WILLOW STREET EXTENSION

Across Nill River Meadows Recom-
 mended by the Committee on Streets
 -0pposftton to the Location of the
 Urinal on the Green.
 One of the items of interest to call the attention of the committee on streets last evening was an objection, coming from MT. Charles E. Graves, president of the board of education, and MT. J. M. B. Dwight, against the location of the public urinal on the green. It was recommended some weeks ago by the committee that the urinal which now stands on Chapel street, opposite the Insurance building, be moved into the green somewhere and appropriate ly enclosed with shrubbery, etc. When it came before the aldermen the matter was recommitted on account of objection which arose on the part of the Trinity church people.
 MT. Graves said the city could afford to buy land somewhere in the central DOT tion of the city for this purpose, however expensive it might be, rather than pollute the green, around which so much senti- ment is entwined, with such an object. He quoted the experience Hartford people had had with their park, as proving that we would not want to try the same thing here. Let it stay where it is, he said, un- til the city is ready to make better and larger provisions.
 One of the members of the committee asked him what he thought of the sugges- tion which had been made to place it lit tie in the rear of the Center church.
 MT. Graves. replied it might be less mo- ticable than the place originally recom- mended, but would have tho other some objections.
 MT. Dwight's objection was that the building, if placed on the green, would be temptation to students on jolly night to turn it over.
 Alderman Keane suggested if it couldn't be hid away under the surface in vault with steps leading down frem the walks. The engineer was asked his opinion and thought it was practicable. He was asked to consider the matter and see what the expense would be.
 The committee recommended that the board of public works make survey and layout for the extension of Willow street to Blatchley avenue, acress the meadows and Mill river to Cedar Hill avenue. The the cost to be about $25, ,O00. He estimated land damages at about S, 900, construction of bridge at $12, 600 and the cost of grad ing not more than SIG, 900. 5s7
 They gave leave to withdraw the peti- tion of the park commission for discon- tinuance of the roadway through West river park south of Edgewood avenue. And leave to withdraw also to petitioners for sidewalks on Ashmun street, between Lock and Grove streets.
 The next meeting will be next Thursday night, when the committee will consider tho mnddle over the extension of Dewitt

a job now than some other time. 1t
costs no more to do it in six days
than in six months. 1t generally
costs less. 1t costs the town moth
jag, as we have said, but the making
of an order, to lay pavement. If
the lot-holder must make pavement
it is better for him to have it at
once than to have his property block
AIDED with debris for an indefinite
time. Therefore 1T resolves itself
simply into question of how many
men it will require to finish the paw
ing which the Council has ordered,
within the present year, before
winter sets in. We assume that all
the force necessary can be obtained
to do it. And the Council ought to
employ the force and do it. Do it
and be done with it. There is neither
business or good sense in tearing up
the town and leaving it so.
We therefore commend to Council
the propriety of putting all the
force on the work in progress, and
that contemplated, necessary to
finish it and leave clean and com
plete record when their term expires.
We are sure this course will be more
commendable to their own judgment
and that of the public 1t will be a
feather in their cap if every pave
ment and drain and other work be-
gun is complete and perfect job
when they lay down the scepter.
