NEW PAVING ORDERED
Board of Public Works Will Try the
 Bitulithic.

The board of public works met last night and awarded the contract for paving Grand street between Bank and tween Prospect and North Main streets and North Willow street between Grove and Johnson streets, to Warren Broth CTS of Boston for $2.30 per square yard, the material used to be bitulithic. It was intended to use wood on Grand street, but the commissioners consiG- cred it too expensive. The whole con tract amounts to about $15.O0O. Antoni Navells called attention to the condi- tion of Edward street referring to it as a .h--ll of a place" Plans were prepared for work on this street some years ago by Engineer Cairns and a portion of it was carried out by Super intendent Kelley then in charge of the street department. Nothing has been done with it since, and as the engineer said it stands there like half finished house. The matter was referred to Superintendent Hotchkiss of the street department for investigation and re- port.
 Mrs Edna Santana informed the board that will cost S1,246 to bring her house on Lounsbury street to the grade of the highway. The matter was referred to the city engineer for report. Property owners interested NJ the construction of sewers in Railroad Hill and Griggs street grade and lay out and establishment of building lines for Bunker Hill road and portion of West Main street, were called and heard after which each project was favorably reported to the aldermen. Peter F. Coughlan reminded tine board that some work will have to be done on Lounsbury street by the city before property owners can proceed with the order to lay the curb. He was re- quested to hurry folks along with the curb and assured that the city will do its share of the work in due time.
 City Attorney Kellogg was present at the meeting and stated that he want ed all the members to attend the Oak vile trestle hearing before the railroad commissioners at Hartford on August ?.
 The contract for the construction of sewers in James and Pine streets and in Wall avenue were awarded to Heating X Egan for S2.010.1O. A bid for the same work was received from Edward McManus which amounted to 80 o4o 10
