' with the exception of George S. Trow-

 

C; 8. Trowbridge & Son petitioned for
permission to repair their buildings. rs-
ctutly damaged by fire. They propose

w‘u referred to Councilman Hatch. and

. later in the evening Fire Marshal E. V.
Baker said he could see no objection to

grunting the petition, and it passed
unanimously.

~Elton E. Baker asked for permission
to build an addition to a shed on the
southerly side of thelbarn used by him
as a livery stable. situated on the easier-
ly side of Spring-street; the addition to
hotels by about thirty-eight feet. Re-
ferred to committee on fire department.

Electric Light Commissioner Vollr
said the telephone. over which there
wasncoutroversy two weeks ago. was
removed from the police rooms in l892.
One was not pm in the light station
until 1895. In consequence. the state-
ment that the telephone had been re-
moved from the police headquarters and

in the light station was not true.
fl bellman Smithmho made the report.
fluid he had been informed by a citizen,

- at that time. that the telephone had been
removed from the police to the electric

mission was granted to Ruth &
Goldschmidt to complete a bicycle shed.
8x75 feet. on thgwept side of their fac-
my in Ann street.

The residents of Crescent street and
vicinity petitioned to have the walk on
the north side of the street remain as it
is at present. seven feet in width.

The Street Commissioners approved
thepefition of The Nor-walk Tramway
company for an additional track to its
barn in Woodward avenue. provided
that the company would notify the Com-
mission when the work was begun. The
Council granted the petition. subject to
the recommendation of the Commission.

The Street Commision was voted $20!
for use on the city streets.

A bill of $09 fill was received from the
Case. Lockwood 8r Brainard company.
of Hartford. for printing sou copies of
the revised city, charter of South Nur-
walk- Some of the councilman thought
the bill was pretty steep. but it was
ordered paid.

Councilman Comatock reported that.
after a consultation with the city attor-
ney. he considemd there was no lia-
bility on the part of the city for an in-
jury auataiued some time ago by Mrs.
John B. Johnson by a fall. The matter
was laid oh the table.

' John Britta had reported to Council-
man Comatook that the sewer in Pine
street, connecting with another sewer
under the railroad tracks was
causing trouble; that when the sown-r
was put in one of the council-
man had said if it were not large enough
it wouldbe replaced. The matter was
referred to the Street Commission.

Councilman Kendall said complaints
had been brought to him regarding

‘ the sanitary condition of the Franklin
street school. He had had correspond-
ence with County Health Ufllrer Hill
and Dr. Lindsley about the matter. and
they had referred him to Warren ll.
Briggs. of Bridgeport. who has a na-
tional reputation as an architect and
builder. He had been in South New
Walk and looked over the school build-
l , and had found the Franklin street
more; especially lacking in many im-

tallt essentials to n goo l salami-house.
Mr. Briggs took a plan of the building
to examine. and hsu enlmquently writ—
ten Dr. Kendall the following letter:

Dr. Ks said the statutes provided
that a Board of Health could condemn a
school building. ,Ee thought our citi-
zens did not appreciate the condition of
the schools. and that if it should soon be
necessary to expend 81.000. 39.000 or
H.000 on the present building it might
make some difference about voting to
build a new school-house. The State
Board of. Education sent a roan here
Saturday to look over the buildings and
had promised to make a report. but it
had not yet arrived. Councilman Hatch
suggested submitting the correspondence
to the school meeting. tonight. and on
motion the matter wu laid on the table
until the next meeting.

Health Committee Kendall was given
power to -abate nuisances throughout
the city. lie thought one of the most
disgraceful pieces of property was the
[re Seymciur land in Monroe street.
The owner. B Adams. was anxious to
have a sewer put in the street, and be
thought a sewer could be run into State
street. Referred to committee on
streets.

The matter of the curb under the
Spring street railroad bridge was referred
to the Street Commissioners.

Councilman Soofield stated that. in
the matter of burning the electric lights
all night. he had interviewed about
twenty-five of the signers of the peti-
tion. All but five had said they were
opposed to having the lights burn all
in t. Some of the petitioners went so
fa tosay they signed anything that
came along. and did not even know what
they were signing. The cost of burning
the lights on average of my hours more
each night would be $1.400. He recom-
mended that the matter go to a city
meeting.

Councilman Comstcck suggested an
amended that an extra tux be laid. col-
lectabls at once. to defray the expensciu
case the lights were voted. It was final-
ly decided to refer the matter to City
Attorney Light. to see if the light ques-
tion could not be voted on at the same
time as the new city charter.

Reference was again made to the side-
walk in Crescent street. Mr. Winches-
ter gavaas his reasons for signing the
petition that the original layout was
seven feel; there was no need of a side-
walk. and. in fact. none had been asked
for-simply a curb and gutter were
wanted. There was no need to make it
nine feet wide to accommodate a few
poles. ‘

Mr. Hatch thought thirty-four feet
was wide enough for the street. A by»
drant. used by sprinkling carts. would
have to be moved. This hydrant Was a
source of revenue to the city.

