K. W. Mansfield. general manager of
the'Nprwalk Tramway Company. ap-
neared betore the Council in reference
to the eotnmunication submitted one
we'ak ago regarding the connecting
with a single rail the tracks of the Con-
necticut Lighting and Power Company
and the Norwaik Tramway Company.
under. the Washington street bridge.
it woe quite necessary, he said, to have
this electrical connection made. in or-

. dsr to obtain power one from the oth-

er. He therefore asked for permission
til lay a T rail underground, simply for
the purpose of conveying electrical
current. A copper wire ova-rhead
would be both unsightly and expensive
he said. copper mating now iv the
neighborhood of twenty cents a pound,
and about 375 worth would be neces-
“lap". The ecnmpany had on hand a
lily of old rails that could be used
he purpose. The ends of the rail,
least ten inches below the paving
ks. would be connected by heavy
via. The tracks now were connect-
ed by a small cable overhead. This
would be removed. Mr. Mansfield laid
stress on the escape of electricity, the
way matters are now, and the current
reaching the city a water pipes, doubt-
less affecting them before returning to
the rails of the company. There was

 

nothing concealed in the request. he

said. and nothing more would be at-
tempted tban was asked for by him.
The reason the petition was not en-
dorsed by the Connecticut Heating.
Lighting and Pover (‘ ompany was be
cause it was one of the conditions with
that company. Some years ago. wuen
the Westport extension was built. the
Tramway Company contracted with the
Norwalk Street Railway Company for
power from them, and agreed not to

supply powers from its own station 1211- '

ill proper electrical return connections
had been made. This contract expir-
ed last month. and since that time the
Tramway Company had been furnish-
ing its own power for the Wesiport
line. it now sought solely to fulfill
its contract with the Street Railway
Company. and this could only be done
by making this connection.
The petition was referred to
Street Commissioners, with power.
A petition. bearing 107 names asking
that an electric light be placed in
North'Water street. near the Cannon-
dated Railroad bridge. was referred to
the Board oi Electric Commissioners.
Mr. Winchester stated, in response
to a question from Mayor Coburn. that
othing had been done yet regarding
t e placing of a light in Day street.
The matter was in the hands of Com—

the

vmiasioner Volk. Just it present the

light plant was running to its great-

. eat apacity. and the commissioners

dd not feel like taking anything on
extra Just now As the days began to
lengbthen something could bc done.

The Water Commissioners reported

ments with whichto measure. The
water was running through the sewer
at that time.

Mr. Adams asked Dr. Dean how much
sand there was in the also. but Mr.
Beaar'couid not state accurately.

Councilman Ferris asked Mr. Adams
to submit an itemixed bill of his dam-
ages.

Mr. Adams—"Do all your bills come
in itemized?"

Mr. Ferris—"Yes air. they do."

Mr. Adams-‘Weil. i'd like to see the

City Clerk Taylor explained that

.the following day.

The matter wound up with a tilt be-
tween Mr. Adams and Councilman
Smith, the latter correcting Mr Adams
in quoting Councilman Bean. and ad-
monishing him to do so accurately the
next time.

Mr. Adams stated that he had quoted
Dr. [lean correctly. and hinted that Mr
Smith did not know everything wortn
knowing. to which a reply was made
that "we could all learn something new
every day." The incident closed with-
out Mr. Adams getting and knowledge
as to when his claim would be paid.

George H. Raymond. of the general
committe having in charge the celebra-
tion of the return of Company L Third
Regiment. wanted to know if some-
thing could not be done regarding
paying some of the expenses incurred
by the reception to the company. Some
of these bills, amounting to about :80,
remained unpaid. and several were
held by South Norwaik p clspie who as

orwalk. de-

weil as the merchants of
sired their money.

City Treasurer Matthew Corbett ssio
he had declined to pay the appropria-
tion of the Council first until it was
voted by a city meeting. which was
done unanimously. The order. amount-
to $150. was in the hands of Senator
Ferris. but Mr. Ferris had refused to
pay any bills out of it until Attorney
J. Beldcn Hurlbutt, - chairman anu
treasurer of the mmtnitie, had submit-
ted a statement of receipts and ex-
penditures, and called the committee
together .for a dual meeting, they not
having met once since the celebration.

Mr. Raymond said he would com-
municate with Mr. Hurlbutt and Mr.
Ferris about the matter.

The city clerk was authorized to re-
lease tire lien placed on the McNamara
property in North Main street, twenty-
flve years ago. and paid shortly after-
wards.

The bills ordered paid amounted to
$1,803.07.

A new note for three months was or-
dered drawn in favor of the treasurer.
and an old one of $1,500 was ordered
renewed for three months.

Taxes on the list of 1806, amounting
to l0.86, were ordered abated.

Tax Collector James Paul brought up
the matter of having new bonds made
for the incoming city officers. and sug-
gested that 8125 be appropriated there-
for.

