1 Lively Tilt Between H. 0. Os-

borne and Ernest Boerger. The motion to pas sthe ordinance for;

the grading of Orange avenue on Its first reading at the Town Council meet- | Ing last night brought about a lively tilt between Councilmen Henry O. Os- j borne and Ernest Boerger. The petition and the ordinance originally called for, the grading of this thoroughfare from Springfield avenue to the town limit, but the ordinance taken up last night designated that the grading should cover only 2,000 feet.

Councilman Osborne emphatically protested against this change, declaring that it was In direct opposition to the wishes of the petitioners.

Councilman Boerger argued that, rather than dalay this matter any longer, as it had already been hanging fire about four years, It would be well to pass the ordinance as It read; other- wise it would necessitate another petition and ordinance and a conse- quent delay. Osborne, however, was

obdurate, and trusted that his col-1 leagues would not acquiesce In it. After further discussion the motion was lost. Mayor Glorieux, Councilmen Osborne, States, Greene and Lacombe voting nay and Councilman Boerger alone voting aye. To Give June Festival.
