A
Norwalk Gazette.
Tuesday. April 10. 1883.
Bank of Norwalk.
Our brisk little business community has
seldom been treated to so complete a sur-
' prise, said the changes at the Bank of Nor-
» walk last wgek. Naturally the air is full of
"LS rumors as to the “reasons why" such radical
changes in. the management of this old and
substantial institution were made. As
stated to us by parties knowing all the facts,
these changes were made for sound business
reasons, and in a manner alike honorable to
Gen. Craufurd and the Trustees of the Bank,
whoacted in the matter with entire unani-
mity. In any town, no larger than Norwalk,
blessed or burdened with five banks and
newspapers, there must needs be scanty pro-
fits for the best and starvation for the binder-
most. A newspaper may be run for a season
for pique, vanity or sentiment, but a bank
has to be conducted upon the hard,_ cold,
sordid and inexorable rules of finance. Its
owners will tolerate no other mode of its
existence. The recent infusion into the
directorship oi‘the Bank of Norwalk of so
much young, energetic, business capacity,
has simply borne its most natural fruit. _ The
. new board .was made up of'our very shrewd-
est and most sagacious and successful busi-
ness men, and nothing was more natural
than that after taking thedirectors' oath,
they should critically cast about to see in
what way the important interests in their
keeping could be turned to best account. It
was but natural that these young men should
be ambitions to so conduct the affairs of
their bank, that it‘should in its earnings and
profits be equal to if not ahead of its com-
petitors. For reasons for which the present
management are in no way responsible, they
felt it a duty to make the bank more profita-
ble to its stockholders. A committee was
raised by the Board of Directors to examine
its affairs minutely and recommend such
changes as would be likely to effect the de-
sired result. Among other things this com-
mittee unanimously recommended a reduc-
tion in the salary of its cashier. To this
Gen. Craufurd most naturally replied, in
view of his more than twenty years cf faith-
ful service, that he could but interpret such
action as at least an evidence of want of
harmony of views between himself and his
Board of Directors and that as inasmuch as
he had for a long time had in contemplation
a tender of his resignation he should do so,
and upon its being submitted by him in
writing was accepted without dissent by the
board. As was most natural also, the teller
undoubtedly feeling that the pruning-knife of
retrenchment should not be laid so ruthlessly
at the parental root, tendered his resignation,
although urged to retain his position with
' an increase of salary. In the opinion of
many friends of the bank, it would have
been just and politic to have tendered the
father's vacated place to the son. His ability
and unvarying courtesy have deservedly made
him the most popular personage about the
bank. This fact was considered by the di-
rectors,and it was felt that under the circum-
stances the placing of the son in the father’s
place would likely prove embarrassing to
both and so Robert’s resignation was also ac-
cepted. Subsequently the board elected Mr.
Henry P. Price, of the Norwalk Savings
Society, cashier, and Mr. John P. Treadwcll
teller. Of Mr. Price’s ability ‘and fitness for
the place there is no doubt, and, we predict
that he will soon grow to be one of the most
popular of all of Norwalk’s quintetto of
popular cashiers. Mr. Treadwell is a
nephew of President Lockwood, of the
Fairfield County Bank. He is a yopng gen-
tleman of the highest worth and finest
capabilities. Another act, most wise and
sensible on the part of the board, was the
election of Mr. James W. Hyatt as vice
president of the bank. Without an excep-
tion, we think it will be conceded, Mr. Hyatt
. is the most thoroughly competent and exper-
ienced man that could have been found for
the place. As a bank officer and financial
expert, he has few equals anywhere, and
barring his dreadful politics, Mr. Hyatt is
withall, a most courteous and agreeable gen-
tleman. The order keeping the bank open
from nine until three, has a metropolitan air
‘ about it, but is so sure to win the favor of
business men that we think we can safely
predict that it will'not be long ere all our
Norwalk banks follow suit in this modern
inovation and dispense with the old-time
dinner hour as is now done in nearly all
places of- any commercial importance. And
may the old Bank of Norwalk “live long
and prosper” under the new regime.

