| Alderman Beecher moved to recon-
slder the action taken in regard to the
passage Of the amendment concerning
location of the band stand. The chair
ruled the motion out of order on the
ground that Mr.. Beecher had voted
against the amendment.
Action was then taken to provide
that the new flag pole be erected on the
site of the old one, it having been pre-
Vlously voted to have it put through
the band stand. This action was made
necessary by the vote for removal of
the. stand.
petition was received from Frank
c. Bushnell for the laying of Trinidad
Pitch Lake asphalt pavement on
Temple street, from curb to curb, from
Chapel to Trumbul street 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on streets.
Alderman Dickerman offered a reso-
luton to provide that on condition a 10
minute schedule was adopted on the
EdgeWood avenue line and 12-minute
schedule on the Pond Lily extension
the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad
company would be permitted to build a
cross-over at Dayton street. Mr.. Dick
erman stated that he had talked with
gentlemen connected with the railroad
and that the proposition was satisfac-
tory to them Unanimous consent was
given and the resolution was passed
Alderman Atwater offered a resolu-
ton to provide that the Fair Haven and
Westville Railroad company should be
required to so arrange the schedule as
to stop the frequent blockades at the
corner of State and Chapel streets. The
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on ordinances.
A resolution was offered providing
that the special committee on school
supervisors be authorized to hire a
stenographer to take notes at the hear
ing and to pay not more than SO per
night for such service. 1t was referred
to the committet on appropriations.
Alderman Wallace moved reconsid-
Grafton of the action of the board in
voting on the location of the band
stand. Alderman Hall seconded, and
moved that the vote on the reconsidera
ton be postponed for one month. AL
derman Baldwin objected to lobbying
which he alleged was being done by the
members of the lower board of the COM
mon council. Alderman Hall said that
he resented the imputation that men,
bers of the lower body had been lobby
ing with him.
Alderman Donovan raised the point
that any motion to change the location
of the band stand was out of order as
there was no appropriation to pay for
the work. The chair did not rule on
the point. The motion to postpone re-
was passed. Alderman
Donovan insisted upon a ruling on his
point. The chair ruled the point well
taken Mr.. Donovan then presented a
resolution providing for the appropria-
ton of $500 to pay for the removal of
the band stand to the location recon-
mended by the committee on squares.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations.
Alderman Baldwin said that he
thought the citizens of New Haven
would thank the gentlemen for their ac-
ton in delaying the putting up of the
flag pole. The board has already voted |
to order the flag pole erected within 80 |
lays and delay in ordering the band |
stand removed, it is thought by some |
will delay the erection of the pole. The !
BOARD adjourned at 1920 on motion of |
Alderman Hall.
