A LENGTHY MEETING.

The Board of Aldermen Becomes.Tan- Eled Up Several Timss-A Defeat For Colonel Bohan-Three Times the Board Refuses Unanimously to Sus- tain Superintendent BOllman-The Derby Road Again-General Busi- ] ness.
 The board of aldermen had long meeting ast evening in which matters became sadly mixed several times and gave the mayor no little trouble in trying to sfraighten out the and special motions offered. Three times did the board unanimously re- fuse to sustain Superintendent Bollman. The 6rst case came up in the shape of an appeal from the New Haven Athletic company ask. ing for license to give sparring exhibition at the Polo rink The superintendent of po- lice had refused license. On motion of Alderman Bushnell the board voted unani- mously to grant license for the proposed exhibition.
 Tn superintendent had refused John Dons- gan a license to drive 8 hack. Mayor Peck thought he should have one and was willing to vouch for his competency. The board voted unanimously to grant the license. This was done on the strength of an opinion from acting Corporation Counsel Watrous that there was no law preventing minor from having such a licsnse This opinion was di- rectly contrary to that of Chief Bollman.
 Again the board unanimsusly overrode the action of the superintendent when the report of the committee on licenses came up deny- ing the appeal of Thomas J. Dunlap from the decision of the superintendent in refusing him license to carry on the business of ex- pressman. Alderman Sheridan explained the action of the committee and thought the opinion of the corporation counsel of more weight than that of Superintendent Bollman. The board said that MT. Dunlap shall have license.
 The already much talked about question- who shall be janitor of City Hall next year?- took large share of the boards attention. The Democrats filibustered little, and after a motion to table the resolution passed by the council appointing joint committee to decide the matter had been put to yea and nay vote and declared by the mayor to be lost, the mayor casting the deciding vote, Alderman Kent knocked it out temporarily by objecting to it as new business and insist- ing that it take the usual course of reference to a committee. Alderman Callahan offered a substitute calling for the appointment of a committee, the complexion of which is Dem- ooratic. This and the original resolution was referred to a special committee of three alder-
 
 lively by the mayor and the president of the council. The mayor named Aldermen Clerk in, Gessner and Bushnell. The reference to this committee was generally considered last evening as a defeat for Colonel Bohan, the present janitor.
 When the resolution forhidding the Derby road to run it's locomotives longer across Meadow street and through Custom House Square came up Alderman Bushnell read g 11%& 1E stating that the plans for it's new roundhouse were completed, that the house would be ready in two months, aad asking the indul- gence of the city for that time. The alder. man intimated that the resolution was ar attempt on the part of the Consolidated te injure the Derby.
 Alderman Kleiner hoped that the reselu. ton would pass, as the Derby road had no, carried ont it's contract with the city al though loud in it's boasts; The motion te lay the resolution on the table for two voting against it.
 At the request of Alderman Callahan long petition endorsing Col. Bohan, ani asking for his retention as janitor of the city hall and signed by long list of present ani past city and town officials was read. At thu conclusion of the reading Alderman Bushnell moved that the petition be engrossed ant that photographs of the present janitor ant his friend from the eleventh be hung with i on the walls of the aldermanie chamber. The board passed the resolution providing for an ordinauce that no private catch basin or cesspool shall be constructed or placed within the limits of any street in the city O New Haven.
