Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-02-07

reported favorably upon all the dc- partment of health asked for with the exception of the change in the time of appointment of members of that board and the long tenure of office. In the light of recent events it was evi- dent that the committee concluded the board of health does not set muck value on experience. Everything in this connection was cut out with the exception of the provision that at least two members of the board shall be physicians. The old ordinance calls for only one physician, but as q ruls two of the members arc physicians. so that this change amounts to nothing. All the other matters advocated by the health board were approved and the city attorney instructed to appear be- fore the general assembly in favor of them.
 A communication was received from inc department of education stating that they had cuught permission from pr Eodman to lay a temporary board walk from Luke street to the Mulcahy school and received Il reply of which the following is q copy:
 Waterbury, Conn, Jan l1, 1905. J. J. Fitzgerald. Clerk:
 Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of the 17th. the Mulrahy school was con structed by first tearing down our di- vision wall, then by teaming across our land for many months 10 the dcstruc- lion af the turf. Division fences erect cd by my order were promptly torn down, and 10 prevent cOntiscntion of the land by the city 1 was compelled to employ counsel.
 If it be possible to prevent trcspass- ing 1 desire to do it. If the city wishes any portion of the land for school or public uses. it can be acquired on an equitable basis. Very truly yours,
 (Signed C. $. RODMAN.
 The communication was received and placed on file >Then the members turned to the map and looked at the line of the proposed street. and after getting an idea of what it looked like Mr Murray remarked that there must he something wrong there else .here would not be such bend in the street, and added that he should like to know how it got into that shape.
 You cant rcSurrect that" replied Mir Rlakeslec.
 'Oh. don't see why that should be so," said Mr Murray. Other things of less importance. and where the wrong was by no means as far reach ing. have been resurrccted and right. cd. and why not this? If that street has 10 be laid out the way it is HOW the board of public works should be requested to take into consideration the injury it does the owner of the property on the east side. That mans property is ruined and it isn't right that any individual should suffer to that extent without receiving such rcOmpense as can he given. don't know anything about how the street got into that shape. but it is very plain that it hems one man in SO that h.. can't do anything with his property on that side"
 Mir Beach moved that the petition of the department of edpcation he for warded to the board of health. togcth- CT with request that the board take into consideration the hardship intiict- ed upon one of the neighboring proper fy owners oh account of the peculiar street leading to the school building.
 Chairman Rlakeslce wanted to know if it wouldn't be we'll to appoint a committee to explain the situation to the board. whercupOn MT Beach re- piled that he suspected that they knew all about it. The motion was passed.
 The rpcommendat ton of the board of public works that petitioners for the renewal of James F..

Mr Beach said that in the near future when the seven and a half minute headway will he introduced on the trolley roads that place will be more cOngested than it i;' at the present time and would he no place for a lunch cart. \ year ago. he said. all Mir Harrington claimed he wanted was d little time to look up an- other stand When this time expires le will have enjoyed full year i:. which to secure another location. Mr Murray said that inasmuch as there is large petition signed by many business men abOIt the city ask ing for tho retention of the cart ans. no rcmonstrancc against it. he diin'' sec why he should be denied a license. If it were q nuisance now or at an. tirte in the past. and anybody repre- s,ntci II as such. the alderman would hot have Il word to say. but under the conditions he believed that without taking Mr Harrington into consi.lcra ton at all and acting solely with :. view to accommodating the public. tn, lunch cart should he allowed fo remain. where il is until such time somebody finds fault with it or the officials them selves see that it is in the way.
