According to Councilmen Meth-
ies, Who Declines to Accept
the Position of Assessor in
the City of Horwellt—C. A.
Burris ifs-elected
'A sensation was caused at the
1119811118 of the Norwalk City Council
last Disht. by the without-gloves meth-
od with which Councilman Henry Mao
theta attacked the present method of
assessing property in the city. He de-
clared that the poor man is paying his
full share of taxes. while the rich man
is not. "The poor man is hearing the
burden of the rich.‘ said be
Mr. Matheis insisted that the city
could be run on a live or six mill tax.
He also considered that it would be a
very easy matter to raise the grand
list of the city the 02.000.000 that
would be necessary, merely by assess
ing some people’s property at its pro-
per valuation.
The remarks of Councilman Mathels
came as a result of the announcement
that it. was time for the board to elect
an assessor for three years. as the
term of Assessor Charles A. Burr ex-
pires this year. Mr. Matheis counsel-
ed the board to use good judgment in
the appointment of a man to fill thc
position that a man be chosen who
would not be afraid to assess a piece
of property at its real valuation.
During his remarks be made refer-
ence to a number of properties. The
Martin property in West avenue be
characterized as being no credit to the
town and the oniything that had kept
the two places separated. He is said
that it is down on the list at $100,000
and cost a half a million to build.
Then there was a big brick dwell-
ing in Leonard street down on the list
'at 81,900. Mr. Matheis believed
that it was time to attend to the Ga-
zette building. This. he said. was
bringing in a revenue of about $8,000
and is assessed for $60000. Manicc
Lockwood has some property assess-
ed at $25,000, which Mr. Matheis con
sldercd too small a figure. The coun-
cilman said that an officer of one cor-
poration in Norwalk had come to him
and said, that the concern with which
he is identified should have their as
sessmcnt raised at least twenty-five
per cent.
Other places mentioned by Council
mun Matheis were the Ampiihcatrc.
of Norwsik Park .«property in Wilton
avenue and the Elephant barn lot in
upper Main street. He thought that
the assessment should be raised so
high that the owners would be com.
polled to cut. them up into building.
lots and sell them. Some property in
France strcct is down for farm land
and then he knew of a lot, in West
Main street, down on the list at 8600.
Mr. Mathcis knew a man who stood
ready to pay $1.000 for it. but the
owner wants $1.200. .
When Councilman Matheis had con-
cluded. Mayor George B. Buxton said:
"There is no doubt about the truth of
- Mr. Mathcis' remarks." The mayor
suggested thc appointment of a man
.who would use more pains.
. Mr. Mathcis characterized the work
of the assessors as being a coniinunl
copying from year to year. If the rea-
son for this is that they don‘t got
enough pay. bc favored raising their
salaries so that they could give the
.work proper attention.
The council proceeded to ballot for
an assessor and the first ballot show
ed the following result:
Henry Mutbois. 3 votes.
Charles A. llurr. 8 voice.
When the count, was annouuccd by
the mayor, it number of the members
of the council endeavored to get, Mr.
Matheis to agree to accept the office,
but he flatly refused and dcclarcd that
he would not accept the post under
any clrminstnnccs. ()ii the next bal-
lot Charles A. Burr rcccivcd six votes
and was declared clcctei‘i.

weeks ago the twenty-year-old wife
of George Melville, a miner. told her
husband she was going out to attend
the wedding of a friend. Yesterday it
was discovered that was the bride and
had married Harry Northey, a young
man living less than half a mile from
her home.
Mrs. Melville had told Northey that
Melville was her uncle. and she did
not want him to know of her marriage
for a while. as she feared he would
cable the news to her mother. who.
she said, is an invalid in London.
So she went back and lived with
Melville for a week. then returned to
her younger husband and remained
with him until yesterday. when Mel-
ville succeeded in finding her. She
denied him and declared he was her
uncle and nothing more. Northey br-
licvcd her, notwithstanding the rec-

she married Melville in August. 1901.

