Buckley a Campany, of Norwalk. Since the firm of John H. Buckley 6’: Co., of Norwalk, was declared bank. root, and Grover J. Tattle was appoint- ed trustee, the factory and other prop» erty in Norwalk has been transferred to Frederick T. Rider. of 101 Milk street, Boston. This was done before the mortgages, which are held by tho Norwalk Savings society and the Polo; field County Savings Bank. were paid, The former is for 88.000 and the latter for $5.000. As a result of the failure to pay these mortgages. two suits have been entered in the civil stiperiori court. The first stilt is brought by the Nero walk Savings society, and names as the defendants John ii. Buckley, Fred. erlck Buckley. of Norwalk: Grover J. Tattle, of New York. trustee of the estate ofJ. II. Buckley At Son, in bank- ruptcy; Frederick T. Ryder. of Boston. Mass; 1.. Stowe. Springfield.

Buckley & Company mortgaged their property to the Norwalk Savings socie- ty December 10. 1888. On August 1. 1900, the company was adjudged trunk. rupt by the United States court, and Grove. A. Tuttle was appointed the trustee of the estates of the company and of the individual members. Last; January he transferred the factory to. Frederick T. Rider, of Boston, who now has the. possession. The other respondents have claims against the property. The suit brought by the Fairflold County Savings bank for $3.000 relates the same circumstances. but the prop- erty in question is a piece of land all- uated on a highway in Norwaik. The suit in each case is for foreclosure of the premises. MILITIA EXAMINING BOARD. General Frost Added in Place of Major Gilbert L. Fitch.

Io. . Ho Pleads for Division That We May be United. Editor The Sentinel: 'We find that there is in the minds’of some of our citizens a prejudice against the propos- ed division of our town because of a fear that it likewise means a division or disruption oflthe scolal and com- mercial relations of the two sections. "as if on the division line We intended to erect a sort of imaginary spite fence over which we are to make faces and shoot putty balls at each other. Paradoxical as it may seem, we plead for division that we may become united. We cannot see how consolida- tion of the whole town into one city will bring harmony. It to because we already have consolidation of our town government that we are at loggerheads. and if we cannot now manage the lim- ited affairs of this government har- moniously. how in the name of reason can we expect that by adding to it, all the business of the two city govern- ments. we will improve matters. Will not our present difficulties and ani- mosltles be multiplied and intensified to an extent scarcely imaginable. Again. how can these two distinct. individual commercial scenters ever be blended into one common hole? They are as fixed, immovable and eternal as the very hills about us. and whatever our government may be. they will al- ways remain the two central points from which all our commercial and other affairs must. radiate. Let all our citizens understand that the proposed division is not a doctrine of “heresy schism. and all uncharlta- bleness," but simply one of individual- ity. and let us again (as we did in a previous communication) personify our beloved city as the trill grown. lusty son of this grand .old town. and ask of our dear Mothér Norwalk that he may be loosed from her apron strings. and be permitted to work out his own destiny, unhampcred and unrestrained: not that he may use his independence to bring disaster. dishonor and sorrow to her or himself. but that with a full sense of his responsibilities and oppor- tunities he may so conduct himself that peace. honor and prosperity may be the portion of us all. INDEPENDEN'I‘. South Norwaik, Conn.. Dec. 29. 1902. ON TOWN DIVISION. A Correspondent Goes Over the Rec- ord of a Few Years. . Editor of The Sentinel: Last. night the South Norwutk Council voted to call a city meeting to consider the qtrestiou of dividing the town. and cooking a new town of South Norwalk. At the saute time the Norwalk Council [irisscd resolutions favoring the con- solidation of the. cities of‘Norwalk and South Norwalk. it was over thus from the time of the. formation of the Ror- ough of Norwalk. when Sotrth Norwalk asked to be taken in and Nor-walk wouldn't have it. The record from that date to this has boom the some opposition to every South Norwalk project, with the result that South Norwalk has been forced into a separate municipality. Now comes this last effort. which is to wipe it off the lump. absorb its thirty odd years' growth. and use it to vitallzc the section that opposed its progress at every step. Norwalk's check is the sublime fea’ lure of its latest IlthVOIIII‘IlI. After all its abuse of South Norwulk. after its. record of opposition to every step of its development; after its confession of injustice. and in the light of the fact South Norwulk has carried its indepen— dent-c, it is certainly a usual presump» luous position it now takes to («serve it Into a fellowship that will wipe It 00‘ the chip. I think if South Not-walk hurl proposed consolidation. Norwnlk would have opposed it. ‘ l.. lNDEBTEDNEBS AND VALUATION A. it. Of School Property In the Several Dis- trlcts of Town of Norwatk.

