THE MONEY QUESTION.

The National Banking and Currency
 System-A New Paper by President
 ButIer-To be Read at Chicago.
 President George A. Butler of the Ma tional Tradesmen's bank has been invited by the National Bankers association, and accepted the invitation, to read before the association new paper which he has just written on financial and banking subject. He has not fully developed title for the paper, but 1t will be something like this: "A Practical Plan of Business Currency; an Amendment of the National Banking Act to supply the Country with Currency rather than the Repeal of the 10 per cent. Tax on State Bank Circulation"
 The new paper embodies the fruits of MT. Buffers thinking on the subject-is a digest and epitome of previous papers he has written on the subject and read be- with the elaboration of new suggestions and conclusions, the whole making paper surpassing in interest and strength any of his previous contributions on the subject. The association's meeting will be held in Chicago early in September. MT. Buffers papers read before the association in 1878 and 1880, and which were published in pamphlet form in 1883, have had a wide reading. These papers were widely com msnted upon by leading newspapers and periodicals The Chicago Times endorsed them as presenting the best plan for so- lution of the currency problem that had yet been brought out or offered to the country. -.S

POSTPONED FOR TWO WEEKS

Action on the Fair Haven and Vest
 vtlie Road's Application to Extend
 its Tracks in WestvilIe Again Be-
 ferred at the Request of William
 Nicely Representing the Edgewood
 Avenue Road-Othef Business.
 The board of selectmen last evening 1 again deferred action on the application of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company for permission to extend its lines in Westville through Fountain and Orange streets. This action was decided upon in executive session, when 1t was deemed best to postpone action on the matter for two weeks in order to-give the representatives of the proposed Edgewood avenue road an opportunity to present the plans and specifications of the layout of that road.
 At the open session of the board William Neely, representing the Edgewood avenue railroad men, appeared and asked that the board defer action on the petition of the Fair Haven and Westville road until such time as the Edgewood avenue people should have an opportunity to present the plans and specifications of that road. He stated that the road was reality, and, having obtained charter from the general assem-
 bly at it's last session, would be operated.
 He also said that the company would pre-
 gent it's plans and specifications within
 few weeks, az there was at the present time
 an expert surveyor making layout of the
 proposed new road.
 The board also voted not to call special town meeting as requested by twenty five residents of the town at the present time. At the last meeting of the selectmen petition was presented signed by about twenty-five taxpayers of the town, requesting that a special town meet | ing be called as early as practical in order | to ratify the contract made by the select men on October 3l, 1890, with the park l commission relative to the purchase and 1 drainage of the Beaver Pond district, to define the limits of the tract to be &C., l quired and the appropriation of a sum not exceeding $12,000 with which to pur- chase said acquisition. Owing to the late 1t advisable to call a special town meeting,
 but to incorporate the subject matter of the petition in the calr for the next reg ular town meeting.
 The petitioners for improvements in Fulton street were given leave to with draw, as in the opinion of the members of the board 1t was not necessary to expend | the amount necessary to make the i'm provements.
 The committee on railroads and bridges ! of the board were instructed to report 8, | the next meeting of the board in reference to the condition of the tracks of the vari- | ous street railway companies in the town ! limits and also to devise some means
 whereby the companies could be made to
 keep their tracks in proper repair and ! paved between and outside the tracks.
 The committee reported that they had
 visited the Improvements on theShoreLine
 railroad on Quinnipiac streets where com l plaint had been made that the company
 was constructing the abutments of bridge l forty feet in width when the roadway wal | fifty feet wide and that the railroad com
 psny was complying with the suggestion l of the board.
