COMMITTEE ON STREETS.

Petitions For Various Improvements
 Considered And Recommendation
 Made.
 The Committee on Streets held a meeting in rooms 10 and il City Hall last evening, Alderman w. J. Bradley presiding. The committee heard parties interested in the fol lowing petitions and acted upon them as noted:
 Modification of order for sidewalk on the north side of Comm cree street between Con- gress avenue and Water street. This related principally to that part of the walk in front of D. M Welch's store on the corner of Con gress avenue and Commerce street: The original order was for brick, and on petition of MT. Welch the order, so far as related to his store, was changed to concrete. He commenced to lay his walk without curb so that he could back up to his doors and load his grocery wagons, and, as he claims, the Board of Public Works, which he thought sufficient authority. Be fore proceeding far with his work he was ordered to stop by the same Board because ho was laying no curb. Then followed an- other petition to the Court of Common Coun- cil and another reference to this committee. Last evening the committee heard what MT. Welch, s. H. Barnes and E. G. Stoddard had to say the subject and in executive ses- sion voted to recommend that MT. Welch be permitted to lay concrete walk with curb full height and full length. Sidewalk on the west side of Arthur street, from Lamberton to Rosette streets, and curb and grade on the east side thereof. Voted to recommend concrete walk on the west side before November 15, 1885, and grade and curb on the east side before Au- gust /, 1886.

 Are the taxpayers at pre@nt paying an inspector of sidewalks? If soIf he walks down Brown street, he will see tIere is only room for one person to walk oa it, for at each side there is at least two fe& high of large weeds, and if not cleared away before the winter comes no one can yass on it. I would also auqpest that he aspect the sidewalks where trees are plantSd, for in many cases the roots of the trees sause the bricks to rise three and four ;sches and makes walking danger ous. NOW small expense can put all in ,ood shape and not wait until they have to he feplaced by an entire new pavement which ,,ould cost considerable. We trust he will see to it at once and save expense to tax payers. Now if he works down Wooster, Olive, Brewery and Brown streets, etc., he will see at once the necessity of attending to my remarks about the trees raising the bricks, etc. Yours, s. l..

That Snow Storm North.

The untimely snow storm that swept over Vermont and New Hampshire Wednesday and lasted all day was accompanied by a piercing winter gale, and left snow piled up in central Vermont to the depth of a foot. In many places it was deeper and the roads were impossible. Much damage was done to crops by freezing. Yet here, only 40 miles south of that January weather, there was nothing this morning even of the gener- ally expected frost, and the flower gardens are still in bloom It is all very odd and unusual-such wintry weather in September as that which occurred on the 23d, and the escape of southern New England from even 8 frost when such weather was prevailing a hundred miles north of us. But it was memorably cold day for September here.- Hartford Times.

The Contract for Naptha Lighting
 Not Yet Awarded-An Exhibition
 Before the Lamp Committee.
 The Lamp committee are about to make
 a new contract for lighting the city with
 naptha in streets where there is no gas. The
 bids have been advertised for and opened,
 but the contract has not yet been awarded.
 Among the bidders are the New York and
 New Jersey Globe Gas Light company of New
 York Hhe present. contractors,) J. N. Murray
 of New York, John J. Flynn and Thomas
 Brennan of New Haven. The present con- tractors offer to do the work for the old price, which is $26 per annum for each lamp. It is understood that there are other bidders whose prices are lower than the present con tractors but how much less has not yet been made known. All the bidders were request ed to appear before the committee last even- | ing with a sample of their lanterns that the committee might decide which was the best. | The Globe Gas Light company | was represented by Nicholas R. O'Connor, sec retary of the company, who was present with a lantern to which was attached the Will lington patent burner. This burner was pronounced far superior to the old style It 1 is of sixteen candle power, while the old 1 burner is only from thirteen to fourteen candle power. MT. O'Connor stated that his company was willing to put the new burners on all lamps out of order and on all new. | lamps that might be ordered, so that they would finally entirely supersede the old l burners He said his firm was at present | lighting 103 cities and towns, in ninety six of which the new burners were being used. l Thomas Brennan exhibited lantern with | the old style of burner, the patent of which, | MT. O'Connor claimed, was owned and con tIolled by his company and could not be l used without their consent.
 Councilman John J. Flynn did not present | any sample of lantern, but said to the com mittee that he would be prepared to do so at their next meeting.
 ! J. N Murray, of New York, was not pres ent himself, neither was he represented by ! anybody.
 The committee at their next meeting will ! probably decide as to whom they will award tine contract.
 There are about five hundred naptha lamps | in use in the city, the cost of which at the ! old contract price is about ,OO0. The ! price paid includes the care and lighting Of ! the lamps and keeping them in repair. Three Hundred Thousand Menhaden. During the months of July and August about three hundred thousand menhaden were buried near the peat works in Madison.