"Yes.” said Mr. Winchester. "and a
mud hole for the citizens "

"But." stated Mr. Hatch. “you don‘t
use that side of the street "

A. R. Tyler did not think it necessary
to make the walk nine feet wide: it was
better to have a wide road, as there was
a great deal of travel in the street by
carriages.

Street Commissioner McMahon said
the walk or. seven feet, with those large
poles in it. gave a narrow appearance.
Two feel taken from the street would
not he noticeable If they continued to
remain as they are no person would be
virtually wronged. but if more luck on a
seven-foot sidewalk line he thought the
property-owners would be.

The matter was laid on the table. ow-
ing to the fact that a quorum was not
present.

Editor of Evening Seminole—Dear
Sir: In your issue of today appears a
communication on the school question.
signed by 8. C. Palmer. Mr. Palmer's
performances for the past few months
are explained in some degree in the clue
ing paragraph of his letter. He follow
that "time will be sure to bring changes
in our committee." It is well known
that Mr. Palmer has been for sometime
a candidate for a position on that com-
mittee. His evident intention is to keep
himself well in evidence in order to ef-
fect his purpose. Whether abuse and
misrepresentation are proper weapons
for agentloman to use in such a cum-
paign is a question of ethics for his in-
dividual conscience to decide. It is also
a question of public concern how far the
community will approve such methods.
and how far it will follow a leadership
that bodes no good to our schools. Does
my language seem severe? are facts
which I will refer to in this communion“
tion will show that ltis entirely wars
ranted.

Mr. Palmer does not approve of the
way in which the district committee ap-
peared before the special committee on
the selection of a site: He insinuales
that the district committee. after the
hearing before the special committee. de—
cided to prepare and present the state-
ment which has been published. Allow
me to state the actual facts. On the
evening when the members of the spec-
ial committee were chosen the district
committee decided to file with the spec ~
ial committee a full statement of the
situation. accompanied with an expres-
sion of their own views. together with
all data having a bearing upon the ques-
tion tohedecided. such let enumeration
and registration lists covering certain
streets and localities. In short. they dc-
cided to present in tangible form for the
use of the special cimmlttee all neces-
saryiuformatiouas well as a matured
statement of what they judged to be
best for the educational interests of the
district. For parsnip this entirely
proper and solf-re-pect g course they
are assailed. as they would have also
been had they appeared in person before
the special committee and urged their
views at the public hearing. They could
not expect. whatever they did. to avoid
misrepresentation and abuse. Their
only concern was to do fearlessly what—
ever theirposition as guardians of the
interests of our sclumls demanded. and
for thecourse they have pursued I feel
that they are called upon to offer no
apolosy- .

Again, the district committee are criti-
clued by bit. Palmer for persistence in.
their own ideas, and. as he says. using
their official position to force those ideas
upon the district. I do not acknowledge
either the justice of his criticism or the
truth of what he avers in support of it
1 claim for the district committee the
right. as men. to have views. i assert.
further, that it is their duty. as school
officials. not only to have views. but In
give them public expression. What are
they there for. Mr. Palmer? Through
out the whi e discussion about a school
site they h e endeavorml to meet men I
of all shades of opinion courteously and v
fairly. That they have not ignored any
petition on the part of voters in the dis,
trict no man has better reason for know
lug than Mr. Palmer.

i might illustrate Mr. Palmer's llllflflll“
ptehensinn of facts at length and in do-
fail. but lctlwo ulorv citations suflicv
if anythingin our present situation is
evident it lslhat our school rooms are
crowded and thntiwo of the rmnns m
the Knudsen building are luminvenient
and ill-adapted to school purposes. llow
does Mr. Palmer meet them facts“: llyu
characteristic dl'llllll of both of them.
Two of the rooms in tho Knudsen build-
ing will ncmnunmlufe no there than
thirty-five scholars each. yet be pro-
nonnces them good school rooms for the
district to hire. although he has just
stated in a preceding paragraph there
should be fifty scholars to a room. A
sharp little turn of this kind. hewevor.
has no disturbing edect upon Mr. l’sl-

war.

I have not the space to follow llr. Pal-
mer point by polm through the devious
ways of his communication. it is a
tissue of misrepresentation. unfounded
lusluustlon and assumption from troglo-
ulng to end. limolmeus of his methods
l have already noticed. As an added in-
stance. notice how he meets the nice
of a high authority cited by the bidet
committee in there statement which he
is criticising. They referred to decretary
Blue not as the only authority on a
cor punt. as ltr. Palmer in his
ob ratio way luriauaus. but
hscanw the name of the official head of
the system of public instruction in this
state might be supposed to carry some
weight. Whom shall we listen to. then?
In a later rumph this question is
answered. than no a per-tin than
Hr. if. 0. Palm himself. Notice this
«mutation. "1 tasks this statement on

8cm Obittllsls ltlleteuliles’s Selection.

