Dutton had promised to visit the Fall Mountain road and said that the city official had failed to keep his word. This aroused Mr. Dutton's ire and he show cd conclu- sirely that he had visited the street. Mayor W>se was also scored but came off with honors even.
 The council was treated 10 soms other comedy in the request Of Nelson Gay for the improvement of this road : way, when after being questioned, he admitted that he was in the town of Wolcott and that he conducted a tav- ern there. He said, however, in de- fense of his appearance that he in- tended later to buy property in this city and thus have a right as tax payer 10 ask for improvements, After battle Of words. the council explained to Mrs. Hare that the over Nhelming demand for street work. following the recent storms, has made it impossible 10 give immedia atten- tion to her respective roadway, but that il would be improved as soon a. possible. The street committee agreed Fin the course Of time to make it a Boulevard as far as possible"
