M
The adjourned meeting of the South
Norwalk Board of Councilmen last
night, was for the sole purpose of
passing favorably on the ordinances
which will be found on the fourth page
of this paper. They relate to the ap-
pointment of a board of apportionment
and taxation for the City of South Nor-
walk. The idea of the board is to in-
vestigate thoroughly the needs of the
various city departments. after the
annual city meeting and see if the
appropriation is too large or too small.
The ordinances were unanimously
adopted.
Councilman Betta called attention to
the condition of the sidewalk under the
Washington street bridge, caused by
water running down from the stand-
pipe of the «Consolidated Railroad
Company. He thought that the street
(sommissioners should attend to the
matter. and see that the ice was re-
moved. Councilman Stevens. of the
street committee, said that he would
have the lee removed today.
At this' stage of the. proceedings
Clerk Joseph R. Taylor left the Coun~
cil rooms. and Corporation Counsel
John H. Light took his place. The
matter of State's Attorney Samuel
Fesscnden’s bill f0r95.500 came up and
it. was thought best to lay it over un-
til the annual city meeting on March 3.
and it then could be put into the bud-
get along with the appropriation of the
electric light commisalpners. -
A resql ion nailing the annual city
meeting i' 1‘" March 3 was adopted. and
