ing of streets. It was 8 result of another | wrangle in the board of public works and | still another in the board of finance. At the last meeting of the board of public I works it asked the board of finance to transfer, among other sums, $1 500 from the stone crusher account for the harden ing of George street. The board of finance made the $1,500, but stipulated that it should be used for the hardening of Dag gett street. This action came up for the sanction of the councilmen last night.
 Councilman Blakeslee was upon his feet the instant after the report of the board had been read. He objected to the condition which the board of finance had imposed upon the transfer and moved that the board of public works be directed to use this money for the harden ing of George street, between Day and Orchard streets, instead. He said George the city, and needed hardening badly, while Daggett street had but little traffic.
 Councilman Hitler spoke in favor of Councilman Blakeslee's amendment, and Councilman McKiernan spoke in favor of Daggett street.
 Councilman Hogan made an amendment to the amendment, providing that the money be used for the hardening of each street, which was ordered done three years ago.
 Councilman Bromley of the finance board explained that the board had taken the first street on the list of streets order ed, which came in cost within the $1 ,500. This was to comply as nearly as possible to recent order of the. council to harden streets in their order.
 After a long discussion Councilman Nor ris moved the matter be tabled till next meeting for the clerk to supply the board with a list of the streets ordered hardened.
 This motion was carried and vote was taken upon Councilman Blakeslees amend ment. It was lost by vote of IA to 6.
 Councilman Hogan then moved that East street be inserted in place of Daggett aye and nay vote was called for, and the motion was passed by the same vote, IA to 6.
 Councilman LoSeridge then moved that the vote be reconsidered and action post poned till the next meeting. This motion was lost. The recommendation of the board of finance was then adopted as amended T The following was presented by Coun- cilman Bree and passed:
 Whereas In the year 1867 the street now thereon and since then has been used as a public D De paD'' it S''ee' "ppeS'eO 0n 'e'o ne'e'0'e' he is hereby requested to render an opinion as to whether said street is 8 public highway.
 Councilman O'Brien presented resolu tion asking for the appointment of inspec- tors of mason, carpenter and plumbing work. He stated that these inspectors were had in Bridgeport and other large cities. Councilman Blakeslee thought the matter deserved due consideration, but Council man Hitler moved it be indefinitely post poned. This motion was lost, and a mo tion to table the paper till next meeting was passed. Councilman Blakealee then brought up the street hardening question again. He said his constituents had been greatly wronged, and the condition of George street was in a deplorable condition. He offered 8 motion ordering the board of public works to transfer from any unex- pended balances enough money to harden George street from Orchard to Day streets | The motion was passed.

He 1 lives near Mill river and states that the building of the approaches to the new bridge have turned all of the overflow ises, he claims, have been damaged to the extent of $1 ,O00. The petition was re- ferred to the committee on claims.
