repair by contract, to run, say five or ten
years, and the work to be done to the satls-_
faction of the Commissioner. There is great
injustice in requiring the people of one dis-
trict near a railroad station to keep, the road
in repair for the benefit of half a dozen other
districts. ‘
There is one thing more which we would
like to see accomplished for the improve-
ment of our country roads, and that is the
_ universal custom of planting them with fruit
.
Tori shade trees. The initiatory step was
taken in theNew York Legislature last Win-
‘ ter. A lawless passed authorizing the own-
ers of land to appropriate and cultivate .a
strip six feet wide along the road fence for
the purpose Of planting it with trees. IWe
.already have a law excluding cattle from
.thehighways, which if enforced, makes the
’ planting or trees possible. , None but a set of
heathen greater than the Bedouin Arabs
would object to either of these laws when
' their advantages once become knowu.
In conclusion, we earnestly urge this mat-
ter upon the attention of all the conductors
Of the public press in the country, to endeav-
or to awaken the interest of the public to-
ward the improvement of all the highways,by
which, every dollar expended will return its
hundred-fold in the increased value of the
country. Let editors freely express their
‘ own views, and invite correspondence upon

A City Charter for Norwalk.
The rapid growth of Norwalk in all its.
parts, the constantly increasing questions of
highway endroachments, and the now immi-
nent necessity for more thorough sanitary.
meashres than have ever before been re'quivt
City Charter worthy of immediate and most
serious consideration. We need street lamps
down West Avenue to‘ the South Norwalk
Depot, just as much as we need them with-
in our present Borough limits. As soon as:
the construction and laying down .ol the
pipes for therWater Works, new municipal
powers and privileges will be imperatively.
needed. ,‘Then, too’, so far as South Norwalk.
I is concerned, every'man 'seems‘to locate his
buildings and his: lences pretty much as he
chooses and is apparently very apt to choose
some portion of the highway, and there
seems» to be little or no power to prevent.
A muchgreater evil is the continued con-‘ -
struction of wooden tenements in the thick-"
est portions of that village, imperiling~all
the property there. These, with hundreds
of other constantly recurring and increasing,
local questiOns,'both there and here, demand
some more efficient and comprehensive mu-
'nicipal'regulations., . J
We ernestly appeal to our South Norwalk
friends, aswell as our leading citizens about
the Bridge, to cpnvene at Once for consulta-
tion and to prepare for adoption by the
coming Legislature, some proper Charter
which shall unite the two sections into
Wards, and under the control of judiciously
selected officers, as is the case with Bridge-
port and East Bridgeport and other larger
places similarly related. We eutreat that in
this much needed reform and improvement,
all partizan feeling and politics be ignored.
Let usin good faith, invite all to meet and
dispassionately consider this proposition for
the benefit of all. .

The New Bridge.
We hope that the effort now made to
Bridge the River, at South Norwalk will
prove successful. When the work is ac-.
complished, everybody will wonder that
any one-opposed it. The talk of its offering
additiOnal obstructions to navigation is \ab-
surd. The question is, which will produce
.the most pllblw benefit, the construction of
the Bridge, to be followed by the necessity,
of warping vessels through the draw, or the
accommodation of ten minutes quicker pas-
sage to a'half-dozen sloops and sehooners in
the summer months ? Does anybody seri-
ously suppose that there is never to be a
Bridge in the contemplated place? But,
hen the Bridge _is built these same ques-
tions have got to be settled and it is wisest
to settle them now‘ and begin the promotion
of the growth of. tllegrowth of the town at
once.‘ ' '. »
Some would have the town unite with the
N. Y: a N. H. R. R. Co., 'in the construction
of a Bridge. There are two fatal Objections
to this. That Rail Road is the most corrupt,
Corporation in the United States, and no
partnership with it can be made, without se-
rious danger 'Ol suffering or perpetual swin- '
dle. Again, a partnership in the Bridge
renders both parties liable .for repairs and
accidents, and the town of Norwalk should
never become? partial for the prospective
murders of the Rail Road Company.
It must be remembered also, that a car-
riage Bridge connected with the Rail Road
Bridge would be so dangerousas to be almost
useless. Twenty trains a day pass over the
Bridge, all those from the east breaking up
and Whistling at each crossing, and in foggy
weather making the air hideous during the
stoppage at and passage over the Bridge,
freight trains should be added to the above
to estimate the full danger of such a connec-
tion. . »
By adverting to the notice in this day’s. is-
sue, it will be seen that a light toll is propo-
sed to be established to delray the expense
of the Drawetender. :
The present plan‘ is the best. It is certain
to succeed eventually, and to obstruct it is
only to delay our prosperity. Westport we
seek moving for a siniilar’Bl'idge across the"
Saugatuck ; we trust that our neighbor Will
not get ahead of us. , . I

