Bridge Again Discussed.

Width of Bank Street at the Brooklyn
Bridge Again Discussed.
The first business before the road
board last evening was the hearing on
the proposed new layout of Bank street,
at the New England railroad crossing.
Widening the street is proposed, max
ing it forty-eight feet.
The railroad represented by Director
D. S. Plume and Chief Engineer l.. b.
Bidwell, laid claim to land damages as
the new layout takes few feet off the
railroad land and necessitates a longer
span for the railroad bridge.
Thomas Kelly said that the sidewalks
should be sufficiently wide to accommo-
date the large pedestrian travel.
A hearing was given on the layout of
Seymour street from South Wilson to
Clark street. The residents favored a
forty feet layout and a ten feet building
line. All the property owners on Ed
ward street favored the new layout.
1t was voted to recommend to the
common council to widen French street
to twenty-eight feet.
1t was voted to call for bids September
16 for paving Grand street from Bank
to South Main. The board then ad-
iourned.
In the sewer board City Engineer
Cairns was given permission to purchase
an instrument for the purpose of meas

He was true to his word, and week

About five weeks later Mrs Delaro,
Arnida and Percy returned to London
to meet the American detectives, who
had arrived with the extradition papers.
1t required but short space Of time to
perfect the arrangements for Velasquez's
removal to California soil, where the
law required that he should take his
trial for the crime OF murder. Every
body concerned was anxious to start rs
soon as possible, and 1t was arranged
that the prisoner should be taken by
the same steamer as the others, and no
one made any demur to this except
Armida. When she heard the decision
