BoaId Of Pubic Works Grants
 Three Important Petitions.

After hearing the sentiment of in terested property owners, the board of public works last night granted three Important petitions; one for a sewer In Sunrise avenue from East street 10 Wilbur street, another for a sewer in Grove street from Myrtle street 10 Lafayette street, and third for the sprinkling of Broad street rom Silver street to Burritt street The board also took important action as regards the purchase of manhole covers and catch basin covers.
 Sunrise Avenue Sewer.
 The first business of the meeting was the hearing on the Sunrise avenue sewer. David Nelson expressed him sef as being in favor of the proposi- tlon. He asked if the property own CTS on both sides of the street would be assessed for it and received mega tive answer. Charles Wunch said that he was also favorable to the plan. John Harrison said that there was very urgent need for the improve ment. The conditions are very bad, he said, and, inasmuch as he is just building three-tenement house, he was decided sympathizer with the petition. Albert Stromquist spoke for the sewer and Albert Carlson, who fol- lowed him, told of the fact that he is having very much trouble with cess pools and. for that reason, if for no other, he was anxious to see the inn provement made very soon. He said that unless the sewer was put in be- fore long, he would have to move. John Strobel stated that he was op- posed to the proposition. He had barely time to be seated before MT. Harrison arose to take him to task for changing the stand which he took on the matter last year. He could see no reason why MT. Strobel should oppose the improvement now, he said, when he was a strong supporter of 1t last year. He did not think that MT. Strobel should adopt this attitude sim- ply because he had moved away from the street.
 Sprinkling Broad Street.
 A representative of the Polish Bak- ing company and number of other foreign-born residents appeared to speak for the sprinkling of Broad street. The Grove street sewer propo- sition brought out only @ very few. The New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad company, through a spe- cial representative, registered an ob- jection to the plan.
 The board voted to recommend the granting of all of the petitions.
 The next step of the board was to give John H. Harrison leave to with draw his petition for permission to place a gasoline pump and tank on .he Erwin property on East Main street, near the west line of the said property. f. s.@~ a < K s.stss.f fz 2,z z,s..
