SIDEWALKS THAT NEED REPAIRING.
Superintendent Kelley Presented Long Transacted By
 Board At Last N9ht'S Meetin9

At the meeting or the board Of pub- lie works. last night the Rev Father Curtin was granted permission to close the sidewalk at the junction of Baldwin and Washington streets while the superstructure of the new St Francis Xavier's church is in use The request for crosswalk at this point could not be granted owing to lack of funds.
 George W. Connor's request fhat the board reconsider its decision concern ing the sewer assessment on his prop erty on West Side Hill, opposite Grandview avenue. was referred to a committee consisting of City nngineer Cairns, Commissioners ScuIly and Su- fntendent Kelley.
 Mir Johnson of West Side Hill was told that there was mo money when he asked what had been done regard ing the sidewalk question and the overflow of water on the walks in that section.
 The applications of the trolley com pany and the Waterbury Hotel corpor- ation to remove trees in front of their property were granted.
 William H. Kidder of PIP Cherry street applied for sewer. plumbing ana excavating licenses. The application was referred to Commissioners Ma nancy and Whiting to investigate and report. The filing of thfs application was the occasion of few pointed re- marks by Mayor Kilduff in regard to too much latitude given plumbers in opening streets. etc. Among other things he Batd:
 Now we are spending about $1OO,- GOO on storm water condtits and it is costly work, as well as thorough. This work is going to last good many years, but the city engineer tells me that he fears that some of these con duits will be undermined by people making street excavations, and their haste or carelessness in replacing the earth. I think that this board should refuse to grant such people further li- censes for street excaVations unless they leave each job in proper and thoroughly satisfactory condition as regards the replacing of material thrown up in the excavations"
 Superintendent Kelley said that he had experienced plenty of trouble from plumbers and others who mad ie- eefved licenses for street excavations
 
 to grant licenses to people who do not replace the dirt and stones in pro- per manner.
 The application of MT Lawior of TOO South Main street for the removal of a tree from the sidewalk at that point waS granted.
 William J. Moss and several other residents of the suburban district near the Oronoke road appeared before the board to see if it could do any thing in regard to the closing of q driveway or road from Highland ave- nue through the Chip1nan estate and other property to their houses. This road has been closed by Hadley Stark, who has q lease of inc Chipman es- tate. The board stated that it had no rights in the matter. The resi- dents should look for redress to the people from whom they purchased the property on the understanding that they had right to use the road Mir Stark holds the key 9o the situation just now
