 At a special meeting of the Board of Pub. lie Works held last evening His Honor Mayor Lewis presided. On taking the chair His Honor said it was unnecessary for him to state the object of the meeting, which as all knew was to take suitable action regarding the death of City Engineer Fowler. On motion of Mir. Pond 8 committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions re- garding the death of MT. Fowler. The Mayor appointed Messrs Pond and Feldman on the committee The committee retired, and sf- ter half an hours absence submitted the fol- lowing:
 The sad tidings of City Engineer Fowlers death, after an illness of one week, came with such suddenness that the shook is se- verely felt, and it seems hardly possible that he who was so recently at his post of duty has passed away.
 In the death of our city engineer we as Board, as well as citizens: feel that in his death severe loss has been sustained by the community. For fourteen years Charles B. Fowler has filled the position of city engi- neer, and during his long service he was ever faithful to his duties, courteous at all times to the members of the city govern ment and the citizens with whom his official duties brought him in contact. Always prompt to duty, reliable in all his work and dealings, and it gives us pleasure as members of this Board to testify to his sterling worth, honesty of purpose, fidelity as an officer and an honorable citizen. Therefore,
 Resolved-That we, the Board of Public Works of the city of New Haven, tender to the widow and family of our late officer, Charles E. Fowler, our sympathies in this their hour of affiiction, and that we, as 8 Board, attend the funeral in body.
 Resolved-That this action be part of the minutes of this meeting, and be entered in full on the records of this Board.
 MT. Pond in response to the resolution said that the news of MT. Fowler's death came very suddenly to him, as he only heard that he was ill a day or two before his death. He said he was reminded that stin the midst of life we are in death" He could but testify his appreciation of the ability and sterling worth of the late Engineer Fowler. Mir. Feldman said that he felt that the loss of MT. Fowler was great one to the city and the community. He was afaithfu1 of. ficer and an honest man.
 Mayor Lewis said he had been acquainted with Mr. Fowler for thirteen years and he had never known more faithful officer. The city, he said, had met with great loss, and his handiwork would be shown in the years to come. I do not think too strong language can be used regarding his diligence and sterling worth. The resolutions offered are but eminently fit and proper for the oc- casion.
 The resolutions were passed unanimously.
 Commander Ire E.. Hicks telegraphed Fred H. Waldron last evening that himself and entire staff would be present at the funeral. The bearers will be made up from the G. A. R., Board of Public Works and the vestry of Christ church.
 MT. Fowler's desk in the City Hall is heav- fly draped in crape, in the center of which is life like photograph of the dead engineer.
