lUVElY GAME OF lllK
Very Little accomplished at Yester-
day’s Special Town Meeting.
ElllllllEIBE ill llBEllAl. DOSES.
But the Important Questions at Issue
Remain Substantially as they were
Moron—About 200 Voters
Present.
The special meeting of the voters of
the town of Norwalk, held in the Town
House yesterday afternoon, resulted in
little‘le— than a game of talk. There
was aliberal display of eloquence; but
the questions at issue remain substan-
tially as they were before. About two
hundred people were present. I
The meeting v'vas called to order at 4
o'clock by Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith,
who read the call of the meeting
Francis Leonard. of Union Park. was
appointed moderator.
The first matter considered was the
widening of the highway under the
Danbury and Norwalk railroad at
Meadow street. as petitioned for by E.
A. Woodward and others, at a sum not
to second 31.500, and to appropriate such
sum for that purpose.
Richard H. Golden said the cost of
widening the highway would be about '
83,000; but the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company would
pay half the expense.
Selectman Isaac Selleok said that one-
half of the highway was in the city of
South Norwalk and one-half in the town
liniits; that if the railroad company was
going topay one-half the expense, the
town ought to be rsponsible for only
onchalf the Manse. which would mean
only one-quarter of the whole bill. He
thought the Tramway company should
also be asked to pay a portion of the bill.
' Mr. Golden was of the opinion that the
work should be done, and suggested that
the selectmen might be able to get some-
thing from the Tramway company. He
thought the city would contribute to-
ward the expense.
1 J. Belden Hurlbutt said that, owing
to the location of the electric light sta-
tion, it would be necmsary to make all
the improvements [on the north side
of the street, which would bring the
work entirely within the city limits.
Under these circumstances it was no
matter of the town, and the town had
no right to do any of the work.
It was stated that the railroad com
pany would help meet the expense; but
because of the paving of Wall street the
Tramway company felt unable to assist
in the matter. It was also said that the
highway was wide enough before the
Tramway company out ch about eight
feet of it by its tracks.
Attorney Levi Warner said the meet-
ing was not intelligent enough about the
matter to vote upon it. and he recom-
mended that a committee be ap-
pointed to ilnd out the price the
railroad and Tramway companies and
the city of South Norwalk would pay
toward the expense, and report at an-
other meeting.
B. W. Maples moved that the chair ‘
appoint acommittee of three to confer
with the railroad company. the Tram-
way company and the city of South
Norwalk, to ascertain what each would
pay toward the expense, and report at a
future meeting.
Dir. flurlbutt asked to amend the
resolution so that. if the city of South
Norwalk would pay some of the bill,ths
bridge might be condemned and the
Tramway company be compelled to pay
its share by assessment.
The motion. as amended. was carried.

The next mutter considered was a
resolution. uttered by I. H. Parsons. to
construct a stone road from the Armory
over the Connecticut turnpike for a dis-
tance of one mile.
lit. lsplss sated it the motion came
within the limits of the state law.
William Sheldon said if there was a
man in the house that could build I

8.0.8001» said that. according to
the stats law. the meeting had no right
to say where ihsrosd should be located.
It. levies then moved that the
clause referring to tbs lwstiun be
strlom out of the resolution.
A correspondence was read from the
direct mums-norms oi Houih nor-
walh, regarding the maturation of
reads.
A vote taken on Ir. llsples' motion
was untried. and the resolution. with
the kinetics stricken out. prevailed.

The nest question was to fix the com-
pensation oi the town assessors here-
after to be elected.
0. E. Wilson asked what the suessors
had been receiving. He was told that
their salary was 3150. Mr. Wilson
moved that they be given 8150 next
year. _
Mr. Sheldon moved that the salary be
fired at $200. and his motion was sec-
ended.
Mr. Hurlbutterplained that the as-
sessors would havd one more month’s
work hereafter. and asked to amend Mr.
Sheldon’s resolution, making the salary
82130.
A vote on the 3250 motion was taken
and lost.
The t200motion was then voted on
and declared lost. The result was doubt-
ed, and another vote was taken and de-
clarrrblost. This was doubted. and the
chair appointed Samuel Lynes. E. 0.
Keoler and Charles Wood tellers. A
rising vote was taken, which resulted in
favor of the resolution by a vote of
eighty-six to forty-three.
11111111: 11111 m:1>s1111.111-11111.1.1z11.
The matter of fixing the price the
cities of Norwalk and South Norwalk
should pay for the use of the town road-
roller was next considered.
Mr. Sheldon moved that a committee
of three be appointed to estimate the
expense of running the road-roller. and
addtothat amount five per cent. for
wear and tear upon the roller.
Mr. Maples moved that the whole
matter be left with the selectmen.
Mr. McMahon said there was a diner.
ence of opinion, even among the select-
m1-11, as to the price that ought to be
paid for the road-roller. He said it was
not the intention of the cities. when
they voted to purchase the roller. that it
should be used by the town to make
money 011.111: said South Nnrwalk
could get the use of a roller from out- of-
town parties for N0 11 day.
E. A. Woodward asked what the act-
ual cost of running the road-roller is
and was told that it was about $3.
Selectman Selleck said he did not
know as there was any ditl’erenoe of
opinion among the selectinen as to the
price that ought to be paid for the roller.
It required half a day to take the roller
to South Norwalk. and he asked who
was to pay the expense of the roller for
that half day, The engineer had to be
paid, and fuel was required to run it be-
tween the cities.
Mr. Light took up the former state-
ment made by Mr. Selleck and made a
long speech on the subject. lie said if
the cost of running the roller was $3, the
cities ought not to be asked to pay 81':
for it. He closed hi.» remarks with a
motion to ii: the price at $11 a day.
Lawyer Honnecker seconded the motion.
Mr. Hurlbutt said there was consider-
able expense for repairing the machine.
He thought ten per cent. ought to be
added to the running cost of the roller,
and that the time the roller was paid for
should include from the time it started
until it' got back to its resting place. lie
said 38 was an unreasonable price.
Mr. Selleck said'he did not see why
South Norwulli should have brought up
the matter. as that city had never paid
acent for the use of the roller. although
a number of bills had been sent.
Mr. Maples said he thought the dis
cussiou was small business. The pre
sent selectmen had conducted the busi
ness of the town during the past year
and saved nearly $14,000. and now they
were having 11 lengthy argument over a
$5,000 road roller.
Mr. Light then asked to amend Mr
Maples' motion with one substantially
the same, providing that the matter oi
firing the price to be paid for the use of
the roller be left with tho selections,
and that thoybe directed to charge so
much as may be necessary for maintain-
ing and repairing the roller. and no
more.
The amended resolution was passed.
The m1xlerator made the following
appointments as a committee to look
after the matter of the Meadow street
widening: ' lsaiw Bullock. Edwin H.
Kesler and Richard H.1loldsu.

The last matter that osme under the
call was to establish a town high school.
ldr. flurlbutt was the ilrst to offer his
mind on the question. lie said that
though be strongly believed in «dues.
tion, he believed. also. in considering
the financial condition of the mile.
Not in his memory had there been a
time when poor man had such astrnggls
to keep the property they had accumula-
ted as at the present time. No iss~payer
in town, whether a profusionsl or a
laboring man. could sliced at the pros-
