The South Norwalk Board of Council-
men held their regular mé’eting last
, night. Mayor Lee presided and all mem-
, bers of the Board were present.
Following the reading of the minutes
of the preceding meeting by City Clerk
Crows, Councilman Nash reported pro-
, (rm regarding the Bayvisw avenue lay-
out. He said '1'. 1. Raymond desired to
. examine the maps further anti confer
with Mr. Thompson, agent for the Nash
property. and see if something could not
be done regarding the street. The Coun.
cil voted to adjourn the hearing until
next Friday evening. Councilman Nash
further reported that if. M. Norton
claimed the layout of West street did not
run right according to his line, and that
if the Council would agree to preserve
his hedge in making the improvements,
and have the sidewalk only seven feet
wide, he would make no objections. Mr.
Nash recommended that a map be made
in accords ,with the above, and that
the street co mitlee be instructed to go
ahead and complete the war? , already
started. The recommendations met the
approval of the Board, and passed unani-
mously. ‘
The sum of $4.50 was ordered abated
on the tax of Mrs. Emily I-ioyt, it being
shown that she had ten shares less of
stock in the Stamford National, bank
than was credited her.
The petition of residents and property-
owners on Pleasant street to have the
water main extended four hundred feet
in that locality, was referred to the com-
mittee on water to confer with the
Water Commissioners. ,
The committee appointed to soc about.

ed.
The committee on finance recommend—
ed an appropriation of $400 for the idles.
tric Light Commissioners; $300 for the
committee on police. and a like sum for
the committee on streets. The clerk was
instructed to draw orders for the above
amounts.
It was moved that the n-solutions re
garding police niatttrs be taken from
the table. Then Councilman Slater
madea motion that instead of nomina-
ting one man. the mayor read thesaurus
of the valious applicants and allow the
Council to cast their ballot as tho-y
chose, Councilman Htjllllr‘y thought llw,

that the treasurer slatml that already
over $150,000 had been flfrllt‘t'lt'l. lll'
recommended the paying of fire city
notes of “2,300 or. the City National
bank, and the not: in the Norwalk
Savings bank for $4,500, drawn by the
Water Commissioners. and which wag
ordered taken up at a recent city meet'
ing. Complying with the t'ommlitl'e's
fluglffitltloi’lfl. the Council instructed the
city clerk to draw orders for these
amounts.
The city clerk was instructed to have
the driver of the supply wagon paid
semi-monthly, and a city order sufficient.
for that purpose was ordered made.
The matter of r lving bids for the
construction of the ylor avenue server
was brought up. Councilman Scullsy
thought the contractors should. as far as
practicable, employ their labor from
among the citizens of Norwalk. Coun-
cilman Nash said if this was demanded
the work would certainly cost consider»
able more. and the taxpayers would prob~
asly object to the foresees in price which
would follow the [tasting of aresoiutlon
nus-M byMr. heulley. The matter
was finally settled by the unanimous
adoption of the following: '

that the owner be compelled to have it
placed in a metallic tank. The matter
was referred to the committee on lira de-
partmsnt, with power.
The committee appointed to look into
the matter of spraying the elm. trees of
the city, reported that Engineer Rider’s
hand engine had been placed in order
and the work begun. Of the .100 up-
prop dated by the Council about no had
been expended. and it would cost at least
$500 to complete the work. It would be
necessary to have a man expressly for
the purpose of superintending it, who
understood how to go to work. The
committee thought individuals who de-
sired their trees sprinkled, should do the
work themselves, and that the city spend
no more money spraying trees.
Councilman Schaub said that Meadow
street needed repairing badly, and action
should be taken at once to have it done.
He said the Tramway company had
taken a large quantity of earth from the
side of the street and placed it between
their rails. The committee was instruct-
ed to go ahead anishave the street at
tended to.
it was voted to discontinue the practice
of allowing tramps to sleep in the lock-
up.

