end of the town to the city. He
deprecated the perennial revival of the
subject and wished to have the mat
ter settled to the satisfaction OF that
board which, being composed of hon
orable men, would not repeat its en-
deavors after it had once and for all
been assured that there was no sentt-
ment in the town in favor Of it. He
recommended the appointment of
committee to ascertain the sentiment
of the people of the west end. Sena-
tor Judson said that if the residents
of this section who had shown con-
siderable dissatisfaction of late really
wished to be annexed to Bridgeport he
thought there should be no objection on
the part of the remainder of the town.
The purpose was to ascertain just

for. it, his suggestion was adopted and
the following committee was appoint
