WANTS A MILLION WATCHES.

Robert H. Tngersoll & Brother, of New York city, celebrated the glorious Fourth by closing a contract with Sy- monds' London stores for one million Ingersoll watches, the largest order ever known in the watch trade. Rob- ert H. Ingersoll has just cahled here about the deal, which Is the outcome of several months negotiation, following the sale of nearly quarter million watches to the Symonds concern in the past year. The foreign trade in medium and low priced watches has heretofore been nonopolized by Switzerland, Germany and France, but the strides made in ten years in the production here of thoroughly accurate and ser viceable watches by automatic machin- cry in unprecedented quantities, and at low price, account for the revolutionary change recorded by MT. Ingersolfs cablegram The Ingersoll factory is now producing six thousand watches daily, and will exceed one and a half millions for the current year.-NeW York Evening Telegram.

WEST HAVEN STREETS.

Remarkable Work Accomplished by the New Inspector, F. R. Lewis.
 Since the recently appointed inspec- tor of streets of West Haven, Fred cirque R. Lewis, has taken hold of the work of fixing up the thoroughfares in the borough the streets have taken on For number of years past the streets, and noticeably the most frequented streets, have been sadly neglected, the gutters being filled or overgrown with weeds and the curbs being anything but even. MT. Lewis has gone to work within the last few months and has made a careful study of the different streets, learning their needs, etc., and as a result a great change has been worked in the borough.
 Kimberly avenue, below the bridge, is now in the hands of MT. Lewis, and before long what was one of the worst appearing streets in West Haven will be graded and macadamized and will be the equal of any of the macadamized streets in West Haven or in New Ha-  ven.
 It Is the intention of MT. Lewis to continue his work around the corner to Elm street and macadam the street as far as Campbell avenue, thus putting in good shape a street that has been out of repair for long time. The work is progressing rapidly and thor oughly, and large force of men is em- ployed on the spot
 Previous to taking hold of Kimberly avenue MT. Lewis fixed over many of the other streets of the borough, laid scores of crosswalks and made other renovations and improvements that have met with great favor by the war den, the burgesses and the residents in general Such energetic work as MT. Lewis has done for the benefit of the borough has rarely been equalled in that place.

NEW PAVING COMMISSION.
Important Action Taken by Meeting
 Held Yesterday.

Important Action IaKen Dy MeelihS
 Held Yesterday.
 The new paving commission held it's second meeting at Il o'clock yesterday in the mayors office. They were call ed to listen to the opinion of the cor- poration counsel in regard to their du- ties, but they transacted other import ant business and engaged in very sig nificant discussion
 The substance of the opinion of the corporation counsel was that the com mission had nothing to do with paving contracts awarded before they assum- ed office.
 There was considerable discussion as to the kind of pavement to be used in Church street, between Chapel and Elm streets. The matter of material enter ed into the discussion. The commission wanted to know if the railroad com pany, which had already paved It's DOT ton of the street with brick, could De compelled to take these up and lay any other kind of pavement selected. Clty Engineer Kelly said he didn't think the railroad company could be compelled to make the change at its own expense. The commission discussed asphalt and wood pavement chemically prepared brick, etc, and then decided to defer action on material till next Monday at ii a. m.
 It is quite likely that the commission will select brick for this section so as to conform with the pavement already laid.
 An important vote passed by the board is to the effect that there will be no public hearings by the commission at present They will select the Church street material without hearing the public on the matter.
 In their talk the commissioners eX- pressed the opinion that they should not be guided in the selection of ma terial wholly by the desires of the res idents on the street involved. MT Adler stated that he believed the wish es of the whole public should be con- suited and not the wishes of few as the streets were used by the entire public.
 City Engineer Kelly told the commis- sion that they had the power to select pavement for Ferry street and East Pearl street at their intersection and the matter of material for this street will be considered at the meeting next Monday.
 The commission voted their clerk, Ernest c. Simpson, salary of $500 wear,
