looting.
The spark of excitement M'd ill fen-ling
which the electric light and tax nip.tu-
tion lisd kindled among our borough
neighbors siuled and went out yesterday
afternoon.
The call for a special borough meeting
to consider these questions brought to—
gether a crowd that again taxed the
standing capacity of the town rookery.
Hut everybody waaas meek as Mary’s
little lamb and the proceedings were as
dry as the most entertaining number of
tho .‘v'orwalk flour.
Warden Coolidge presided with that
grace and dignity becoming his high
allies, and clerk l’srry read the call for
the meeting in a voice tinged with that
3 same solsmnlty which seemed to pervade
the whole atmosphere.
A communication from the Norwalk
and South Norwalk Electric Light com-
pany, in which they stated that a valid
contract had been made with the bor—
ough, and that they were ready to carry
out its provision, was read.
At the request of the warden, clerk
Perry, as attorney for the borough, gave
his opinion on the tax question, stating
that he believer] any act passed at the
meeting would seriously imperil the
validity of the tax.
In response to inquiries from various
parts of the house regarding the grand
list, the rate, the expenses and debt of
the borough, Warden Coolidge made a
comprehensive statement, showing that
in 1880 it cost $25,132.56 to run the vari-
ous departments of the borough govern-
ment; the floating debt was 820,300.00.
In I897 the expenses of the borough were
Sillf'flSJil: floating debt, 811,650.00. In
DIS“, “0.487.371 floating debt, 314,050.
The estimates for the year 1889 were as
follows: Water construction account,
$2,500; highways, Main street damages.
SLIUO: repairs on highways, €4,000;
lights, $5,750: fire department, $2,000
police, $2,250; setvors, 92,000; administra-
tive account, 83,000: interest account
(not including ”.090 on water bonds)
“0.500; total, $33,100. Floating debt,
January 1, 1889, $41,933.91. Bonded in-
debtedness of the borough, 8400.000,
divided as follows: Water, $200,000;
sum-rs. $50,000; funded debt, 8.9),000.
The Board of Belief, Mr. Coolidge-aid,
had not finished their work. When they
shall it 1V0? finislml it the tax would not,
he thought, exceed $30,000.
W ll. f)!mst.‘tt-lexprr~~sml himself in
favor of g. fling out of debt, anal he did
not see how it could be done for less than
one per cent. on summon. He closed
by offering a motion that the tax be left
as it is.
This was withdrawn upon a suggmtion
offered by J. Belden llurlbutt, and A. E.
Austin moved that the meeting proceed
to the second business under the call.
Th r motion prevailed.
Captain Isaac Selleck asked if any con-
tract had been made with the Electric
Light company
Warden C )olidge replied that the
Court of Burgesses had taken no action
officially in regard tolighting the streets.
There was a lull in the proceedings at
this point, a silence that was almost
painful, broken only by the aonorous
snoring of a man who had gone to sleep
on one of the back seats.
Then A. H. Camp made a motion that,
as there seemed to be no further business,
the meeting adjourn. The motion pre—
vailed by a score of 101 to 78.
Warden Coolidge declared the meeting
out.

An 0ffer to the city.
The Congregational Society at their
meeting last evening voted to offer the
old church property with buildings, ex-
clusive of furniture and furnishings, to
the city of South Xorwalk for the sum
of $15,009 It was also voted
to complete the tower on , the new
church. ,, Also to purchase a fine organ
for the new edifice.
It has been suggested that it would be
a good move if the city purchased the
property and disposal of their prment
lot on Franklin street. The chapel could
be used for Council meetings and court
purposes and the church edifice could
capilybe transferred into a twrrstory
building, which wrs uld serve the needs of
the city for many years. The project is
one worthy of careful consideration.

Different improvements at the ball

that the changes arelmade. It was de-
cided to erect an additional grand stand

Ought to be Repaired.
Very many of the residents of the
town. including both city and borough.
during five or six months of the year.
both for pleasure and health of theat-
srlves and families, have been in the
habit of driving to what was formerly
known as Gregory‘s. now called Dorlon's
Point, and the number would be greatly
increased but for two slough holes, cans—
ed by the overflowing of the roadway by
high tides. Too-so mud holes are dee-
tructive to good looks of the vehicles
and totbe dresses of the occupants of
them when they leave there carriages at
the Point, area their arrival at home.
As this point is now about the only ac-
ceasable place where our citizens can
enjoy the salt sea air and bathing with-
out the discomfort of boating, it Certain-
ly seems important that the highway
leading theretoshouid bekept in good
order, and to so keep it these slough
holes should be filled and the roadway
; raised so that it will always beabovs
high water mark. As tbecoet of and)
improvement will be but trifling, let the
proper authorities take it in haodat once
and give our people a clean drive to that
delightful seaside resort.
Electric Lights in South Harv-ll.
An adjourned meeting of the Common
Council will be held this evening to coco
sider the electric light quatiou. It is
pretty well settled by the Board that
electricity should be adopted as a lie-lie
of lighting the streets of South Norwalk,
but the question to be decided iswbrtbrr
the contract will be given the Norwalk
.3 South Norwaik Electric (3.0 or the
Nora alk (in Light Co. The opinion
among the people Is that the wisest
th.ng to do Is to give the contract to the
latter company. Their terms are very
reasonable and they agree that if the
light they furnish Is not satisfactory at
the and of two months. the expeviln rot .
will be no expense to the city.

I’Ieltemsut About loperannuated
Preachers.
At the fifth day's session of the Metho-
dist conference at Bridgeport yesterday
the question “Who are the superannuat-
ed preachers" was discussed. and the
name of Rev. George Dunbar was added
to the list of the superannustsd. Rev.
Marcus L. Taft, a returned missionary
from' Pekin, China, addressed the con-
ference. Considerable excitement and
feeling was aroused by the reading of a
paper on “Our Veterans" by Rev. J. B.
Hamilton of Brooklyn. The paper con-
veyed that a veteran Methodist clergy-
man, as at present provided for, was
more liable to go to the poorhouso than
anywhere else. it heated denunciation
of the paper followed its reading. and
after the adjournment Rev. Mr. Hamil-
ton was besieged by a dozen of the min-
Ieters who forcibly expressed their dis-
approval of the paper.