A New Rail Road.
Our readershave doubtless Observed for
the past few. weeks. an advertisement in our
columns of a notice of an application to’
the next Legislature of this State,- for a
charter fora Rail Road from Derby to the
State line of New York, through the towns
of Bridgeport, Norwalk, Daricn, Stamford
and Greenwich ; and we have had frequent
enquiry made as to the route proposed, and
other matters connected therewith, which
we have not bee; able before this to ansWer.
We now learn that theInew Road asked
for, is intended to connect with the Harlem
River and» Port;Cheste_r Rail Road, plush]
has been chartered bytthé N ew York Logs: '

belonging to theHarlem Transportation 00.,
so tnat passengers will he landed in the up-
per portion or New. York Icitybycars, Or
landed down town by Boats, in much less
time than they are nowby horse cars.
The‘designofthe applicants for the new
road, as we learn,- is briefly this; To con-
struct ,a first class double track road from
the junction with the Harlem and Port
Chester Road, through the, towns of Green-
wich, Stamford, Bantam-Norwalk, Westport,
and Fairfield. to Bridgeport,on substantially
the line surveyed by “Twining” on which
the New Yprk and New, Haven Road was
chartered_(buthhich was afterwards changed
to the “Mason” line .by. thethen Railroad
Commissioners),,and*from Bridgeport to run
a newIlineIon the west of I theHousatonic
Riverto Derby, and to crosilatwthat point
at the‘headI of navigation,II.thence . to unite
wrththe New Haven d5 Derby. Rail Road to
I New Haven, thus avoiding all Draw Bridges
except the Iron Bridge at Harlem.~ The sa‘
ving of distance from Harlem to Port Chest-
‘er onthe newline is three miles, which will
make the entire route , from, New. Haven to
New York-Ibutvlittle it anylonger than the
present line, while the saving of time ,by
avoiding the stopages at Draw Bridges, will
enable the new road to make much better
time betwgen New York and New Haven
than is now made by the Draw Bridge Read.
The advantages of this line are many, a few
ofgwhich we will merely allude to.
1st. The danger of Draw Bridges will be
entirely avoided.
, _2nd. The, time saved by passengers will
be several minutes each passage. , I
3d. It will form‘the shortest route from
New York to Hartford and all points east
and north of that city, by the way of Derby,
Waterbury \and the Boston, Hartford &
Erie road, which is now nearly completed
from Waterbury to BostOn. "

satonic valley, and from all towns on the
line ‘of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad,
from New Canaan and from all the towns
5th. It will be a people’s road, and will
carry freightand passengers at reasonable
rates and the danger of rush and crash on
the Harlem Rail Road below Harlem will be
avoided.
, We have noticed but few of the many ad-
vantages that will accrueby the building of
this road, and we have yet to find the first
person that does not favor the project, as the
course pursued by the managers-of the old
_road in their extortionatc charges both for
freight and passengers, have been too severe
to be soon forgotten. '
will refuse to grant a charter so much de-
sired by the people, and we wish the new
road abundant success.
