 Burgess Zwick had vote passed to have repairs made to the East Waterbury road starting at Maple Tree Hill and running to the junction of the two East Wa terbury roads. He also had the board instruct the borough en- gineer to prepare plans to elim- mate the s turn on the Deep Hollow road. Residents of the OK ford road petitioned the board to have repairs made. Mir Curtiss who resides in the section stated that there was q bad corner at the junction of the so-called Gunn- town road that was grown over with brush that hides the view. There have been many narrow es- capes from serious accidents at the point he said.
 The brush is on private property and there was question as to what the board could do in the matter. It was referred to En- gineer Beardsley and Supt of Streets German was instructed to have the brush growth taken care of.
 Permission was granted to the Naugatuck Water Co to lay d six-inch main on West Main street. The Waterbury Gas Light company was granted permission n to lay four-inch main on Hill- side avenue. north of New street. This street has been recently oiled and the board members expressed the opinion that the street would be put back in as good condition as 1t is at present. The board ap- proved of the claim of S15 for chickens killed by stray dogs pre- sented by Joseph Holibaugh of High St. At last board meeting the sum of $5.5o was awarded to Frank Arendholz of the New Ha- ven road for chickens killed by stray dogs. MT Arendholz ap- peared before the board last night in relation to the claim. He put in q bill originally for $2O. but the board cut this down as only II of the 20 chickens killed were found. After discussing the mat ter the board voted to grant MT Arendholz another $7.
 The Naugatuck Hose, Hook and Ladder company will receive a check for $500 instead of $25O in the past. This money was includ- ed in the fire deparmtent bud- get.
