Baldwin. Mr. Goodale said that the
condition of Underwood avenue was a
disgrace to any civilized community;
that the mud there was from five to tif-
teen inches deep in the spring, and that
even the railroad company was obliged
to dig out its tracks to enable cars to
run
| Some opposition to a brick pavement
on Edgewood avenue appeared. P. j.
| Alderman favored a crushed stone
pavement. Others who opposed brick
We're A. Wheeler, Mr.. Griffin, c. Cowles,
f. j. Peterson and John X. Punderford,
who represents the Fair Haven and
| Westville road. Mr.. Punderford said
that under the nav paving law the
property owners would pay very
small proportion of the cost of the pave
ment and that the greater part of the
cost would fall upon the city. He
thought that the laying of brick pave
ments on Shelton and Edgewood ave-
nues would cause an unnecessary ex-
pense to the railroad company and to
the city. He said that the company
which he represented would not oppose
the laying of crushed stone pavements
on either of the streets and would not
oppose the laying of brick on East
chapel street.
Several of those who appeared before
the committee were not property own
ers on the streets involved, but said that
they represented property owners. At
tempts were made by their opponents
showing whom they represented, but
this attempt was not successful on
either side
Mr.. Punderford presented the follow
ing estimates of the cost of laying the
pavements petitioned for:

wood avenue, from Park street to Ho-
