 A communication was received from
 Mayor Studley stating that numerous
 complaints had been received to the ef-
 feet that the entrances to the central
 green were dangerous at times of large

 of the entrances. The mayor stated
 that complaints were made that women
 and children were often injured by
 crowding through the narrow spaces
 between those central posts and the
 outer posts of the entrances, and he

 A communication was received from
 Corporation Counsel Daggett in rela-
 ton to the order passed by the alder
 men calling upon the corporation coun-
 sel to sue out an injunction restraining
 the paving commission from letting an-
 other contract for the paving of Church
 street, between Chapel and Elm streets
 The corporation counsel informed the
 board that he had conferred with mem-
 bers of the paving commission and had learned that the commission would not award any contract for the pavement until after a conference with the com- mtttee appointed by the aldermen, and that therefore he thought that an in junction was unnecessary He express ed the opinion that under the charter he could be ordered to secure an in- ~junction only by the concurrent action of the aldermen and counclmen and approved by the mayor. He was, how ever, pleased to receive the vote of the aldermen as suggestion which might assist him in deciding what to do in the premises. On motion of Alderman AL { ling the communication was received, ordered on file and ordered printed in the journal.
 < Anthony Carrolrs communication concerning the appropriation of money for a celebration on the Green during the Yale bicentennial week was re- ferred to the board of finance This communication was presented at the meeting of the councilmen a week ago and in it MT. Carroll states that he, on behalf of hundreds of citizens, protests against the action of the court of com- mon council in favoring the appropria- ton, condemning that action which he says was taken at the suggestion of the mayor. He claims that the appropria- ton is unfair. unjust and dishonest to the taxpayers of the city. He bases his claims on the fact that the meeting at which hearing was given on the mat ter was advertised and called to he hn1I ot o,a Il, yx. i. time when the poorer taxpayers are at work and unable to attend. He points to the fact that a representative of Yale college was present at the meeting. x As a second reason MT. Carroll sets forth that the charter distinctly pro- vides that no money may be appropri- ated for celebrations except public celebrations He then quotes from Rovier's Law Dictionary the meaning of the word public" to show that the bicentennial will not be a public cele- fbration but a reception of Yale univer- sity only A third reason which he ad- | Vances is that no appropriation for l ruTh purpose was included in the esti- mates at the beginning of the year.