The Members Discuss the Work Dongby
the Street Railway Comphny.
The Norwalk Street Railway company
claimed the attention of the City Council
of Norwalk about an hour and a half at
thgir session last night.
President R. J. Hill said work had
been commenced on West avenue, and
as the chairman of the highway corri-
mittec wished a profile of West avenue
presented to the Council, be had one
made. which he would turn over to
the Council. They spent some time
looking at the company‘s layout, as
shown by the profile, and saw that in
some places the tracks were raised above
.the road bed.
(Joiiniilman Adam-i, iliaimiau of thd
highway committee. rorriarkml on this
fact. lie also said changes had been
made in the grade on Main street with-
out the Council being l'nnallllml. lin-
ginccr llill said the changes on West ave-
nue were very slight, but wlieretlic track
was raised it Would do no hurt, as the
road-bed needed a top drmsing of not

“Counpilmnn Adonis «lid not think the

to suit the convenience of the Street itali-

Mayor Keelcr wanted a full discussion
of the work and wished the Council to
thoroughly consider the company‘s lay—
out and see that the city intern-ale were
not neglected. llr- wanted to know the
effect if the rails were lowerwl or ruiscd
slightly to conform to the grade.

Llouucrlmati Chinery asked what had
been done about School street, where
the company had also madea rates of
live Inches. it was stated that the
change at this point was more serious
than on the bill, as if this point was not
lowered, the curb and gutter would
have to be raised for about two hundred
feet, and the present catch basin would
have to be moved aroundon School
street. it was advised that if the city
did not order the track lowered that
they raise the curb and!“ tthtreet

this was done the road there would

Street Railway company or the contrac-

Tax Collector Harman Snyder, accused
of embezzling the city sfuuds, was placed
under arrest yesterday afternoon by Gill-

Snyder's home, 20 Taylor avenue, until
last night, when he was relieved by l’o-
lice Captain Colegrove and Officer Sem-
ple. Simultaneously with his arrest, Mr,
Snyder’s dry goods store on Washington
street was attached for $10. 000, in favor
ofthe city, by Constable Ireland. Ha
bank account was also attached.
At the meeting of the City Council,
last night, Councilman Slaler stated
that, as committee on finance, and in ac-
cordance with a resolution passed at the
last session of the Council, be bed can—
ferred with the tax collector and endeav-
ored toaecurea list of delinquent tax-
payers. He said he saw Mr. Snyder

morning, when Mr. Slater called at the
store, Mr. Snyder was reported to be at
home sick. His daughter ”race, was
there, however, and Mr. Slater told her
he would like the books belonging to the
city, as he could find out from them
what he desired to know. He also told
Miss Snyder to ask her father to send
down any other memoranda he desired
to place in the hands of the Council.
Mr. Slater said that when he called at
the store again in the afternoon. Miss
Snyder reported that her father said he
had nothing futher, and was sick and

the sum of $7,200 was reported due on
the rate bills of '92. Nothing, he said.

the middle of December. Mr. Slater
thought this very singular. lie said Mr.
Snyder had stated that he had taken
checks from peoplrdatezl ahead, as he
felt sorry for them on account of the
hard times, and did not wish to push
them too much; but the checks were
never turned over tothecity. The books
were examined, and it was found that
instead of 87,200 taxes being due, only
$1fi00 remained unpaid. Some taxes
had really been paid, among them that
of Councilman Schaub. and never credit-
ed on the books, and this made matters
worse. Findingashorlage of over $5,-

Several ugly stories were afloat this
morning regarding the manner in which
was that when Mayor (george Lockwood

Switch company be influenced Mr. Sny-
dertotake stock and invest money in
the concern. Some months ago Mr.
Snyder was made treasurer of the com-
pany. The (mmpauy had an office on
Broadway, New York city, and several
tests were made of the switch, which
‘.was patented by Charles ll. Fitch, of
West street. it was reported that sever-
al thousand dollars were expended in per-
fecting the device. A Sr: NTINEI. reporter
called on Mr. Snyder at his home, this
morning, and questioned him regarding
the story, but he refused to either
confirm or deny it, or, in fact, ,talk of his
personal affairs in any way, saying he
had retained Lawyer John J. Walsh, of
Norwalk, as counsel, who, when he call-
ed last night, had advised him not to say
anything regarding the matter. air.
Fitch's home was also visited. but he
was not there. The reportenvas inform-
ed that he was testing his switch on the
tramway tracks.
