Borough of Naugatuck-I hereby appeal from the decision of your board ordering curb and sidewalk to be laid adjoining my premises on Orchard street for the fol lowing reasons: First the public use of the street is not sufficient to war rant the necessity expenditure either by the borough or by myself; second, it is against the wishes of all the prop erty owners on the street except one, who represents less than 20 per cent of the entire frontage; third, it is not necessary to lay walks and curbs to prevent Orchard street from washing onto Main: the remedy lies in finish ing the work undertaken last year at the upper end of High street; if the water from Johnson street is kept off from Orchard street there would be no trouble to speak of; fourth, the im- provements requested last year by majority of residents on the street. would be inexpensive and satisfactory to the entire neighborhood, with pos sibly one exception; fifth, the ground cannot be put into proper shape at this late date so that walks. can be laid in the specified time." The report of Attorney Sweeney for collections of back taxes was read and accepted. The, following vote was passed by the board: Whereas. a nuisance exists at the corner of Millyille and Hillside avenue. near the residence of Oscar Warner, it is ordered by this board that said nuisance be abated on or be- fore September 1. 1902" At 1O:45, there being no further business, the board voted to adjourn.

 Those junk dealers who hold licenses to do business in this town are in a fair way of losing their right to do business in Naugatuck ifswhat the of fcials of the borough, claim is true. The law requires that all junk dealers shall keep record of their transac- tions, but this they have neglected to do. Several of the licenses will run out in a, few days and it is doubtful if the dealers will be able to receive new licenses. 74