Editor of the Sentinel: If the schoiil

that the special committee's selection is

issue is. couveulellciug one end of the
district. at the inconvenience of at law

Now. Mr. Editor. seriously. is it in

Mr. l'lrlitor: The call for a school

the spi-cialslle committal. In if. this
special committee, clutching of the pub-

Again. this room says. "We gave all
places a careful and ccusclcntlons
consideration in connection with
its desirability and where the
wants of the greater number of children
were evident." Did they in ”llillllfll’dl‘

purposes
y In Editor. has no foundation in fact.

All school-rooms of sufficient floor
area are seated with fifty (or
more) sittings. The principal’s
ofllos room has but twentyvfcur sit-
tings. because the floor space is only
thirteen feet by twenty-two feet. The
two Knudsen rooms..seeond floor. have
only“ thirtynfour sittings. due to floor
area. To the careful taxpayer. whom
fir. Palmer is fishing for. let me suggest.
if we had two properly equipped school-
rooms. as we ought in a new school-
house. Grahlteville or elsewhere. the
one hundred sittings in two rooms
would take care of above ninety-two
scholars with one less teacher. and the
cost of one teacher would he saved.

The district committee. despite Mr.
Palmer's statement. are seeking suitable
class rooms for fifty each.

Again. did not Mr. Palmer see in the
Knudsen first floor room eighty sittings.
instead of fifty? And each school day
they are occupied. too.

If he favored Franklin street in his
search for criticism. he found eighty
sittings in the Kindergarten room. and
the seats occupied. too. .

Heartily do we agree that these should
be but fifty. Two cighty's equal me.
There is another classroom needed to
take this surplus sixty.

Again his statement. “There is no
good reason why we should not con-
tinue to use the Knudsen building. I
have visited it." That settles it. Talk
about Bass Light! Boss Palmer has.
by inspection. ended all controversy.
Mr. Health Officer, and inspectors. you
are wrong. The building is not an-
healthy;"tho lower room is ideal. and
the two upper rooms are good ones."
Good. because they can accommodate
only thirty-four each. But Mr. Palmer
warns taxpayers to see that no teacher
escapes; give each one fifty.

Possibly. Mr. Reader. if Mr. Palmer
had some children.” I hate. in these
grades where over fifty are present
daily. he might not be unwilling ihlt
the number he reduced. so each teacher
might give more individual attention to
his child. But—well, aside with person.
alities.

Further. Mr. Palmer's statement that
"any man in this city who is unwilling
to send his children to the most conven-
ieut public school will be very likely in
any event to patronize a private one."
is not true Who told him so?

The committee. in their communion
tion. perfinently ask. "is there any rea-
son or excuse why. in our district. we
should have one kind of school in one
section and another kind in another? "

if there is one better graded than
another. the parents want that for their
children. own if not the "thirst conven-
ient " It isn't so strange. either. Evan
hfr. Palmer lil'lll’f’rl the best return for
his taxes. Perhaps our taxes entitle us
to best also.

Thanking you for space on-npiwl, very
truly. A Tsxmrnn.

C. Swartz. A. Solmaus. C. E. Jennings.

The president, vice-president and sec-
retary were made a committee to draft
a constitution and by-laws.

It was the sense of those present that
a small annual membershipfee be charg-
ed. not to exceed 83.00. and that a strong
effort be made to induce as many as pos‘
sible to become members.

After the organization was completed
it was made known that the firm of A.
d: S. Blumehtbal. of New York. manu-
facturers of silk plush and ribbons. de-
sired to locate in South Norwalk. The
firm has a plant. valued at $200,000. now
in operation. They want to separate
the plush from the ribbon factory.
and to bring the former here.
This branch of their business
gives employment to about is” opera-
tives. mostly men. Geiglrge F. Carroll
and E. A‘. Woodward have been in cor-
respondence with and called on the
firm. and reported very favorably re-
garding them and lhelr business. They
desire grounds abouttm feet square and
two buildings. one 100x100 feet. one
story, the other 100x50 feet. two stories.
Such a plot is believed to be obtainable
at the corner of Day and Prospect
streets. The grounds and necessary
buildings. it is believed, can be provided
for about $27,000. The firm agrees to
pay ten per cent. a your rent on the
cost. and wants the option to purchase
at the expiration of ten years.

We believe that a Board of Trade has
been organized with business in it. and
that the result will be a business do-
vclopment and prosperity that a town
situated asNorwalk is ought to have.
Many bow York manufacturers are
looking for new locations for suflicient
reasons. and no place contiguous to the
great cit y offers better advantages than
Norwalk. A Board of Trude is needed
to call their attention to the place, and
every citizen ought to become a them.
her of the organization.

There is an expense attending this
work that can be met easily if all will
coniributealittle, and a small annual
fee will raise all that A necessary.

The next meeting will be held next
Monday night. at the Council room.
and an earnest invitation is extended to
all to be present.
