STREETS TO BE IMPROVED
RECOMMENDATION MADE BY THE
 COMMITTEE ON STREETS.

Park Commissions Suggestions For the
 Filling in of Beaver Ponds Rejected No 1 Action Taken on Mayor Hendricks The
 augural Address Relating to Streets | Other Petitions.
 | Seventeen petitions for the improve
 ment of streets in the several sections
 of the city confronted the members of
 the committee on streets last evening. All the members of the committee were present, as were a large number of citizens, all more or less interested in
 the several petitions which were un-
 der consideration.
 The principal interest of the session oentered in the communication of the
 New Haven commission of public parks
 recommending the layout and grading
 of streets west of Crescent street, and
 the use of the material thus obtained
 in filling In Beaver ponds and the DOT tions of the inaugural address of May
 or Hendrick relating to the improve ment of streets and sidewalks.
 Not single member of the park commission was present to support the communication from that body relat- iug the streets west of Crescent street and the filling in of the Beaver ponds, except Councilman Chillingworth, whc is also a member of the committee on streets.
 Judge Edwin c. Dow appeared in op- position to the communication claiming that while he was in favor of opening some new streets he was opposed to the opening the number proposed by the park commission. He said also that if all the proposed streets were opened, in his opinion that real estate in that section would take big jump and the city might be called upon to pay heavy land damages. Town Agent Baldwin expressed like views.
 In executive session the committee voted to give the park commission leave to withdraw its communication in reference to the subject.
 The committee in executive session also considered those portions of the mayors inaugural message relating to the improvements of streets and side walks and tabled the matter pending the opinion of the corporation counsel in reference to the subject.
