THE lUWN MEETING.
\‘Vill the Meadow szz est bridge be
widened? '
Yes, if the city of South Norwalk
will come forward and pay her just
share of the expense.
Such was the decision arrived at by
the citizens of Norwalk at a lively town
meeting held Vednesday night.
It was a meeting made up of the best
citizens and able debaters, and while
sectionalism was charged and ill ad-
vised remarks made by some 'of the
South Norwalk speakers every one
appeared good natured at the finish.
The action of the chairman in at-
tempting to prevent the majority from
having a count made came near wind-
ing the meeting up in a row,but happily
this was averted by a recognition of
the rights of the majority by the chair,
which showed him to have been in er
ror nearly LNO to one.
The rehashing of the location of the
Meadow street bridge by the several
speakers became somewhat tiresome
and many voters left the hall before a
vote was taken. '
It was just 8:07 when Chairman John
H. Light ascended the platform and
called the 200 or more voters to order.
Clerk Herbert R. Smith read the
minutes of the previous meeting and
the report of the committee appointed
to confer with the railroad officials
relative to the widening of the Mead-
ow street bridge, which report was
made a part of the record of the meet«
ing.
As soon as the reading was complet-
ed Robert Pearson was recognized and
offered the following resolution :
RESOLVED, That the selectmen be
and they hereby are authorized and
instructed to cause the Meadow street
railroad bridge to be widened so that
the same will be forty feet wide in the
clear, provided that the New York,
New Haven &. Hartford railroad com-
pany will bearand pay one-third of the
entire cost; and,
RESOLVED further, That the sum of
$5,500, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, be and the same is hereby
apprOpriated to defray the cost of said
work.
At the reading of the above res'olu-
lution B. W. Maples made technical
objection to its wording, and suggested
that it be chaged to read, “ cause
Meadow street to be widened where it
is crossed by the railroad bridge.”
which Mr. Pearson agreed to.
Gen. Charles Olmstead was
recognized and offered an amendment
to insert after “and,” “provided furth-
er, that the city of South Norwalk will
pay one-third of entire cost.”
R. H. Rowan inquired the present
width of Meadow street, and was in-
formed by Selectman Thomes that it
was 40 feet. He remarked that he did
not see the idea of making the bridge
the same width as the street.
James E. Ells said amendment
amounted to nothing as it did not wid-
next
en bridge.
Mr. Pearson was again recognized,
and said he did not understand Gen.
Olmste‘ad’s amendment asking South
Norwalk to pay one-third when the
Railroad company had already offered
to pay one-third.
Gen. Olmstead explained that Rail-
rbad company was to pay one-third,
city of South Norwalk one-third and
the town one-third, making three-
‘ thirds in all.
Mr. Pearson said he understood
Where they were 'at now. “You are
very kind,” said he, “but the people
of South Norwalk don’t propose to pay
one cent of the expense.” He then
branched off on the question of .consoli-
dation, after which he said that South
Norwalk had no right to pay only its
proportion townwise. ,
Continuing Mr. Pearson said that
"Engineer W. B. Rider states that the
entire bridge is outside of the city lim-"’
its and was so placed by the Danbury
&. Norwalk Railroad Company pur-
posely.” He concluded by saying,
“South Norwalk can stand it just as
well as you people of Norwalk. We
don’t use it any more than you do.
The amendment is pure sectionalism
and has no consolidation in in. South
Norwalk won’t pay one single cent out-
side of townwise. I don’t see where
you get the cheek to ask such a thing.”
Gen. Olmstead replied by saying that
Mr. Pearson’s statement raised. a new
question. . It had always been conceded
that the Meadow street bridge was in
the city of South N orwalk, but now we
are told that it’s all in the town of Nor-

