ure Recorded.

In the Chancery Court clerks Office yester-
day deed was recorded from Ware b: Gay
and wife, OF Boston, Mass, TO The Mayo
Bridge and Land Company.
The deed conveys the formers rignt'
title and interest in Mayo's bridge
and island for which 1t Is agreed
by the bridge company to pay TO the
special commissioner of the Chancery Court
the sum now due by Mr.. Gay as purchase
money. he having bought his interest 10 tne
bridge during the suit of Richards and vile
against Mayo and others.
AS soon as this deed was recorded another
was placed on record.
This latter deed is an agreement between
the Mayo Bridge and Land Company and the
Manchester Railway and improvement Com
pany, and leases the bridge 10 the latter COM
pany. -, IL III.
The railroad company will use the bridge
TO connect the two cities by railway (elec-
tric or otherwise) and will pay the orldge
company three-fourths OF cent on eacn pas
time shall the amount paid be less tnan sZ'oVO
per annum.
The bridge company in the deed is repre-
sented 10y the signature of Ware IS. cay
president, and G. II. Gay, secretary, and tne
railway company is represented by G. T..
Fisher, president.
Before either of the above deeds were re-
Court compromising the suit known as Ware
b. Gay against George Il. Fisher and others;
Some time ago Mr.. Gay, who then owned
the bridge, and Mr.. Fisher, representing
street railway interests. made an agreement
that the latter should lay car track on the
bridge and pay Mr.. Gay certain revenue;
This contract CAS- alleged in the bill fled
was not carried out. and the first act of the
suit was an injunction against Mr.; Fisher.
Yesterday this suit was compromised and the
deeds recorded.
In other words, Mr.. Gay who owned the
bridge az an individual sells out TO company.
This company was formed short time ago,
q charter having been granted by Judge ,.
b. Witt, and Mr.. Gay still retains interest IN
the bridge, inasmuch as he has large IN
terest in the company.
The latter by their deed yesterday leases
the bridge to Mr.. Fisher, and he will put a
car track down and thus make three street car
lines running from and to Richmond.
This line will connect, it is probable. with
the Marshall-street line, but inquiry last night
could not determine what Mr.. Fishers plans

Not Satisfied With II Proposed City
Ordinances,

Ordinance.
The board of aldermen held an ad-
journed meeting last evening.
At the last meeting of the councilmen
an appropriation of $4,000 was made
for the purchase of the Grand street
cemetery. The board last night voted
to table the matter until the next meet
ing in order that the absent members
might have an opportunity to discuss
the matter.
The petitions of d. L. Durand, for the
abatement of taxes, and j. E. Lawrence
and others, for the widening of East
Main street, were referred to the proper
committees.
The Novelty company presented pc
tition asking that they be assessed for
$4,000 instead of $4,000. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on attachments.
The new ordinance relating to the
licensing of hackmen and eXpressmen
was read. Ralph n. Blakeslee appeared
before the board and made a strong OBJ
lection to having the truckmen licensed.
Attorney Pierce appeared in the interest
of the local hackmen and made an ar
gument against section o, which regu-
lates the rates of fare. Mr. Pierce said
that 1t was an injustice to the hackmen.
He thought that it would be fair to fix
matters as they do in other cities, giving
the hackmen the privilege of charging
so cents for carrying any one within the
city limits. The clerk was instructed to
re-write the ordinance SO as to conform
with the views expressed by Mr. Pierce
and Mr. Blakeslee.
The sewer board recommended the eX-
tension of the sewer in Baldwin street,

THE CONSOLIDATED ROAD WINS.
The Supreme Court Decides the Famous
Case.

The supreme Court DecltteS the FAMOUS
Case.
The judges of the supreme court at
Bridgeport yesterday decided the famous
tax case in favor of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad. 1t has
been in litigation for years, and Il large
amount of taxes would have been due
the state had the case gone against the
company. The law taxing railroads
levied the tax upon the value of the
stocks and bonds of the company, but
permitted deducting from that valuation
the amount of cash ON hand. The Con-
solidated road for a series of years, 1880
to 1885, included cash items, supplies on
hand, etc, as a part of its cash for de-
duction from its tax list, and the differ
ence made large sum in its favor. A
strong point raised by the company was
that the taxes claimed had never been
assessed, and that there can be no taxa
ton without assessment. The state
board of equalization had accepted the
returns, passed upon them and approved
them, and the tax had been levied &C
cording to them. The company. under
the law, had no remedy, but must sub
NIT to whatever the board of equaliza-
ton decided upon, and it's counsel held
that the state should be similarly bound.
No charge of fraudulent accounting was
made, but the questions We're whether
the method was proper and the differ
ence recoverable. The court sustains
the company.
