l The board of councilmen at it's regu- i lar session last night passed an order ! for the building of a sewer in Blatchley avenue, from Lombard street north ward to the railroad tracks, to accom- modate the Housatonic company, which
 the Chamber of Commerce has induced to locate here.
 This matter was first brought to the attention of the court of common coun- cil by communica ton from Mayor Studley stating that the company was
 to locate here, on Blatchley avenue, and

 The mayor recommended the passage

 referred to the sewer committee by the
 aldermen at their regular March meet

The matter has thus far been attended to most expeditiously and special meeting of the aldermen will doubtless be held this week to se cure concurrence with the counc1lmen so that there may be no uncertainty re- garding the building of the sewer to de- ter the Housatonic company from To- eating here.

 A communica ton was received from Mayor Studey. accompanying a letter received by him from the Waterbury thanking the city of New Haven for the assistance rendered on the occasion of the recent big fire in Waterbury. The councilmen voted to place the letter on file.
 Some time ago. when the special wa ter committee was appointed, the coun- cilmen voted that all committees to be appointed during the rest of the year be elected by the board instead of being by the president of the board, as was voted at the first session of the
