut 22 feet); closing Allan street and turning ' if into Goodrich street west of this location \ and crossing the latter street under grade (cut 23 feet); crossing New Haven city line; ] crossing Daisy street at station below grade (cut 23 feet); crossing the New Haven and Northampton railroad below grade (cut % 5 feet); thence by curve to the left, radius 3, 82O feet, for 2,431 feet; crossing the Boulevard otherwise called Dixwel avenue below grade (cut 22.5 feet) cross ing Bassett street at station below grade (cut 22 5 feet); crossing the New Ha- ven city line, closing the westerly end of Ford street from easterly line of this loca- tion thence south 1O0 26z west; thence by curve to the left, crossing New Haven city line crossing Munson street above grade Gill | 10 feet) thence south. crossing Henry street

 \ Beside the town of New Haven, the city o1
 New Haven and the New Haven and North | ampton railroad company who are cited u ' appear, there are also over three hundred
 persons who live in the city on the line

The hearing before the railroad commis- ! sioners will be on Tuesday, July 17th, in the bar library room in the County Court build ing in this city, when parties in interest will appear and be heard in regard to the layout as proposed.
 It is evident that the proposed layout in wolves the destruction of sewers, water and gas mains, to say nothing of the wholesale destruction of valuable residences through one of the most desirable portions of the city for homes. It remains to be seen whether the railroad commissioners will sanction such n 0ntrapA
