The school Question.
The school. question was summarily dis.
of at the Town Meetingpn Saturday
afternoon last by an- adjournment sine die,
without the transaction of any business
specified in the call. That is, seventy seven
men present voted that fifty—one fellow citi-
zens also present, had no .rights which they,
the majority, were bound to respect. The
majority must have been conscious of hav-
iig a bad cause if they were afraid to grant
the minority their main to an impartial
hearing. When “ we the people” assemble
in. town meeting, one voter has as much
right to a respectful hearing as another. In
the name of fair play and free speech we
protest against the ungentlemanly, unfair
and dishonorable practice, unfortunately so
prevalent here, of choking ofi‘proper action
at town meetings by a vote to adjourn be-
fore a hearing, at least, is granted. The
motion to adjourn ought never to be in
order until some action has been had on all
business specified in the call. Vote as you
will but treat your opponents honorably.
In this matter of the shools the question is
by no means settled. It will be discussed,-
and eventually there will be some change
in the system. In the meantime the people,
after their own action in thgmatter, cannot
consistently grumble about taxesand the
cost of the system which they have voted
to maintain.
The Borough Taxes.
Some weeks since we suggested the adop-
tion here of the system which prevails
throughout Ohio’snd many other states, of
dividing our municipal taxes into semi-
annual payments. Ex—Governor Dennison,
‘30?" --'--*:‘::na:-= - 1’ the new District of Colum-
uers, secured the adoption by
:14 mode for the payment of
tars; . .ngton, and the enactment
has proved most popular and satisfactory
to the tax-payers, while the financial needs
of the municipiality are even better accom-
modated than by the old system. An
honest effort was made here by our borough
authorities to arrange our tax this year, so
that it should not fall right upon the state
and town tax, as has happened heretofore.
But-in arranging its payment for the first of
June, a most unfortunate blunder was made.
June is neither hay or grass with most busi-
ness men. It is neither dividend day or
quarter day to the capitalist even. But here
the chief inconvenience is in the fact that
the major portion of our Borough taxes are
paid by the smallhonseholders, who, many
of them, have Savings Bank loans upon
their homes, and by an old, but most incon-
venient system to many, the Savings Bank
calls for its interest in June and December,
instead of July and January. We lsnow
that this call for the Borough tax and Sav-
ings bank interest is going to prove peculi-
s-rily hard and inconvenient to many of our
best citizens who have striven to secure
homes and to adorn and develop the place,
for a large number have spoken to as re-
gretfully on: the subject. The times have
beén exceptionably hard for the tradesmen.

collection of the Borough tax to be divided
or at all events order its collection postpon-

claimed that it is now too late too effect any
change, and that the collector must go ahead
and collect the whole year’s tax on the first
of June and extort one per cent. per month
from all who are so unfortunate as net to
have the‘money to pay it, . We do not be-
lieve it impossible for the people of the
Boroughtomitigate the present hardship.
Indeed, we believe it competent for the
Court of Burgess to order the collector to

June and one half five or six months hence,

treasury may be made to conform to the
change, that our Borough’s financial condi-
tion shall be even better than under the
present regime. This is a matter of mutual
interest and in times like these no reasona-
ble indulgence should be denied the tax-
payers.
We are pained to learn that Capt. Henry
W. Smith is not recovering from the frac-
-' lure of the ankle bone of his leg, which he
sustained recently while inspecting his son’s
‘ new house. The captain’
vere’laceration of the parts y the broken
bones, seem to have prostraied his system
beyond nature‘s powers of rallying, thus
far. He is most tenderly nursed and cared
for at the house‘ of his daughter, Mrs. David
M. Plait, on Union Park.

Capt. Shumway, of the Litchfield Enquirer,
will be ofileer of the day, and Lt. Studwell

Some little trivial injuries resulted to our
Borough Fire Apparatus while combatting
the spread of the confiagration at: South
Norwalk, Friday morning. This circum-
stance has been taken advantage of on the
part of a very few malcontsnts to criticize
the action of Mayor Daskam .in permitting
the boys to go to the assistance of our im-
periled neighbors. The Mayér may rest
assured the great mass of Borough tax-pay'
era would have condemned any other action
on his part. The most uncomfortable re,
‘ ilection isthst had our hydrant water been
available there at the first breaking out of
the fire, the finest edifice in all our town
might have been saved. If the lesson shall
lead to an immediadte introduction of the
water now, (which we are sure may be
done,) on a basis fair and equitable to both
sections, it may not be entirely lost upon
either section of the town.

