Some months ago, when Henry He'll
mann and John A. Bagley took hold
of the Hotel Arlington, there We're
many who predicted that they could
not make a success Of that hostelry.
That prediction has been disproved,
however, for the hotel has never seen
such busy days as it is enjoying at the
present time. The new proprietors are
young Waterbury men, who came here
from Bridgeport to assume proprietor
ship, and they have made the hotel
one of the best in the city. Theatrical
companies in particular are anxious to
get in there and to-day it is filled with
transient boarders, many of them Of
the theatrical profession. Courteous
treatment to all has made the hotel one
| that is talked about.
At a meeting of the board of public
works this afternoon the committee ap-
Dointed to investigate and report upon
| the application Of Fissel & Wagner to
fence in the sidewalk on Grand street
and Cottage place abutting upon the
proposed postoff1ce site will recommend
| that the contractors be given perm1s-
sion to close the Grand street walk on
condition that they lay and maintain
a suitable board walk outside the pres
ent one, said walk to be six feet wide
| With reference to cottage place it is
considered narrow enough as it now
exists. but the committee will recon-
mend that the petitioners be given
leave to fence in the sixteen feet run
ming along Cottage place which the
city has acquired from parties who
sold the lot to the government, and
use it as a yard until the building is
! finished If the contractors fail to
keep their agreement the report pro-
Iyides that the application NAV be re-
voked by the city and the old walk
opened for public travel.
