 Streets and Nominatlons-No Quorum st
 Board of Health.
 The session of the committee on streets last evening was more than usu- ally interesting and largely attended. All the members of the committee were prsent except Councilman Burke and Chairman Blakeslee presided. Among a number of well known citizens pres ent were Mayor Sargent. Captain Wrinn, w. J. Atwater. NJ. E. Chatdeld. Irving Fisher. Selectman Robert E. Baldwin, Colonel John G. Healy Coun- cilman E. F. Durant and W. H. II. Hewitt.
 After an unusually lengthy hearing In executive session the committee vot- ed to recommend the construction of a new street from Whitney avenue to Prospect street, and instrsucted Cor poration Counsel Driscoll to appear be- fore the next session of the general as- sembly with q view to secure the pur- chase of landa in that vicinity belong ing to the state. The petition of Frank Meskill ct al. for extension of North Bank street to Anderson street was granted and the board of public works ordered to grade and curb Anderson street.
 A concrete walk was also recommend ed for Willow street, north side, be- tween Orange street and Whitney ave- nue. and on Irving street, south side, between Ellsworth avenue and orton street, and cobble gutters on the south side of Division street, between Or chard street and sherman avenue.
 Leave to withdraw was given to peti- tioners for hardening of Cain street and to the remonstrants against sheet asphalt pavement in George street be- tween sherman avenue and Orchard street.
 The most important action taken by the committee was the recommending, in spite of Mayor Sargent's veto, that Edgewood avenue be graded and curb ed from Mott street to the city line The mayor vetoed this matter on the ground that the bulk of the land was owned by the park commission and that that body had no money to spend for such improvements. The question was once before recommended by the the committee on streets, vetoed by the mayor and recommitted to the commit tee on streets.
 Only Mayor Sargent and Commission CT Blake put in an appearance at the special meeting of the board of health, which had been called for last night to consider the new complaints received during August against Garbage Con- tractor Swayne. During the month about fifty complaints have been re- ceived by the board of health. Clerk ,kailry and Contractor Swayne were al- so present and the quartet spent about an hour waiting for other members of the board to show up. As none put in an appearance all went to their re- spective homes without transacting any business.
 The committee on railroads and bridges failed to secure a quorum last night and consequently no business was transacted. The committeee was to have considered the question of the construction of bridge over West river at Edgewood avenue and the removal of the central truss of the Olive street bridge over the Consolidated railroad tracks.
 The committee on nominations met in executive session with Alderman Leary presiding The appointment of Mich olas Garrity as special constable was revoked, but the committee declined to give ny reason for the revocation.
