SOME HOPES THAT
FAIRFIELD AVENUE
WILL BE PAVED
But Not Without Granting Con
cession to Connecticut Com
pany - Mayor Wilson Pro
. poses to Widen ; Street ;: and
Traction Company Agrees to
Stand Expense ;
'
Through communication with Presi
dent Charles S. Meilen of the Connec
ticut Co., Mayor , Wilson believes . he
' has "secured promise of ; cp-operation
from; that company in. connection' with
the ten-foot center question Vin. Pair
field avenue. , The Mayor submitted a
message to the Common Council last
night in which a I proposition providing
for the widening of the . street by
shoving back , the . curbing, was offer
ed.. ' The . expense- of th'is work would
be , borne , by the Oornneticut Co., if
that company, is exempt ; from prop
erty damages resulting from this im
provement.- In .'consideration for the
company's ; alleged r generosity, the
Mayor proposes that , the- city with
draw its appeal from -the decision of
the Public Utilities Commission t and
grant the traction company, the right
to lay ten-foot centers in -Fairfield
avenue from Main street to Courtland
street. , ; v ; i '. . .
' The Mayor's message, mentioned 'the
opinion of City Attorney Pullman arid
former City Attorney Thomas Ml- Cul
linan, ; which was to the effect that
the city has little chance of getting a
favorable decisian." , This part of i the
message called for criticism from ' Al
derman ; Robert H. . DeForest who
thinks it peculiar - that the city attor
neys had not informed the , Common
CounciL of thia.vbefore. . ,)Thei;message
was finally referred to the Streets and
Sidewalks -committee, 'r-yy-fc- 7 - '
Mayor 'WIIboii ih his message ex
plained the present status of . the case.
He said" that Fairfield : avenue should
be paved -this year because of Its de
plorable condition.- A motion to dis
miss the case was argued in the Su
perior-court, Friday,' June ,14, and as
the court-' year closes In ' a. very short
time, the, city 'attorney : advises that
the 'appeal cannot be 1 heard on its
merits until fall, too late to repave
Fairfield avenue this year. . The May
or siad that he .was actuated ,Jy
desire to, ;see-.;What . could- be' ;doh.",to-
tlbut Co.'V and wrote to President ?Mel4
len. ' In his letter to MeHeSfetherSfay
pr offered .this suggeeuon; 'frnej; tracjts
of - your company v arevf m ,raepioraje

