NEW SIDEWALK LAW.
It Nay Not be the Saccess it Was :
 Ansicipatea.


 So far as can be learned the repair ing of sidewalks is going along all right and if 1t is carried out in an eco nomical. impartial way the public will be pleased with it, but if the work should be confined to certain districts like the cleaning of streets. then peo- pie will soon grow tired of it. Tha sidewalk law needs to be amended, anyway. It should read, and that was the intention of the department of public works, that on and after certain date all sidewalks constructed or repaired in Waterbury should be laid to the approval of the board of public works. the whole cost to be paid by abutting property owners, and after they had been so construct ed and approved by the board of pub lie works the city should see that they were kept in proper condition for pub lie travel Tn this way smart folks could not get the drop on their neigh bors. The proper thing to do under existing conditions is to steer clear of walks that should have been fixed by the owners and let them stand until the act is repealed so that 1t may be applied with fairness. The city new CT intended to accept walks while they were in need of repairs and if the present administrations wants to be fair 1t should not spend copper of the money appropriated for that pur pose on walks abutting on property whose owners were notified to repair them last year.

BOARD or CHARITIES.
Considerable Business TrAusacssd at
 nonthly Meetina.

The meeting of the board of charities yesterday afternoon proved a little more interesting than the meetings of lnls board are generally. Regent Mofan brought up the matter of buy. ing bull for the Brookside home and ne pleaded so earnestly and eloquently for 1t that the commissioners. who ap- peared somewhat unwilling at first. at iength succumbed to the magic of his Ialk and the soundness of his logic me argument which was most con- V1nclng was the following:
 We have always had bull up there and the cost of keeping him is nothing to speak of. will buy him if you peo- Die will pay for his keep The last one We had was q great inyestment He only cost us $20 and when he was Killed We got $49 worth of beef out of the carcass
 The board received an unexpected visit from William Mccarthy. an aged cripple from Regent Moran's hotel
 Billie was allowed to come to town to see the circus last week, but had such good time that he forgot to re. turn. After making his bow to the mayor and the other members of the board he stated that the object of his visit was to be re-admitted to the pala- eAut AOA1c tC Iu0 L0Wn fdfm.
 Why didn't you go back on time when MT Moran let you out and not stay around town raising the devil?Hs the mayor inquired
 Raise the devil, Is, it? Sure, your honor, 1 never rose the devil in my life,' replied Billy. Later he said: s.I only oyerstretched me liberty a bit How could 1 raise the devil with me hip and me thigh and me shin bone bToken?"
 When asked what he would do if he 1 was let back he said he would eat his share Before leaving his request to return to the Brookside home was granted and he was told that he might be allowed to see Forepaugh and Sells Bros circus on June IT if he were good.
 The request of Rocco DeB0niss of Winchester avenue that his passage back to Italy be paid was not granted, as the board has no Jurisdiction in the case. He is chronic rheumatic and 1 wishes to return home. He has an equity in little piece of land and this he would give to the board in return for the money for his passage The request of fDr Dubuc that he be appointed city physician for the month of June was not granted, as the place 1 is already filled.