walk. “If this can be substantiated”
said Gen. Olmstead, “I will withdraw
my amendment.” “How does the city of
South Norwalk control Meadow street
and give the Tramway a lay out if this
is so?” concluded Gen. Olinstead.
Mr. Saunders. “Meadow street ceases
when it reaches South Main istreet.
The bridge is out of Meadow street and
on the old Wilson Point road. I
General Olmstead. "Will you tell us
where your boundary is ‘9”
Saunders. “I can’t tell you.”
J. Belden Hurlbutt was rccpgnized
and said he was sorry that the gentle-
man (Pearson) had seen fit to talk about
consolidation, and he did not think
that it ought to influence any votes.
Mr. Hurlbutt said that there was one
person present who knew all about it,
referring to town cOunsel Levi VVar-
ner. At the railroad commissioners’
hearing the city attorney of South Nor-
walk, Gen. Nelson Taylor, was pres-
ent said Mr. Hurlbutt, “but I think he
was employed by the railroad company.
The selectmen did not have anything
to do with the bridge.”
The man made at that time showing
the bridge in Meadow street is on file
in the town clerk’s oiiice. continued
Mr. Hurlbutt. “The map made by En-
gineer Rider shows the intersection of
Meadow street and Wilson Point road
to be within the city limits. His own
act shows the Peal son statement to be
incorrect. The committee to lay out
the Wilson Point road was appointed
by the county court at the request of
Lewis 0. Wilson. When the railroad
extension was made the intersection of
Meadow street was determined by a
committee appointed by theASouth Nor-
walk council and consisted of Nelson
Craw and John L. Richards, and C. N.
Wood was the engineer and they loon-
ted the point substantially in the cen-
ter of the bridge and drove a stake in
the ground at this point,” concluded
Mr. Hui-lbutt.
Levi Warner for a statement of Rider's
He then called upon
connection with the matter and C. N.
Wood as to his act as to location.
Mr. iVarner said that it was strange
that it had at this late day just been
found out that no part- of the bridge was
in the limits of South Norwalk. "What
Mr. Hurlbutt said of the previous ac-
tion of the city of South Norwalk rela-
tive to the city line was true. What
Rider says or is said to have said is
without a particle of truth. No truth
literally in the assertion, and it ought
not to deceive anyone.” Mr. Warner
said that the bridge was where it al-
ways stood and had never been chang-
ed and the bridge stood directly in
front of Meadow street. It had always
been there and had never been any—
where else. . a
Mr. Warner further stated that when
it was said that it was purposely locat-
ed south of the city line it was not cor-
rect. “Rider had nothing to do with
the locating of the bridge,” added Mr.
Warner. He then gave a brief state—
ment of the building of the bridge.
He concluded by saying that the bridge
was partly within and partly without
the city limits and the selectmen had
absolutely no power to Widen it even
if the meeting voted to widen it.
Chairman Light interposed by saying
the resolultion empowered selectmen
only to widen on the town side.
This brought Mr. Hurlbutt to his
feet to enquire where the commitee ap— .
pointed on the question had located
the widening. His question was after-
wards answered by Selectman Thomes
to the eifect that it was proposed by
the committee to widen on both sides.
Mr. C. Swartz was recognized and
said he was Mayor of South Norwalk at
the time the bridge was built. He
said he andGen. Taylor, the city at-
torney, and a railroad engineer, he
thought, met and discussed the rail«
road extension. Meadow street bridge,
he said, was not considered of impor-
tance enoughto consider but they did
consider Mechanic street. ‘
Engineer Wood said he was employ-
ed to run the line and had no trouble
until Meadow street was reached when
they had lots of trouble, but that Mr.
Craw and Mr. Richards located angle
point directly under the bridge.
Mr. Wood said 'he thought the old
Wilson Point line could be run out
with some difficulty and the exact‘
angle line determined.
Gen. Frost was'recognized and made

ing of the city line, which he said was

! meeting together was overlooked, also
a to'the objection of the wording of the
l resolution by the “technical School
: teacher.” He said there was more or
g less natural opposition because the pro-
3 posed improvement, was located near
j the South Norwalk line. He spoke on
i the dangerous condition of the place

and asked that it be corrected.

worthless and “Its informed by Chair-
man Light that it was.
Gen. Frost then asked the chairman
if the original resolution before amend-
ment was correct and M r. Light said
he thought it was.
Several others joined in the debate,
and then Gen. Frost took the floor and
stated that there was a purpose on the
part of certain persons present to defeat
the whole question because the propos-
ed improvement was in South Norwalk.
His remarks were received with sev-
eral cries Oh! Oh: ’
After John McMahon had been
ognized and made a statement as to
the location, Mr. Hurlbutt took the
floorto reply to Gen. Frost.
Mr. Hurlbutt said that the fullest op-
portunity to defeat the project occurr-
ed the other night when only four
from South Norwalk had appeared at
the meeting while over fifty from this
1‘80-
end of the tOwn were present, and they
had adjourned at the request of Mr.
Pearson in order to give South Nor-
walk fair play.
At this point William Tammany
moved the previous question and shut
off debate.
Chairman Light put the question on
the amendment of Gen. Olmstead
using the words “the city of South
Noi-walk shall pay,”which caused Gen.
Olmstead to object and the‘. chair to
change the word “shall” to “will” as
made by Gen. Olmstead.
When the vote was finally taken Mr.
Light declared that the “noes” had it.
It was vociferously doubted at once in
all parts of the ball, but the chair an-
nounced its defeat saying he had not
heard it doubted. At this apparently
biased ruling several gentlemen sprang
to their feet and a stormy scene was
imminent, but the chairman decided
to recognize the doubt and appointed
Messrs. A. C. Wheeler and William
Tammany tellers and called fora rising

Clerk Smith announced the vote on
the amendment by Gen. Olmstead as
follows:

The chair declared the amendment

The question on the adoption of the
resolution as amended was also declar-
ed by the chair in favor of the noes
amid a series of objections.
A standing vote was then taken and
the ayes counted. When noes, were
