 Last Night.
 The regular monthly meeting of the warden and burgesSeS was held last evening in the borough court room. In the absence of Warden Schaffer Se- nior Burgess Smith presided. The other members of the board present were Burgesses Kenney, Ranslow, Westbrook, Mills and Freeman. The minutes of the last meeting were read and accepted. The monthly re- ports of Chief of Police John E. Schmidt, Tax Collector J. E. Martin, Borough Treasurer George l.. Wig more and Health Officer w. F. smith, were read and accepted. One part of Health Officer Smiths report was that there were q cases of scarlet fever reported and cases of diphtheria He asked the board to pass an ordi- nance making the time of quarantine in scarlet fever cases four weeks. This resolution caused considerable discus sion. the members of the board think inc the health officer had power enough and law enough back of him to use his own judgment in regard to the length of quarantine. Health Of- ficer Smith explained his resolution by saying that some years ago there was an ordinance relating to this matter, which made the length of quarantine six weeks. but people criticised this so much it was repealed. MT Smith said that he had talked the matter over with the physicians of the town. and he stated that they were all unan- imous in having four weeks the limit of quarantine ill scarlet fever cases. The board toook no action and the matter was dropped. The Metal Fin ishing company presented plans or ! the plumbing i'll their new building. The board voted to accept the plans as submitted The board also voted to grant George Wigglesworth perlnis sion to connect the premises of the Metal Finishing company with the Bridge street storm sewer.

MT Phillips statee that the water flowed on his side of the street and had nowhere to find l oY Y1+ af a C111nctnd hof hn ough lay q pipe across the road to the river and then there would be no fur ther trouble. The matter was refer red to the road committee. At 3:45, there being no further business to come up, the board voted to adjourn. An adjourned meeting of the stock holders of the Naugatuck Water com pany will be held this evening at $ o'clock ill the borough court room.