rtew? ahd heavier-' rails' at vonoe, -s . We
are very desirous of paving this street
this summer out do ' not'-with: to doso
until.-yourr' company .'relays !lts tracks.
. J "In the event of. the Common Coun-
clt voting ' to 1 wfthdraiwJ the suife - -for
court and permitting; your compa.uyo'
relocate Its track: on teja-roqt.cenTers
on this street, would you-be i-wuling
to bear' the. expense wfcich ' the pdssir.
ble- setting back of curb would neces
Bitate? The' narrowest secuon. or xne
street is from Main to v Courtland
streets, a distance .'of approximately
1,680 feet, and I am of the opinion
that Fairfield avenue rom Courtland
street to Park avenue would not have
to be widened to, accommodate your
tracks. - ' ' ' ' " '
"If I would have your . assurance
that this4 would" be done I think that
possibly the Common Council .would
consent "to the withdrawal of the case
from court and thus v enable- tis to- pro
ceed at once with this "work." "
In reilv to - this- the -Mayor- receiyed
a , letter : from Vice President XL : S.
Storrs, to whom - his letter .was re
ferred by President Meilen, , in which
Mr. Storrs; writes: ; '
"I ; appreciate the offer and .would
be perfectly willing to recommend un-.
dertaking the labor of setting back
curbs as you suggests. orbvlded twe are
not by any chance asked to stand any
If therefore, you will advise me' defi
nitely, just wiat you, wish !.us uh
dertake in connection with . setting
back of these curbs, I ' will be very glad
indeed to call upon you and close the
matter to our mutual satisfaction."
, The tvroDOsed widenine of the street
would! according to the Mayors make
inbre than ample room for the pass
age of vehicles.. Without the widen
ing and with the tracks located in the
center of ; the street, : any. average
truck or vehicle which can now stand
by the curb and allow the trolley cars
to pass the nine-foot centers," ' would
be able . to stand free or-the trolley
cars, on ten-foot centers. . The-clear
ance on each sidV from passing trol
ley carst to the -v curb on ten-foot cen
ters would be: eight feet three inches,
and by setting back to curb five or
six iriches, which expense the - Con
necticut Co. would ; bear, would allow
Just so much ' more clearance on each
side of the roadway. ' 4 "
Alderman DeForest considered that
the communication threw a new status
upon the case of the city against the
trolley company. ''It seems to me that
if the city attorneys knew that the
city had no case against the company
as they seemingly now declare.- they
should; have made it known before,?'
he said. ,; . "There has been a good
deal, of discussion as to who has been
to blame for holding up , the pavement
of-this street and many, different ver
sions have been given,- each in accord
to the prejudice of the one giving the
information.- ' - -
"It would", appear to . me that there
are two causes for the delay in . this
work. One cause is -tho persistent
stubbornness of the . traction company
in hanging on, tooth and nail, in ev
erything opposed to the . interests ' of
the city, and refusing to give the city
any grace when they think they have
any legal or other rights. '
Another cause seems to be this
startling information coming at this"
late date from the city attorney which ,
tells us that we haven't -any case
against fthe trolley company. This,
is an unusual situation. v When train
ed - attorneys allow the city to con
tinue litigation, expensive and ..both
ersome, knowing that the city has
no case it seems peculiar to me. I
should like to know why this board
of aldermen was allowed' to-continue, '
blindly along, and not Informed as to
the true circumstances in .the .case. . . ,
.Alderman Daniel E. Walker' modest "
ly stated that he had -been, one.. of ,
those blamed for the delay in paving
Fairfield avenue. - He declared his
stand in the matter which is a deter
mination to have the courts decide th
ten foot center question thatthe coun
cil may be guided by such decision in
future action. He said that he va
as much interested in securing the Re
pair of Fairfield avenue as anyone and
wanted to see the work started early.
Hie -thought it rifs(lr however, to
grant the trolley company concessions
which would ultimately mean that a
foot of land be taken from the side
walks at the -expense of the proper ty
owners, for the sole purpose of givinsr
to the traction company, wider cen
ters, This property damage he thought
should be borne by The Connecticut
Co: -.,' . .
.The communication was referred to
the streets and sidewalks committee.
; The public hearings before the coun
cil last night were brief. .No opposi
tion developed ln connection- with thp
petition of the Connecticut Co. for ten
foot centers on Pnxum ;;avenue.-,
Supt. C. H. Chapman appeared in
behalf of The Connecticut Co., seeking
the approval of the company's petition-
for ten foot oenters on Baxnu-'
avenue from .Sea view avenue to Cen
tral" avenue. Alderman George W. King
asked the width of the centers ...-west
of .Seaview avenue to Noble -aven'uei
Supt. Chapman replied that the. .width
was nine feet four inches. - ;The'vAl
derman then asked why the 'tracks
were not laid on ten-foot centers in
that section. The reply wasvthjMfthe
street. was too narrow at that'jtimc. ,
The. hearings on the petition t& ex
tend over the building line Ott-Ham-ilton
street and on paving Park avenue-
from Fairfield avenue to Washing
ton '.avenue, were called without any
one.' appearing, either In favor or" in
opposition.
Mayor Wilson then . read . his . com
munication relative to the condition of
Fairfteld avenue. ,
Petitions of a routine nature were
then ; received and most of them re
ferred to the respective committees.
Unanimous consent was .asked for a
petition of -I. P. Turney'to -maintain
a: booth at ;'the corner, of . State street
and , HowarcT avenue, "from 'whicli. to
seUf fireworks. Alderman Walker who
moved for unanimous consent explain
ed, that the booth, . had. been allowed
each year. The petition Was granted.
' The report of the Finance committee
was approved . . and .' adopted." " The
bonds, of Dennis Kelly, sealer of
weights and measures, and Superinten
dent Fred JR. Johnson, of the Chari
ties Department, were accepted. ..
- The public library commission., sub
mitted its annual report which was
accepted to be printed in the munici- 1
pal; yeaT book. A supplementary re
port f named the commission's election
of. new directors, v s r . .;
.The report of the committee on sew
ers'-was accepted and the recommenda
tions contained therein were adopted.
Similar action was taken on the re
ports of the Fire department commit
tee "of the council; the board of Ap
praisal and mmg ana sewer uom
mission. , . ' . 1
The city auditor submitted a report
containing a resolution that the $500
voted previously to toe . used by the
Board of Contract and Supply for the
purchase ' of . stamped envelopes, be
used for the purchase of . stamps and
envelopes. The report was received
and the resolution adopted.
Unanimous consent was granted to
Alderman Reddy's resolution f or the
construction of sidewalks - in the al
leyway west of the High School, rom
Congress street ot Arch- street, arid
the resolution was adopted. : Alder-!
man Iiyddy submitted a resolution to
have a change made in Cue location

