Budget from November Isl,
1905,,lo November I, 1906,
Amounts to $42,550-What
Each Department Asks for

An important meeting of the Nor-
Walk City Council was held last night,
when the budget. to be asked for to
run the city affairs from November 1,
1905, to November 1, 1906, was decided
upon. This list of expected expendi.
tures will be submitted to the annual
adjourned city meeting. which will be
held at the town assembly hall in Wall
street. Tuesday evening. November 7.

The total amount to be asked for is
$42,550. There. is an increase over last
year in four departments, the highway,
fire, sewer and lights. This is account-
ed for by the fact that last. year
several departments were shaved down
to come within an eight-mill tax limit.
The budget asked for calls for an eight-
mili fax this year also, which will be
sufficient, as last year’s council was
obliged to pay a number of back bills
held over from the year previous.

There is an increase in the highway
department oi $1.000. a $2 0 increase
in the fire department, a $2 0 increase
in the sewer department. and a 8100
increase in the lights department.

Below is the vote passed last even-
ing in reference to the_ proposed bud-
ge : ‘

Voted to ask at the next annual ad-
journed city meeting to be held on the
Tuesday after the first Monday of No-
vember. 1905, for the following
amounts of money for each of the
departments of the city government for
the next ensuing fiscal year:

OF NEW DIESEL ENGINE

Carried the Entire Load of the
Municipal Electric Works for
a Short Time this Week

South Norwalk has had two visitors,
the past few days, who. having heard
of the finely equipped municipal eieo
trlcal Works maintained by the city.
came here to see for themselves.

The visitors were 0. C. G. Urban.
manager of the Key West.Electrlc
Company, and Chief Engineer Porter,
the New York representative of the
some concern. They were entertain~
ed at the electrical works by Superin-
tendent A. E. Winchester.

They were fortunate to witness the
new oil engine. with dynamo and air
compressor In operation, the prelimi-
nary test having been given the much
inery this week. There is yet seine
parts of the engine to be placed In
position, and considerable work to be
done adjusting the machinery, and
getting everything to work smoothly.
This is expected to be accomplished in
a few days. and the. engine formally
turned over to the city by the Diesel
Company. of Providence, Rhole Is-
land. Af one time, Sunday, it car-
ried the entire load of the city plant.
and since then it has performed the
work with one other dynamo and en-
glue.

The visitors were not only favorably
impressed with the 250 horse power
engine, one of which they expect. to
have installed in the plant. in Key
West, btit were great admirers of the
air compressor, (made in South Nor-
walk by the Nomad: iron Works
Company). They pronounced it the
finest piece of machinery of the kind
they had ever seen, and at once paid
an inspection to the niaiiufnctory in
South Norwaik. and were shown over
the plant. The South Norwalk air coin~
prossors have a number of improve-
ments and advantages over those man-
ul’aclurcd anywhere else, and it is con-
sidered probably that many of them
will be used hereafter in connection
with the Diesel engines. Charles it).
Johnson and Frederick’iictts. former
Norwnlk residents, who have been set-
ling up the engine here, expect to
leave this week for Gardner. Massa-

But Dr. Kendall, After a Warm
Discussion, Was Dutvoted by
the Other Members of the
Board, Who Wanted Three,
as at Present

 

 

A regular hornets' nest developed
last night ,at the meeting of the board
of school visitors. This was the an-
nual meeting for reorganization, and
the fun was started by Dr. George S.
Kendall. when he suggested that one
acting school visitor be appointed for
the coming year, instead of clinging to
the old system of having three. as has
been the case for a number of years.

Dr. Kendall believed that one acting
visitor, who would practically be a
superintendent of schools, would do
the work better than three. He con-
sidered the present system very inciti-
cient and unsatisfactory. He concluded
his remarks on the subject by moving
that one acting visitor be appointed.
but his motion was voted down.

Dr. Kendall also remonstrnted stren-
uously’against turning over so much
work of the board to the acting visit-
ors. As a result. he said. practically
nothing was known by the members
of the board, with the exception of
the acting visitors.

