The citizens of Massachusetts recently
celebrated with great enthusiasm their
new holiday, “Patriots? Day." The in-
habitants of Norwalk are made up of
many people who are interested in the
colonial, historical and Revolutionary as~
sociationn of Connecticut. Massachu-
sette’ example might inspire us to
thought and effort in setting apart a day
fertile commemoration of those brat
men who risked their lives in defense of.
our state: yes. even this very town, dur'
ing the struggle for independence. The
establishment of such It holiday would
aidin awakening in the minds of the
young a'keeuer Interest in the history of
our country and city, and at the same
time lead to the preservation of such
landmarks of important historical events
ea have not yet been sacrificed to the
modern real estate boom. Every, year
the public schools celebrate some event;
this might be utilized as an observation
for the public school. June 19. or some
other day. or portion or the day, might
beast aside on which, with proper ener-
cieea, they may revive local historical
inmost. Probably the fact that (len-
eral’l'ryon landed in this vicinity; that
his army marched through Norwalk on
its way to devastate the neighboring
town of Danbury are within the memory
of anyone, is due thereto a fortunate
combination of circumstances than to
any of the sheets of zealous patriots.

manopportuue time to enter a plea
in behalf of one of Norwnlk's ancient in'
stitutione, or rather a protest against the
ridicule and derision to which it has so
long been subject. We refer to the old
Town Hones. Although, perhaps, no
memories of colonial times cluster around
its crumbling walla; while it may not be
a landmark of the Revolutionary period,
yetthe land upon which the structure
stands is hallowed ground, and many of
the stirring scenes which have marked
the history of the town during the past
sixty years have been enacted beneath
its decaying timbers. Built in 1885, its
erection almost antedotee the recollec-
tion of the oldest inhabitants of Norwalk;
soon they will have passed away, leaving
the old Town House ll silent and solitary
historian of the eventful past. let no
cure for its intimation, that its declining
years may be [tossed in peace: let the
brazen tones of the bell within its lofty
tower ring a. glorious welcome to the
dawn of another year in the annals of
our beautiful town, but let this one land~
mark stand. With bec omiug rcstwct for

The present method of street sprinkling
is very unsatisfactory to the. public, and
mm ll better serIiIo would be rendered if
this line of highway work was carried
on under the management of the street
department. At present [ample who can
afford to pay for the service have from one
to three inches of mud ‘ iu'front of their
premises, while next door is a resident
who is either too ponurious or cannot af-
ford such service. The man whose street,
front is sprinkled with water is just on
liberally sprinkled with mm as is. In},
more economical neighbor. A municip-
al street sprinkling system would treat
all alike, and our principal thorough-
fares, instead of being clouded with dust
these balmy days, would be cool and re-
freshing. The homes the City Council of
Norwalk contemplate purchasing for the
use of-the fire department, could reallly
be adapted to this purlme, and with
broad tires on the wheels of the watering
carts II great improvculcnt would also be
made in the street surface, a» they would
help to keep the thoroughfares well roll-
ed down and smooth. This subject is a
worthy (lfit‘ for the City Council of Nor‘
walk to consider. E. J. 1‘.
Since the landing of the Pilgrims who
emigrated to the New England colonies
a few centuries ago, there seems to have
been in many localities, with the ad—
vancement of civilization, a lack of
energy on all sides. if these same hardy
forefathers were to come up the Sound
again and behold the beauties of advanced
Civilization on the north side of River-
side avenue. would they not open their
eyes in wonder and amazement? Iluta
glance to the south would bring forth,
no doubt. denunciations of the deplor-
able state in which that side of this mag-
nliicient thoroughfare is allowed to exist.
Why not, If the property owners do not
care to build, make a proposition to the
town that they donate this uncultured
spot for a public park? Encourage some
improvement, and do not he arrogant
in your demands. and then this eyesore.
which it truly is. will be remodelled both
to the credit of the real estate owners
whohave created such modern home op-
posite it, and to the town. Let animus
ity be forgotten; let beauty and progres-
sive qualities be heralded, and the citi-
‘zens will be as beneficially rewarded for
their philanthropy as all men have been
in assisting the growth of their town.
