port on German wages characterizng
II as an attempted interference with
our tariff legislation, has caused a
disagreeable impression in Berlin. The
report, 1t appears, was made at the

Some Day, When Dreams Come ssTrue, Main St. Will
 Be Paved, Perhaps

Tns permanent paving and sewer commission seems to have no more bower to order any part of Main St, paved than the cfty's late and la- Emented tree warden. The commission (which met last night for the specific bpurpose of getting the work started kln South Main street allowed it's good kintentions to be subjugated to the in- ftereets which controls the tracks upon which the Connecticut CO. operates it's Hines. 2
 Supt-<C. H. Chapman of the Con- k necticut Company told the comnlds- sion that the company was in no hur- \ ry to lay its part of the pavement un-
 ltil it had exhausted every step pos sible to lay it's tracks on 10 1t. centers \ in Main street. MT. Chapman appear ed be6ore the, commission twice last night. The first time he said that the company would be able to start it's work in South Main street in a few days as he expected that the Common Council which was then in session would rescind its former action and allow the company to increase the kepace between it's tracks Later he informed the commission that the Fcouncn had turned down the 10 ft- center proposition and it was the in- tention of the railroad to appeal the matter to the railroad cOmIn1SS1On- W. R. Brown of the paving comnis- 1 sion asked his colleagues if there was not some way that the city could or der the railroad to do its part of the work in a stipulated time with the i idea of the city doing the work at the railroads expense at the end of the time limit.
 The commission was agreed that the l city had the right but was not clear
 on the point as to whether the com mission had that power- It was vot- ed to ask the city attorney for an opin- ion on the question.
 Commissioner w. B. Lashar was ot ! the opinion that it was the commis- | eion's duty to get the pavement laid right and as quickly as possible. He 1 was of the mind that it should moi l concern itself in the least with the question of 10 fit. certers.
 President M. H. Rogers during the interval that Supt. Chapman was out of the room said that the superinten- dent had stated that the company
