BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Plan of New Gates to Be Placed as
 Quinnipiac Bridge.
 The board of public works held Q special meeting last night, and performed its bus- iness in short order. Commissioner Reilly stated that the committee on bridges had held conference with the town committee, the result of which was that City Engineer Hill had been instructed to prepare plan for new gates at Quinnipiac bridge, where young Holden lost his life.
 Mr. Hill submitted his plan. It provides for double gates four feet and three inches high, for the roadway, and gate for the pedestrian way. These gates will at all tender, who Is stationed at the center of the bridge. When he unscrews the latch SO that the bridge will swing, it looks the gates; and when the bridge swings back into place and he screws the latch to make the bridge fast, the gates are unlocked. This thing is a new one, and Is being worked only on . bridge in Providence. The committee on bridges was given full power to make arrangements with the board Of sslectmen for the purpose of caring for and repairing all bridges owned by the city and town jointly. It is quite probable that this whole matter will be left to City Engi- neer Hill. His plan for the gates at Quinni- piac bridge has not yet been adopted Attention was called to the danger at the Chapel street bridge, which is owned by the city. The same aecident might happen there e at the Quinnipiac bridge. City Eoeinee, Hill was instructed to make plan for gates at this bridge.
 Ex-Judge Sheldon appeared and wanted | the city engineer to be requested to make . layout of the extension of Commerce street | to Union avenue.
 City Engineer Hill was instructed to con
 fer with the corporation counsel and find ou, whether any legal obstacles would bs in cured in the extension, and if nos, to make the layout. Commissioner States thought
 it could not be done on account of it's run. ming over the Derby railroad tracks at . grade. tsn.s, se.s s ,.; "a Commissioners States and Whitney were appointed . committee to investigate wheth- q or not the stone for top dressing should b. taken from the foot of East Rock, e rec- commanded by Alderman Kent.
