COUNCILMEN CONCUR.

The Majority Report of the Commit-
 tee on Railroads and Bridges Ap.
 proved by the COuncilmen-But One a Councilman Opposes the Action
 Taken by the Aldermen-The Sev-
 era1 Street Railroads Given PermIs-
 sion to Extend Their Respective
 Ltnes-Other Business.
 The councilmen last evening after a lengthy session concurred with the action taken by the board of aldermen at the meeting last Friday evening in reference to the petitions of the various street rail- ways of the city for permission to extend their various lines. But one member of the body-Couneilman Bishop-voted in favor of the minority report. For short time it seemed probable that there might be contest, but as the councilman from the Seventh was the only one opposed to the majority report the latter was passed just as it had come from the board of al- dermen.
 After the report had been read Council man Bishop moved to amend the report by inserting therein clause to the effect that the mayor and common council should re- tain the right 8 designate the kind and quality of pavement to be used between the tracks in place of the section in the majority report delegating this power to the board of public works.
 Councilman North stated that should this motion prevail it would make a great deal of delay with no benefit arising there from. In support of his position he quoted the charter section 40 to the effect that no public work shall be commenced by the board of public works without the sane tion of the court of common council.
 Councilman Reif of the Fifthward stated that the subject had been argued ably be. 1 fore the board of aldermen, and the fact ! that that body had passed 1t should be suf- l 6cient reason for ths councilmen to vote \ accordingly. He also was of the opinion that great deal of time would be spent in thus delaying valuable improvements.
 The vote on Councilman Bishops amend l ment, which was then taken, showed that the Seventh ward councilman was the only member not convinced by the arguments 1 in favor of the majority report. The amendment was defeated, 24 to 1, after | which the board concurred with the board l of aldermen by the same vote in adopting ! the majority reports of the committee or railroads and bridges on the petitions o1 the Fair Haven and Westville, New Haver and West Haven, Winchester Avenue, aDe State Street Railroad companies as amend ed by the board of aldermen.
 A petition from the Central Labor unior to adopt the minority report of the com mittee on railroads and bridges was read It asked for three cent fares and tranefer from one car line to another without extr
 charge. It was referred to the committe
 on railroads and bridges.
 The petition of the Standard Oil com psny to erect an oil house near Myrtl
 street near Mill river was referred to tn
 committee on licenses. This petition wa granted by the board of aldermen, as
 looked harmless enough. Several resident
 in that section made determined opposi
 tion, and as result last evening remon

Want Third Street Extended.

Those who are advocating the extension of Third street on City Point to the junc- tion of Kimberly avenue and the boulevard have some pretty strong arguments. The most potent is that if one wishes to go from Greenwich avenue to Kimberly ave nue he muat drive several blocks, as Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets all end on Greenwich avenue. This would be unnecessary if Third street was extended. It would also open up new building lots and improve the section.