committee. -
Alderman - Cederholm . rasked -iwhy
something hadn't been dene toward
construoting a , sidewalk' on fieaview
avenue between Stratford avenue- and
Connecticut avertue, on the west sido.
City Clerk Boucher explained that it
was found that ! there . was no money
for that purpose. Alderman King
suggested that the present disagree
able 'conditions could be remedied if
vr couple more- planks, were- used, - to
.widen the present walk. - - v '

THE PARKIER : JUKE 18, 1912
I Developments since her advent into
airfield have .caused her to think
strange- things, of the landlady's
daughter iand almost considering the
ady.feabiljty of residing elsewhere not
Hrtelde of Fairfield, for be it - known
she is. enraptured with this pretty lit
tle'; place.; The ' ex-Bridgeporteress
wondered why automobile parties, in
passing slowed up their cars and
gaied wonderously toward her second
Story" windows. Often again wonder
came over her as she passed through
the . spacious-halls of her home. Sure
ly that odor resembles cigars she
would say to herself. Patience is
truly; a' great virtue, and this ex
BTldgeporteress is possessed with a
superabundance of patience. She is
known to be most cool and has yet
to be seen ruffled. But even her
even calmless was overcome. She
should investigate for herself. Why
had she riot found an eiripty bottle be-;
side the-"ditch to the side of her lawn?
Auto parties saw, something from the
street, why could she not irivestigate
from that position? She did. What
she saw she is not telling everybody,
but .she"; did catch a glimpse of the
landlady's - daughter raising a bottle
over her head and, oh, smoking. The
storm had broken, and to the land
lady went the ex-BrldgepoTteress. - The
result is that for the past two weeks
one of the second story front rooms
has been unoccupied. And she
smokes, ; not those little rolled cigar
ettes, but oh, the long black Pitts
burgh variety. My partner will now
sing "Mother Feed (Little Otto Gar

Southport woman, her name could

the car left St. Thomas' church to
get her. car. fare. There was a stiff
breeze blowing and -before she realized,
what ihad happened, the wind- took
hold -of $15 in bills and whisked them
out of her purse. The roll disappear
ed ;into .'the black night and landed,
where Someone has found out, but not
the loser. . The woman got off the car
and summoned help and was seen
with several men and -boys, aided by
lanterns, looking for the vanished
greenbacks for an hour afterward.
She finally gave up and proceeded
homeward.

George Hall, a youth employed ' at

gored by a bull owned toy Mr. Sher-
wood on Sunday morning. Young Hal
approached too near to the animal and
was tossed about considerably, though
luckily , he did - not receive any severe
injuries. Unfortunately for the ,yputh
the bull had succeeded in winding" bis
attache rope around his horns sever
al times. Had the rope-been dangling
from the bull's snout only, the youth
and his rescuers could have : gotten
the infuriated animal under quick con
trol. Mr. Sherwood hearing-the boy's
cries for help hastened, to his rescue
and succeeded in driving the animal
off. The boy appeared to betinjured in
ternally and Dr. Power;?, was called.
The physician . found that the young
man's ribs were intact and that aside
from a-severe shaking up and several
scratches he was perfectly normal.