He was booked up in this statement
by .lohn J. Cavanagh. “iir. Kendall
usually gets to his point after awhile,"
said Mr. Cavanagh. "This reminds me
of when l was elected mayor. The doc-
tor said to me. 'You think you are
mayor. but you're not. You're the
chief of police.’ When i was elected
to the. board of school visitors i asked
somebody what my duties would be.
The reply was "0h. outside of the act~
ing visitors. it is a mutual admiration
society.’ "

All of the members of the board
were in attendance at last night's
meeting, including Bradley S. Keith.
llnrry Rider, John .I. (hwunagin lico
Davis, Lottie S. Boers, Arthur (3. Wilvt'v
ler, Abiathar Blanchard, lir. (lmrge
S. Kendall nnd'llr. Thomas b‘. Clunc.
Dr. l‘luno is the only new member of
the board. He. succeeds M. ii. Glover
and was formally introduced to the
other members of the board by Mr.
Wheeler. '* .

Mr. Keith was chosen to succeed
himself as chairman of the board. Chu-
sitlcrnbic amusement was dcrtvcd from
the rcsiiit of the first ballot. when too
votes were cast. (in the second, there
were nine, of which Mr. Keith rccochd
ill. 'Anothcr laugh developed when
Mr. Keith jokingly voted for himself.

The for first began to lly when
Chairman Keith said it was time to
‘lt‘lt'l lhrco acting visitors.

ilr. Kendall took the floor and voic-
ed his objections. Iio bclicvntl it time
for the board to take a departure from
old ways. 'i‘hci'c wore different condi-
tions now than those that had govorn-
cd for the past 250 years There was
a grant prospect of having a ccntral
high school within the course of a
year. it was well to consider this, he
thought. and while the town has the
right. under the law. to appoint a su-
perintendent of schools, perhaps in
View of the fact that there are no
consolidated school districts. it would
be well not to appoint such superin-
tendent. 0n the. other hand. one act-
ing visitor could be appointed and he
would practically be a superintendent
of schools.

The speaker made the point that all
of the schools of the town are not up
to the same standard. Some of the
schools, be said, do better work than
others. This was shown by the pro-
portion of suctmssful candidatm for the
high school. lie. considered that one
acting visitor, devoting more time to
the schools. could make suggestions
that would result in raising the stand
urtls 01' some of the schools. llc closed
by moving that. our acting visitor be
appointed to succeed the three.

Leo Davis said that be though lir.
Kendall‘s idea a good one. but he
wanted to know if any provision had
been made in regard to salary.

Mr. Cavanagh thought it would be
well to do away with the present prin-
cipal system.

Mr. Blanchard said he had always
advocated a superintendent of schools.
btit if the town had one. It could not.
do without principals. lie did not be
Have a good superintendent could be
secured for less titan 82.000.

Mr. Davis said that with a good
superintendent. there would be no need
of the high priced principals tinI town
has now.

Mr. Wheeler was of the opinion that
Dr. Kendall had sounded tho kcynolo
of the situation, but (vinaldcrcd him a
lap ahead of the game. No favored
putting off the subject for a year.
when the people would be in u more
receptive mood for a superintendent
of schools,

fir, Kendall said he evidently had
been misunderstood. He did not at
the time advocate a superintendent of
schools. What he wanted was one act-
ing visitor instead of three.

The ‘ncting visitors at prmenl got
8100 apiece yearly. fir. Kendall was of.
the opinion that one from man «mild
be secured to sche for h or fill our
day and do all the work necessary
within the. appropriation now niluwmi
for the three.

Dr. Kendall's motion was lost and
the board proceeded to elect action
visitors. Upon motion of Mr. Beers.
Mr. Wheeler was chosen the first act.
ing visitor by the secretary casting
one ballot. Dr. Kendall immediately

the second doting visitor. (in this
bullet Mr. Blanchard received six
votes. Mr, Beersptwo ,and Mr. Davis
one. Mr. Davis was chosen the third
acting visitor. if received six votes.
Dr. Clune two a , Mr, Beers one.

Dr. Davis wasnlso chosen superln~
tendent of the evening schools. He
received five votes and Dr. Oiune four.

At last month‘s meeting. Dr. Ken-
dall had stated that he lied been told
that the board did not have the right.
to delegate to a cominlttoe of its own
members the power to hire high school
teachers and to purchase books and
supplies. Chairmen "Keith conferred
with the term attorneys, Warner and
(,loldschmldt, and read a reply last
night, saying that the board did have
the right.

When Mr. Keith had concluded. Dr.
Kendall asked, “Why not adjourn to-
night nud appoint. a committee of two
to do all of our work for the rest of
the year?" He did. not think that
the board could turn all of its Work
over to a committee. “The acting
visitors take the snuff." said he. "and
we do the sneezing." His point was
that whatever mistakes are made by
the acting visitors. the whole board
has to take the blame.