Under the ruins of Lender’s corner build-
ing our local insurance agents found Mon-
day morning, uninjured, two fnll barrels of
ale, one barrel half-full, one barrel of whis-
‘key and some other goods,—part of the
stock of J. D. Grifi‘eth. If the possipility
of such a thing had been thought of before
'we suspect the agents would not have made
this salvage, and that the police of South
Norwalk would have had their hands full
of business Sunday.
The adjusters for the different Insurance
Companies on Lounsbury Bros. & Rock-
well’s stock meet Tuesday morning. As it
is now evidentthe books of the firm cannot
be written up and other papers made ready
for examination before Thursday, it is
probable the adjusters will appoint a com-
mittee of three to settle the loss on Thurs-
day and the rest will not come again.

Very destructive forest fires raged in

o’clock, a. m., in the 3d story of Messrs,
Lounsbury’s Shoe Manufactory, an unusu-
ally fine structure d“ brick, with iron front.
Au alarm was promptly given and the few
persons first arriving "entered the building
and were proceeding with all dispatch to
the upper story, when a mysterious and
terriflic explosion took ”place, throwing off
a portion of the roof and carrying the fire
into all portions of the building and so
temporarily demoralizing those personst in
the building that they beat a hasty 'retreat
to the depo latform. This first exp
was follo y several smaller ones, and
was at first supposed to have been from
some patent cement used in the manufac-
tory, but on investigation this does not
seecm to have been the cause, as there was
none of it in that part of the building. ‘
The citizens promptly rallied and did all
in their power to stop the flames, but not
having any fire apparatus their efforts were
all .in vain Help, however, was soon at
hand, for the bells and explosion having
been heard by some of the Borough Fire-
men, they » voluntarily repaired to their
several machines and meeting. Warden
Daskam received pcrmission'to proceed to
the help of their neighbors, and through
the forethought of Mr. Banks .Morehouse
who had horses harnessed ready for use on
the first alarm. the steamer and the entire
tire apparatus was on the run for the city
at the first strike of the Borough Fire Bell.
The steamer immediately on arrival took
water from a large cistern of Exsmayor
Ely’s, on the Old Well Hotel property and
run one line of hose into Washington street
to the top of Lauder’s brick block, and
another line down Main street around back
of Clark&. Lane‘s building to the rear of the
burning edifice. Soon after their getting to
work the front wall of the building fell, fol-
lowed sbortiy by the north si:le wall. The
north wall fell upon the low wooden struc-
ture of Mr. Lander-s, and that was soon
enveloped in flames, but the line of hose
being changed from the rear and brought
around to the front this was subdued mid-
way of the structure and was apparently
all extinguished when the water supply
gave out, ' ‘
'To render things more secure however
and avert the danger of the fire again
breakingout, the steamer was taken to a
cistern at the rear of Rev. Mr. Austin’s
residence and an effort made to still further
drown out the smouldering embers,but that
cistern gave, out in five minutes time and
for awhile the steamer was useless.
At this'juncture thefiames again broke out
fiercely in the portion of Lauder's building
left standing and seriously endangered his
fine brick block, but the Hook do Ladder
boys tackled it mentally to pull it down
and sufficient hose having been attached to
the Norwalk Iron Works Steam Pump that
was enabled to pour water into Mr. Austin’s
cistern so that the steamer was again start—
ed up and putting one stream on -soon ex-
tinguished the fire. 2

it were, by the skin of their teeth, from des-

The Messrs. Lounsbury Bros. express the
fear that the origin of their fire was incendi-
ary. They state that the explosions which
occurred at the first outbreak and during
the progress of the fire, was something un-
known to them; that the naptha cement
said to be in use by them, was all stored un-
der the sidewalk and not a particle of itwas
burned. It seems hardly possible that any
one could be so base as to destroy one of the
employment so large a number of fellow
workmen. The loss, though very severe to
the thrifty 'young firm, ,will not prevent
their immediate reorganization and prosecu-
tion of their business, we are glad to hear.

The entertainment of Friendly Greeting
Division, No. 53, S. of T. has been the event
oflhe week; it tookplace on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, and was carried
out to the satisfaction of all. The manage-
ment was perfect and the programme was
carried through successfully and surpassed
the expectations of all present. The Glee
Club of Concord Division, commenced the
exercises with a song, followed by opening
address by Brother David Comstock, after
which, in order, came charades, recitations
and dialogues. TR grand feature of the
entertainment, the great Temperance
Drama,“ Aunt Dinah’s Pledge.” was brought
out ina manner that would do credit to
Professionals. The whole concluded with
the laughable farce, the “Patent Wind Mill}:
which was a decided hit and brought down
the house with wars of laughter.
The members return theirsincere thanks
to all who so kindly assisted them. By
special request of members of Rising Star
Division the entertainment will be repeated
at the M. E. church, Five Mile River, on
Tuesday cvening,Jullc 1.' We advise all
who would enjoy a pleasant entertainment
and help along a good cause, to be present.