Section 2 of an ordinance entitiea
"Relative to City Tax Collector," ap-
proved September 16th. 1805. was am-
ended to read that when the collector
had collected and paid over to the city
treasurer ninety per cent. of the whole
tax he shall be entitled to a certificate
from the treasurer to that effect. and
the Council may entree a payment to
be made to the collector on account of
his commissions. not to exceed fifty
per cent. of the sum of said commis-
sion on the whole tax. and the balance
of the commission shall not be paid
till the entire tax is collected and the

To leave the [noisy of the Lightlsl
and Power Company this Week.

Wilbur E. Guthrie, superintendent
of the electric lighting and power de~
partment of the Connecticut Lighting
and Power Company. has tendered his
resignation to the company to take
place Saturday of this week. Mr.
Guthrie will be succeeded by E. F. Lat-
timer. of Waterbury. a. syndicate man.

The resignation of Ir. Guthrie will
be a surprise to his Norwnlk friends,
as it was generally supposed that he
was to remain. in charge of the plant.
He has been in Norwalk three years,
and had the electrical
'the concern in first-class condition.
while socially he *1 had many plea-
sant experienou.

Mr. Guthrie came to Norwaik
through the agency of the General sil-
eetric Company. being considered one
(I the company's best managers He
was placed in charge of the plant to
carry out the plans the campus had
in view for the reconstruction the
system. and made a decided success
in the carrying out of the desires oi
his employers. When the concern
sold out the Norwalk plant to the syn-
dicate Mr. Guthrie was offered another
situation by the General Electric Com-

 
 

pany. but decided to remain in Nor- in

walls. Other affairs have now caused
him to desire a change. three other
better situations being open to him.

With the departure of Mr. “his
the heads or all the various depart-
ments under the old regime will have
been changed and syniieate men are
now intbeir places.

Councilman A. J. Meeker. chairman
of the highway committee. of the City
Coundl of Norwalk. has been reading
the city charter and ordinances since
the last meeting of the Council. and
was surprised to learn that the title
df chairman of the highway committee
was almost an empty honor. carrying
with it little or no power. the author-

to not being in the bands of the
reet commissioner.

That was the way Mr. Meeker ex-
plsined it last evening to Mayor Glover
and his colleagues at the regular
monthly session of the Council.

Another interesting matter which
came up was the claim of Ofiicer'Rob-
ert N. Mun-house for pay during the
time he has been on the sick list. The
ofilcer backed up his position with Dr.
.1. T. Gregory's certificate to the fact
that he had strained his back while
performing police duty—namely. the
arresting of a crazy woman whom he
had to lift into a wagon.

Other matters disposed of by the
Councilmen were of a routine nature.
such as the payment of bills. making
appropriations. and the payment to
themselves of their salaries as city of-
ficials for the past year.

When the bill of D. A. Newcomb for
£30. for work on highways was read.
Mr. Meeker referred to the unpleasant
criticism that had been heaped upon
him. in order that he might be right
in the future he had secured an inter
prctcr and studied the city charter and
ordinances closely. so that he now un-
derstood‘them thoroughly and that no
more mistakes could be laid at his
door.

"1 made a mistake through not hav-
ing a thorough understanding of the
bylaws." he said. “for until recently i
supposed 1 could hire whom i pleased.
irrespective of the desires of the street
commission. but i have looked the mat-
ter up carefully, and now find that
though i may have the authority to
hire, those whom i employ must work
under the direction of the street com-
missioners. 1 am sorry there has been
any misunderstanding. and it will not
happen again."

None of the councilmen raised any
question about the-matter, and it was
allowed to pass with Councilman
hiccker‘s explanation of the bill which.
he said. included two horses, road
scraper. tools and his own labor, all
for it a day.

Councilman Meeker then produced a
square package. and laying it on the
desk in front of him said there were
other things he wiizhed to bring before
the Council, for he had discovered that

he had overstepped his bounds shame- ’

fully, and craved the pardon of his fei-
low councilmen a thousand times for
his many blunders.

it was a neat bit of sarcasm on thr
part of the chairman of the highways
but the other councilmen could do
nothing but take things good natured-
ly while the highway committeeman
told his tale of woe.

He started in with the matter of giv-
ing permits for the Opening of streets.
giving the councilman to understand
that the old saying. "where ignorancr
is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." would
not go in the case of A. .l. Meeker
chairman of the highways, for he had
discovered that the work he had been
doing, such as granting permits and
the recording of them in a little red
book, was not his work at all. but that
it was expressly provided in the chart-
er that these permits should be grant-
ed by the. street commissioner and the
record kept by him.

“Therefore." said Councilman Meek-
rr. "1 turn this book over to the Coun-
cil for the street commissioner." at the

same time extending the mysterious ,

package to the mayor.

