 Speaking of his resolution MT. Nor 1 ris said that he believed it was a mat l ter that should receive the considera- l tion of every member of the board. He l said he though 1t a necessity due the 1 people of New Haven who should be permitted to enjoy East Rock park, | which has been so far removed from l the general public that it was impossi- l ble to find one citizen in 100 who had l the means to get transportation to the
 summit of the rock. He said he didn't
 care whether an elevator or an electric
 railroad was built to the summit of
 East Rock, but he thought that some thing should be done.
 l The resolution was referred to a, spec l ial committee to consist of two alder
 men and three councilmen, and the all | dermanic members of the committee l appointed were Aldermen Thomas | Brennan and Corcoran.
 A communication was received from I the New Haven Bicycle union concern | ing the paving of several street inter- 1 sections which was ordered some time | ago but held up owing to lack of ap- propriation The communication stated
 that the city engineer had estimated l that the cost of the work would be 1 about $10,S16, of which S4,927.65 would l be assessed upon the street railroads, 1 and the remainder to be paid by the 1 city. The matter was referred to the l committee on streets.
 l A recommendation was received from | the mayor that an ordinance be pass | ed requiring the board of assessors an- 1 nually to transmit a report of the prop | erty in the city exempt from taxation and the reasons therefore. The mat | ter was referred to the committee on ordinances. Another communication l from the mayor called attention to the | fact that the filling in material used in water street park was being washed l out by the tide and recommending an | investigation by a committee of the
 common council. This was referred to l a special committee to consist of two l aldermen and three councilmen. As 1 aldermanic members of this committee 1 Aldermen Cooley and Root were ap- | pointed. Another communication from | the mayor suggested the appointment | of a special committee to look into the advisability of having band concerts on l the green this summer It was voted
 to refer this matter to a special con- mittee of two aldermen and three coun-
 cilmen, and Aldermen Ryan and Pet 1 rie were appointed members. The | mayor also in a communication refer | red to the fact that at present under
 section 3,92S of the general statutes the special taxes received from express 1 companies and street railroad compan- ies went to the state, and he recom- 1 mends that an effort be made at the 1 next legislature to allow the towns in 1 which these companies are located and 1 do business to have the benefit of these I taxes in the same way that they re- I ceive taxes from property located | within their limits and taxed. The l matter was referred to the committee
