RAILROAD COM-

and submitted the following words
 inserted after the line reading Con due .rice to the party claiming such damages"
 "And will pay to such persons such dam actually done to such persons, said company waiving all defense of legal liabilities when there have been actual damages"
 The attorney for the Derby road didn't think the words necessary and declined to make the insertion requested. MT. Baldwin then read another paper wherein the Derby road agreed to the city's maintenance of the sewers that extend through the three streets to be closed. He further explained to the commissioners that the company had consented to the foot bridge over Liberty street, thereby conform ing with the recent decision of the city's com- naittee in the matter of closing these three routes and providing for @ foot bridge for Liberty street. Ex-Judge Sheldon, from the Chamber of Commerce, read the resolutions adopted by that organization favoring the petition of the Derby road for plenty of ter minal room in New Haven.
 George L. Ives, who resides at Minor and Liberty streets, was first called. He said that "a road bridge would virtually rise up and ruin me-" H. B. Judd of Liberty street was opposed to road bridge, and like Mir. Ives did not particularly favor 8 bridge. E. s. Davis of Liberty street said foot bridge would be 6 nuisance there in his opinion. John H. Hawkins, civil engineer, who has made soundings in the neighborhood of Lib erty street crossing, gave testimony that would indicate that the company cannot lower it's tracks there ss has been proposed by those who think it is practicable if the road bed was lower than at present. Civil Engineer Bolles of the Derby railroad was here called and stated that the company would have no room to spare between Com merce and Cedar streets, but would need it all the more to carry out the improvements a%al Ha hat # he wanted to build high structure at Liberty street a bridge would interfere with it. Engineer Ferry of City Engineer Hills staff, and who is @ resident near the Liberty street crossing, remarked that the soil might be perhaps defective as a foundation for big building. Ex-Mayor Lewis spoke for the Derby road petitioners and predicted great future for that neighberhood. Engineer Ferry has prepared 6 plan for @ road bridge as Lib erty street. This was submitted to the com missioners Councilman Manning of the Fourth and James Whately, the latter hay ing some $15, 900 invested in property over in that section of the city, spoke for the road bridge. There was some further uninter- esting discussion and the hearing closed after Commissioner Hayward announced that the decision on the question of the jurisdiction of the railroad commissioners raised by the city was not yet forthcoming. Commissioner Woodruff had taken the memorandum of the 6uLu0E1blG5 Clto0 Oy 6uC anu buC and his two colleagues were left without any. He suggested that it would be good thing for the city and the company to try to settle the matter of closing the streets between them, but MT. Baldwin said that such course would occasion too much delay. Com missioner Hayward then stated that his col league and himself were willing to take the responsibilities of deciding the matter if they should find that they had Jurisdiction. NIT.
