 New Haven, Conn.,, June 15, 1903. To the Honorable Board of Aldermen of
 the City of New Haven:
 Your committee appointed at the last meeting of this board to confer with the representatives os the town of Or ange. regarding the bridge ordered to be built over West river on Kimberly avenue, desire to report that they have attended to these duties as far as in their power, and have tried to have the matter settled. But as the town of Or ange at two stated meetings voted to change their vote from a stationary bridge to a lift or draw bridge. your committee could do little, as they were told there would have to be meeting of the town for that purpose. We therefore recommend that the director of public works be instructed to carry out the instructions already ordered by the board of aldermen, in reference to the construction of bridge over West river at Kimberly avenue.
