BEER TO BE HIGHER
State Brewers Decide to Raise Price of Com
 mod.ty.
TO WAIT THREE MONTHS
Retail Dealers Planning to Cut Down Size of
 Glasses.

The State Brewers association, with every member present, met at the Hotel Garde yesterday afternoon and decided to raise the price of beer. The amount of the raise was not decided upon and so the cost to the retailer will remain for the present the same, but the dealers will meet in a few days and decide on the first advance.
 The reason that the brewers yes- terday did not decide on a regular ad- vance was that they could not unite on how great this advance should be. After the meeting one of the men said that the price of the raw material continues to rise and that it would be better for the brewers to wait little while and then make substantial increase than to raise the price of the wholesale article twice.
 The retailers instead of raising the price to six cents glass will again cut down the size of the glasses as they have time and time again for the past six or seven years. In about three months the brewers will an nounce their increase and then the retailers will be raady with their smaller glasses to supply the demand for the fluid.
 N w. Kendall, president of the Yale Brewing company, presided at the meeting at the Garde hotel yes terday afternoon.

 HOT DISCUSSION Many Business Men Call For Immediate Action and Favor Some Com
 promise.
SOME SAY CITY CAN
 PROCEED AT ONCE
Attorney Coyle Declares That Property is City's Under Charter and
 Work is in Order.

One of the most vigorous public hearings that has been held in City hall in many months was that which was held last evening by the street committee on the proposition of wheth- ther or not the compromise proposed With the Bishops for the purchase of their property by the city on State street should be recommended by the committee or whether the matter should be allowed to take it's way in the court inasmuch as the Bishops has refused the price which the bureau of compensation had offered them. A number of prominent business men in the vicinity favored the payment of the proposed price of $55,OOO which they considered fair one for the property and urged that there be no longer de- lay than absolutely requisite in com pleting the work.
 w. N. Parsons of the Chamberlin Furniture company opened the argu- nlent by calling attention to the incon- venience which his firm was suffering he claimed on account of the failure to open the street. He characterized the early opening of the street as neces- sity. Ill conclusion he said, we do not want to say to you to pay this sum or that, but we do not think that a few thousand dollars either way should stand in the way of this improvement. should stand for $55, 900 if necessary and We would oe willing to sacrifice several thousaad dollars from our es- innate of the value of the place to ac- complish the end sought"
 Dr. Kelly also favored the comprorlA- ise, his stand being that it would De unwise on behalf of the taxpayers to carry the matter Into court.
 i F. c. Bushnell, who by letter sug- gested the appointment of an arbitra- tion board at the last meeting held on the matter appeared in person last eve- ming. He said he had come to see what the matter was as he could not under stand why the city cannot get together with the property owners and pay what the property is worth "Any one who knows anything about State street property" he said, Knows that it is WOI LII b BiNLt ucil HsOiS llON liluli IL was five years ago. Going to law about the matter would be unjust to the property owners ard to the taxpayers of New Haven I don't think the city should have forced them to a law suit"
 Attorney Charles Coyie, who appear cd to hold a brief for the Taxpayers, opposed to the compromise, asked Mr.. Bushnell at this point whether or not he paid taxes on any real estate in this city He replied that he did not pay on cent of real estate, but did on his business, MT. Parsons remarked that he must pay good deal on that whereat Mir, Coyle turned to him and said that If he wished to argue with him he was rcldy.
 The incident was closed by the rising of John P. Augur, who said he thought the Bishops had made a fair offer in the price of $55,O0O and he furthsr thought that the estate was worth as much as $600O0

WORK ON NEW PIER Already Started on New Summer Attraction at
 Savin Rock. OLD CAR STATION GOES Hoses to be Used to Blow Out Holes for the
 Spiles.
OLD CAR STATION GOES

Work was started yesterday on the new pier which is to be built by a Brooklyn syndicate at Savin Rock, starting in front of Cameron's Sea View hotel The men made a survey of the place Wednesday and yesterday starting the actual work of demolfshing the present wooden buildings which in terfere with the right of way to the proposed pier.
 To-day the work preparatory to driy- ing the spiles will commence. Long hose will be lowered under the water and into the mud and the stream will then be turned on with greatest possible force to drive openings into the mud into which to st,ck the spiles.
 This work of driving the spiles into the mud will take several days as the pier Is to be very long one and the mud at the Rock is so shifting that deep openings will have to be made.
 Yesterday the old trolley station, which was used when the cars used to come along Beach street, was torn down. The buildings which were own Ci Dy MI. SdhislOll ileiN' llOt pSCil uoSu for several years, but the other struc- lures which are to go were In use last summer.
 The contractors expect that the work will be finished about the middle of January and through the spring at fractions will be built on and about the pier in order that everything may be ready for a big rush of business next summer. The plans have been slightly modified, the Brooklyn parties having decided not to have quite such a long pier as was at first planned If the experiment is a success, the pier may be enlarged the following year.