A Nuisance.
Roddy McGinnis, the “Mayor of Cobble
Hill,” was before his Honor, Justice Selleek,
on Saturday, charged by Mrs. Burns with dis-
turbing the peace. From all the testimony,
it would appear that this was a case of spite
on the part of Mrs. Burns, arising out of
Roddy’s buying the land between the two
houses which Mrs‘. Burns had previously
rented. As Roddy had succeeded in getting
ahead of Mrs. Burns by purchasing the lot,
she thought it would make them even if she
had him arrested, which she instantly did
upon the grounds above stated. Although
the evidence showed that she had tormented
him until he lost control of his tongue, J us-
tice Selleck fined him three dollars and costs,
from which decision he appealed. These
frequent cases from Cobble Hill are becom-
ing a nuisance as Well as an expense to the
town, as in every case it leaks out that they
are cases of spite against each other. Our
lawyers and grand jurors would save the
town considerable expense if they would re-
fuse to make out or sign all complaints com-
. ing from that locality, unless presented by re-
putable parties.
The Parallels.
The rival Parallels seem to have had, a sort
of monkey and parrot time in the courts the
past week without either side apparently get-
ting much the advantage of the other. In
the Legislature the Perry bill which practi-
cally nullified the General Railroad law, was
defeated and the right of consolidation in-
corporated into the General law. This the
friends of the Hartford & Harlem think
scores them one as it enables them to unite
their New York and Connecticut lines.
This is just about all there is to the railroad
rivalries up to the present time, and as the
Railroad Committee of the Legislature has
declined to do anything more at this session,-
we must patiently wait the action of the
courts, the Railroad Commissioners and the
companies. “You pays your money and
takes your choice,” and we with the masses
of the people are for the corporation that
first breaks ground and makes the gravel fly.

A Good Investment.
President Lockde of the Danbury &
Norwalk Railroad has sold since Monday of
last week $77,500 of the company’s new non
taxable bonds. These are the very best in-
» vestments’now in the market and ought to
be owned entirely hereabouts. If the savings
banks were allowed t) invest in these secur-
ities they would all be taken before another
night, at a high premium. Again we repeat,
there is no local investment more certain and
sure to be profitable, than those bonds.
Errata.
In the published communication last week,
of Mr. S. E. Olmstead, de the Parallel Rail-
road question, the word “weeks” was by an
accidental error printed “months? We
don’t wish to disparage either of the Par-
sllels, as the contest is beginning to get iii-
taresting just now.

past thirty-five years.

