The Board of Councilmen of South
Nor-walk held an adjourned meeting last.
night. all the members being present.
Bills to the amount of $470.30 were
ordered paid. I
A petition was received from the Nor-
walk Street Railway company, through
President E. Hill. asking for permission
into Railroad place. Anlllpllt‘t'tllllpltll-
ied the petition. Councilman Hatch
said the former Board of Councilmen
had refused this request. The Board
then voted to lay the matter on the
table. .
City Treasurer Matthew Corbett sub-
mitted his annual report. which was
accepted and placed on tile.
The South Norwulk 'Fire Police sub-
mitted a list of its recently elected oili-
cers, which the Council unanimously
confirmed.
and no message wan sent; that than two
men were not‘thievee. but honorable
cituwnnuioen not alter the cam; they
might have been, His mistake was in
not telling the Adams Express people
that it was for the mbberv i one of
their own offices that these were to
beheld for, and they wuuld naturally
have sent the message which they
would not otherwise have done without
pay. In view of his long and faithful
services on the force, I do not wish him
tobe disturbed from his present posi-
tion, but in future, he must exercise all
his wit. for he seems not overstocked
with it, for a police oflloer should be
able to grasp the situation at once, and
know just what to d and how to do it
instantly. 3
With refemnceytp he personnel of the
police force a code of rules was establish
ed during Mayor Comatock's reigiuie
Previous to that it had been usual to
change the force annually. It was
therefore deemed for the best interest of
the city that this practice should not be
continued; that men should only be rt.-
removed for cause, and not for political
reasons. and that it should be non-partl-
saii. These rules were complied with
and assented to by the succeuling couna
cils of both political' parties, and it
worked well. The Democratic Count-J
of hunt would not nicogmze or be bound
by these non-partinin rules, and I’tllll'W-
ed from the force two men. lrelaiid and
(.Yoiiley. for political reasons, and they
intended to make a clean sweep and re-
movc evcrypoliceniun who was. not a
Democrat: they were prevented only be-
cnuse of their inability to get men peed
enough for their positions rum
their own party. 1 therefore recom-
mend, as an act of justice, that Ireland
and Conley be millhtllt‘d on the force,
both being men with good receeds, con-
scientious. faithful and efficient officers.
and the removal of the two men now
occupying their positions, and so estab-
lish, as far as we can. the non-partisan
I. M. Hoyt applied for another year‘s

one hundred feet north on his lot. and
the one scary buildings at Nos. 103 and l
105 about ten feet east. The matter
was referred to the. committee on fire
department. Councilman Weed, who rc-
character of the police force as a permao
neiit principle. to be carried out by all
succeeding Councils, no matter what
political parties they may be equiposeu
of.
Whilst the force will be. allowed to
exercise their political rights and vote
as they please, they will not be allowed
to actively participate. in elections. or,
as it is known, electioiieer. This. as l
interpret it. does not prevent them from
attending school meetings where elec-
tions are held if they so desire. My re-
gret in thismnttcr is having to renum-
two men against whom no charges have
ported favorably, stating that the bank
was to put up a brick building on the I
site.
Charles James requested that the l

oil voted to substitute 10 for ll p. m.

trouble of late in connection with the
striking of the tire alarm system at 12
and 0 o'clock. He thought if the mat-
ter was in the hands of the («minimum-
era the striking would be better. The
Council voted to give the commissioners
power in the matter. ’
Mayor Inc‘s message was then taken
from the table, and Councilman Hatch
moved thit in reference to the rec-
ommendation about streets and the per-
manent improvement thereof, that
something be done. He said it
woul 9 some time to get the matter
in s pe and present it to the Legisla-
ture, and meanwhile a committee could
be appointed to investigate the subject.
Another matter of great importance was
a park. Last year one was started. but
there was now an oplxirtuiiity to have a
much larger one, and it could be pnr.
chased at a small figure how compared
with what it would cost ii few
ycarslater. There wasals.) nprosp.-ct
that it might be sccurcd for building
Sites if not purchased by the city. This
property lays west of the residences on
West ll\'l‘lml‘,l)(‘l\\’l‘(‘ll Garner and lear
streets. and was owned by E. Beard. the
ticnedict cstntc, iiiid (lould anti H. A.
Seymour. The. owners he had spoken
to had stated that they would sell
cheaper for park than forotlier purposes.
Ex-Conncilniun Golden. who had just
entered the room, was called on for his
opinion. He thought the idea was a
good one. He said if a madway could
no opened near the (‘oiigrcgiitiomil
church. the park would be brought right
to the. entrance of the city, and with its
numerousothcr entrances would prove
most accessible.

