 I A communication was received from

It was voted to cite in property own- l CTS on Prospect street from West Main to Grove street. and on West Main street from North Main street to Park place, on May 5, to be heard relative ] to proposed change of grade between these points. The engineer was in- strueted to prepare profiles for the
 proposed layout of Chambers street. The clerk reported to the board the
 action taken by the aldermen relative to the proposed dfscontinuance of a
 portion of Vine street. The board was about to refer the matter to com
 mittee when it was decided to lot it
 stand for the present. It is probable that it will be sent back to the alder
 men ill it's present shape. Mir Chesson
 stated that he had learned since Mon-
 day night that the Scovill Manufacture ing Go paid nothing for that part of Hayden street which was discontinued,
 the $230 received by ths city in that connection being the cost of removing catch basins, disconnecting sewer and water mains and making q map and survey of the disconkinued property. The city get nothing for the street, so that the board of public works was
 proceeding in the usual way with this
 matter. If the aldermen had passed the recommendation then the board of public works woud have the engineer prepare a map showing how much of the street was to be discontinued to- gether with an estimate of the cost of
 doing the work. The next move would be hearing and after this the matter
 would be referred to the aldermen, who would send it to the bureau of assess ment, where the question of expense would be adjusted, as they have been l in all such cases. Then it would finally wind up in the aIdermanic cham Der, and if the board didn't like what 1 had been done they would bt at liberty to take such action upon it as they ] deemed proper.
