wii inquire into the facts referred to at
once. We have tried to lay our tracks
in the locality in question in conformity
with your order and to the satisfaction of
your officers. Will you kindly assist us
~in this matter by favoring us with a pro»
file of that portion of the street showing
us just what you wish done. By so
doing Yyou will confer a great favor upon
as. ours respectfully, .
E. J. HlLL,
President Norwalk Street Railway
campany.
A motion was made that the matter be
left to the discretion of the street com-
mittee, but they objected. Councilman
Nash did not want to decide on anything
until it was learned how much the street
would have to come down, and whether
the city could be made to bear a portion
of the cost. This latter question. he
thought, would probably have to be set-
tied in the courts. Councilman Schaub
said he understood that the company
was dissatisfied with the manner in
which the pave-innit had been put down.
and that if it was torn up the work would
probably not entail any expense to the
city. The Council decided to g) in n
body at 7 o‘clock tonight to Seymour
place and look over the line at that point,
and leave the. matter in the hands of the
committee on streets.
Quitea number of visitors were pre-
sent. Edgar ll. Fox desired to know if
anything was to be done With West street
this summer. lie said he bud been un-
able to find out from City Engineer
Briggs, although the city engineer had
been surveying there several days. Mr.
Briggs said be had made a surrey of the
street, but. had been stopped by M. M.
Norton and J. H. Knapp, who claimed
he had encroached on their property and
they were opposed to his going further.
Councilman Nash said it was very likely
work would be commenced within a
month.
George (,iedney said he appeared again
in ”the interest of the Lexington avenue
residents. They wanted water there
very badly, and could have it if the
street was out down and graded. Sur-
veyor Briggs said it would cost about
$700 to put the street in good condition.
Councilman Nash thought the thorough-
fare should be properly laid out, and
was not in favor of spending more
money on it in its present condition.
Councilman Slater was in favor of not
ting water through the street and made
amctlon that the sum of 3500 be spent
there. This the Council voted to do.
8. B.Tristriim wanted to know what
wastobedone in the matter of the ex-
taiuicuof Day street. He claimed that
last week then dumped earth on his
building lots without even asking his
permission. He claimed that the prop-
any was ruined by the carrying through
oftlis street. Engineer Briggs said be
supposed thesity had bought the prop-
wandtbatliebadarlghttodumpthe
earth there.

