 Among those who attended the railroad hearing at Hartford yester- day to present the borough's case were Warden Roberts, Borough At torney Sweeney, Borough Engineer Ham, Borough Clerk Beardsley, Fire Chief Clark, Town Clerk Hearns, Burgess Schofleld, President w. c. Hard of the board of trade. Rufus w. Lewis, William Ward and D. P. Mills of the Durham hosiery and several others. It appeared the company had asked for a thirty-six foot high way with two twelve foot sidewalks, but that the commissioners had or dered a forty foot street with no change in the sidewalks. The com pany understood that the street was to be widened at the expense of the sidewalks. making them ten feet each. and ordered their bridge ac- cordingly. It came out last night that sixty-six foot turnpike existed at this point and that although it had been encroached upon by abuttors, the law gave the abuttors no right by occupation and that the members of the board seemed disposed to stand upon their rights. The decision of the commissioners was reserved and in case they decide against the bor- ough there is no question but that an appeal will be taken from their de- cision.

It was voted that William Kennedy be appointed one of the arbiters to adjust the sale of the hose house property to the railroad and the mat ter of consequential damages to be considered. The warden was author ized to sign the necessary papers. This vote brought out some discus sion as to the boards authority in the matter, but Borough Attorney Sweeney advised that the power re- sided in them.
