 market places and was referred to the ordinance committee with the rec
 ommendation thta report be sub mitted at the next meeting so that
 the places may be started as soon l as possible. The other referred to the
 result of the bonding election and rec
 omm mendatfon that a Stratford bridge icommission of five members be se- lected, the. members to serve without
 recompensation. fUpon resolution in I troduced by Alderman Miller this au- lthorization was given.
 1 In the first communication it was shown that two pieces of land are available for the market places One through the nberality of Mrs. Mary Curtis and the other offered by the the southwest corner of Main and Grand streets and the other on Cres- cent avenue opposite the plant of the
 Bridgeport Brass Go. The understand ing under which the plant is offered I is that no buildings shall be erected
 
 clean and sanitary at all times and be surrendered at any time upon re- quest of the. owners.

No objection was seen Ito the selling of small quantities of meats when the meats have been pro- duced by the vendor and properly in- spected. small license fee was suggested for the purpose of proper police attention with the power Of. re- vocation in eases where it is shown that several have combined for the purpose of setting or keeping up prices.
 i Tn the second communication the his- Itory of the two votes on the bonding issues were reviewed. Regret was expressed that the East Washington lavenue bridge issue did not pass on the ground that it retards the full devel- Iopment of the Peuuonnock river until the foundations of the present bridge Tor a new bridge will allow further dredging in that location.
