A BIG TERRITORY

To be Covered by the Faithful and
 Indom1tabIe Police Omcer-A Long
 Way Out and a Long Way Back-A
 New Police Station for Fair Haven
 Some Day.
 The urgent need of reporting police station in Fair Haven is being realized by the residents of that section. Those who live nearest the Quinnipiac river realize this the most, the necessity there being most clearly shown by the absence of police for the greater part of the day and night. The absence of police for the greater part of the time is difficulty which the police authorities cannot overcome under the ex- isting conditions. The officers who patrol the beats of this section are each allowed twenty-five minutes to go to their beats as well as twenty-five minutes to return from them. The distance being about a mile and half, and as the officer is not SUD- posed to run over the distance, the time is not any too much. The officers are allow ed half an hour at the station. They re- port twice each night and during the win ter months are often allowed three reports. In this way man on each report is an hour and @ half, less ten minutes, off his prescribed beat. This occurs twice and part of the time three times in a night. Thus the officer has hardly time to patrol his beat before it is time for him to start back to report again. The officers in this section have been very faithful as rule and do their work well, but they are kept in a continual hustle in attempting to half way cover their respective beats. Addi- tional policemen have been asked for and within six months there have been four extra policemen put on duty in this section and more are needed.
 The subject of the location of new po- lice station has been discussed, and opin- ions as to the most desirable location vary. The prevailing opinion is that marked change is necessary. An idea that strikes many people favorably is that the present station on Grand avenue be disposed of, it being very poor in it's accommodations. 1t is fact that there are not enough clothes closets, and about 6 dozen of tho closets arc overloaded, as each of them has to be used and shared in partnership by two men, whereas they are not big enough for two uniforms and other equipments. The time Is not far off when this station will have to be enlarged, and energetic citizens of Fair Haven and the whole lower section think that the time has come. They favor the sale of the building at present oceu- pied as station and the erection of . new 'commodious building in the neighborhood of Grand avenue and Bradley street and the erection or purchase of another near Poplar street on Grand avenue. The ter ritory of the Grand avenue station is as large, If not larger than that of any two of the other police stations. It has not ss many police officers as the central station, but the population of it's territory is just as large and the value of the property just as great as that in the territory of the cen tral station.
 All of the above questions have been discussed by men in this district, and it is possible and quite probable that in less than year police station will be asked for.

One of the novel features was @ pile driver scene, wherein a regular pile driver and its accompanying engine are the attractions. Annie Lewis, as the leading lady, was very clever. Helen Weathersby, one of the celebrated Westhersby sisters, was excel lent. Among others of the cast that were more than usually satisfactory were Mrs. Eberle, Mrs. Fanny Denham Rouse, Henry Herman, MT. E. A. Eberle, MT. Earl Brown, and MT. R. F. Sullivan.

1oARD OF FINANCE.

An Open Session ReId-Estimates of the Board of Health, Harbor Conn missioners and Board of Public Works COnsidered-NO Final A Actio n Taken.
 Four members of the board of finance,
 Messrs. Hitler, McDonald, Blakeslee, Brom-
 ley and Mayor Sargent, were present at
 the meeting last evening when the esti- public works and harbor commissioners were considered.
 Dr. Winchell and George M. Grant ap- peared before the board in reference to the estimates for the use of the board of health for the coming year. Dr. Winchell stated that for the next six months the business of the board would necessitate an increase over last year, as there would be much more business for the department than during the past six months. He stated that in consequence of the smallness of the appropriation during the past year, both Westville and the annex had been sliehted, and that both these sec- tions should be thoroughly inspected and put in sanitary condition as if an epi- dsnaic of smallpox or any other disease
 should break out in either of these sections it would materially affect the health of the entire oity. Especially at this time more money was needed in order to be able to successfully cope with the smallpox should it become epidemic. George M. Grant cor roborated all that Dr. Winchell had said and further stated that the increase in the appropriation for printing asked for was to cover the costs of blanks, etc in refer ence to smallpox, which were being sent out by the board of health.
 In behalf of the harbor commissioners President Thomas R. Trowbridge asked for follows: Salary of clerk $100; harbor lines,
 $500; removal of Instructions, $700; con-
 tingent fund, $500. He then, at length,
 explained the needs of the commission for
 SO much money. He stated that Milton J.
 Stewart had encroached on Mill river, and
 was filling in @ large space on which he
 intended to build some cheap buildings.
 Stewart had been notified to desist and had
 been threatened with prosecution, but un-
 fortunately the state of the treasury of the
 commission was such that the board had
 no money with which to prosecute. He
 also called attention to the fact that piles
 were being driven out of line in the harbor, and that the wreck in the harbor in the
 channel near Canal dock should be re-
 moved at once, but owing to the lack of
 money the commissioners were unable to
 remove it. These remarks were corrobor-
 ated by Captain O. H. Townshend and Our
 tis Evarts.
 Four members of the board of public
 works, Commissioners Maley, Atwater, States and Brown, were present to explain
 why that department needed $500, ,000.
 Each of them spoke in turn and at some L..
 and sufficient reasons why the estimates
 of their department should not be cut down.
 The meeting of the board of 6nance was
 public, but no final action on the estimates of any of the departments was taken. Another meeting of the board will be held in the near future, when decisive action will be taken on the estimates of all the city departments.
