Mr.. Mason stated that Ill burials took
place during the year and that $796, which
was to be expended in keeping up the curb
| ing of the sidewalks as far as it would go,
had been realized on the sale of lots.
In reply to the chairman, Mr.. Mason stated
| that there were very few lots in the market
now, but there were some half lots. The old
officers were elected for the ensuing year.
The subject of reappointing Waterman
| for the ground having come up, Mr.. Mason
stated that they did not quite like the watch
ing of Mr.. George B. Miller, who had been
in their service for some time. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Miller was in the habit of sitting in
chair, reading the newspapers and falling
asleep while on duty.
Mr.. Miller-I do not deny it, but would
like to say that no fault was ever found with
me. may say that 1 served one year for
nothing, and if the association feels disposed
to give me anything for it I shall feel thank
full. should have perhaps brought it under
the notice of the association before now, but
I was in hopes of getting the money. l
think have always worked in the interest
of the association and tried to do what was
right
Several members stated that it would be
preferable to get the city to supply a watch
man. The owners Of the burying ground
had claim upon the city, as they, the city,
for number of years appointed one of the
committee.
On the motion of Mr.. Sanford, seconded
by Mr.. Peck, it was agreed that Mr.. Mason
should 90 to the City Hall and get them to
send one. It was ultimately resolved that,
in the event of the city not providing one, a
watchman should be employed on the same
terms as last year. It was RENTED to COM
mittee to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of making
another gateway for the convenience of peo-
pie living on the Prospect street side of the
cemetery. This being all the business the
meeting adjourned.

MIR. NOTIONS sTATEmENT

AS to the Reasons why He Cancelled a
Lease and the Circumstances Which
Led Him to Embark In Business ON
His Own Hook.
In another part of to-days issue Mr.. Nor
ton, the enterprising proprietor of the new
clothing store on Chapel street at the prem
Uses formerly Bunnell & Scranton's, gives in
full detail his side of the case in reference to
leasing the Oak Hall store on Church street
where he formerly was and why he aban-
dened the lease he had taken of said store.
Mr.. Norton sets forth in lucid statement
that he did all in perfect good faith and
without a shadow of dishonor. He sets forth
that after labering sssiduously, faithfully and
zealously for his former employers for 10
years he found that they were abandoning
their small stores in New England and es-
tablishing large ones in other places and
that there was every prospect that the New
Haven store would be given up as had been
a store of theirs in Portland, Me-, and one in
Worcester, Mass. Fearing to be left out in
the cold and declining an offer from the firm
to go West in their employ and not being
satisfied with the salary paid, he decided to
quit and start for himself in New Haven.
As to hiring the store on Church street while
in the employ of Rarnaby, he denies it in
toto and says that in all honor and good
faith he was authorized to lease the place,
his resignation having been sent in long
before and taking effect December
31st, while he hired the store
January I'd. Now as to his
abandonment of the lease. MIR. Norton
tersely states the case. He shows in short
that his waving his claim was due to the
prospect of an endless litigation as to the
store, and concluded that while life was still
worth living life in perpetual lawsuit broil
was not to be hankered after. He did not
wish, moreover, to subject his personal
friend, Mr.. Massena Clark, who had kindly
leased him the store, to the annoyance of so
much litigation as was impending. Hence
Mr.. Norton cancelled the lease which enables
Barnaby & Co. to regain possession of and
hold the store until March 18th next, which
is about the time the laws delay would post
pone the case. Mr.. Norton thus presents his
case to. an impartial public, which has stoodby
him and given him a notably liberal patron
age, and reports himself more than grateful
with the generous support the new firm Nor
ton & Son are receiving at their new place,
732 and 734 Chapel street, near the iron
hridCa

THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

ALarge Number OF Petitions Disposed
Of-New Bids for West River Bridge
WOrk-Canner and Mechanic street.
Extensions
The board of public works last night dis
posed of large number of petitions. Com
missioners Sullivan and Whitney were ap-
pointed specisl committee to look up the
proposed extension Of Gamer and Mechanic
streets and to report at the next meeting, the
prospect being that the work win be done at
an early date.
The question of the work at West river
bridge was discussed at some length. City
Engineer Hill has looked up to some extent
the work to be done, and the, bids offered
are too high. Messrs. R. Red6eld G Sons
offer to do the work for 81 800, providing the
city do the work of bulkheading at the old
platform of the bridge. Bids were received
from other contractors to do the work, there
being some changes made in the specihea-
lions. It was voted, however, that the city
engineer make new specifications and adver-
tise for bids to do the same, bids to be opened
on Wednesday next.
There has been some dissatisfaction In
the manner in which the plumbers leave
the streets after making sewer connections.
Messrs. Reilly and Whitney were appointed
q committee to investigate and devise some
plan to stop such work.
Corporation Counsel Driscon gave his
opinion that Patrick Bowling had no legal
claim on the city for extra work done on
the Edwards street extension, but as extra
work had actually been done by Mr.. Dowls
ing, it was voted to pay him $500 for such
work.
Franklin street is next in order TO be har-
dened and the property owners are notified

fore June 10Th.

one Of The COMMITTEES on supplies, rendered

A temperance meeting was held last even
ing in the Prohibition hall. There was q
good attendance. Mr.. Sylvanus Butler, who
was the first speaker, pointed out that each
person present had a personal responsibility
inthe matter of suppressing the evil of the
drink traffic as the business, like boomer
ang, was apt to return and strike those who
tried to profit by it. The cost of making,
keeping and burying drunkard was esti-
mated at $4,000.
Every saloon was mandatory where at
least two drunkards were made. It would
not do to stand still and say that nothing
could be done. Mr.. F. G. Bradley of North
Haven, the next speaker, said that Chicago
was mentioned as one of the places that had
benefited by a high license. He also gave
the names of several towns throughout the
country that had benefited by prohibition.
The Rev. L. 81. Squires afterwards addressed
the meeting.