A discussion folloWed over the con-
flicting powers of the acting visitors
and the district com lttee in reference
to hiring high school eachers.

Dr. Kendall relt ated that the
school board as a b rd has too little
to do with the sch l affairs of the
town. He had tal ed with former
members of the hon d and they had
been of the same op ion. Mr. Cava-
nagh here made th remarks before
accredited to him. ‘

Last year the acti g school visitors
were the committee to purchase sup-
plies and last evening it was voted to
add Dr. Kendall to the list. in order
that he. may see how; things are done.

Thomas Ralcom was reelected pur-
chasing agent. a position he has filled
during the past year most acceptably.
as was remarked at the meeting.

Application was made that Harry
Hendricks, a pupil at the East Nor-
walk school. and James Thomas. a
pupil at the Over River school. each
fifteen years of age. be allowed to leave
school and go to work. though they
had not completed the necessary
course. The first application was re-
ferred to Harry Rider with power and
the other lad was given permission
to go to work on condition that he
attend evening school.

.lnhn Valient was recommended to
the scirctinon as truant officer for the
Over River district. Principal Wig-
hani has found that many children of
school age In his district are not at—
tending school.

'l‘hc schools of the town were given
permission to close on ii‘riday of this
week. on condition that the teachers
of any school closingon that day eith-
or attend the fenchers' convention at
llnrtford or visit, schools in some other
town.

Permission was granted i'ldrona M.
Daniels. ten years of age, residing in
the Over River district, to attend the
Center school.

The meeting came to a closu with a
discussion over the report of the board
as published in the town report.

A. Woodward. who died at. his resi-
dence in South Norwalk on September
29th, left an estate worth from $500,-
000 to $000,000, all in well invested
property and securities. The will,
drawn about three. years ago by Gen-
eral Russell Frost. is a lengthy docu-
ment, of sixteen typewritten pages,
and has been submitted to the heirs
interested, These heirs. if they desire.
can make objection to its terms. but It
is stipulated that if there is any con‘
test they shall forfeit any. claim to the
estate. it is not anticipated that there
will be any trouble in settling the pro
perty, as the gifts and trust funds in.
volved total up to something over
$250,000 and in view of this, should
the property figure to twice that sum.
the liclrsvut-iaw will receive a consid-
erable additional amount outright.

Mrs. Elbert A. Woodward, widow of
the deceased is given one-third of
whatever the estate may be appraised
at, and the sum of $50,000 is left out
right to Miss bottle ii. Woodward,
the youngest. daughter of' the (ieccas'

Woodward, a son. Another son. Frank
Woodward. receives the income front

We sisters of Mr. Woodward. and $5,—
000 to trust. is left to the Norwan.

meal of a free bed, to be designated
as “The Woodward Fund licd." Should
John B. Woodward die without issue.
his shnrc will revert to the Widow. and
not to the other sons and daughters.
as would naturally be the case.

it is expressly stated in the will that
if there is a shrinkage in the funds af-
ter the widow has her fund Miss Wood-
ward aud Mrs, Willis Woodward get
their full allotment and all the other
bequests shall lose in the ratio of their
size to the whole. On the other band.

Redeem a Promise Made More

Visit All the South Atlantic
Coast States, Making Many
Speeches

WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.——Pr,esldent
Roosevelt began his tour of the South
at 8:30 a. in. today, The departure from
Washington was without incident. The
president and Mrs, Roosevelt reached
the train five minutes before leaving
time. The French ambassador and
Mrs. Jusserand had been waiting at
the station some time. to say farewell
and were at once Invited into the presi-
dent’s private car. The president was
in happy vein. " As he alighted from
his carriage at the side entrance to the
train shed. he assisted Mrs. Roosevelt
out and then smiled and raised his
hat to the half hundred spectators
who had gathered to see his departure.
There was no demonstration. Four
“white wings" lined up at the curb and
lifted their helmets. In the station
the public was barred behind the gates
several hundred feet away and those
who surrounded the last ear of the
special train were mostly depot em-
pioyes. Just before the. train moved
out the president stepped from the ob-
servation room to the rear platform
of his car and smilingly bpwed ack-
nowledgements to the flutter of hand-
kerchiefs of the crowd“

The trip is made in redemption of
a promise given more than a year ago.
He will visit, in the course of his tour,
all of the South Atlantic coast states,
Alabama. Arkansas and Louisiana. 0n
the completion of his trip he will have
visited, during his administration as
president. every state in the union.
