ST ANN's CHURCH FAIR.

St Anns fair attracted another large crowd last evening. The stage per fOrmance was about the best that has been furnished thus far and was en- joyed by all who attended. There was also plenty of dancing, with music by Galipeau's orchestra. This evening the committee will endeavor to make the affair one of the banner nights. A good entertainment has been provided and the orchestra will have special music for the dancing. A trip to the hall this evening will be we'll worth the price of admission. Grand prizes will be given at the hobo dance which will take place on Friday evening. The sale of tickets for the sacred concert at Ppli's, which will wind up the affair on next Sunday evening, has been very large.

TIT. HUNTER PROTESTED.
At Dsssrsction of His prspsrty sa
 Aceemmedats Trolley Co.

David Hunter of Sirnonsvilles made a dignifed and yet vigorous protest at the meeting of the board of public
 works last night against the proposed destruction of his property for the ac- commodation of the trolley company.
 He said there Is no need of fifty foot street in that part of the town. He had measured Baldwin street at different points where the trolley tracks are now laid and found that it is considerably less than fifty feet and still there appears to be lots of room. On Cole street the distance from curb to curb in some places is only twenty four feet. He didn't care about ten foot line because 1t means nothing So long as veranda or bay window may project beyond the cellar wall and shut out the view from the next house as effectually as anything else. He would have twenty foot line or nothing In this Mir Hunter was right. With a ten foot line q yeranda and steps extend clear up to the street line so that if you want little front yard one would have to keep back at least twenty feet. Mir Hunter said he was not so much concerned about dam ages as he was with reference to the preservation of his trees and -shrubbery and that he thought man who had been as good a citizen of Waterbury for the past thirty-five years as he has been was entitled to some considera. tion. The mayor and the commission CTS agreed with Mir Hunter, but they couldn't see their way to doing any thing for him with reference to the width of the street or the depth of the building line. The mayor appears to be fair about these things and assured Mr Hunter that he would get damages. Speaking on this matter when the widening of South Willow street was before the board, Mayor Elton said that it was not the intention of the city to do" anybody out of his prop erty and that so far as he was con- cerned he wanted to see everybody re ceive full value for what would be taken from him. This is proper way to transact public business, but unfOr- tunately it is not always carried out. The public can better afford to pay for what it wants than the ordinary inli. vidual can to let it go at sacrifice. which many do rather than go into the courts.
