Tilt Between Rogers And Chapman In
 The Paving FiasCo

'fWarrenfte'' will be laid son Fairfield avenue from Ash Creek Bridge to State street junction and the Warren gin work Monday. The members of the Paving and Sewer Commission last night gave their permission to start the work. It fs thought there will be no further delay on paving this portion Of Fairfield avenue. There was a lively tilt last night between Col Rogers, chairman Of the Paving Commission and Supt- Chapman of the Connecticut Company as to who was responsible for the delay in paving other portions of Fairfield avenue.
 You had small gangs on Fairfield avenue shifting them about all the time and not keeping them in one place long enough to do the work properly You made mistakes in the grade and all the property owners along the street have been cursing the delay" said Col Rogers.
 'It was not our fault" declared 6upt. Chapman, ''the city has caused this delay. Our company had the street ready for paving long ago.
 This is only a part of the lively tilt which occurred between Col Rog- CTS and Supt. Chapman but at the finish the colonel seemed to have a little the better of the argument.
 The commission also instructed the secretary to advertise for bids for the permanent paving of John street and Park avenue and for sewers on Gol- den Hill street as ordered by the Common Council.
