WEST RIVER STRENGTHENING.

The Town and City Committees
 Discuss the Matter Without Re- suIts-A Small Financial Matter Makes the Trouble.
 The strengthening of West river from Whal1ey avenue to Martin street was heard before the joint committee of the Board of Public Works and the Board of Se1ectmen last evening.
 Mir. Pond of the Board of Public Works was selected as chairman of the committee. After reading the various orders by the chairman discussion arose as to the former straightening between Martin street and Derby avenue.
 The committee on the part of the city claimed that the town was indebted to the city for certain portion of engineering and surveying (about $S0O, which included the engineers work on the Chapel street bridge, maps, &c.
 After considerable talk the city committee decided that they were not appointed to dis cuss foreign matters and then came down to the point whether the city or town should do the engineering and surveying.
 Mr. English thought the city should pay one-half of the strengthening of the water course and they had not done so in the form CT straightning This should be paid to the town before other bargains were made.
 Mr. Crawford thought the city committee was not there to fix up any old claims, but only for the present strengthening.
 Mr. English said that the Board of Select men or it's committee proposed to have old I l0ofo ,,r.Oooo5incy further
 Mir Holcomb said if that was the position to be taken that there was no need of hold ing any farther conference on the subject.
 Mir Crawford said that if the committee on the part of the Selectmen were acting on the basis which they had stated there was nothing further for them to do and they might as well retire The committee of the Board of Public Works were not there to settle any old claims.
 Mr. Tyler said he proposed to have the old bills settled first before making any other agreements with the city.
 Clerk Geary made statement that the city had claims against the town for care and repairs of the City Hall amounting to between S2, ,000 and S, 900, and MT. Reynolds proposed to deduct what the city owed the town from these bills.
 MT. Holcomb said it appeared to him that there was no disposition on the part of the COmm1tCe0 the DOdIu O1 oO1CSGAA4O1 IO " operate with the committee on the part of the city. He said; I'We have no disposition to beat you gentlemen out of anything, and you ought to see that this is not our disposition"
 Mr. Crawford said to the committee of Selectnen that if they wanted to hinder this improvement then they must take the re sponsibility.
 The whole matter finally dwindled down to the fact that there might be discrepancy of $500 between the city and town and if the Board of Public Works would agree through their committee to pay one-ha1t the amount, whatever it may be, then the committee on the part of the Selectmen would listen to any proposition the city might desire to make.
 After farther discussion and without reach ing any definite conclusion it was voted to adjourn, with the understanding that the joint committee will meet again to-mor- row evening at s o'clock at the same place.

 Letters received at the State Republican headquarters indicate great activity among Republicans all over the State Meetings held the latter part of last week were larger than old workers can remember at so early a stage in the campaign.

 Senator Platt says he has never witnessed more enthusiasm among the Republican masses of the State than he finds wherever he goes in Connecticut in this campaign. It reminds him of the 'fdead earnestness' of the campaign of 1856, and since that year he has seen nothing like it.

Libby, of New Britain, who, grasping the newly installed pastor by the hand, gave him kindly welcome. The Rev.
