 Another interesting meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Inn provement committee was held last evening in the Lyceum and the or ganization was addressed by Super intendent of Streets E. c. Kilduff. As result of last nights discussion 1t was decided to concentrate the work of the committee on the fol lowing three projects: The exten- sion of Clark street, the straighten- ing of Bank street and the extension of Liberty street, which has been talked of for such a long time that 1t has become a joke, some persons imagining that the improvement will never come. MT Kilduff talked in a very candid manner to the members present and in the opening of his ad- dress stated that he wished to be looked upon not as representing the city, but speaking as he himself saw the condition of things in Brooklyn and the other sections of the town. He tried to impress upon his listeners the need of improvements in other parts of Waterbury besides Brook lyn whose residents. he declared, should not expect all the money to be spent over there. He wants the taxpayers of Brooklyn to obtain all the improvements asked for, but Is of the opinion that If all improve ments asked for were granted the tax rate would be raised to twenty five mills. Te urged the members of the committee to use their efforts to push through the Liberty street extension, which, he stated, they have been looking for the past twen. ty-fiye years. After you have ac- complished that you can proceed to obtain what is the most needed in your section of the city. As far as I know the members of the city government are eager to please the taxpayers in this section of the city and you should not feel that you are being treated unfairly when you do not receive everything asked for" The remarks OI the speaker were we'll received. The members of the committee are becoming somewhat shaky over the agreement which the c. R. & l.. company is supposed to have with the city in regard to putting line on Town Plot next summer. They wanted to know last evening if the agreement of the company would be binding, when the Consolidated road takes charge of the local lines. Although some of them were inclined to think that the Town Plotters would get a taste of the sour fruit Hans Rasmussen still be- lieves that the line will go mp there next summer. If there is tendency to side-track the Town Plot line, the members of the committee are just as we'll prepared and just as ready to fight for what they think are their rights as they were some months ago when they received the promise oi the line to Town Plot. The question as to whether the c. R. & l.. company was really bound to send that long looked for line to Town Plot by its agreement with the city caused much talk at the time. although some claimed that the company was not al all compelled to if 1t did not wish to construct a line on the hill, while others claimed that the mayor could compel 1t to do SO. As 1t is the pros peots for line to Town Plot are not any too promising. Patrick McNa. mara asked Mir Kilduff why the walk which was ordered laid was not put down along the property of the Riv- erside cemetery association on North Riverside street. The ex-mayor stated that he could go ahead and lay the walk and place a lien on the property but declared that the money would have to come out of the street fund which needs all 1t has. The idea of making new street from the Naugatuck station along the route of the railroad tracks to connect with Railroad Hill street was again brought up by the adyocater. Peter Fitzhenry. Attorney Lynch was in. structed to inquire how the New Ha- ven road acquired the right of way. It was voted to pay Mir Lynch for his services. William Lefier, William Nichols and William Farrell were taken into the organization. The next meeting will be held December q.