M.

It has been a pleasure to me to have been as- sociated with you and to preside over your deliberations. I am somewhat disappointed because you have not tak- en us many steps forward as I thought you would at the commencement of the year, but I am satisfied that your conservatism has been tempered with good judgment. and that the influence of what has been done here will make for better government in the future. I realize that If we would success- fully reform. we must stand squarely upon conditions as we find them. anti make our theories fit. into facts. I failed to do this in my message to you last January. in recommending con- solidutlou of the whole township into one city. My theory was all right. but it did not fit the facts.

It clearly appears to «one who has studied our history that the people of the City of Norwalk ti'ormcrly the liorough of Norwalkl forced our permle to build a town of their own by rcfus~ lug to permit them to become a part of their city. Thus forced away from our fellow townsmen in the upper city. we were obliged to obtain water and city advantages for ourselves, and the scarlet is the City of South Norwalk. new larger grown than the City of Norwalk, with a large water system. a splendid clcrlrlc light plant. a separ- ulc sewer system. it public library and a library building. and schools second to none, and We have been working out the problem of self government for nearly ihlrly‘lhrec yours, with what slim-ass you know. [hiring these years the siiirlt of in— dcpcndcncc and scpurutcuess has been grooving with even pace with our in- stitutions, and today I believe ninety per t‘l'lli. of mu people are in favor of cutting the town in two, in order that we play be absolutely independent 0f the people who forced us in (“if infan~ ry to unlike our way In the world with- out any assistance front them.

The Norwalk Business Men's Associ- ation committee on consolidation. held another meeting, last night. at the Town Court room. in Wall street. Like the last meeting. it was a secret ses— sion as far as the newspaper reporters were concerned, and after the City Council meeting. when the reporters culled. they were invited to make themselves to home. out in the rain. or in words to that effect. Est-Mayor Arthur C. Wheeler. in the absence of lodge Asa B. Woodward. acted as doctrines of the meeting, and Frederick ll. Quintard performed the olierous du- ties of secretory. One of the reporters asked the chair- man if the presence of the reporters was objected to by the meeting. and in response to this question, Mr. Wheeler asked for expressions of op- inion from those present. and no one «coming to cure to have anything to my on the sulijcct, Mr. Wheeler said. All who are in favor of having the 'cpiri'tci‘s stay. please say I." Perhaps Weryonc lost his voice for the time ‘u-ing. or perhaps no one cared to ex- press an opinion; anyway the silence urns so profound that a pin could have ‘iccn heard to drop with a fluid. The 'hulrmsu thcn broke the sllcure by rc- llucstlng. “All in favor of having the reporters retire, please only I.” There was a feeble response. made probably by three or furor voices. tire responses seeming to route one after artothor. the reporters then beat a retreat down ’bc hallway. to addition to the rcgulur rucmbcrs of the committees several prominent lmslucrul men of the town were invited to attend the meeting. The meeting was not as largo. however, as some of the others. due in the (rotated of some, to the stormy weather. One man who was prmunl said this morning that practically no business of importance was transacted. and that the only thing done was to talk over the whole mob- lcct. He said that no reports were uibnilttcd and first on an average there war: present lull our number of tho urvcriil stilt-committees. 'l‘hc adjournment was to Wednesday eventing. at the some place. it. is on- puctnd that at this wheeling all of the "int town infecting. Friday night. will be sulunllted before the committee.
