notwltbslta. ding the fact that it lasted
only l'hour. During that time he
COW .ll called a city meeting for 'l‘ues-
day August it, at Arion Hall for the
DH pose of voting upon the matter of
b ilding a sand er acreage filter for
l e municipal water system at a cost
f. $60,000. and to purchase a public
barf and dumping ground and repair
he wharf. building it out to the cilan-
el at a cost of 310.000. A number of
ther important matters were also tak-
n up, and discussed. The matter of
automobiles passing through the
streets at a speed in exoess of the
sin-oil allowed by law was brought up.
and after mucbtalk regarding the duo-
gers arising from such recklessness. it
was voted that Chief of Police Volliucr
be instructed to look after the matter.
The meeting was called to order at
8:15, Mayor Dow presiding. Council-
man G. id. Sartain was absent. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. A number of bills
were read and ordered paid.
Water Commissioner Christian
Swartz then presented the report of
the special committee appointed in the
matter of a public wharf. The report
. follows: -
i The Honorable, the Mayor and Coun-
‘ cilmen.
South Norwalk, Conn.
Gentlemen : -—-
Your committee appointed to deter-
mine upon a suitable place for the dis-
posal of city refuse. respectfully rec-
ommends for your consideration a.
piece of property belonging to the es-
tate of the late Charles Lowudos, sit-
uated on the east side of Water street
between llaymond street and Burritt
avenue. , '
This property faces 90 feet on Water
street and extends to the.channel of
the’ alarms harbor, a distance "of
about limo ‘fbet. - According to the
option by which we are enabled to
bring this matter before you at this
meeting. it can be purchased‘for $5,000
if immediate action is taken toward se-
curing it. ' ' '
The property contains piling to with-
in about 25 feet of the channel proper.
which formerly constituted a dock
from which the planking has been re-
moved: the piles, however, are in fair
condition.
The present surface of the land is
all below the street grade, a. large por-
tion of which is under water, thereby
affording a convenient and suitable
place for dumping a large amount of
city refuse and by this means the at
timate formation of a well located pub-
lic dock and the reclaiming of land
that will be amply sufficient as a place
of storage for many years, enabling
the Street Department to receive crush-
ed stone direct from boats to be stor-
ed for use as needed without double
expense of being carted twice. Ar-
rangements could also be made for re-
ceiving and storing the large omount
of coal requlrod'by the municipal elec-
tric works which could then be pur-
chased in built during periods of low
prices and carted as wanted. This
one item alone it is believed would re-
sult in a saving over the present meth-
ods that would pay more than the in-
terest on the entire investment.
it is estimated that. an expenditure
of not more than taboo-would cover
such changes and repairs to the prop-
erty as would be necessary to place it
in condition, for immediate service.
As soon as required. machinery. for no-
loading and conveying crushed stone
or coal could be previded to be operat-
ed at small cost'by electric power.
Aside. from these advantages. the city
would probably derive certain others.
for instance, incidental rents for dock-
ing. privileges. selling water for ship
ping. etc., which would .undoubtodly
come in due time it"givon proper on:
oourngement. ~

FIRE IN WEST AVENUE;
Slight Blaze in the Bath Room of Mrs
Hlll'l Boarding House.
A lighted gas let and a curtain which
hung too near.it was a combination
which resulted in the calling out of
the Not-walk Fire Department about
7:30 o'clock last evening. The blaze.
which was extinguished before the ar‘
rival of the firemen. occurred at the
boarding house of Mrs. Ada Hill, in
West avenue.
A domestic employed at the house
lighted the gas in the bath room and
did not take account of the nearby cur-
tain. When she returned a short time
later, the curtain was ablaze and a
serious fire was, threatened. Losing
no time she rushed out of- tho. boon.
shouting fire.
Jesse Whitehead, who happened to
be mowing the lawn in front of thr
house, quickly turned in an alarm from
Box 28. at the corner of West avenue
and Berkeley street.
The damage will amount to only a
few dollars and consists principally of
the loss of the curtain and the hunting
and blackening of the wall paper. or
the bath room. '

l0 Be Reorganized
Important Meeting of the Stockholders
and Directors field In East
Norwalk, Today.
A very Important meeting of the
stockholders and directors of the New
England Food Company was held this
morning, at 10 o'clock, at the onlcs of
the company in East Norwnlk. As a
result of the meeting a number of large
changes in regard to the ialnducting of
the business ware voted upon.
The company which was originally
organized under the laws of the state
of New Jersey, will be re-organiaed un-
der the laws of the state of Connecti-
cut. A committee was appointed in
January for the purpose of investiga-
nou regarding ereorgauization. This
report was accepted this morning by
illf‘ meeting. The new company will
be under the control of a voting trust
of the- stockholders. comprising Thom-
as C. Sleuths, Major (looms M. Holmes
and W. ll. C'l—larn. The company will
be operator] under them for a period of
iivn yours. The capital stock which
was originally 8100.000. has been re-
duced to $75,000. A new company
which has been formed with a capital
or student) will fill“! over the old com-
pally, and stock amounting to about
315.000 will be issued. When these
plilllil are completed and the machinery
of the busimss Hill of lb.- concern is
in working order. a new plan tor the
disposal of the products of the plant
will be inaugurated.
The company is to make folir differ-
ent brands or fluid to be known as
out ltusk, Wheat Rusk. llzce llunk and
Corn Ituak. 'i‘hcee Will be sold direct
it) the consumers by means in deulill,
and by advertising. 'l‘iu-con'ipuuy will
also deal in tons, caller‘s. baking pow-
ders, etc, and will dispose of its pro-
ducts on the premium plan. as baking
powder purl slums havo already “0"“
sold. hc goods will not be sold
through the denier at all, but direct
to the family. It Is believed that in
this way the. sales will be much more
satisfactory, us it is a guarantee that
the goods are always fresh and in good
condition.
The new foods are of a vary superior
variety and are all practical. having
been tested and tried. it is expected
that quite a large increase in in» bus-
iness of the concern will result from
the new methods to be used.