Railroad Controversy. g
[commmcarnm]
Mnssns, Enrronsr-h reply to your invi-
tation to the veteran Parallel to express its
views on its own organization and on its in-
tention to build a road, I noticed with pleas-
ure the prompt response of its President, in a
communicated article in your last issue.
Knowing that the writer of that piece knew
all the facts and all the intentions of the “en-
terprise,” of which he is the chief ofiicer, a
man of inquiring mind would naturally ex-
pect a brief, but pithy statement of the ssh-
cnt points in his case, and of the comparative
merits of the Hartford and Harlem case. But
nothing of the kind is to be found in the arti-
cle. There is one general charge against the
rival company and there are two specific
ones, and these are that it is not legally or-
ganized, that most of its capital is from other
States, and lastlyhthat- it has dared to enter
the field against the veteran enterprise: The
“Olmstead” is now in court, dcfendrn g its
organization and existence, and in that pro-
ceeding has to answer some very porntcd in.
quiries, among them, whether it. ever ap—
pointed directors, whether its maxrmum grade
is not nearly one third greater than it is stated
to be in its survey, whether a competent cn-
gineer could possibly take the layout and
survey and lay the line on the ground.whcther
the required amount of stock has ever been
subscribed in good faith, whether their lay-
out had ever been adopted by the company
when it asked for its approval by the com:
missioners. In the face of these grave charges
is it not rather boyish for the “Olmstead” _to
simply assert Without a single definite partic-
ular that they think the Hartford and Harlem
has no legal organization. Mr. President,
you can‘casily prove that it has not, in a
proceeding exactiylike that in which the vet-
eran enterprise is now floundering; but to
put it to that test it would _be necessary to
partlcnlarize to such an inconvenient extent
that it is quite safe to say that it will not be
attempted. - _
The only really direct charge against the
Hartford and Harlem is that most of its cap-
ital is from outsiders. Is it such a bad thing
for the State of Connecticut to have five
million dollars brought into it and spent here,
to say nothing of the annual expenditure
here of the bulk of its gross receipts, for all
time to come i We have a Board of Trade
which has been at much pains to invite out-
side capital to come here, but here is a com-
pany, ready and willing to come, and to
spend its wealth here, and it is lobbied against
and loudly assailed becausejt proposes to do
just what we have been trying for years to
get outsiders to do, that is, to spend its own
money here, instead of spending ours. If
this is all there is to say against the Hartford
and Harlem, it need not fear its rival.
~ The charge that the Hartford and Harlem
has dared to Come here and build a road when
the veteran was occupying the ground is as
strong as any of the other charges against it,
but will not amount to much in this country,
where one man has been declared to be as
good as another if not a little better. The
public does not much care which company
builds the road, but it will not strongly ob-
ject to the new enterprise, unless there is
more to be said against it than has yet been
said. For a mere infant, not yet seven
months old. it has mightily scared both its
rivals and the Consolidated road. . _
In conclusion, the insincerity of the “V ctr
eran" Company may be well inferred from
this paragraph written by its President :—
“As soon as the Legislature adjourned last
year, when we found a road could be built,
we immediately commenced perfecting our
Organization and securing capital to build the
road, all of which was accomplished before
November 1, and we should then at once
have applied to the Commissioners to accept
our layout unless for the fact that one person
interested in our enterprise was taken sick
with the typhoid fever and confined to his
home for seven or eight weeks. Immediately
upon his recovery the application was made."
Though claiming to be seventeen years old-
cr than the Hartford and Harlem, and for the
whole of that time to have cherished the pur-
pose of building the road, its chief ofilcer
states that only last Summer it—mark the
word—“commenced perfecting its organiza-
tion and securing the capital to build the
road." Does this mean that until last No-
vember they had no perfect organization and
no capital? Was not that a slip of the pen
that by an unfortunate glance cut the string
that tied the bag in which the “veteran” cat
was confined, as it were? And even after
its organization was all perfected and its cap-
tal all secured, its eggs were all left in one
basket, so that the sickness of “one person
interested in the enterprise” laid the veteran
on the shelf for weeks. What if one per-
son had never got Well, what if even now he
should have a relapse? Would it not be bet-
ter to have at least two persons so “interested
in the enterprise,” that the road could be
built even if one of them should have “tum-
mock ache ?" .
Very truly yours,
A BELrnvan IN THE HARTFORD 85 HARLEM.
One hundred years ago, Easiter SundayJast
village of Woodbury, in this state, a few.
individuals met to make choice of a suitable
clergyman to go to England, to obtain conse-
cration as Bishop at the hands of the authori-
ties of the mother church. .
The first clergyman selected was Rev.
Jeremiah Learning, D. D., who amid many
trials and much suffering, had so faithfully
served this parish of St. Paul’s,Norwalk.
Dr. Learning declined the honor however,
and Samuel Seabury, D. D., was at once
selected, and only a few weeks rolled around
ere he was on his way in Admiral Digby’s
flag ship across the Atlantic. 0n the cen-
tenary of the election of Dr. Seabury. March
25th last, there stood in the vestry room of
St. Paul’s Church at this place, a handsome
portrait of the first Bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in these United States,
and ranged around it were portraits of his
three successors. in the Diocese of Connecti.
cut, Bishops Jarvis, Brownell, and Williams,
which ecclesiastical galaxy, will hereafter
adorn the apartment referred to, in company
with the likenesses of Rev. Wm. Cooper
Mead, D. D., and Rt. Rev. Jackson Kemp
and the venerable Hezekiah Jarvis, making
the said Vestry room a highly interesting
historical repository. The portraits of the
four Connecticut prclates Were ordered by
the recently retired Rector of St. Paul’s and
attest to the cleverness of the artist, who has
with such masterly skill delineated them—
Mrs Stephen Merrill of our own town. The
likeness of Dr. Kemper is adonation from
one who has spent many years in fond
deVOtion to the welfare of St. Paul's The
late Rector hopes‘oue day to crown the
goodly collection by a portrait which will
fittingly complete the gallery, viz: that of
the honored Leaming.~

A Word in Season.
The year 1883 witnesses the agent of an
array of elegant and original designs and col-
orings for carpets, certainly never displayed
since the age of "Lost Arts." .
Very many of our citizens are at the pres-
ent time engaged in providing for themselves
new homes; young people are contemplating
“going to housekeeping ;” still others are
planning new furnishings for the old home-
stead. To such, a few words of wholesome,
practical and useful advice may not be ill-
timed or without beneficial results. Know
then, that this is the age of progress and im-
provements, as also of shoddy and gaudy
trumpery. Do not be inveigled into purchas-
ing carpets having “loud” colors, that will
not retain their cheap brilliancy or endure
the use of years. Use common sense, he
guided by the advice of men whose judgment
and experience are of value, and upon whose
statements you can rely implicitly. Instead
of hustling off to some great city among
strangers to be misled and gullcd, rather go
at once to the store of David M. Read, sole
agent for the Read Carpet Co., of Bridgeport,
where will be spead before you miles of car-
pets of every conceivable design and price,
whdse delightful coloring, blended in all the
tints of the rainbow areintendod to be as
lasting as the woven fabrics with which they
are combined. You can save money and pa-
tience by thus purchasing direct from the man.