CONTRACTOR GREGORY
THROWN FROM WAGON
Well-known Norwalk Builder
Seriously Hurt on Barnum’s
Hill, Morning
Franklin 13. Gregory. the Well known
Norwalk contractor and builder, was
seriously and painfully injured today
shortly before noon by being thrown
from his wagon on Barnum‘s Hill. His
left collar bone was broken and he
will probably be laid up for a couple
of weeks.
Mr. Gregory had a load of brackets
on his wagon and was on his way
to Park street, when the sharp pitch
of Barnum's Hill allowed the brackets
to slide off. Mr. Gregory was thrown
forward and struck either the shaft
or tire of a front wheel, finally land-
ing on the ground. Fortunately his
horse is a gentle one and stopped
at the command of its driver.
Though suffering sharp pain. Mr.
Gregory led his horse back home and
sent for Dr. A. H. Baldwin. 'l‘he phy-
sician was soon on hand and dressed
the injury.

Several Candidates in the Field
for Selectmen—~Councilmen
Luther M. Wright May be a
Candidate for Mayor in
South Horwalli
The poutical has is beginning to
buzz in The Norwaiks, and though
rather belated. there are prospects
that he will plant his sting in several
persons' cuticle before the votes are
counted. The public interest has not.
yet been much aroused, with the ex-
ception of the boom of Edward F.
Smith for selectman. which is grow-
ing daily. and has long ago passed the
period of infancy. Those who are
opposed to Mr. Smith are beginning
to wonder where the public sentiment
will stop bind to their minds is slowly
dawning the, fact that it 'is “all for
Smith." Not all. perhaps. but enough
to make them exert every influence
to prevent his getting the nomina-
lion. for they know that If he once
got the nomination, he could be elect-
ed as easily as rolling off a log.
Fire Chief Luther M. Wright. when
asked by n Sentinel reporter if he was
a candidate for mayor, laughed and
said, “Well, I have nothing lo say;
nothing at all."
Mayor Charles E. Dow, when asked
if he was a candidate for renomina-
lion. said, “Well, i cannot say. No
one has said anything to me about
it, and I have not mentioned it to
anyone. i understand that others are
looking for the nomination, and i do
not expect to be nominated. You see
i have held the office for two terms
already and hardly could expect a re-
nommntlon.“
it is said that there are one or two
other candidates for the position. but
they are keeping their work so close-
ly under cover that at present their
names have" not been mentioned in
any but an unofficial way.
There will probably be no change
in the board of councilman. unions
Mr, Wright should take the nomination
for the mayoralty, in which case a
well-known young man who would
doubtless prove a very popular selec-
tion and a strong vote gcitcr would
have the call. He has been approach-
cd in the matter and found to be in a
receptive mood. but desired that noth-
ing be sold of his candidacy until af-
ter the uitiyornity matter is settled.
in tho matter of selcctmcu, thcro
promises to be a rathcr llvoly fight
at tho caucus. A. Avlson. the present
incumbent. is u candidate for rcsclec‘
lion. and opposed to him is Edward F.
Smith. the former tobnccoiiist. Mr.
Smith will doubtless have a solid

his fight in Norwulk.
Mr. Smith would undoubtedly make
a fine sclectmnn, and he is peculiarly
qualified for the position. iLo hits a

uphill fight. His friends are confl-
dent that his popularity and other
qualifications for the office will land

James A. Brown. the present South
Norwulk selccimau. is a candidate for
re-elcctlon. it is understood. but, there
are rumors that some of the younger
members of the party who have done
good work, are after the nomination
in a quiet way. and hope to land it.
On the Democratic side of the tense
there seems to be considerable no.
certainty as to who is to be slated for
the nominations. Tito Republican
majority is so large that it will be
very tilflicult for the Democrats to

it was rumored about the streets that
Dr. F. l. flurnell was slated for the
nomination. When asked about it Dr.
Burnell stated to a Sentinel reporter
that it was the first he had board of
it. He made some further remarks
regarding it. which showed that in
his opinion physicians do Well to keep