The matter of a filter for city water
who said that. notwithstanding the vote
, against it at the city nicct.iig.liethought
mat ”mic-fourths of the citizens wuiilcii
been made. mid to modify it a little, I
rcconi.i.c. id that they be allowed to re-
main until the expiration of the present
month if they choose to do so.
The chief ,
otl‘lcer. and-the city is fortunate ' hav-l
ing a man so competent in e ry re-l
spect to fill so exacting a position. In!
viewcf the fact that his income has:
been reduced through the change in the

of the conscientious and faithful dis-
charge of his duties. I nwoiiinieiid that

i thought the Water (.‘oiiiiiiissioncrs. iiii- 3

was brought up and the members were 7

port of the recent charges mlide by M
Donovan, Jr., against the town court‘;
and police force. It was as follows: l
Mr. Mayor: Your committee appoint- l that our laws and ordinances will faith- I told bin
ed to investigate the various complaints l
against the police. and having in view ‘I
the suggestions contained in your annual l
message, submits the following re
Regarding the statement that thel
court fines in two specified cases wen-l
excessive, also that the police had iiol
right to receive pay from the court. their :
salaries being paid by the city. I I'
thought it heist to see what the judge‘
before whom the cases were tried might l
have to say on the question. I therefore i
went to Judg~ Frost and explained the:
situation to him. and if he had any;
statement to make in reply. I should be :
pleased to receive it, the Council, of 1
course, having no jurisdiction over the?
court. He received your coniinitcel
courteously, and said that the court:
recognized no authority except that
which created it, via: the state. In this
case. if he had erred at all, it was in be-
ing too lenient; if he had done. what he
should have done and as they deserved.
he would have sent them to jail; but he
had listened to the intcn-ession of their
friends and of the. employer of One
of them, who want-ed his eiiiployee'ssci'- 5
vices, being ii foreman and a valuable
man. They were charged on twocountm
one with intoxication and assault, the
other intoxication and breach of the
peace. They both plcdned guilty. .Hc?
fined them $5 each on both counts aiidlil ‘I
each for services rendered by the police. ,
making it $11 for each prisoner. He?
said this was not a trivial offence they ‘,
had been guilty of. but a serious breach
of the. peace. so serious that the saloon i
keeper, seeing rrouble brewing. had gotg
them out of his saloon by temporarily
closing it; that it was a drunken brawl
on the public streets to the annoyance
of people on the street, particularly
women and children. The payment. to,
the officers was right- ,and proper. e
seldom did it. but in this instance he
thought they deserved it. as they were;
not- on duty and had no more. right toE
assist in making the arrests withoutl
remuneration than a private citizen had. ;
As this is a question of law your com-
mittee does not feel called upon to ex- g
press an opinion. i
In regard to the statement that waisl
made of having come through the streets
in the early hours of the morning from i
the depot to Washington street fourteen ‘1
times during the month of December}
and never saw a policeman once in that ‘
time. the police reply that they have
frequently seen him when he. has not
seen them. This to me is not suflicient l
proof that they are always on their post
during the whole night. Your com-
mittee. thinks that a stricter supervision
would secure an improvement. for it is
in the. night. when the people are asleep,
that the police ought to be. the more
alert. .
Your committee investigated the cir-
cumstances about arresting two sup -
ed thieves who had robbed the “Tim!
station master. 'u Colegrove was
not at the depot at t time of the train
going through, but got there a few
moments after. He went into the ex-
press office and told them to telephone
