 "NO Trespassing''
 Mir Curtin last night warned against trespassing, saying, "Woe be to the man who goes on the property now whether he be FERA or borough workers" Warden Sheridan reiterated hls stand that the FERA is responsible for any, thing there now. "This board will accept no part of that Johnson street project whatever" he told Mir Curtin.
 When asked by the warden why he did not bring the matter up be- fore the last administration, MT Curtin said he did not know then where the project was going through.
 "The present administration won't accept any credit for that job," said the warden. II don't know as this administration has improved any since, retorted MT Curtin, who was plumbing inspec- tor in the previous administration, which was republican. The dis cussion ended soon after.
 Stanley Webster of Lounsbury street asked the board to have a surface water condition on that street near his property fixed. He said there was often much water there. He admitted he could not get all residents there to sign petition. as there was i'll feeling among them, he said, due to this water condition. He expressed willingness to waive ali claims for damage if the borough would do the required work on his property and said the owner of the only other property which would be af- fected would be willing also.
 Burgess Leo Brophy, street com mittee chairman. was authorized to investigate and report at the next meeting of the board. A spe- cial meeting in two weeks time Is expected to he held.
 No Report
 At the next meeting the report of the street committee on sug- gested EZRA projects on storm sewers in the North Church street development is expected to be made. MT Brophy informed the board that because of three weeks illness from which he is just recov- ering. he had been unable to in- vestigate this.
 He expressed himself in favor of the borough maintaining the sewers in this section as about two miles of sewers were constructed there at no expense to the bor- ough. He has just got an estimate of the costs of the project to the town there.
 from Mrs James Carroll of 28 Orchard street asking $30 damages for damage done on December 24, 1884. when sewer water backed into her house and damaged the rooms because of an obstruction in the sewer. The matter was re- ferred to the street committee for investigation.

 A request from Burgess Victor Burkus that q fire hydrant be in- stalled on, Nettleton avenue wns referred to the fire committee and will be granted. Burgess Burkus did not discuss the itinerant ordi- nance as expected, saying he had learned the local chief of police plans to enforce the payment of license fees by ,itinerants here in accordance with the ordinance, There was also discussion of the matter of making 1t safe for Groveside school children to go to school. It is expected the plan- ming board may look into this.
 Hydrant Asked
 A request by Burgess Henry Zwick for another hydrant on Acushnet street was referred to the fire committee for investigation. There are two hydrants there now but one has Q very low pressure, Burgess Zwick stated. Burgess Burkus thought the present num- ber Is enough to put out a fire there but Burgess Zwick did not agree. The committee was ordered to flo a complaint with the Nau- gatuck Water Company, if 1t should be learned the water main there Is not large enough.
 Warden John Sheridan asked the burgesses consider the matter of raising the pension of former Police Captain Anthony Malone, ST, from $90 to $100 monthly.
