 There will be no compromise by the city council in the controversy now pending between the city and Mrs. Zela Stewart of Terryville ave- nue over the proposed re-establish- ment of street lines on Smith street. This decision was reached by the council after the present status Of the case, which will be heard at the September term of the superior court, was explained to that body by Corporation Counsel William N. DeRosier.
 | A few weeks ago attorneys for Mrs. Stewart. Corporation Counsel l William N. DeRosier, and City En- gineer Carleton w. Buell. met on the ground and endeavored to reach an understanding. At that time, law years for Mrs. Stewart expressed a willingness to compromise on a 4O- | foot highway but declined to agree to a 50-foot highway as planned by | the city. The stand taken by the council now precludes all possibility of a settlement outside the courts.
 The matter of establishing the street lines was first brought up sev- tral months ago. At a hearing held at that time all other property own CTS agreed to the layout as proposed by the city and the council accord ingly voted to proceed with the work Mrs. Stewart, who voiced objections to the program through a represon tative, immediately secured an in junction which is still in effect and will remain effective until dissolved by an order of the superior court.
 The original street lines, it is un- derstood, are designated very vague ly on the city records, the houndar- ies being designated by certain tree! CT posts, most of which disappeared number of years ago. Mrs. SteWa1' contends that the original street line! On the east side of the street are the same now as they were originall, and that when the road was narrow
 cd the land reverted to propert, owners on the west side of th' street. This contention is disputed not only by landowners on the wes side but also by the city. At th
 present time the street is but 80 fee wide and at some points too narroN , for two vehicles to pass. The controversy will make it i'm possible for the contemplated worl
 to be carried out this year.
