Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-05-21

thus far eluded the police, and it
 looks now as if the man who suc-
 ceeded in pulling off such good scheme of this sort will never be
 heard from in connection with this
 case.
 The new board of warden and bur- gesses held meeting last night,
 every member being present. After l approving of the appointments made l at the last previous meeting, the re- port of the borough treasurer for the month of April was read and ap-
 proved. Michael Mccarthy appeared before the board and asked that an electric light be placed on South Main street. The old board voted Fthat this light be put in, but there wasn't money enough in the lighting | appropriation to allow it to be done. l The matter was referred to the street lighting committee. Victor Woer-
 mer has been frequent visitor to | the boards meeting, asking that the | borough pay him the sum of $35U in settlement of the claim made by him that his wife was injured by falling on an icy sidewalk last win
 ter. He appeared before the board | again last evening and asked that something be done for him, but as he failed to comply with the laws requirements in relation to this mat ter the board was powerless to act
 in the case. Thomas OLoughlin, | who is now warden of the borough, resigned as a member of the board
 of charities, and John J. German was appointed to fill the vacancy. A pro- test signed by twenty-one taxpayers
 on North Main street against any sprinkling being done on that street for which they will be assessed was | read by the clerk, and after a heated argument between Burgess Daly and
 John Green, one of the petitioners, the matter was referred to the street committee. Richard Neary was
 granted sewer plumbers license. and Michael Fannish & Son, junk
 dealers, license. The street commit tee was instructed to report all de- fective sidewalks and crosswalks in the borough. J. H. Dunn presented a bill for repairing crosswalks at Linden and Main streets and Smith and Main streets. The bill amounted
 to $50 and was ordered pid, and an-
 other one for S27 for recoating walk
 near Davis's feed store on North Main
 street, but the board thought the
 bill excessive and refused to pay it. Dr William J. Delaney presented a
 bill for $20 for attending meetings
 of the board of education from July l., 1905, to January 1, 1908. The bill was ordered paid. The matter of bringing the sidewalks n'front of the Andrew property on Church street to proper grade was referred
 to the street committee. The bonds
 of Treasurer George T. Wigmore and
 Bailiff Richard Durkin were ap-
 proved. The road superintendent
 was instructed to repair the bridge
 over Salem brook near the residence
 of Amos Culver on High street. A petition signed by many of the bor-
 ough's representative citizens asking
 that North Church street be widened
 and graded, and Burgess Westbrook
 started in to deliver an eloquent ad- dress in favor of it, but was abruptly
 hindered from doing so by Burgess
 Daly, and the matter was laid on the table indefinitely. The borough en-
 gineer was instructed to prepare
 plans and profile for storm sewer from Woodbine street to the Nauga-
 tuck river. The warden was author
 ized to call out commissioners on
 benefits and damages on High, Car
 roll and School streets. The board
 then voted to adjourn until May 27, 1onQ
