MIDDLETOWN, March 20.~ltalian
immigrants are again flocking to this
city in large numbers, and It is es-
timated that Middletown's Italian
population is in the neighborhood of
3.000. probably the largest in proper
tion to its size of any city in the state.
Crowds of a dozen or there come in
on almost every train and over 100
came last week. The newcomers are
met. at the station by their country-
men and the meeting is affectionate to
say the least.
Every one seems to regard the new-
comer as either sons or daughters.
and there is no bashfulness shown.
for everyone is duly hugged and kis-
ed, this ceremony hole -the first de-
gree initiation to Mi dletowu soil.
Where the newcomers are quartered
is a mystery, for the ltaiian tene-
ments already appear,to be corwded
to the utmost capacity. ' Strange as
it may seem. thereis no difficl‘llty’ln
finding Jobs for the newly landed, and
they usually start out to work and

Hearings on This flatter. and
Also to Establish a Board
of Estimate and Taxation
and Two Public F ioais Held
in Hartford, Yesterday
Hearings on three bills of direct lil-
terest to the people of The Not-walks
were held yesterday before the com
mittee on cities and boroughs at Hari-
ford. .
Of these bills, one calls, for the giv~
ing to the East Norwalk Fire District
the right to establish a municipal elec-
tric light plant; another is for the up
pointment of a board of estimate and
taxation for the Town of Norwaik. and
the third authorizes the town to es-
tablish two public floats, one being
intended for Norwalk and one for
South Norwaik.
Attorney John J. Walsh. who attend-
ed ail three hearings. is enthusiastic
over the measures and expressed the
opinion today that all three bills would
pass. ‘
In reference to the bill permittlllg
Float Norwalk to establish a municipal
electric light plant. Mr. Walsh also
says that it appears that the com-
mittee is favorably inclined to the
bill. At this hesriugthe Consolidat-
ed Railway Company was represented
by Attorney Robinson, of Hartford:
Attorney Morehouse, of New Haven,
and Manager A. V. Walnright, of the
South Norwnlk district. -
Mr. Walsh expressed much surprise
at the bearing that the company
should appear and oppose the bill. in-
asmuch as he had been informed by
1 the company that it believed it could
furnish East Norwalk with light cheap-
but .thast Nerwsllo insulted on a’ ‘
municipal plant. it would not‘obiocfu '-
Speaking of Mr. . Wainright's‘ tesilk
mouy before the committee. Mr. Walsh ;
quotes him as saying that the people ‘
of East Norwalk do not want their ‘
houses lighted with ,electrlcity; that
the company had canvassed East Nor-
walk on the subject and only ten
would take electri Tights. unfit that
the company could - lik Eastflor
walk with‘llght‘ cheaper than the'ipro-
posed municipal plant could. . Mr.
Walsh further quotes lilr. Wainright
as saying. under" questioning from Mr.
Malone. hence chairman of the com-
mittee; that be (Mr. Waiuright) was
at the. hearing representing the Con-
soliduied Railway Company in the in-
terests of the taxpayers of East Nor-
walk and to protect them from them-
selves, which, Mr. Walsh says, raised
a general laugh throughout the room.
Concerning other claims of the com-
pany, Mr. Walsh said there werenone,
made, except by Attorney Morebouse,
who said that the consolidated Rail-
way Company ought not to have the
dividends of its stockholders jeopar-
dized or reduced by the company being
forced to' enter into competition with
municipalities. ,
The East Norwalk delegation in fa-
vor of the bill included Mr. Walsh as
spokesman, Edward F. Smith, H. C.
Drake and Dr. E. H. Gumbart. The
latter was equipped with a large num-
ber of facts, and told the committee
of the East Nor-walk Fire District's
population, assets, Its needs, etc. Each
member of the“ delegation addressed
the committee; _
Mr. Walsh summed up his argument
in brief by‘olalgting that the East Nor-
walk people. as taxpayers. ought to be
entitled to have the snare. right to
purchase the commodities which were
open market, as private corporations
have. and that to prevent them from
so doing for the sole purpose of pro-
tecting the wateredfitock of a cor-
poration by forcing East Norwaik to
buy from certain corporations at the
latter’s price or go without light. was
a rank injustice. , ..
Estimatojnd Tattotion Board.
, The bill hoard yesterday in relation
to the appointment of a board of esti-
Norwaik was the one introduced by
order“‘of a town meeting hold some
time ago. Town Counsel Levi Warner
and Attorney Walsh spoke in favor of
the bill. I
If this bill goes through, much power
become simply distributing agents of
the board. This board of estimate and
taxation will consist often taxpayers
whowill assemble. make estimates for
a forthcoming rearrand lay the tax.
Thus, if the binomial. town meetings
will not lay the toxin the future."
The object ofvthephill is the preven-
tion of the increase of the town debt.
This debt has. increased more than
$100,000 in thetlaat ten years. ,'

‘ The bill authorising.the town to es-
