BOARD OF ALDERMEN
Street Names Decided on and
 Settled Ny Board.

The board of aldermen held a spe- cial meeting last night, Chairman Filling presiding. and approved the report of the board of finance mak- ing an appropriation of $3,500 for the purchase of fifteen foot strip of land on Scovill street, directly east of the engine house.
 A communication was read from the mayor stating that he consid- cred the price offered for the parcel of land on Scovill street high. and adding that he had talked with the owner of the property and learned from him that 1t cannot be bought for less than $3,500. He wished the board to fix the sum which 1t is willing to pay rather than leave It at his discretion.
 When the matter was taken up Alderman Larkin said he considered the price exorbitant, but he would vote for 1t because 1t is thought real ly necessary that the city acquire 1t. Mir Fitzsimons looked at 1t that way, too, and MT Spain said that every body admitted the the price IS high, but when 1t is considered that 1t Is being bought to save one of our en- zine houses 1t makes some diner ence.
 When the question was put to a vote Chairman Filling said mo" and as but ten members were pres ent and it required that number to special appropriation, it looked as if the whole scheme was blocked, but when the chair saw the confu- sion that his vote would make he changed 1t and voted "yes," but be- fore doing this he said that he be- lieved the price too high, but he didn't care to have his vote block something that so many wanted the city to have.
 Then the regular adjourned meet ing got down to business. A rec ommendation of the board of public works relative to street names was read. MT Spain moved that 1t be approved, but MT Walker offered an amendment making the name Mana ney terrace Geddes terrace. This he said was at the request of the prop. erty owners on the street. MT Spain didn't like this idea and thought fl change was to be made there Il l would be we'll to approve such names as were satisfactory and lei this one go back to the board ol public works, but it didn't appear tG be the general opinion, for MT Walk CTS amendment was passed and then the report as amended was adopted The old and new names are as fol lows:
