Norwolk Council Decides That
it flannel Locally Spend]
More Than City Appropriatod
for Fire Fighting Apparatus

 

 

Last night's special meeting of the
Norwalk City Council struck a tough
snag when it came. to buying a new
fire truck and putting rubber tires
on it.

incidentally there was another apt
illustration of the lure-worn saying
that “there’s many a slip twlxt the
cup and the lip," and what's still
worse it is not yet settled whether the
vehicle is to have oldeflsiiloned steel
tires or the more up-todate rubber
equipment.

The trouble arose over the fact that
the city appropriated the sum of 02.500
for a truck and equipment. and the
committee. after deliberating for sev-
erai weeks. came to the conclusion
that the truck which they want to
land in Norwalk would cost202.500
with steel tires. Rubber tires‘would
cast $250 extra and a harness about
$75 more.

Plans had been carefully made to
overcome the obstacle of extra nrorrey
at. last night's meeting. but they went.
awry.

The committee decided that a La-
France truck was the proper piece of
apparatus to put in the Main street
fire house. and a resolution that one
be lIIIrchased with steel tires. at a
cost not to exceed 8:. '.500 Igor promptly
passed without comment.

No sooner had this gone through
without a dissenting vote. than for-
mer Chief J. Thornton Prowitt. who
is a member of the truck purchasing
committee. addressed the Council. He
remarked that he was sorry that the
vote had gone through as it had. He
asserted that he was in favor of pur-
chasing a truck with rubber tires, for
it would save wear and tear on the
truck and add several years to the
life of the apparatus.

This immediately suggested the ox-
tra appropriation for rubber tires. and
the snag before referred to simultan
oously manifested itself. when Corin-
cllman Henry Mathelii. with a consid-
emblo degree of emphasis. declared:

"Mr. Mayor 1 think we had better
go a little eaby."

This started a bust: of conversation
around the coasciinraoicboard. Will»
pered conferences and Mr. Matheis
was again heard above the bum:

“1 don't think we have a right to
do this.‘

It was now very" evident that break-
era were ahead. The conference con-
tinued. a representative of the LII
France 'i‘ruck Company an interested
spectator on the outside. of the rail.

Cltx Clerk J. Beldeu Hurlbutt fin
ally remarked that he would like to
suggest that the meeting would be
acting Illegally to vote to spend more
money than the city had appropria-
ted. He would like to see the rubber
tires on the truck all right. but he
could not favor a method for getting
them that would‘not stand in law.

Mr. Matlrels interposed again to re
mark: “1 think we are doing pretty
well to get the truck. Let us he sat-
lsiied."

Councilman Charles H. Dllwortb
stated that the situation struck him
that the city would not feel particu-
larly bad if the council spent the extra
money required for rubber tires.

"I don't believe we can do it legal-
ly." returned Councilman Matheis.

Councilman Diiworth: “l was given
to understand that we could buy the
truck with steel tires and their make
an appropriation for rubber tires."

Mr. Matheis said that he did riot
object to the rubbertircs. He wanted
them. in fact. just as much as any
councilman

Ex-Chief Prowltbbellevcd that the
city meeting would have been just as
willing to approprllte 83.000 as the
82 500 which was asked for and se-
cured Mr. Hurlbutt added that he was
by no means opposed to the rubber
tires on the truck. but he did not
believe that the council had the right
to spend $2.800. when the city meeting
stipulated $2.500

Considerable mystery was afforded
by the next move. Councilman James
'1‘. Hubbell made a motion. which was
carried. and was to the effect that the
vote to purchase the truck be recon
sidered Mr. Hubbell then amended
the original motion to read that the
truck may be equipped with either
steel or rubber tires, as the commit
toe deems been
Mr. Hubbeli was asked later what

. the import of his amendment was in

view of the fact that the sum appro

printed. 02. 500. was the price of the

truck with steel tires and rubber tires
would cost ”50 extra. He replied
that 'thiswas done in order that the
committee would not », have to be tied
down absolutely lathe steel tires.

su loot at the meeting.

Legislative Committee of In-
quiry into Conduct of Fair-
Ileld County Board Resumes
Investigation

 

 

The second day’s hearing before the
special legislative committee, in
Bridgeport, to inquire into the purch-
ase of the Jail property by the county
commissioners from the Wheeler
Beers estate In the spring of 1904, in
which Merle C. Cowlos made a profit
in iii hours of 88,100. was even more
sensational than on the first day's
hearing a week ago. Mr. Cowles told
the committee, after some hesitation.
that Frank Beers received 82,900 of
the profits, which was a gift, and that

no receipt or acknowledgment was
ever taken. Mr. Cowies stated that
he gave it to Mr. Beers as a matter
of friendship. because Mr. Beers was
ill and in financial straits and wanted
to go to Europe to recuperate.

Mr. Cowles yesterday did not tell
the investigaitng committee what he-
csrue of his other profits on the deal.
He did explain that. he made a pres-
cm of $100 to his wife; also gaVe her
some money to get some clothing for
the members of the family. and also
paid a. bill of 310010 John Clampitt.
Other than that he estimates that he
spent 31.500 in traveling about the
country in the interest of the Arueri~
can Rom Roller 00.. for which he
never received a cent. as the concern
went into bankruptcy before he could
get a cent from them for commissions
and expenses.

It also came out in the hearing that
the transfer of the property to Mr
Cowles from the Boers estate, and the
transfer of the property from Mr
Cowles to the county commissioners
was all done at the same time. the
transaction being made in Judge
Kelsey‘s office.

The sensational part 01‘ the lull
many did not come out until after thr
committee had retired into executive
«salon, and it. was there that Mr
Cowlea told the story of the Fraull
Beers share in the profits. After hear
ing this story the committee decided
that the testimony was proper to some
but in public. so that Mr. Cowlea did
not have any means of escape in tbs
telling of it, as ho had to repeat thy
same story in open session that he
did behind closed doors.

The revelations, so far are interest
ing particularly in the face of the
fact that Mr. Beers brought civil ac
tion against Trustee ‘Heury D. Beach
after the transaction, on the ground
that Mr. Beach had mismanaged the
estate and sued for damages on ac
count of the mismanagement. a suit
$25: was dismissed-by Judge flora

The hearing opened with the state
men: from Attorney Banks, represent
ing the county commissioners, that tht
«county commissioners were willing to
submit their private bank accounts it
the members of the investigating com
mitlce, and to assist in explaining any
items, but they were not. agreed that
their private accounts be gone ,over
with by Attorney Culiinan or Judge
DeForest in public, This precipitated
an argument that was cut short by
Chairman Burnes who said that: the
commissioners would probably br
asked to show their bank books and
accounts. and that the "attorneys would
be prese'ut. at the hearing.

Judge Banks then presented two
letters from savings banks in Dun
bury to the effect that. Charles H. Peix
drew from one bank his account of
860L75 on May 12, 1004, and from
another savings bank on the same
day the sum of 8.07339. Tire object
of this testimony is to show a deposit
in the Connecticut National bank
about those detail, which will explain
where Commissioner Peix got his‘
money to pay for his automobile.

Mr. Cowles was on the stand when
the hearing was terminated a «week
ago, and the hearing was intended to
open with him. continuing his testi-
mony. Attorney Culiinan explained to
the committee that Attorney Phelan
had seen him and explained that. he
had been retained by Mr. Cowlcs. Mr.
Culliuan explained that he knew that
Mr. Phelau was detained by the death
of a friend.
