Many members of the South Norwnlk Congregational church attended the an- nual meeting, held last night in the lee. turn-room. A brief devotional service, conducted by the pastor, preceded the rcsdingof the annual reports from the heads of all departments of the church, as follows: People’s Institute. C. E. Jennings. chairman of committee; Jun. for Young Peoplo’l Society of Christian Endeavor, lira Gerald B. Beard; Hnn' garish work, ileury 0. Bailey, chair man; King's Daughters’ circle. Elsa Margaret Louder, secretary; Young People's society of Christian Endeavor. W. L Porter, president; Ladies' Mission. ary society. lliss Eliza Platt, presi- dent; Sunday school. J. M. Lay. ton. superintendent; Sunday scrool treasury, John ll. Ferris; library, Charles S. tit. John;music, l). E. Dis. brow, chorisler; ushers. C. S St. John, chairman; church treasurer. E. Beard; church clerk, Nelson Dickerman. Etch report contained information of much interest and showed growth of a substantial character during the year in every department. very gratifying to all who labored tothin end. The financial reports were especially noticeable for the fact that, in spite of the business depres- sion, the benevolenors exceeded by sev. eral hundred dollars those of the pre- ceding year. The pastor will give his annual report. including in it a brief review of those made last night, in his sermon next 8on- day. Prison for Ochoa! Children.

He was, however, looking out for the interests of the town, and the only reason he refused to sign the necessary paper, giving the compiuy permission tocomc, was because of the indelioiteness of the document. Blank spaces were left in several places, to be filled in by the Tramway officials after the aeleetmen's signatures had been ob- tained. Another feature of the layout which be strongly objected to, and done yet, is the course of the road near the Dar-ion and Norwalk line. The layout gave the company permission to construct the line on the northerly side of the Colonel’s road, and when the bridge was reached to cross over and go across a bridge to be built by the Tramway company south of the present one, and when on the Norwalk side cross the highway again and continue on the northerly aide. llr. Monkey in of the opinion that inasmuch as everything pomible is being done at present to do away with grade crossings, th‘e Tramway company should not have been given permission to cross the highway, but should have been com- pelled to keep on the north side all along. taking the present bridge for its own use, and building a new one for the useof the towns and public interested.
