all members present except Governor
Woodruff, held two hour public
hearing in City hall last evening with
the subject matter of permanent paw
ings for seventeen streets as the In
centive. Several OF the streets were
completely deserted, no one speaking
in their behalf while none aroused very
great excitement.
State street. from Chapel street to
the Mill River bridge, was one of the
important streets taken up. Alderman
Loos, Samuel We'll and A Kellogg APP
peared to speak on this pavement. All
wanted hard pavements, macadam or
bithulithic, but Mr.. Kellogg wanted
wooden blocks or something else that
would make a noiseless pavement. T.
H. Osborne representing the Connecti-
cut company, suggested granite pave
ment rather than one Of concrete or
over concrete formation. He stated
that the railroad was ready to have
the work go on from Elm street north
but was not ready from Elm to Chapel.
Alderman John o. johnson, former
acting mayor, appeared for st, Roman
street. He thought the street needed
the pavement badly and suggested that
a macadam pavement would be the
right thing. An amusing incident oc-
Cured when Mr.. Johnson was about
to sit down Chairman Max Adler ask
ed him what his name was. He re-
piled slnillngly, johnson, Alderman
Jonhson."
Carlisle street found several hackers.
"a crushed stone pavement was asked
for. Among those who appeared We're:
Michael #. O'Keefe, Thomas Hutchin-
son and Mrs. Mary A. Baldwin. For
the trolley company Mr. Osborne stated
that this street was in the category
with a number Of others, being one
where it is intended to lay heavier rails
but the company is unable to procure
the rails for work this year.
On the same score Mr. Osborne ask
ed that action on the paving Chapel
street between the railroad cut and
East street be postponed for another
year as the road could not get ready
for 1t. No one else appeared in re-
gard to this. Mr.. Osborn suggested "a
granite block pavement for this street
Church and Meadow streets received
the same request for delay from the
Connecticut company Mr.. Osborn ex-
plained that the company had received
all the rails it could get for the year
and that these all were used in places
where they were badly needed Mr..
ADLER remarked that 1t would hardly do
to pave Church street this year on ac-
count Of its having been opened so
many times during the past year. He
said 1t would be practically impossible
to open that street this year.
Plymouth street came up next. P. H
Phelan Of 1928, opened the case. He
said it was the fifth time he had ap-
peared In behalf of this street, once
having been before the now defunct
beard Of councilmen. He was told that
it was not paved a year ago because OF
lack of money. Patrolman John Cartin
favored a crushed stone pavement He
explained that the dust in the street
was a great nuisance to the dwellers
there. Henry Fink, Michael Reardon
and Frank Stanley were others who
appeared for this street. Mr.. Reardon
said he hoped they would get it this
time to which Mr.. tAdler replied: "Well
think you'll get it this time,
Attorney Talcott H. Russell strongly
urged the paving of Sachem street. HI
said 1t should be paved very soon be.
cause there was no difficulty over tht
rails, because there was a great amount
of heavy traffic over the part between
Winchester avenue and Prospect street
and because after the assessments OF
property owners and railroad were pait
the cost would be very small.
Alderman Johnson and Charles Nicol
also appeared in behalf Of Hachen
street.
Alderman Loos recommended mac
adam pavements for Nicoll and Clarl
streets. No one else appeared for them
Winthrop avenue, from Chapel stree
to Whalley avenue, had several repre-
sentatives. Among them were Repre-
sentative Frank Lehr, Daniel ]. Hur.
lev and M. J. O'Meara. Among those
who asked for the paving of Edgewoot
avenue were T. Whipple, ]. M. Marvin
and John T. Doyle.
Oak, Hill, Center and Court streets
were passed by there being no repre-
se1tation for any of them.
After fhe conclusion Of the advertis
ed hearing Daniel F. Kelly requested
the commission to consider the pavinj
OF Rosette street, between Howard ave
nue. and Morris street, which, he said
had been ordered by the boaRl of al
dermen October 5, 1903. He said tn
people on that street felt ignored il
that their street had not been included
in the list advertised for the hearing
John Scobie also spoke for Rosett
street. Mr. Kelly Included a plea 70
Dewitt street from Columbus avenue t
Lemberton street, in his remarks.
Max Adler told him that the commits
sioDers could not act On any matte
without advertising, but would TAX
them up at its next meeting.
