$46.75: lights. 358.61. Another bill of
$58.63 on the III-II house Improvement
account brought the total up to $531.05.
All ran along smoothly in the may-
or‘s work of ordering bills paid until
he came to the bills of Dr. Charles R. I
Chalmar and Nicholas Martin. who of—
ficiated as counters at the special wa-
ter bond election. ’I heir bills were for
$5 each. ‘As the mayor concluded read—
ing one of the bills. Councilman Glov-
er offered an objection. saying: "I
haven‘t 0. K. II those bills. and I don't .
propose to. Those bills were for about
ten minutes work. I don't object to
anything that's fair. bllt that‘s extrava-
gant." An informal discussion ensued.
during which it was brought out that
the registrars are paid $55 per year. $25
per year each. with 85 between them
for an assistant. They were not. how-
ever. acting as registrars at the spec-
ial election. but as counters. Their du-
ties had been“ to go to the town court
room after the election, and count the
148 votes cast at the. election.
Councilman Glover moved that they
be paid 82.50 each for their services on
that occasion and the council so voted.
MI. Glover said Inst he was perfectly
willing to do what was fair. and was
willing to pay the counters just as
much as he would expect If he were to
do the job. He concluded: ‘lt is all
right to be a good fellow. gentlemen. ‘
but I don‘t believe in being a good fol-

No Dwellings to Rent and a Citizen Be-

East Norwalk is suffering from a
house famine. There are not houses
enough that can be rented and many
people who would like to live there are
urabe to do so for that reason. A
prominent resident, III speaking of the
situation. yesterday, said:
“There an: very few places III town
which can be rented. it Is possible to
get a few rooms over here In some
houses, but to rent a whole structure
Is very difllI-IIIt indeed. l should think
that some enterprising real estate firm
would build a few houses over here on
speculation. In the suburbs of New
York model cottages have been built
lately which the rent Is applied to pay.
log for. There is also a life insurance
feature connected with them so that
in care of the death of the husband of
the family the house goes to the wife.
If these houses pay in New York. i
“do not know why they should not pay
here. I am .I-ertaiu that If a few nice
houses were. erected here that they

they wo d be. occupied the entire

for a house and would have located
here, but could not find a desirable

It will be necessary for It to have.

Garner as a life-long Ros-
ident of the Town
Charles W. Raymond, first select-
man of the town of Ilarien. died last
night at the Stamford Hospital. Mr.
Raymond had been ill for some time.
and about two weeks ago entered tht
hospital to undergo an operation. He
was doing nicely. when blood poisoning
developed and he gradually grew weak-
or.
Charles W. Raymond was born In
Five Mile River about seventy-one
years ago. Before he. had reached the
age of fifteen his father passed away
and he was left as the mainstay of a
family of several children with their in
forests to look out for and to educate.
As has always baen‘his way through
life. he met the issue squarely without
shrinking from it and accepted the bar-
den which was a heavy one. for his
young shoulders. His first work was
before the must on coasting schooners
in the days when there were long and
Ial'llllOlIR trips and life before the. mast.
Was not what It is how. This be en-
dured for those at home and with his
characteristic grit and perseverance
be forged ahead and accumulated mon-
ey. He finally became a pilot and
later an engineer. He had licenses as
an engineer and pilot at the time of
his death. He purchased several
small islands below what was known
as "The Cut." at Noroton. and acquired
a large portion of oyster ground in
the early days of oyster growing. It
Iull'hi be said. in fact. that he was one.
of the pioneers ln that business. He
lived on one of the. Islands in the old
homestead until the time of his mar-
riage. after which he moved to the
place where his family now resides on
the Turnpike. He had not engaged in
active oyster culture for the past six
years and has disposed of a portion of
the grounds which he formerly held.

he. has been rte-elected. He has been

has a friend in every member of the
community. To his friends he was
loyalty personified.
His strength of purpose for honesty
was another thing which made him

be associated. In. public affairs he
was absolutely clean. I Many a time
when purchasing some bill of goods for

unable to decide as their stories were
conflicting. Mrs. Benedict. who could

of her small child.
Woodruif complained to the police
