 Railroad and Bridge Committee Report.
 The result of the prolonged struggle which has been going on in the court of common council between the street committee, which has opposed the &C., tion of the board of public works in granting the Boston Asphalt company the contract Tor the paving of Orange, Trumbull and West Chapel streets, and those who supported the board, did not occasion any surorise last evening.
 The board of aldermen adhered to it's former action on Alderman Rourke's resolution directing the board of public works to proceed with the work, and passed the resolution over the mayors veto by a vote of 15 to 6.
 The communication of the mayor, which may be found in another column of this paper, is a complete resume of the question, and concludes with his reason for returning the resolution without his approval.
 The board listened to the reading of the message with much attention as if to take in its true significance. It was. however, with no intention to accept the views of his honor, for when the reading was finished and Alderman Rourke offered a motion that the board adhere to it's former action several voices were heard seconding the mo- tion of the Seventh ward member.
 Alderman Rourke explained that he meant no disrespect to the mayor, nor to the opinion of the corporation coun- sel, upon which the mayor had based his veto.
 Alderman Chillingworth supported the motion of Alderman Rourke to ad- here to the former action of the board.
 The question being called, Alderman Nicoll of the First ward asked for the yeas and nays. The count showed that the requisite two-thirds majority had been obtained and that the may or's veto had not been sustained. The vote was as follows:
 Yeas-I. Bromley Murray, Brennan, Lambert, Whitaker, Hoolohan, c. w. Bromley. Rourke, Parish, Forsyth, Stu art, Hull, Chillingworth, Kinney and Toole--15.
 Nays-Nicoll, Guernsey, Hamilton. Rattlesdorfer Kelly and Smith-6.
 Alderman Chillingworth offered the following resolutions:
 Ordered, That his honor the mayor and the corporation counsel be and they are hereby authorized to obtain from the Boston Asphalt company such an amendment statement as addenda of or to the contracts between said company and the city of New Haven as will enable the city of New Haven to assess and collect from the street railway companies and from abutting property owners on Orange, Trumbull and West Chapel street for permanent pavements to be laid under said con tracts in accordance with the act of 1895, authorizing the city of New Haven to issue permanent paving bonds.
 The member of the Tenth said that his resolution made it possible to dis solve the terms of the existing contract had seemde to make indevisable, viz, the cost of maintenance and the cost of putting the work down. His reso- lution was based upon citation made by the corporation counsel to the court of common council By his motion MT. Chillingworth claimed that the whole problem would be solved and that there would be no delay. The order prevailed by unanimous vote.
 The street committee reported in fa- vor of awarding the contract for paving Wooster street to J. E. Miles & Go. of Jersey City to use Mack wire cut brick on ten years guarantee or no guarantee at the discretion of the court of com mon council.
 The committee also recommended that the council direct that laborers and mechanics having a residence of one year or more in the city should have the preference.
 Alderman Chillingworth asked for the report on Ashnun street. There was none on the table the mayor said. Without any more adieu the Tenth ward member moved to table the report until one was made on Ashmun street. The motion prevailed by vote of IA to 1. The mayor asked Chairman Ham, ilton if a report would be ready for the next regular meeting. The chairman assured the mayor that it would. The board accepted the report of the committee on railroad and bridges re- lating to the Manufacturers Street Railway company as to turnouts, etc., granting the prayer of the petitioners. The supplemental report concerning the substitution of wooden poles instead of iron gave the petitioners leave to with draw.
 The mayor said that there were two reports of the street committee, a ma jority and minority-one relating to the investigation of the doings of the board of public works in the awarding of the street paving contracts to the Boston Asphalt company. MT. Chil- lingworth asked if the councilmanie board had not adopted one of these re- ports and if so which one The mayor replied that the minority report had been adopted.
 Alderman Rourke moved a concur renee which was passed.
 The meeting ended and the members and spectators left the chamber in groups discussing the veto and the &C., ton of the aldermen
