All of "the excitement at the annual
meetlagof the City of Norwalk. held
last night. at the 'l own Assembly Hall.
Wall atl‘eet,‘ was caused by John J..
Henloh. who protested vigorously
against the action of the 1902 Council
in expending more money for the fire
house improvements than they had
been authorised to. and thereby made
themselves liable‘to prosecution in his
eyes. To prove'lils assertion Mr. Hon-
lon read a copy of that portion of the
Rural statutes dealing with such
matters.
. When it was moved that $1.500. or
site sum asii'eeded be appropriated to
any r the deficiency in the amount for
the'ilre house improvements. and to
purchase two m‘Bre horses. which was
included. in 'the original appropriatloii
of 37,500 for the tire house improve-
ments. .Mr’. Hanlon was on his feed in-
stantly. with an amendment to the ef-
fect that the deficiency be referred to
the city attorney with instructions for
him to investigate the matter and re~
port his finding to the Board of Coun-
cilmeii.
Mr. Haulon's amendment was iosi.
and the original resolution. appropriat-
ingtlie. 31.500. and laying the required
liaifernili tax was passed. it has been
reported that an injunction may bi-
gotten otlt‘for the purpose of prevent-
ing-the deficiencies.
Last night's meeting voted to lay an
eight mill tax to cover the. appropria—
tions suited for liy the Coiincii.
T e meeting was called to order at
7:47 o'clook. with about seVenty-ilve
voters present, but enough more came
in later to swell the total to something
over a hundred.

season. He is also arranging for
matinee races and expects to be able
to have these come off every other Sat-

will undoubtedly be very popular. and
give owners of horses in The Nor-
waiks. Westport and other adjoining
towns the opportunity for trying is-
sues with each other.
Mr. Wright is now canvassing for
season memberships. These will be
sold at five dollars each. The members
will each be furnished with a key to;
the gate. and allowed the use of the

The track is perfect in shape nndl
