The selectmen of Norwalk have a dis-
agreement. It rises out of the refusal of
Selectman Thomes to sign acall for a
town meeting unless it is held in the
evening. Many agree with the views
of Mr. Themes. To hold sucha meet-
ing in the afternoon makes it almost im~
mssible for three-quarters of the citi-
zens to attend it. The same rule holds
good in Stamford—Stamford Advocate.
In truth there is a good deal of the
farcical about these measles cards any-
way. They inform the passing traveler
that one or more cases of measles are in
a certain house. They don‘t seem to
stop any one going in who has business
to do, nor do they prevent the well occu-
pants of the house from going in or out,
or mingling with their fellow citizens in
business or other affairs as they see fit.
Apparently nothing practical whatever
in the nature of, a quarantine follows
the announcement in big letters of mea-
sles within. It seems sufficrcntly obivous
that in a disease of so generally mild a
nature that the enforcement of no real
quarantine is thought necessary, the
practice of affixing a measles card. and
letting it go at that, is an absurdity.-—-_

it Is alleged that from the total sum a
great aniount, probably 83,000,000. has
been taken from the company without
giving any value whatever therefor.
It Is also alleged that so far there have
been discovered no records of these most
important trilnnactions during the seven
years covered by the administration of
Mr. Mayor. and' It Is further alleged that
either no books concerning them ware
kept or that they have been placcd where
the committee has not been able to see
them.
Upon learningcf this state of affairs the
members of the committee decided that
the whole truth must be brought out, and
they have determined to sift the matter
to the bottom. let the blame fall where it
may. It is stated that no one who is ocg~

took place as the result of the deals made
or that he knew of what really was go‘

It is not claimed that the $12,500,000 of
increase of floating debt represents the
loss of that amount by the Baltimore and

the members of the reorganization com-
