The estimated cost for paving Baldwin street from Bridge street to Washington street will be $74,300 according to figures submitted at the board of works meeting last night by Charles A.

The first job would cost $58.300 and the second, $16,000. according to MT Roots fig ures. The figures were referred to the street committee of the board for investigation. These estimates such as providing for curbing, side- walks, storm water conduits. re- setting of hydrants, and the sub stitution of six inch water mains for the two inch mains now reposing in the street.
 The board authorized Mayor Frank Hayes to accept the $17,500 from the state of Connecticut as the city's share of the $3,00O,O0O appropria- tion for highway purposes for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892. The board accepted the above amount as it's pro rata sum accord ing to the bill passed by the legis- lature in the present session.
 Superintendent of Streets and Wa ter, Thomas J. Fleming was in- structed to take up the matter of the tree in Wentworth street with the Overlook Cottage Park club. The club sent a request to the board asking that the tree be removed as it now stands in the middle of the street and acts as a menace to traf- fic. MT Fleming was instructed to inform the board that plans are in the works for the layout of a small park in that section, which when completed will find the tree in the center. MT Fleming will carry that message to the club, of which he is member, and also report the feelings of the board who agreed last night with Joyce Kilmer - Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make tree"
 The street committee will inves- tigate the complaint made by a delegation from Frost road of the surface water causing a traffic haz- hard in winter time near Woodland avenue and Hitchcock's brook. A committee of the board will also in- vestigate the complaint of Mrs Sido of Crown street who asked that something be done to keep the young men in that neighborhood from using her retaining wall and fence as d place to congregate all hours of the night.
