MORE ADO ABOUT
 FAIRFIELD AVE. PAVING
Paving and Sewer Commission Let Contract For sewer-Letter Sent
 to, Connecticut Go.

A spectra of doubt as to the possi- bility of getting Fairfield avenue pay- 1 ed this year, looms up before the Paw ing ano Sewer commission. It cast it's shadow before the meeting of that commission last night. It arises from Connecticut Co. with regard to the ten foot center question. City Engi- neer Terry at a previous meeting stat ed that unless The Connecticut Co. saw fit to raise it's tracks to lev- el with the new paving, the tracks will would thus result There is some question as to the likelihood of fore. ing the trolley company to comply with the order of the city that the tracks be raised to a level. Col. Mat thew H. Rogers. chairman of the com mission stated that the street will be paved this year to the fullest extent that the city is allowed to go and he is upheld in his stand by other members of the commission, no matter if if is possible to lay only "a wheel barrow track on each side.'
 The contract to construct the sewer in Fairfield avenue was let out last night to The Pierce Manufacturing Co.,, and the contractors were limited to 30 days in which to do the work the contractor push the work with all possible dispatch. There were three bids received on the sewer work. They were from The Burns Co, The Pierce Manufacturing Go. and The B. D. Pierce Jr., Co.
 The Pierce Manufacturing Co, bid as follows. 525 feet of 20 inch pipe, $5.70 per foot; 160 feet, 30 inch pipe $6 98 per foot.
 B. D. Pierce, Jr., Co, bid s5.95 on the 20 inch pipe and $7.45 on the 30 inch pipe and The Burns Co. bid $6.20 on the 20 inch pipe and $774 on the 30 inch pipe.
 So that the company can push the work the commission suggested that some of the company's best men on the West End trunk sewer work be put to work on the Fairfield avenue West End job will be granted. The company was given 30 days to do the work beginning Monday.
 I In regard to getting the trolley com pany to lay its tracks on the grade set by the city engineer, there was some do that shouldn't come from the Com mon Council rather than from the Paving and Sewer commission. The Common Council will not meet again until Aug. and if action of the coun- cil is required there will be some de- lay unless there is special meeting. It was decided to send the following letter to the trolley company: The Connecticut Co, New Haven,
 Conn.
 Gentlemen The Common Council of. the City of Bridgeport has direct ed that Fairfield avenue, between Main street and Park avenue, be pay- ed This Commission is informed by the City Engineer that, before this or der can be compiled with, the grade of the avenue between said points, is to be changed. and of course neces-
