was instructed to advertise that a public

room The petition was referred to the
special committee to look over the plans
and machinations.
Councilman Nash said be had received
:1 letter froru representatives of the Nor-
wnlk Tramway company, stating that
they were desirous of proceeding with
the. extension of their tracks, but as the
Council desired to know more about their
plans and specifications, which had not

deferred.
It was voted that the committee on
streets and the city attorney be author-
ized and empowered to take any nectar-
sary ste to have the railroad bridge of
the Dan ury and Norwalk Railroad com-
pany, outhe lower end of South Maid
street. if any portion of the bridge is
within the city limits, raised and widen-

was [tardy in tliocily and partly in the
town.

Engineer W. B. Rider was given per-
iuission to make ostatemcnt. He said
that when the railroad was built the la
l'llfioll of the roadway was changed so
that tho allotments of the bridge came
mo and one-half feet outside the citv
limits. as would be seen by a map whic

lll‘ had made at that time. This state-

of s on years the borrower should be-
come the owner of his home, free of an

incumbrauces. and also to furnish a sa 0
means for the investment of savings.

That there was a field for such an in-
stimtion is showed by the much good it
has aecnmplhbed in its short ex-
lime. en a women who have no
other income except their weekly wages
are paying for modest little homes. re-
moving incnmbrances, or else investing
their savings where they give the great-
est and surest return.

The organizers of the association had
no intention whatever of making the in-
stitution a money-making investment
for themselves. (in the contrary. the
profits revert to the benefit of the hives
tors.

Then again, the institution has a
marked tendency to build up the home
life of the working classes and provide a
safe means for enabling them to remove
from tho tenements and corrupt in

finances and crowded districts to homes
they have themselves bought.

The Norwalk Building, Loan and lo-
vestment association is planned, in all
its essential features. after the celebrated
and very-successful Birkbeck company
of New York. which at first glance, it
might be supposed, was deaigned to be a
rival and competitor of savings banks,
but its plans are ucli more liberal.
and the provisions ado for accommn
dstinginveators are such that the com-
pany occupies a unique position among
loan institutions. Saving banks are
banks of deposit, whose obligations' are
payable on demand. An asstwiation or-
ganized on the Birkbeck plan does not
receive depoaits subject to check, but.
on the contrary, issues shares to those
who wish to deposits stated sum in cash.
or by agreement. monthl , n n whlcb
annual dividends are cit or colored or
crodited.sccordin to the nature of the
shares subscribed or.

Provision is made for withdrawal
when desired by the shareholder. but the
procciisisnecesaarily slower than from
the savings banks, and is limited to thir-
ty days at all times.

The method of loaning funds presents
a still greater contrast. The envious
banks are restricted by law and cannot
loan at more than the legal rate of lute-r-
est, nor more than fifty percent. of the
appraised value of the property. These
restrictions bring them In competition
with the funds of other large cor rs
tiona and estates with money to can.

them to return on y it low rate of inter-
net to their depositors.

borrower is required to pay a portion of
the principal borrowed every month with

constantly increased. and the rlilr de-
