All the workers of whatever party. and for which ever side. appeared to be satisfied with the result of their labors. it was apparent from the large vote cast in the South Norwalk District that the great majority of the citizens favored the division of the Town 'of Norwalk, and the organi- zation of the new Town of South Norwaik. There were 808 ballots counted for the various offices. and all voted for were elected, by reason of the fu- sion ticket used. in East Norwalk the sentiment for town division was not so pronounced, but it was nevertheless gratifying to the workers in this dis- trict. The total vote in favor of the new town was 156. in the old town of Norwaik voting place in South Norwalk. Representa- tive Donovan was especially jubilant, as it was undoutbedly due to his tirc less efforts that the vote for the old town ticket, in view of the strong op- position manifested against it, reached 320 votes. Mr. Donovan wanted it cs‘ pecialiy understood that notwithstanding the efforts of three workers for the division of the town only one of those ballots was deposited in the North Main street ballot box. in the East Norwalk District the opponents to the new town had a showing of 243 votes. r TOWN OF 8011 TH NORWALK.
