The feeling is widespread and almost
univerially eni’dr'tained that "our taxes here
'in Notislk are unreasonably and unneces-
sarily high This opinion prevails to an un-
warranted degree, no doubt, because of a
want of. definitojutormation. Could some
new system be adopted of publishing the
town nn‘dV‘b'oVrougb accounts quarterly, in-
stead 91‘ annually, 11 more correct judgment
could be formed, and the responsibility {01
extravagance or mismanagement, if any ex-
isted, could then be more definitely located
ind determined The Borough and the
City, taking out so large a portion of the
+4 highway expenses as they do, materially
lessen our former heavy and special costs
for road repairs. Cemplaint is made, with
what justice we know not, that the town
money raised for h1ghways is unduly ex.
pended within' cur corporate limits and
- that the town roads have to suffer neglect
to a corresponding degree We do know
that many if our town roads are, and have
long been, in a wretched condition, and
should be‘repaired before Winter setsin.
We also know that vast sums of money are
squandered year by. year in our present
modes of repairing the highways of the
village. It 1s the system that' 10 at fault here,
and our people, who tolerate it, rather than
our public ofilgers, who certainly can have
no other wish than to carry out the instruc-
tions of the people as economically as pos-
1 sible. Had Main street,from the old Meeker
Place to South Norwalk Depof, been Mac’-
adamized years ago, as we have repeatedly
urged, it would not now cost us twenty-five
dollars a year to keep it in repair, while we
should have 'a good, smooth and durable
road, and should have been nearly, if not
4141:3'5- »._ .1
entirely, cured ofour present wasteful modes.
of road repairing. Still, the item of road re-
pairing 1s a heavy one. Labor costs money,
and nothing moms harder than to get a fair
day’s work for a fair day’s pay on public
work. Our (own is large, and in its rapid
growth and expansion, new roads, hastily
and unskillfully made, have been added to
our former areas, which need yearly and
almost monthly; rebuilding and repairing.
Another heavy item of town expense is the
interest on our War Debt. Our poor, also,
furnish a heavy and rapidly increasing vol-
ume of cost. We wonder our Selectmen
are not oftimes perplexed, distressed and
annoyed beyond all endurance at the duty
of attending this class of expenditure. . The
veritable and pitia‘ble cases of want and
suffering, followed by the more frequent
cases where crime and vice and utter shame-
Vlessness and shiftle'ssness crow their sham
demands upon them, are enough to driv e an
ordinary man to desperation. We deem it
but simple justice to our retiring board to
say that their public duty seems to have
been done with an honest fidelity and pru-
dence. ,They have been helped in their re-
ceipts by the money received into the trees-
ury from licenses to sell liquors. .But if it
were possible to balance this item by the
loss of honest industry and thrift, the riot-
ing and larcenies and Grand Jurors’ com-
plaints, with the inevitable pauperism, con-
sequentupon the unrestrained sale of the
accursed poison, this gain, we believe, would
show a great loss in dollars as well as mor-
als. Would V God the curse of Rum could
be, even Ifora single year, removed from'
ourV'fair town, that'our tax payers might see
and feel the difference in solid dollars even,
in the public burdens. Our new: heard of
town officers will, we are sure, emulate all
that was wise and good in their predeces-
sor’s stewardship, and adopt those reforms
which experience may show to be beneficial.
The Selectmen have a more weighty re-
sponsibility than others, and if they so man-
age ' as :to diminish our increased and
increasing expenditures, without neglect of
any interestgjustly needing town aid; they
will deserve and receive the public gratitude.
'ln matters appertaining to the Borough,
our expenditures have been large;but a
great deal has been done in grading, gutter-
ing and walking the village, the past two
years. No village within our knowledge
has so freely or so largely improved its
walks and crossings and highways. The in-
troductio'n of public water was a vast ex-
pense, but not a dollar was wasted or Vmis-
applied, and thou h temporarily augment-
ing our burdens taxation in providing
for the interest on, the bonds, it ought and
will, no doubt, soon become a source of rev-
enue to the Borough, besides its incalcula-_
ble benefits to our place and people. We
should be glad if at least one of the systems
adopted by the Washington Board of Pub-
lic Works," could be adopted and as inexor-
ably adhered'to here. The Beard lay out
and put down all sidewalks, set out and box
10st of- shade trees, the walks and- "trait-ll
2:11,; noting! in '8 m die adjoining
in'proportion '-to the front upon the
street and the remaining two-thirds go into
the general tax. The justice of this last
arrangement is apparent, for every citizen is
interested' 1n and benefitted by good streets
andwalks. And by reason of their letting
out their gutter, curb and walk laying by the
mile, contractors will do the work at about
two-thirds the cost when a few feet of milk
is laid here and' there for an'indivldual own-
er. The uniform rows of shade trees set
out, protected and cared for in all the streets
by this Board. will of itself make Wash-
ington, within the'l‘extquarter ofa century,
the most attractive-audibeautiful capital on
the globe. This enhance of any uniform
system of .setting :ihade trees along the
streets of' our Borough, is really the only
serious draw-back to the very general and
really remarkable improvement-and beauti-
fication of our village ‘the past two years.
May-we .not hope for some action in the
matter of shnde' trees another year, and, if
it be possible, -a wise and more rigid econ-
omy in Borough expenditures other than
street improvements 7
The wind- cyclone, :aCcompaniod with
rain, which swept the western lakes and
prairies on Friday last, seems .to have reach-
ed New England Sunday night. . Great
hopes' were. awakened among physicians
and scientists that this. air storm would tend
'to dissipate the terrible scourge of Yellow
Fever now prevailing with deadly results
at Shreveport, Memphis, and other south-
western places, although VtheV prevaihng
temperature was _not lowered. Yesterday‘ s
reports from the plague-stricken localities
did not sustain the hopeful anticipations,
and the scourge seems to prevail with all its
terrible malignity. The details which come
to us are of the most heartrending charac-
ter.

In some respects this is a‘s strange conclu-
sion, and must. have..beon reachod by the
Judge without full deliberation and knowi-
_. edge of the “general customs” prevailing. '
In this aeolian othhe State it hasibponithc
“common custom” of theBoard'to designate
which member should fill the position, and
this cnstoin, t't ii Istated, was approved ‘.V’Y'Zfi
Chief Judge 11m. in more-111111 one in».
stance when appealed to. V
If the Judge’ aopinion. is aeceptod it .will
settle the question in Meride‘n very nicely,
but how will it operate in Norwslk where
the case is entirely different). Here; Mr. A.
Selleck, placed fir'st on the Republican tick-
et, was elected; Mr. Hanford, first on the
Democratic ticket, wai also elected; . Which"
is to be First Selectman? Both cannot bo.
If given to the one who received the highest
number of votes Mr. Selleck will be the
man, winning be three votes. I
Again, Mr.- Smith whose name wasVI print-
Vod second on the. Democrat ticket received
.a higher number of votes than either of the
others Has he no claims to the position 2
Board, and according to established custom
can elect their own man. As" the law does
not seem to settle the question who is to
act as umpire "
We do not know that they; will be any
contest betIioeVn the afi’able gentlemen of our
noley elected Board in regard to this mat-
ter, but there is a fine chance for them if
they so desire.
They do not enter upon their official du-
ties until the first of December and will have
ample time in which to consider the matter
in all its bearings. _ 'V