KWeuilsat all its Issue on
Resolved, That Matthew Corbett. city
treasurer, be, and be is hereby authoriz-
ed and directed to collect all of the un-
collected taxes on said lists, as debts in
favor of the city. agreeable to the statute
in such cases provided.
Chief of Police Vollmer thought it
would be better to have more superan-
merary policemen. and Mayor Lee nomi-
nated John Toothiil, of Ann street. for
the position.’ He was unanimously
elected.
Councilman Hoyt, committee on fire
department, recommended that the an-
nual apprOpriation of $50 to Putnam
Hose company and $25 each to the Old
Well Hook and Ladder company. and
the Fire Police, be made. After some
discussion it was decided-to give the two
first mentioned organizations $37.50
each and the Fire Police $25.
’Councilman Hoyt also sent in the fol'
lowing communication:
I would recommend that the horse
now at Putnam Hose house he kept for
the use of the fire companies only. in
in order that the city may have prompt
and efficient service at all time in cases
of fire, and that the practice of having
the horse work on the street, as proposed
at first by this Chuncil, be discontinued.
for three reasons: First, in case of an
alarm of fire, if the horse should be at
work upon the street four, five or six
blocks away, it would take eight or ten
minutes be are the horse could get to the
hose house and be ready to respond to
the alarm with the apparatus; second,
our firemen are always prompt to ree-
pond to all alarms of fire, and do all in
their powerto save city or public pro
perty, but if they are at the
fire and the apparatus and tools are not
they cannot be expected to do what is
required of them; third, it has been said
and can be found on all fire records, that
the first five or ten minutes at a fire are
the most important, and if there is not
prompt service,we, the city, are the ones
who suffer for not having such service.
Councilmen Sculley, Nash and Slater,
with Mr. Hoyt, were in favor of passing
the re€0lution, substantially for the rea-
sons given, while Councilmen Schaub
and Seymour claimed that when the
horse was purchased, together with the
cart and harness, it was the intention of
having the streets worked by them, and
they thought the driver could work with
the horse also. it was voted: however,
that the communication of Councilman
Hoyt be accepted and the recommenda-
tions adopted.
Councilman Schaub requested his re-
lease from the committee on fire depart-
ment and the Council obligingly gave it
to him. ,
The following resolutions were offered:
Resolved. That the committee on fire
department he and hereby is authorized.
directed and empowered to expend a
sum, not to exceed $2,500. under the ad-
vice and direction of the Council, for the
improvement of the fire department and
purchasing apparatus therefore.
Resolved, That the committee on fire
department he and hereby is authorized,
directed and empowered to purchase a
new truck for the fire department at a
cost not to exceed $1,450.
Councilman Nash was of the opinion
that the city was not ready to purchase
two more horses for the use of the firs
department unless it was the intention
of having them also work on the streets;
he thought the present equipment was
sulllcir-nt for some time to come. Coun—
cilman Slater said the finances were so
disturb !d by the defalcarion of $3,000 or
“.000 by Tax Collector Snyder, and the
tronsurysl‘l iil‘pleted. that it would not
be wise to appropriate such a sum at
this time. The resolutions Wt'i‘t‘ lziid on
the table.
Councilman lloyt reported that the
lockup hurl bvcn thoroughly stunned
again.
The b )3le then adjourned.
MUST HAVE MORE WATER.
The Subject Discussed rat the Meeting of
the City Council of Nrirwnlk.
The scarcity of water in tho Norwalk
reservoirs was the principal topic dis»
cussed at the meeting of the City (loun-
cil of Norwalk. last night. Mayor E. O.
Keeler. who was chairman of the special
committee appointed to look after the
interests of the city in the new reservoir
question, made the following report:
Tollw Honorable all” Council: Your
committee appointed to look over the
matter of the water supply of the city of
Norwalk. do recommend to the City
Council that they call at the earliest con-
venience a city meeting for the purpose
of making such appropriation as may be
deemed necessary for the purchase or
condemnation of the various mill rights
from the Groups reservoir to the city,and
also makean appropriation to pay for
the change of t e roadway where land
has been purchased for a future reser-
voir.
Councilman Wheeler thought that the
matter of laying larger pipes to bring
water down from the storage reservoirs
to the distributing reservoirs
should be considered, and an appropria-
tion asked for at the same time the other
amount was.
Water Commissioner Mead believed in
securing the rights of the stream tint.
He suggested, howevar, that a separate
claims he put in the call for the meeting,
asking for an appropriation for the lay-
ing of such a pipe. He said that the

propriations for the purchase or condem-
nation of the different water and mill
rights between Groupe’s reservoir and
the city, and to change roadways where
necessary if deemed advisable: and also
to appropriate, money necessary to lay a
pipe of sufficient dimensions to bring an
adequate supply of water from Croupe's
reservoir to the city.
The bill of W. J. Tracey. of the city
Board of Health, for $42.70,lfor establish-
ing quarantines and other duties of his
office. was referred to the finance com-
mittee and the city attorney, with power.
City Clerk Lockwood was instructed
to open a separate account for the con-
struction of the Butler street sewer and
charge the bill of Salvator Chariot to it.
The total amount is $770.40, and the
amount due is $610.40.
A petition fora ciirh and gutter on Leon-
ard street was discussed. Councilman
E. S. Adams favored the petition. and it
was voted to order the work done.
A petition was pretentvd asking the
city to accept and work Hillside avenue
and Loomis sreete. J‘ohn Dunlop appear-
ed in behalf of the petition. He said
these thoroughfares were in bad condi-
tion: that they had never been accepted
by the city. The matter Was referred to
the highway committee. ,
Chairman Osborn. of the police com-
mittee, reported that there were no ar-
rests on July 4 or the night before, and
that no acts of vandalism had been re-
ported. The boys had also been 'very
considerate in parts of the city where
there was sickness.
Councilman Chinery, of the commit-'
tee on fire departments, caused the sen
sation of the evening. He stated that,
as chairman of the committee ap.
pointed to investigate the condition of
the city fire alarm telegraph system, he
had made a personal tour of inspection.
He found that the system could hardly
be in worse condition. Some of the
glass insulators were gone and the wire
was simply tied up with strings. In
many places the insulation was worn
from the wires and they were badly
grounded. They ran through trees,bung
high and low , and were in danger of be-
ing broken and unreliable at any time.
Box ~i1l, on East avenue, was grounded
and on France street a box had been cut
out for three months until the other
day. He stated that John ll. lloyt, the
superintendent of the system, had claim-
edthat he did not know his duties. or
whether it was his place to keep the line
in repair or not. The committee had
taken this into consideration. and at a
meeting held the other evening to talk
up the matter, a communication from
Mr. Hoyt to a former Court of Burgesses
had been found on file. It read as fol-
lows:
NORWALK. CL, September '13. 1856.
To the Honorable (‘onrl of Burgl’im’a.
GENTS: If you have not already made
arrangements for the care of your fire

