| Inc councllmen We're in session last
| night until nearly midnight, number
| OF matters of Importance acted upon
by the aldermen at their last meeting
pelnS before the board for action. A
petition for the appointment of food
inspector was referred to the commit
tee on ordinances. The petitions of the
FAR Haven and WestviIle Railroad
company for permission to extend
tracks across Derby avenue bridge and
TO double-track Whitney avenue came
IN Tor considerable discussion. COun-
Gilman Maroney moved that the COM
mittee report concerning the crossing
OF Derby avenue bridge be adopted.
Councilman Rice of the First ward
moved the adoption of the first and Sec
ond sections of the committee report,
these two sections containing the order
and provision concerning the location of
the tracks and the kind of rail to be
used
Councilman Bradley said that it was
short sighted policy to tack on condi-
tons. He said that the street railroads
We're given privileges and that after
they got them there was a strong dis
position on their part to treat the city
in an arbitrary way. He thought that
the people of the city We're being bull
dOzed. He offered resolution provid-
ing that the city have voice in the
operation of street railways and in pre-
scribing schedules under which they
shall rum Roadway of cars and in maxi
ing rules concerning transfers. The
resolution provided further for the APP
pointment of a. committee of three al
dermen and three councilmen to con-
slider the matter and report in Novem
Der, the committee to have power to add
to its number an expert in railroad mat
ters. 1t further provided that action
on pending street railway matters be
postponed until after the report of the |
committee provided for in the resolu-
ton.
Councilman Rice Of the First ward |
thought that public convenience de-
manded that the recommendation to |
give permission to extend tracks to |
Yale field should be acted upon at once. |
Councilman Walsh offered an amend |
ment to Councilman Bradleys resolu-
tion to provide that concurrent action
with the board of aldermen be taken
in regard to the crossing of Derby ave-
nue. bridge. Councilman Maroney OBJ
jected to that part of the action of the
aldermen which called for the laying Of
a new kind of rail. He thought that
the rails now used were the best ones.
At this point Councilman Conlin rose
and objected to members of the board
of aldermen interfering with the coun-
cilmen in their meeting. Aldermen
Donovan, Hogan and ChillingWorth
were in the chamber at the time, but
the objection was directed chiefly at AL
derman Donovan, who was talking to
certain councimen in their seats.
President Miller said that if he saw
any aldermen interfering any more
with councilmen he would order the
sheriff to eject them from the chamber
He said that it was not right for alder
men with personal animosities against
the railroads to interfere with the de-
liberia lions of the cOuncilmen II
1t was then voted to concur with the
aldermen in adopting the first two sec
lions of the committee report on the
of Derby avenue bridge. Coun
third section, but Councilman Chase
moved an amendment to adopt the en-
tire committee report. Councilman AL
ling thought that the railroad company
was paying pretty cheaply to get the
of crossing the bridge at
cost of $500 per year.
Councilman Chase thought that the
of citizens and not that of
oh, h.
cred He couldn't see how the railroad
was to get any benefit from
the extension across the bridge. To
recompense for the expense sought to I

men Walsh and Conlin became involved :,
II a dispute on the floor and all the ,
we're watching them. Finally !,

President Miller said that if he heard Q

The committee report concerning dou- r.
lie tracking of Whitney avenue was a
ext taken up. Councilman Dawson o.
loved the adoption of the first and sec d
nd sections, the third section being the r
ne which contained conditions for paw
