BOARD OF ooUNo1LmEN.

mercnanIs, aICer WHICH COUNCILMAN dl1ler
said: II am not quite certain what this ordi-
nance means and 1 think it should be tabled
until the next meeting"
Councilman Asher opposed the proposed
action, because, he added, it has already
been given much publicity, and think our
merchants should be protected from these
merchants. A firm came here short time
ago and remained just ten days, and then
went to another town, on route picked out
by them, to sell these cheap goods which
they probably bought at auction in New
York. Now we must protect our merchants
against these men and ordinances similar to
this have been passed in all large cities. I
think the chief of police is the man who
should look out for this and he probably
would do so, and he could make the pay
ment of the fee big enough to keep these
men out
Councilman Chillingworth-I am not SO
sure that it does not touch commercial drum
mers in this ordinance. 1 have been through
the mill and have had detectives on my track
in the South where commercial men are
heavily taxed as it seems to keep New Eng
land goods out of the South. Now I should
think this might be remedied by the offer Of
an amendment to read as follows:
Nothing herein contained shall refer to CONNER
pies
Councilman Warren-I think these men
who come here and want the city to protect
them should pay something for this protec-
ton.
Councilman HilIer-I don't think it would
be at all bad idea to table this matter until
we can look into it little more, and SO I
moved that it be tabled.
A yea and nay vote was taken on the mo-
ton, which was lost by vote of 10 to 10.
Councilman Chi1lingworth then offered the
amendment in regard to commercial travel
lawyers of the Board thought the State suffi-
GENTLY protected commercial men.
Councilman Palmer then moved to concur
with the Board of Aldermen in the matter,
which was done.
The report of the Board of Public Works
concerning the completion of sewers and
pavements was read and the Board concurred
with the Aldermen in the matter. The report
is as follows:
$s5,s44ao WV ''- wv '' ~
Sewer in Grand avenue, from Atwater street to
QuInnipiac river, Sc, 31751.
Sewer IN Palmer street S765.5a.
Sewer in Broad street. from Palmer street to
Telford pavement on Whitney avenue, from Sa-
chem street to city line, $50, $500.
The matter of the Gamer street sewer
came up next, and the Aldermen having
assessment from the order creating an outlet
for Gamer street sewer, quite debate was
evoked. The order provides for a Temporal
ry outlet into Mill river until the Mechanic
street sewer is extended, when the sewer
will enter the latter and discharge into the
East street sewer
On motion of Councilman Palmer the mat
ter was tabled.
After a few more petitions had been
brought up Councilman Hitler moved
that the motion to table the mat.
ter of the Gamer street sewer be
reconsidered, which was done, and the mat
ter reopened for debate, but Councilman
Bailey moved that the Board concur with the
Aldermen, which was seconded, and it was
voted to concur in having the temporary
outlet.
The following proposed order was offered
by Councilman Hitler and came up during
the evening. The order reads:
room be forthwith established in this city.
Ordered That the following bylaws be and here