order, make such changes in line as may
be required. keep lines in repair. and
strike the bell each day at 1‘.) in, meridian
limo, Sundays excepted. This would
not only furnish the correct time but it
uoiild also show at that time ecu-ii day
that the lines were all clear.
Yours Very ltosiw‘lfiilly.

Mr. Cliincry c.»ritinued,saying that the
committee considered this prim“ fru'ii'
evidence that be clearly understood his

sewer committee. brought up the matter
of a public dumping ground. 'He said
that, as the city had now made arrange-
ments for the carting sway of refuse at
such small expense to the citiaens, that
they should be required to either arisen-
such proposition or be obliged tobury
tbsirrefuls at their owneapsnas. Bu
did notnowsse themed of apatite

City Attorney Lockwood reported pro-
gress in the matter of the injunction
cases on East avenue.
Councilman Adams, chairman of the
highway committee. reported that al-
though the elm trees had been sprayed.
the slurrs and worms were now at the
haseof the trees and under the bark.
He suvgested the use of kerosene oil to
kill them. as it would not injure the
trees. After some discussion upon the
best methods of saving the trees from
the ravages of insects. the matter was
left to Mr. Adams, with power, and a re-
quest made that he notify the citizens of

_ was very rigid and well-executed, each
command being responded
prompt and soldieriy manner.
At the conclusion of the bittalion
drill the companies formed for dross pa~
rude, which was also conductul in a
very efficient way, the whole coming to

Make Witty and Entertaining B’seelaea
on a Varlety of Timely Topics. l; .
About twenty-five members of the ;
Young Men’s Debating club, left the
South Norwaik Library building, yestsr- ,
day afternoon. in the Wellington, on the .
first outing of the club. The carryall
was elaborately decorated with bunting
and‘flags. and the members canted with
them horns and lusty lungs. as ,was no
doubt believed by the good folks who
reside along the road between Norwaik
and Stamford. A merry, rollicking,gnod
time. with songs, shouts and savage
blasts of wheezy tin home was the feature
of the ridetoShippan. The club arriv-
ed at Shippan a few minutes after eight,
wherea shore dinner was served to the
half-famished pilgrims. After the din-
ner had been disposed of and allowed to
settlé effectually to admit of comfortably
receiving the intellectual feast, which
had been duly prepared and provided
for, the toastmsster, W. J. Leland, in
troduced in a few well'chosen and witty
sentences,~E. Job Hawkins. who inthe
absence of Mr. Paddock, responded to
the first toast: "Our country. She
needs no eulogy; there she stands, behold
her, and judge for yourselves. Therein
her history, the world knows it by
heart." Mr. Hawkins gave one of his
characteristically entertaining talks, and
took his seat amid the deafening ap-
plause of the party. The second toast:
“The State of Connecticut; rich in the "
arts and the industry of her people. and
great in the fruits of her education and
her liberty; her unfaitering progress;the
ever-ascending monument,” was re-
spimlul to by Leo Davis, who briefly
and clenrlv reviewed the history of Con-
necticut. from its founding by a colony
of twelve. to the present time, some
amusing anecdotes of Yankee shrewd-
uess and ingenuity, and who read some
curious, interesting blue laws. which‘
were in force during our early colonial
history. Wilbur F. Smith had the next
toast of the evening: “The City of South
Norwalk; will you walk with me about
the town." which he handled in a thor-
oughly effective and engaging speech,
replete with sharp witticisms and ;l\
a. glowing descripiion of the great advan-
tages and possibilities as a city. “Our
club, great objects from great minds;
with time and patience the mulberry
leaf becomes silk," was answered“by
Charles Benedict, who portrayed with
enthusiastic urrnestness the advantages
to be gained from debating organizations,
and their influence for good of the char-
acter of their members. The last toastof
the evening: “()ur Urbano," was re-
sponded to in a hmnnrons resume of the
monthly debates of the club, by Fred H.
