 The full board of burgesses met last night, Warden Stevens in the chair. After reading of the minutes the matter of a hearing of property holders of Hillside avenue was called. A large number of those interested were present, as was also Engineer Ham to explain the layout. Each property owner present was given an op- portunity to express his views and Trafsr- ences. Nearly all favored walk of some kind. The warden explained that there could be a contract made of the whole job, for good concrete walk to be built under the supervision of an inspector. if neces- sary, with 8 ten year guarantee, for forty three cents square yard. The curb could be laid fof thirty-seven and one-half cents 8 running foot. If no one was opposed they were. if voted, ready to go ahead with the work. The street would be brought to grade and cobble gutters laid at the borough's expense. He also said that Mrs Porter had informed him that it would not be built while she could prevent it; that the property holders were entitled to thirty days to appeal from the boards decision. The hearing being closed the board voted unanimously to build five foot concrete sidewalk on both sides of Hill side avenue from Meadow street to the end of the street by October 15. John M Sweeney notified the board that he should claim damages for the street being cut down in front of his premises, and want the borough to build him a way in. He was told that he could prosecute. that the borough would fix the street, but not his premises. Goodell Lines stated that the engineers made his fence at one end one foot on the highway. If he was obliged to move his fence he also should claim dam ages. The citizens then retired. Permits were granted by the board for ten new buildings to be put up. A petition was presented remonstrating against the alter ation of grade on Church street; referred to engineer to report at next meeting. It was voted that the clerk notify Dr Bull and Thomas Weary to lay sidewalks ordered last fall at once. The warden was. in- structed to make loan of S60, ,000 from the New Haven Savings bank at four per cent per annum.
