Fleming Commended
 For Splendid Work
Board of Works Gives Official Recognition of Street
 Superintendent's EffOrts-Bank Loses Request

Superintendent of Streets Thom- as J. Fleming was given unan- imous commendation by the board of works last night for the man. ner in which the streets and cross walks were kept sanded during the recent ice storms. Commissioner James A. Phelan declared that the work done by Superintendent Fleming was the best the city has even seen. Mayor Frank Hayes and the other works commissioners joined in praising the record main tained by the street department during the storms.
 Last nights meeting was fea- tured by the absence of petition CTS. Nobody appeared to ask for improvements. It was figured that this was due to the fact that the streets are now covered with ice and snow, thereby causing property owners to realize that it would be practically impossible to make surface repairs or install water mains and sewers.
 Bank Request Denied
 The board refused the request of the Colonial Trust company ask Ing TOT CTeOlI or $Z0 on water service bill paid by the concern for the building formerly occupied by the Waterbury hotel. The sprink- Ter system was shut off during No- vember and the bank explained that notification of the water de- partment, in accordance with the usual rules, had not taken place. Mayor Hayes said that he made similar mistake In one of his own buildings recently but paid the bill, feeling that 1t was his own error and not that of the water depart ment.
 Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor and the engineering de- partment approved of the plans of the Connecticut Light and Power company calling for the installa- tion of several underground vaults in and near Exchange place. The board granted permission for the work with the proviso in the agreement that the vaults must be removed or modified in size if the city ever makes q demand of this