The Council was not united on the
matter of acceptance, and it was sug-
gested that Mr. Meeker turn the book
ever to the street commissioner per-
sonaily.

"Anything to accommodate." was
the graceful reply of the highway com.
mitteeman.

"Another time i might have been
thrown into the street as a penalty for
my ignorance. " continued Mr. Meeker
as he told the Council of numerous
complaints be had received concerning
iianlon Brother's' obstructing the side-
walk in front of their baking powder
masufactory. He explained that he
had spoken several times about it. but
had got satisfactory answer, and so
bad call at the oilice.

"But be had a right to take me by
the collar and tumble me down stairs,"
said Mr. Meeker. in well assumed earn-
estness. “l“had no right there. The
charter provides that this matter shall
be regulated by the msynr. street mm-
missioner. police clears and city sher-

"Why, l do not believe the council-
men know it—l did not until my meant
careful research—that in seven and
one-quarter in the charter and
ordinance the highway committee is
not mentioned. the chairman of the
said committee is mtionoi in once.

Washington, December 5-The first
paragraph of President McKinley'a
message, delivered to the Fifty-sixth
Congress. refers briefiy to the recent
death of Vice-president Hobart. The
president then plunges into a review of
the prosperous conditions which have
prevailed throughout the country since
his last message was delivered. He
finds that the exports of agricultural

products were "84.170.1(2 and of man.
ufactured products $330,502,148. larger
than any previous year.

Government receipts from all sources
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1899.
rlggregatcd nearly “11.000000. Cus-
toms receipts were over $206,000.00“
and those from internal revenue about
”74.000000. For the some period the
expenditures were $790,093,564. leaving
a deficit of a little over $89,000,000.

The secretary of the Treasury esti-
mates that the receipts for the current
fiscal year will aggregate nearly 8641.-
M.000. and the expenditures aboui
”01,000,000.

Mr. McKinley then turns his attcn
"1011 to the condition of the Treasury
which he says is most gratifying. Thr
ivailable cash balance on December 1
‘899. was 0278000000. of which met
129,000,000 was in gold coin and bul-
lion. and he remarks that the condi
tions of confidence which prevail
throughout the country have brough'
sold into more general use. and cus-
toms receipts are now almost entirely
maid in that coin.

The recent action of the Secretary
if the Treasury in offering to number
l26.000.000 of bonds is referred to in
‘he following terms:

"The strong position of the Treasury
vlth respect to cash on hand and tht
'avorable showing made by the revc»
sure have made it possible for the Sec-
-ctary of the Treasury to take actiov
under the provisions of Section 3594i
'lcviscd Statutes relating to the sink-
‘ng fund. Receipts exceeded expendi-
tures for the first five months of the

' current fiscal year by 313, 413389. an'

as mentioned above, the Secreary of
the Treasury estimates that there wi i
be a surplus of approximately 340,000.-
000 at the end of the year. l'nder Mic!
tondltions it was deemed advisable and
proper to resume compliance with U."
provisions of the sinking fund law
which for eight years has not been
done because of deficiencies in the rev-
enues. The amount offered and pur-
chased during November was 018.408
0100."

Interest on the amount purchased was
over 82.000.000.

The president finds that under the
rapid development in the industries of
the country the national banking act
is not a sufilcl‘ent avenue through
which needful addition to the circula-
tion can from time to time be made
‘lc therefore asks Congress to take up
'his matter with the view of ascertain-
ing whether or not such reasonable
modifications can be made as will rcn‘
der the act's service in the particulars
referred to more responsive to the pea-
nie's needs. He urges that national
banks be authorised to organize with
1 capital of 825.000.

President McKinley then proceeds to
discuss the standard\of money. and
toys:

."l urgently recommend that to sup-
port the existing gold standard, and to
maintain the parity in value of the
coins of the two metals (gold and all-
very and the equal power of every dol-
lar at all times in the market and in
the payment of debts. the Secretary of
thc 'i‘reasury be given additional pow-
er and charged with the duty tp sell
United States bonds and to employ
such other effective means as may be
necessary to those ends. The authority
should include the power to sell bonds
on long and short time. as conditions
may require. and should provide for a
veto of interest lower than that fixed
by the act of January 14. 1875. While
there is now no commercial fright
which withdraws gold from the Gov-
crament. but, on the contrary. such
widespread confidence that gold seeks
the treasury demanding ‘papcr money
in exchange, yet the very situation
points to the present as the most fit-
ting time to make adequate provision
to insure the continuance of the gold
standard and of public confidence in
the ability and purpose of the (lovers
meat to meet all its obligations in the
money which the civilised world rec-
ognises as the best. The financial
transactions of the government are
conducted upon a gold basis. We re-
ceive gold when we sell i'nlied States
i bonds and use gold for their payment.
. u n are mnintnininc is: parity of all
