Will Not Touch Part Be- tween West Main and Myrtle Streets-Attempt to Block Hart's $500 Fails.

After a discussion between mcm- bcrs of the common council and City Engineer J. D. Williams over the recommendation of the board Of public works relative 10 estab- lishment Of street and building lines on Washington street between Myrtle and Broad streets, the council voted los. night 10 accept that portion Of the boards report affecting the street between Myrtle and Broad streets. and rejected the recommendation which would fix a building line of six and one-hall feet between West Main and Myr- tie streets.
 Councilman D. L. Bartlett led the opposition, saying he is par ticularly opposed to the proposed building line between Myrtle and West Main streets because it would create a condition where, at any time in the future, the American Hardware corporation, the owners Of the Professional building and the Burritt hotel, could he ordered to alter their properties to comply with the building line at consider able expense and loss of business and the city would then be put 10 a heavy expense to compensate them for their losses.
 He believes, he said, that High l. by converted into the outlet for traffic which the board of public works plans to create on Washing ton street. There would not be heavy expense caused on High street because the properties affect ed contain no buildings which would have to be altered, or 1t would be possible 10 bridge the Lock Shop pond and connect Cedar street with Grove street to provide the traffic outlet.
 Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of the sixth ward questioned the nec- sssity for widening Washington street. He said the traffic on Elm street. Hartford avenue, and other streets is far greater than that on Washington street. and if the street is widened at the Broad street end and not at the West Main street end, @ bottle-necked condition will result and conditions will be worse than at present. Councilman Cad well said trees could be removed to provide room on both sides oi the street.
 The sections of the report of the board of public works which were adopted, are as follows; Resolved; By the common council of the city of New Britain that street lines 4 feet apart be and the same ar' hereby provisionally laid out or

return. He moved to table the rec ommendation.
 Councilman Nair interrupted the alderman to say that a motion to table is not debatable, therefore tho alderman could not discuss it. The alderman promptly withdrew the motion to table, Whereupon the councilman moved to adopt the resolution, Alderman Johnson then explained that an itemized bill of expense should be acted on after the convention and the chief should not be given $500 outright before he leaves for Chicago. He moved to table the recommendation of the police board but alone voted for the motion.
 Councilman Hausmann inquired If an itemized bill will be presented and Alderman Johnson replied that it has not been done in the past Councilman Fay said the school su- perintendent attends conventions in all parts of the country and no quee- tions are asked He believed it is good policy for the city departments to be represented at conventions, as they are instructive. The recom- mendation of the board to give Chief Hart $500 before he leaves for the convention was adopted.
 GrLybowski Elected Alderman
 At the special council meeting held just before the regular meeting. Councilman B. A. Grzybowski was elected alderman in the fifth ward to succeed Stanley A. Karpinski. The new alderman resigned as council man and was immediately sworn in as alderman and appointed a mem Der of the finance committee. Due 10 complications relative to the poli- tical party affiliations of stephen Charamut, who was to have been elected councilman, no mention was made of filling the vacancy.
 At the regular meeting. numerous petitions for street improvements were received and referred to the board of public works. Among them was a resolution signed by Alder man Grzybowski ct al that the lighting system on Broad street be changed and white way" lights similar to those on Main street, in- stalled.
 George S. Fischer Of 73 Woodland street petitioned for relief from sur face water from the Valentine B Chamberlain school property, also that he be paid S1O0 for damage done to his property by the water It was referred to the claims com mittee, corporation counsel and the | board of public works.
 Abattoir Appropriation 1 The health department requested an appropriation of S25,000 for the addition to the municipal abattoir and reported contracts for the work Councilman Nair inquired Of pr. R w. Pullen, superintendent Of health as to the possibility of saving about S2,o00 by accepting the lowest bids and the superintendent said the bil of $6,4S0 for the machinery was favored over a bid of $3,250 be. cause it is desired to install cn. tirely automatic machinery in order that no increase in the personnel a tho abattoir may be necessary. | was voted, after 8 discussion, tc table the matter until the next coun cil meeting, which will probably b. held next week and Dr. Pullen vii
