 BRIDGE OYER WEST RIVER.

| Committee of Five to Confer With ths Town of Orange Authorities on Ihe subjset-oommnnIeat Received from Mayor studIey About the ''LIb- erty BsII''-stsps Taken for Its Recsp- tion.
 The regular meeting of the board of aldermen was held in city hall last evening. All the aldermen were pres ent except Aldermen Minor and Foote. The first business to come before the meeting was the reading of two peti- tions for the erection of sign posts. These were referred to the proper com- mittees. The following communication was received from Mayor Studley: To the Honorable Board of Aldermen,
 city of New Haven:
 | Gentlemen: I transmit herewith a communication from the joint special committee of the councils of the city of Philadelphia, informing us that the his- toric Liberty BelP' will be taken to Boston at the celebration of the battle os Bunker Hill, and that it will reach New Haven en route at 7:10 D. m. on Monday, June 15. Lack of time to pre- pare for the city's reception of the bell makes it necessary to call special meeting of your honorable board. | The sacredness Of the relic and the significance of the tour upon which it is being taken, together with the fact that this is the first opportunity the people of New Haven have had to see it make it seem the duty of the city gov ernment to take suitable steps in its honor.
 I would suggest that you appoint a special committee with power to act in the premises as may be deemed wise. It has been urged that an effort be made to, bring the bell to city hall. if that be permitted, under escort of the military and patriotic bodies in order that school children as we'll as older persons may have an opportunity to view it. In any event it seems to me that steps should be taken by the city to have the bell welcomed with appro- priate recognition.
 Respectfully submitted,
 John P. Studley, Mayor.
