presumed that there would be things
il‘. the minds of those from the outly-
ing districts which would be brought
up. He said that he would like to
have them ask any ouosiioiis they
wished regarding the provisions of the
new charter. lie thought that as s
new charter was being drawn that it
should have free and full discussion
by those interested.
Marshall H. Tolles. of East, Norwulk.
asked Mr. Light if the councilman
would lw elected from the districts or
at large. Mr. Light stated that his
own idea would be that they be elect-
cd from the districts. in response to
further questions he stated that the
mayor would proliably be elected'by
the entire ctty'and would be nominat-
ed by delegates. He thought that the
school board should bi" elected from
liii‘ different wards and that each
should have ti representation upon the
board. He stated that heIhmight that
each district should look after his own
share of the tire department. 'l'ne
city would probably be divided into
election districts which would conform
Eto the-ward lines.

Mr. Solmaus then brought up a new
subjectt that of the selection of a
board of apportionment. He thought.
that the estiiblishiiiciit of such a board
was liiizhiv important to the city. Mr.
Light dialed that it was customary for

where that such boards have been made
they have given satisfaction. There
is not so much of the packing of meet-

would like to ace as much power as
possible retained in the hands of the
peopioi. however. and would favor the

He spoke in favor of consolidating the
schools. He said that he thought the
poop] of the entire town could be
trustcil to take care of the schools to
gather. "By consolidating the. dis-
tricts, we can improve the quality of
the silhools and lessen the expense."
3Ellvivinate Politics from the Board.
‘Richard H. Golden asked how the ap-
portionment board would be chosen.
He was told that such boards are
usually appointed by the mayor.
A. A.‘Graham voiced his opinion that
it would be I good thing to eliminate
politics from it and have a non-partl-
san board. “We should put good clear
headst‘on lt rather than politicians." A
that Mr. Graham was rather hard on
