BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

The Mayor Appoints the Committees Alderman Moran Appointed on the | Lamp Communication Widening Grand Avenue at State Street-The Road Roller is Bought for $3,5 With Interest-ResOlutiO for she Late Ex-Mayor Lewis Adopted.
 The board of aldermen met last night and Mayor Sargent had matters all his own way. There have been rumor to the ef- feet that the mayor wouldn't appoint any committees last night, and that Mayor sar- gent had said that he would wait until the rules were passed before he reported them. At the last meeting of the old board of al- derman, Alderman Kelley moved that a special committee be appointed to revise the joint rules with view to depriving the mayor of the power of appointing commit tees. But the lower house did not concur with the aldermanic resolution and conse- quently when the mayors ''fdus Achates" Alderman Callahan moved that the joint rules of the past house be adopted there was not dissenting voice. However, AL derman McKiernan was dropped from the lamp committee and ex-Alderman Mo Gann's friend, Alderman Moran, was given place. A communication was received by the mayor from the Housatonic Railroad company with the proposition that all the differences not yet settled in reference to the closing of Hill and Lafayette streets be submitted to arbitration. On motion of Alderman Callahan this was submitted to the corporation counsel for his opinion before taking any action. A petition was introduced by Alderman for fha nidauinO nf Ct Tohp street and Grand avenue at the junction with State. The petition was signed by two hundred taxpayers in the vicinity. Another resolution to the same effect was introduced by Alderman Hitler and signed by several members of the chamber of commerce. The petitions were refer. red tothe committee on streets. The matter of the road roller is now al last settled. The board of councilmer and the board of aldermen have resolved to buy the road roller for $3, 500, with in terest from last May, when it was brought here. It only awaits the the mayors ap | proval, which will probably be given. Alderman Connor introduced an order | that gates be placed where the Shore Line Railroad crosses Fillmore, Poplar anG l Blatcheley avenue and asked unanimoul consent for it's adoption. Alderman Hillel objected and the order was referred to committee. However, Alderman Primo, labored with the objector and got him t, consent to the adoption of the bill. Alder | man Hitler stated that he believed in re ferring matters of this kind to commit 1 tee but to expedite matters he withdrew his objections