Burglars Who Entered the New
York Grocery Company’s
Place of Business from the
Rear, “Secured iSZI—Know
Where Manager *Thoinpson
Kept the Change
A bold burglary. almost the exact
counterpart of one perpetrated a week
ago at the store of Lorenzo Dibble in
North Main street, was committed last
night or early this morning at the Nor-
walk store of the New York Grocery
Company. at 35 Main street. As was
the char at Mr. Dibble‘s store. the
thicvou must have been thorough ac-
quainted with the task they set out to
do, and them is a possibility that the
sumo parties may be guilty of both
jobs.
The “down at the New York Groc-
ery Company's storc succeeded in get-
ting a few cents over $2 . The sum
taken consisted of $16 in silver and
about 35 iii pennies.
At just what time the miscreants
mudc tiicir visit. to the store is not
known. but it occurred between 9
o'clock last night. Wlliill Manager Wil-
liam Thompson went home, and the
opening hour this morning.
As was his usual custom, Manager
Thompson took 'ihc bills in the re-
ceipts of the day with him from the
store and left the change in a metal
bin bear the cash desk. only a few
foot from the front of the store. That
the thieves had made at least, some-
what of a study of the situation was
shown by the fact that they cxpiorcd
such an unusual hiding place in search
of the money.
Manager Thompson made an investi-
gation nbout the store this morning.
after he lcarned of the robbery. and
could not find a single article of mar-
chnndiun missing. From this it is
concluded that the burglars worn sim-
ply nftor booty that had no telltale
marks of identification upon it.
The robbery was reported to Chief
of Police Thomas Bradley. who gave
out no information. with the hope of
begging the culprits today. The
chances of catching the guilty parties
norm rntiicr slight, however. at the
present tints.
it is very evident that the work was
not that of boys. for footprints at the
rear of the store showed that. a men
was mixed up in the affair. The on
trance was effected by pushing open
a transom at the rear end of the store.
Tracks of only one person can be
soon, but it is thought likely that there
was at least one confederate.
The person who took the money
climbed to a high pile of bags of
floor, which partially gave way with
his weight on them. and no evidently
partly slid and partly jumped to the
floor. When he left the store he did
not take the trouble to crawl back
through the transom. but unholted the
door and walked out. This was open
when the employee of the store put
in on appearance this morning.

to he Laidet Once
The City of Norwalk officials are
determined that unless the Connecti‘
cut Railway and Lighting Company
immediately makes repairs to its
tracks in Wall street from the tunnel
to the Norwalk Club, the city will do
the work at the company's expense.
A long letter from the company's
general manager. J. E. Sewall, and
general superintendent. William Dar
bee. declaring that the company had
stood ready for a long time to do the
work and would commence it as soon
as the city would indicate a grade. was
read. This letter, Mayor George B.
Buxton said, seemed to‘be merely a
parley on the part of the company, an
attempt to shift the responsibility
back on to the city.
After the subject had been summed
up, Mayor Buxton said:
"The only thing for tie to do is to
go ahead with the work as we intend—
cd."
Councilman Henry Matheis. chair-
man ‘of the highway department.
quickly replied: ”That's what I will
do tomorrow morning if it is clear."
When the subject was brought to
the attention of the meeting, Mr. Ma.
thels stated that had the weather been
favorable he would have started with
a gang of men yesterday morning. So-
periniendcnt Wainright. he said, had
been to see him and insisted on a
grade, survey and stakes to go by.
He had claimed that no work could be
done without them. To this Mr. Ma-
thcis rcplicd that the city had not ask-
ed the company to change any, grade.

Says Improvements and Debt 7

Editor of The Sentinel:
Dear Sir: When a gentleman like
Mr. Swnrtz expresses an opinion about
public affairs, it is well for gentle-
men not quite so well informed to
ponder a little ,
it is beyond dispute that we do,uot '
need a high school, so far as room
and efficiency are concerned. But if
it be an ornament that we want, sim-
ply because other towns have been
more extravagant than wise. then
let us wait.
However. there is a question I
should like to have answered: What
is the total indebtedness of the town
of Norwsik today? in 1900 it was
$359,654.74. Have these figures been
augmented or decreased since then?
Let some on give us all the facts be—
fore We vote $95,000 away. Let the
tax rates of other towns. their indebt-
edness, etc... be given. And let the
people who pay rent say whether they
desire their landlord to raise the rent
in order that they may send their
children to a palatial structure or a
plain brick building. Ornaments are
costly sometimes.
it is not pride of opinion or fear
on my part that 1 address you, Mr.
honor. but in behalf of scores of peo-
ple who have all they can do to meet
present expenses and bear the bur—
dens of local government~
