 The board of councilmen at last nights of the board of aldermen In reference to the petitions of the Fair Haven and Vest vile and the New Haven and West Haven Horse Railroad companies, both of which petitions were unanimously passed by the latter body last week, and in consequence the extensions of both roads will be obliged to Chang fire'' for the present. Councilman Parsons objected to the grant ing of unanimous consent to the passage of the petition of the Fair Haven and Westville Horse Railroad company for permission to extend it's tracks through Norton street and Derby ave- nue to the Yale field. The councilman said: 'I will have to object to the passage of this petition. In conversation with President Ives of the road this afternoon he said it was the in- tention of the road to pave with a top dressing of crushed stone and it is for this reason that object. Many people of that section of the city have come to me to pro- test against such paving by the road. l shall therefore move as an amendment that the company be required to pave with Bel Rian blocks inside and for two feet outside the rails'' The amendment was seconded and the petition as amended passed, unanimous consent being granted.
 When the petition of the New Haven and West Haven Horse Railroad company for permission to extend their tracks from Kimberly avenue to City Point, came up Smith objected to it's passage, stating that the residents of Howard avenue desired that the street be macadamised on both sides of the track instead of using the two rows of Belgian blocks, as stated in the petition.
