LARGE lllllN-lllll ll MEEllNli
The Tax Rate at Six and One-Quarter
Mills—Extended Discussion Over
The Matter of Appropriation-
For the Departments.
That the citizens of South Norwalk
more interested in the amount of tax
that should be laid to defray the ex-
penses of the various city departments
1.- during the ensuing year was made
‘ . manifest last night. when Arlen Hall.
.where the annual city meeting was
hold, was filled with an enthusiastic
gathering. Every seat was occupied,
and half a hundred more voters stood
in the rear.
There were a few who did the most
talking. but then that is always the
case in any meeting of a similar lili-
ture. There1 was‘considernblc dram-
atic ability displayed. with sufllclent
comedy 0n the side. to balance the
affair. At times hot shots were fired
back and forth. and a few 1 ulged in
personalities. But at the clos of the
session. all were good natured. and no
one Was blamed for any disagreeable
nose that might have arisen.
Those in the hall were given to un-
derstand at the beginning that there
was a slaughter to be made In some of
theestimates asked for by the several
city departments. for the first item con-
sidered was the amount of tax that
should be laid. Charles F. Hallock
broke the ice by offering a issolution
that the tax rate be six mills on the
dollar for the year 1901. On some this
idea fell like a thunderbolt.
There was considerable twisting and
turning. but when it was put to a vote.
the matter went through and the tax
rate for 1901 will be six mills Then
it was a nice llttié argument to cut
down the appropriations asked 101 to
conform with the six mill tax. The.
resolution, which was in the form of
a motion. was. quickly seconded by
water Commissioner SWal‘IZ.' There
1 was a little lllll in the proceedings.
and Mr. Hallock took occasion to sup-
’ port his action by stating that It was
hardly necessary to make any re-
marks for the information 01 the peo-
ple. as he thought from what he had
heard from several parties. the citi-
‘zens would not be willing to have the
tax rate raised from 611. to 8% mills
as was proposed from the estimates
submitted, and which were in large
black letters hanging on the wall in
plain view of all in the hall. "li‘or that
reason. I offer the resolution to meet
the expenses of the city for the en-
suing year." said Mr. Hallock.
“i want to just sound a note of warn
lug," said 8. C. Palmer. "The charter
limits a debt of five per cent. on the
grand list. We have now got a leeway
of $50,000. and I think we should go
a little slow. We should think before
we make a more."
“I Would like to ask thr.1 gentleman.
who has just spoken. if be lit a tax
payer in the city?“ said Mr. Swul‘tz.

am not as large a one as my friend.

wrong direction.
Those standing in the rear made
considerable noise. Mr. Hallock said
that it was no more than fair that 11
vote should be properly taken. and he
would suggest that it be taken by bul-
lot. There was a cry of "Too long.

Sleeping in the Building.
The .former residence of Lester St.
John. now owned by Harvey Acksrt.
111 St. John avenue. Rowayton. was
burned to the ground. early this morn-
ing. Mr. Ackert first received on full
motion that the house was on fire
through a neighbor. Allan Dauclly. who
resides ill another of M1. Ackerts
houses In Main street. Mr. Dauchy dis.
covered that the place was on fire at
about 3:110 this morning.
At that time the fire was confined
to the roof ill the vicinity of tile chim-
ney. Mr. Dallclly hastily summoned
Mr. Al-kort. The two went up to the
burnlng building. A bucket brigade of
neighbors was soon formed. but they
saw immediately that effort on the
burning house would he fruitless be
cause at this time it seemed as if the
whole building was in flames.
Next door to the west of the doomed
place Mr. Ackert owns another house.
This was saved from the flames by
strenuous work on the part of the
bucket brigade. which kept a constant
stream of water 011 the side of it next
to the ill-11. The only damage done
was a little scorching of the paint. The
lll‘c lighters were aided greatly in their
work by the wind. which was blowing
hard from the west. Had It not been
for this it is doubtful If the other place
could have been saved. The only or
ticles that were saved from the burn-
ed house word the blinds on the lower
floor, These were hastily taken off
when Mr. Ackcrt first arrived on the
scene. The house burned lik11 tinder.

foundation within an hour of the time
it was first discovered to be ill flames.
It had been empty for several months.
but had been rented to .i.
and family, of New York. who were to
occupy it the first of next month. Mr
ACkCI‘L is unable to account for the
origin of the1 fire. He has a slight
idea that possibly trumps set the
place on fire. as some timt1 ago. while
up In the ‘atth of the house he found
bags of leaves. giving evidence that
some one had been sleeping up there.
The burned building was valued at
about $1.600. if was illslil‘cd ill the
agency of Jacob M. Layton for 31.1500.

he would build 11 smaller house than
the burned structure.
For a number of years the house.
when it stood where the cast-bound
station now stands. was occupied by
Lester St. John. Mr. St. John. when
he sold the property, was obliged to
move the house and the result was that
it was taken to the location ill St. John
avenue. where it burned. Mr. St. John
llcvur occupied it after it was moved
from the present location of the de-
pot. He later built the fine residence

spend the people's money among 0111

not uniform the employees of the
