 I Councilman Tyner asked that appro- pria tioii he made for tI!e paving of Law
 recce street with crushed stone; also for 1 some repairs on Edwards street and
 Bishop street, and the extension of Liv-
 1ngston street. He thought that the | board of finance should provide for some ! permanent method of cleaning the Or

 would be presented foH the extension of 1 Pearl street to Whitney avenue from | Orange street, and that should be pro- vided for He favor(td che establish

 make some appropria ion to build
 trestle-work at Willow street bridge. Mayor Driscol asked if he wanted to
 have another amount Appropriated for that bridge to be exhauated, and he re- piled that since the wol;k oG the bridge | had gone so far, something should be done to put it in condition for use. Councilman filling asked that appro-

 although he said that l,e was not ap-
 bearing for Winchester avenue.
 Councilman Rowland Etanted Bradley
 street paved with crushNd stone. Coun-
 cilman Barnes of the F. urteenth ward
 desired to have Quinnipitc avenue from

 Councilman Keane ask d if the pave ment appropriat wer1 to be appro- priated for specific streelE or in lump sum. Mayor Driscoll cohldn't say, he didn't know what the b{ ard would do. Alderman Dove, a member of the board, said that last yes9' the amount for paving was appropriated in lump sum. MT. Keane thoughs that the ap- propriations should be Eiade for spe- cifc streets. He believed that under the charter transfers of money from one appropriation to antther must be first recommended by 1.-the common council, He asked that I ,oney be pro- uided to pave with crushlsd stone Kim berly avenue from Greenl$gich street to Sea street, Sea street by Bay View Park, Portsea street, Carlisle street, Liberty street and Princt: street. He said that the Fourth wafd was one of the largest voting districtf in the Unit ed States and should be taken care of. He suggested that money be appropri- ated for free public baths at Bay View Park instead of for frivolous purposes.
 Superintendent Spier spoke in favor of paving the streets in the original nine squares and thought the paving appropriation should be { made in lump sum and that the director of public works should be petFnitted to use it where he thought it was needed trost.
 Ex-Alderman J. D. DeNell was next heard, He said that he gas glad to receive rotice through the papers that
 je boatd of finance was tt hold pub

 I t tiyns, under the charteI'. the money

 ] the board of finance 10 distribute Id whsle the charter permits the com- ! lon council by a two-thhds vote to
 nange the appropriations it1ade by lHc i ananee board, that was practically inn [ ossibls. In making out tie approprl- tions zhe members of thN board of inancel should bear this in mind. With reference to the board of es iucation, he isked whether the estimat1s of that department could be seen.
 Mayor Driscoll stated that he be- lieved the estimates had beea published, that they were open to lhe} newspapers to publish if they so desire.l. Ct may be reevant to state here ths the board of finance has closely guar led the es- timates presented by the iYarious de- partr,ents and after the estimates were | all before the board of finaiae repre- | of this paper wes Iefused per miss sn to see them. The, mayor in | making the statement which he did was | therefore evidently laborinf under misa pprehension.)
 After Mr. Dewells request a copy of | he estimates of the board o9 education | vas handed to him by the mayor. Lat er when copy of the estimates of the police department was asked for by an- 1th CT citizen who appeared tIe was in 'or1aed that nJ copy of the estimates of hal departma nt was among the papers ,n the table.
 Continuing. MT Dewell sad that he appeared to represent a lar,fe number If taxpayers and citizens. He said: The board of education eacl year re- ives a considerable amount of money I om the city of New Haven, which it is islt that it should receive. We object n the money they receive being used or some of the purposes for tshich it is lsed, because such use wastes the mon- " and ruins the children. ,.Iore than .inety per cent of the children leave 1, ,iol, Id, |
