FOR LICENSING ENGINEERS.
Important Public Hearing on the Pet

Important Public Hearing on the Petit
 tion Last Night.
 The committee on ordinances met last night to consider the petition of J. Rathgeber for the enactment of an or dinance requiring stationary engineers to be licensed. As was expected, there was a large attendance and many voices were heard in favor of the peti- ton and few were there that opposed it. Those favoring it put in the claim that it was for the protection of local engineers, saying that Connecticut was a dumping-ground for incompetent en- gineers that are turned away from New York and Massachusetts, and that it was these men who take the bread and butter away from the local engineers. They also argued that no man should take care of 9 boiler or I'll an engine who is not absolutely competent. Many accidents, they said, would not happen if the men in charge of boilers were obliged to go before committee and be examined.
 The men who argued in favor of the petition were Allen Ryder, Wallace B. Holt, Louis l.. Behler, Henry Rathgeb- CT, Joseph Thomas, William H.. Wash burn, Edward Maroney, Joseph White and William T. Burdick, all of whom are experienced and we'll known local engineers. E. P. Arvine, counsel for the engineers lodge, also favored the resolution.
 S. W. Hurlburt, Lewis Herrick and Frederick l.. Cowles were among those who opposed the petition, saying that it was not necessary to license engi- neers, and that it would be expensive in many cases. After short executive session it was announced that action was deferred.

FOOTBALL NEWSOF INTEREST
FIRST CAME OF THE SEASON ON
 TALE FIELD.
wiI Take Place Tomorrow Afternoon --seTsre Practice Held Yssterday- KhakI Uniforms at U. of P.-Other InGeIestang Items,

The first football game of the season for the Yale team will be played on Yale field tomorrow afternoon. Trinity college of Hartford will come down a husky crowd of men who will line up against the Blue. Captain Chadwick will give as many of the squad a chance to play as possible. The Trinity squad comprises some heavy material, but the Hartford players will in no way com- pare with the Yale men. Yale should win by large score, but the score will not be run up to a large figure owing to the many changes which will occur in the Blues line up during the contest.
 Nearly all the candidates for positions behind the line will be worked out, and Wilbur, Batehelder and several other big line men will be played.
 Yesterday the squad held rather a se- were practice and when the two elevens lined up against each other the men fought like tigers. Championship games are fought to a finish, but in point of intensity nothing quite equals the prac- tice line-ups on Yale field. Every man is fighting for a position on the 'varsi- ty eleven and for his "Y,' and each player goes into the practice with the determination to remove all obstacles from his path. These features were noticeable in the practice yesterday At the afternoon practice, which was held at } o'clock, more than sixty can didates reported. Walter Camp was on the field for the first time this sea- son. He was well pleased with the out turning of candidates and expressed satisfaction with the coaching system. Four teams were put to work and this system will be carried on for some time to come.
 Glass was not in the practice yester- day.

Voted S2,500 Last Night by the Board of
 Finance to Fit Up Buildings.
 The board of finance at its regular meet ing last night voted to give the board of education $2,500 to be used in fitting up buildings in the different districts so that the scholars who are unable to secure ac- commodations Tn the schools have sore place where they may be taught. The in crease In scholars this year is LIS over that of last year. and the board of educa- ton is left unable to cope with this extra ordinary state of affairs. The hoard of education counts on an increase Of about BOO each year. and as a result of the re- markable growth the board has to fit uE vacant residences in the districts so that the children may receive the schooling that is entitled to them. The sum voted last night will be taken from the "contngeu- ces" fund on the controllers account. Representatives of the board of education were present at the meeting last night. Four members of the board favored giving the money and two were against it. Those in favor were Messrs. Dewel. Rowe. At wood and Logan. and those opposed were Messrs Frederick and Curtis.
 It was decided to nut over the matter of transfers as asked by the lamp depart ment last week. It will be taken up at the next regular meeting. The regular bills were approved and the meeting adjourned at 0.2O

Squabble at the Public Hearing Held
 Last Evening.
 The special committee 10 whom was referred the matter of the sale of a DOT tiOn of West Rock to the Diamond Match company held a meeting last night and after a somewhat exciting hearing the committee adjourned at Il o'clock to meet again Monday. when another public hearing will be held. Judge 4. Heaton Robertson, Judge Hotchkiss, Attorney E. P. Arvine, Henry T. Blake. ex-Mayor Driscoll and several other well known New Haven citizens appeared before Ile committee to either favor or oppose the sale of the land. President Wallace. of the board of aldermen. took the last three or four minutes of the session and stated his views on the action of the commit tee and the people interested in the sale of the property. He said that the com mittee should have made more notice of the fact that the meeting last night was to be public one, so that the peo- pie of the city would have a chance to express their views on the sale of the West Rock property. He said that to him it looked as though an array of legal talent was trying to dispose of the matter in a way to suit themselves and that they were trying to bar out the voice of the public. He pointed to the score or more of legal papers. docu- ments, etc., that figured in the hearing last night and said the superior and supreme court decisions should cut no figure in the matter. Alderman Wal lace was of the opinion that the mat ter could be settled by the people, but even if it should not be settled they should be given good chance to ex- press their opinions on the important nuestion.
