The old stone crusher works near West vile were burned on the evening of August 9th, 1885, They were insured, building and machinery, for $3,OO0, and the city received $2,9OO.
 The Whitney avenue pavement being then in the process of construction, to supply the contractors with stone pending the construc tion of new works, arrangements were made with the town to set up their portable crush CT on 8 part of the old site and furnish the city with limited quantity of road material for S1 25 per cubic yard.

COMMITTEE ON STREETS.

The Committee on Streets held twenty y-two meetings last year and heard 273 persons in favor of and against the 113 measures con- sidered by them.
 A detailed and comprehensive analysisof the work done by this committee has been pre- pared by MT. Loomis, the assistant city clerk, for publication in the year book, from which easily measure the importance of the work done by this committee, and also how important it is that you should place your most watchful members on this committee.
 The Committee on Claims held seven meet ings, disposed of thirty-seyen petitions and recommended the payment of total of $800
 The Committee on Sewers held seven meet ings, disposed of twenty-five papers and rec commended sixteen sewers.

WEST RIVER STRENGTHENING.

Prior to the beginning of 1885 the channel of West river had been made 8 straight line from Whalley avenue to Derby avenue, distance of little over mile. During 1885 the strengthening was contracted for from Derby avenue 4,000 feet souther1y or nearly to Congress avenue.
 About one-half of this latter contract is completed.
 The total cost to the city of the straighten- ing thus far, including the total amount of the present contract, will amount to ST. 523. .82. While the chief reason for the strengthening of the river is to remove it from the line of the boulevard street and sewer, the work is being done in such a man. ner that nothing will be wasted or thrown away If it is ever made navigable canal s-

THE LAMP COMMITTEE.

The Lamp committee held about fifteen meetings, and have had fifty petitions to con- sider, of which number forty seven were re- ported favorably.
 There are still twenty-five petitions before this committee to be acted on.
 The demand for lamps is constantly in- creasing, 52 having been erected during the past year. This is an increase of twenty three over the preceding year. Of the fifty two lamps erected last year twenty-s seven were gas and twenty-five naptha.
 We now have the center of the city and portion of the principal thoroughfares light ed by electric lights.
 We have 1, ,444 lights distributed as fol- lows: Gas 901, naptha 493, electric 50. A contract for lighting the naptha lamps for the next three years has been made with MT. Thomas Brennan, of this city at $20 per lamp per year. This will result in 8 saving of about $6 lamp yer year on the 493 naptha lamps The committee are still engaged in resetting the lamps at the curb line so as to equalize the light and thereby increase it's of,,1r

Board of Health.


 In addition to it's usual amount of work, the Board of Health during the past year in augurated and carried out in large degree house to house sanitary survey of the city. The survey is completed in the Sec ond, Third, Fourth, Seventh and Ninth wards. It is partly done in the Fifth ward and the rest of the city remains to be done. A careful record of the sanitary condition of each house in the city is thus at hand, or will be when the work is finished, and must prove of great value in case of emer- gency by showing where the immediate work of the board can be most effectualiy applied.
 The sanitary condition of New Haven as at present compared with what itwas, say fifteen years ago shows remarkable change for the better The truth of this must be apparent to anyone familiar with New Haven then and now, and I am of the opinion that we owe great deal to the efforts of the gentle men who have composed the Board of Health in the different years since it's organization. While our population has rapidly increased and we have held our place in rank with the cities of the nation, our death rate has not increased, but if anything diminished. This, in view of the fact that we have the lowest death rate of any seaport town in the world, speaks more forcibly in behalf of the good work of this department than anything which lies in my power to express. New Haven has too much at stake to allow any disease to become epidemic here, and there is hardly chance for this to occur provided the Board of Health receive the necessary support and authority to have its orders enforced. The expenditures of the department for the last year were $7, ,2O9. 15.

 The year just closed has been one of great progress in East Rock Park. Through the generosity of Mrs. Henry Farnam the Far nam drive was extended to it's completion, distance of 1895 feet, making the total length of the drive 13, ,450 feet, or 250 feet over two and one half miles.

An Alleged Fifth Avenue Picture.
PHILADELPHIA Times

An Alleged Fifth Avenue Picture.
Philadelphia Times.
One of the most piquant phases of fash
ionable life uptown is the daily morning
and evening parade of the school girls on
Fifth avenue. These maidens are the
boarding scholars in the fashionable schools
for misses in the neighborhood of Central
park. 1t is the custom for each teacher to
take her class out for an hours promenade
twice a day. The route is always mainly on
Fifth avenue, and variety is gained by turn
ing off at the broad streets or at the parks.
The girls are al tie daughters Of rich East
ern. Western or Southern folks. and are
dressed in the height of fashion. They walk
twO-by-twO in long lines, the teachers uSu-
ally walking in the last rank. 1t is the rule
that they shall talk nothing but French
while they are walking, but as some under
stand that language far better than others,
and as the majority detest it and strive to
devote the walking time to confidence about
their teachers, their clothes and their beauX.
there is very little French, except for the
last couple or two, who have the teache
close at hand.
But the funniest thing about these girl
prOmenaders is the difficulty they have in
flirting and the persistency with which they
indulge in it against the heaviest odds. Per-
hapS they are not so much to blame as
the giddy Fifth avenue youths, who
have for years made it point to
beguile these maidens into this mis-
behavior. The young men ride on the
tops of stages, stand on the stoops or halt
across the way and endeavor to catch the
eye of some round, plump and matronly
little dudne in the ranks. If she looks she
is lost, for at that age it seems impossible
for one of these homeless and lonely little
beings to resist the temptation to try and
cultivate well-dressed. shapely youth. So
the maiden who is tempted rolls her eyes
over to his direction. then takes alarm at his
raising his hat, lest the teacher should be
looking, then turns her orbs at him again,
and grows red and nervous and happy all at
once. Her companions all nudge one an
other and fall to talking French vOlubly, so
as to be sure of completely hoodwinking
the teacher whO ten to one, has eyes of her
own and is dreaming of orange blossoms and
tulle at the expense of a fat banker, who
looked at her two blocks back.

Passementerie jerseys and crocheted silb

the edges and crossing each other, being
very closely pleated together, without a

colors largely imported in silk stockings for
evening wear. They are to be worn with
dresses of corresponding color, or with
toilets. Black stockings will remain in
favor for day use and for the street.
