BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Theodore Nuhn Objects to Work Being
 Done on Watsrtown Road.

At the meeting of the board of public works last night Mayor Elton presided.
 Theodore r. Nuhn called attention to a rather peculiar situation with ref erence to the layout of the WatertOwn road which is being worked although the property owners have not yet been heard on the premises. No award of benefits and damages and no order from the aldermen to go ahead with the project. Mir Nuhn said he didn't suppose they would levy an assessment now. but that was not what concerned him most. They are cutting into his ter race and as the family own both sides of the street for distance of quarter of mile he thought this could be avoided by taking what is wanted from the opposite side and leave the terrace alone. He also objected to the remov- al of several nice trees. It was decid- ed to look it over today. .'r'
 Hearings were heard regarding the proposed paving of West Main street from North Main to point near the soldiers monument.
 William E. MerrinSan was very much opposed to the proposition because he considered it expense to the family and to the public and not at all necessary. He believed the macadam road now there all right if taken care of. MT Merriman would object to the pave ment even no assessment should be charged. He thought this demand for a paved roadway in front of the new hotel nothing more than mere sent- ment There was no objection from another source. Mir Northrop and Mir Boyd favored the pavement as far as Prospect street If the work should he done the material used will be bithu- lithic. Nobody appeared for North Willow street.
 Parties interested in the construction of storm water conduit i'll Little Brook on Adams street were called and heard. There was no opposition to IL. Favorable action was taken on this and the paving of West Main and North Willow streets. the recommendation to the aldermen asking that the board re- serve the right to use such paving ma terial as it thinks best. It is under stood that the pavement on the north side of the green will not extend farther west than Prospect street.
 Alderman Tobin was heard relative to the situation with reference to the residence of Michael Coss on Silver street. If it stands on the embank ment the city will have to build re .lining wall there which will cost i about sSDO. It can be lowered and the wall dispensed for SII3. This would improve the looks of the streets and
 would be a benefit to the park which is located in the rear of the property The matter was referred to the engi neer.
