 | The Paving and Sewer Commission
 reported that The New York, New | Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
 pany and The Connecticut Company | intend to take up at once the presen 1 tracks on Fairfield avenue from Mair street to Water street and lay new
 tracks on that portion of said avenue ] ana will lay the same along the pres. 1 ent centre lines, accepting as final the | decision of your honorable body re- fusing to grant permission for ten-foo1 i centres on said street; and they have not taken any appeal to the Railroad
 Commissioners from the action of youl honorable body relative to Fairfield avenue. Said companies also intend to newly pave the portion of said ave- pue covered by their right of way, with | brick.
 would not be good policy or good Judgment to endeavor to place back or relay. on the City's portion of said
 avenue, the old, badly-worn brick now
 there, but that the Cfty's portion ought to be newly paved.
 With this purpose in view the pas
 sage of the following resolution is
 recommended:
 Resolved, That the City Clerk is
 hereby directed to cause legal notice

 to appear before the Common Council
 at the Council Chamber in said city,
 on Monday evening". September 20tll, 1909, at o'clock and be heard relative
 to the paving of Fairfield avenue. from
 Main street to Water street.
 Adopted.
 The same Commission reported rela- tive to the brick paving of Main street from Atlantic street south to the
 southerly terminus of said street, as
 yeIx oy,1o 1,r,1 IoJ Jo body. That all the materials required for the city's portion of the work are now. and have been for some time available. awaiting the proper time to begin the work and prosecute 1t to completion.
 But that owing to the disagreement between the city and the street rail- way company relative to centres, due to the refusal of your honorable body
 to allow the company to place it's tracks on the centres asked for, the company is not ready to proceed with the work but has taken an appeal from your action to the Railroad Commis- sloners. and the robabilities are, un- reached between the City and the Company, that the work of paving South Main street may not be done this year.
 It seems to this Commission that it would not be unreasonable to grant the street railway company permis- sion to construct it's tracks on that portion Of Main street, from Atlantic street south. on the same centres as the tracks are on that portion of Main street from Atlantic street north to Gilbert street. which this Commission Is informed is practically on nine feet ten inch centres. That portion of Main street. from Atlantic street south, is probably the least travelled portion of said street and in the judgment of this Commission no great public inconveni- ence will result if the street railway company is permitted to continue the location of tracks southerly from At lantic street on the same centres as now exist, from Atlantic street north- erly to Gilbert street. If your honor able body can see your way clear to do this all obstacles to the paving of Main street. southerly portion. will be removed. With this object in view, this Commission recommends for adop- tion the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That permission is here by granted to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com pany to locate it's street railway tracks so:1therly on the same centre lines, to wit: Nine feet, ten inches, as the tracks of said company are now To- cated, on said Main street. from At lantic street northerly to Gilber
 Resolved, That said company is hereby directed to proceed forthwith to locate it's tracks as aforesaid, on said centre lines, and complete the To- cation of such tracks and the brick paving of Main street from Atlantic street to the southerly terminus of I Main street. within thirty (30) days from the date of the passage of this | resolution.
 Adopted.
