Dr. Lam bert said: 'T object to the insult on the lamp committee offered by the alder man from the Tenth about citizens be- ing unable to get hearing from the lamp committee 7 The whole matter rests with the court of common council and when that body orders a hearing one is given"
 MT. DeWell explained that the ordi- nance directing the lamp inspector to act as clerk of the committee had been drafted In 1895, as it was thought that the Inspector was familiar with the work, and so could do it more easily than the assistant city clerk, Alderman Chillingworth said that the lamp committee had granted no public hearing in the last few years and that last year he was told that there was only money enough for few lamps. He said that these few lamps had been parcelled out without hearings and yet the lamp committee had not used all the money appropriated and some had been turned over to other purposes. He said that he would withdraw his mo- tion but would later present motion to cover the point he raised. The dis cussion of this ordinance next turned on the salary of the inspector.
 Alderman Dewell said that bills for $200 and $500 formerly came in for car riage hire for the inspector, and that while MT. Hopkins has shown that he needs no carriages some other inspec- tor may think he needs them and send in bill He therefore thought that the $1,200 should be made to cov- CT the salary of the inspector and his expenses. The ordinance so amended was finally adopted.
 Section 2S2, after being amended by MT. Dewell so as to require that all li- censed passenger vehicles, which solicit business on the public thoroughfares should be obliged to bear lighted lamps in the night time, was adopted. On motion of Alderman Pickett the third paragraph of section 2SS, which permitted a hack stand on Chapel street, north side, between College street and point one hundred feet east from the northeast corner of Col 1ege and Chapel streets, was stricken out, and the ordinance so amended was adopted.
 Alderman Chillingworth moved the adoption of the revised ordinances from section 311 to the proposed new ordi- nances The substitute ordinance draft, ed in accordance with the wishes of the plumbers of the city, concerning the filling of excavations on the streets was first adopted, however. This sub- stitute provides that plumbers may have the right to refill such excava- tions The first draft of the revised or dinances provided that such work should be done by the city at the ex- pense of the parties making the exca- vation. After the adoption of the amended ordinance, the motion of AL derman Chillingworth was passed.
 The proposed new ordinances were then adopted in toto.
 The building ordinances drawn up by committee of practical builders ap- pointed for that purpose, were then adopted, and as these ordinances ex, tended the fire limits slightly beyond the limits laid down in the ordinances submitted by the ordinance revision committee, on motion of Alderman Dewell it was voted to repeal section 134 of the ordinances in so far as it was inconsistent with the new building or dinance regarding fire limits.
 This finished the consideration of the revised ordinances. The report of the railroads and bridges committee, rec. ommending that the Fair Haven an( 'Westvil1e Railroad company be givel permission to lay crossover on Dix. well avenue. between Munson an6 Henry streets was adopted The board then adjourned.
