Barton held a very lively and‘ riotous
town meeting, yesterday alternoon
which finally adjourned in disorder.‘
. before all the business on the call had
been transacted and muchol it, will
have to come up at another meeting.
Robert S Puldy, was named as the
A chairman oi the meeting, which took
up first the matter or the town report.
j umber of the voters tried to poke
‘af w holes in the report for political
purposes but apparently there was
nothing in the report whic Selectman
’ Vanrensselear Pooley could not explain
to the satisfaction of the meeting.
’ William '1‘. Andrews as usual assum-
‘ ed the role of the chief Inquisitor and
A startled quite a controversy over 1111
item of 325 paid to a South Norwalk
physician for attending the town poor
This brought out many view in re-
‘ gard to physiclarrs in general and in
particular One tax payer though that
Were no doctors in Darlen who would
be competent to “doctor a sick cat.”
another said that; he thought the
town poor ought to have as good medi-
: , cal attention as anyone. A gentleman
_' named Scott kept insisting throughout
the or ument that almost everyone
else. w 11 out or order until someone
told him to ”shut up.” Mr. Scott shut
up forthwith.
Selectman Pooley explained the item
tolhe satisfaction of everyone. but
Mr. Andrews framed a motion that the
fees of doctors be limited to the cur-
rent prices for visits. This was pus-
sed by the meeting. it was not under
the call permissable, but it passed
anyway.
The meeting then voted to increase
the number of constables to eight to
take effect next year. This brought
about considerable debate before its
passage. Some of the Newton resi-
dents thought that they were not out-
iiciently policed and others took the
ground that Noroion was such a good
place that the whole eight could he
proiitably employed in Darien center.
The meeting then voted to borrow
85, 000 for expenses for the year
The sum of $100 was appropriated
for each of the fire companies.
A A motion empowering the 801100] vi-
sitors to him all the teachers was the
~ source of much wrangling, during
' g which the meeting got away from the
chairman and ilngcncraicd into a free
for all debate with the result that no
one could be heard, halt a dozen bolus
" on the floor at once. he matter was
finally put to vote during one of the
meetins's lucid intervals and was
town down with a crush which start-
led the workers at the polls down stairs
as they had been debarrcd the plea-
suree ot the oratory oi the meeting by
their crucial positions.
A with 593, and Dr.
can mayor this gives the party control.
elitbree Republicans elected ate
‘ C ides Ii. Dilworth, Clarence Buttery
and Thomas A. Skelly and the Demo
"crats ri‘eury Mathelrs. James '1‘ Hub-
bell and Dr. Jerome D. Wirt.
The biggest vote of the day was
polled by Councilman Henry Matheis,
Whose total was 665. Mr. Mathels
‘aguin broke all records for pastors,-
even his own. Last year he took the
plum with 199. but great was: the
amazement at the polling place, Hope
Hose quarters, last night. when it
was found that yesterday he had so-
cured 246.
. In yesterday's election there were
cast 163 straight Republican and 167
straight Democratic ballots. Mr. Sco
iield received 138 pastors and his name
was pasted over 38 times, while Mr.
Smith's pastors numbered 32 and his
name wasv pasted over 139 times. The
candidates who were on both tickets
had nothing to worry over.‘
Next high man to Mr. Matheis on
the council ticket yesterday was
Charles H. Diiworth, with 500 votes.
James '1‘ Hubbell was a close third.
Jerome D. ert
fourth, with 552.
Yesterday‘s election marked the eu
trance of Dr. Wirt into Norwaik city
politics. , The result should be most-
gratifying to him for it is seldom that
a candidate makes such a line run as
, he did. the first time he runs for 01"
due. There were 121 of the little pink
busters bearing his name pasted over
the names of other candidates on the
tickets, while his name was pasted
over only 28 times. a smaller number
of times! than any of the candidates
for the council. He ran almost a bun-
dred ahead of his ticket.
Clarence Buttery’s election is an
endorsement of his work on the board
during the past year. Undannted by
last year’s defeat, Thomas A. Skelly
went into the field again this year
worked hard, and was rewarded by
winning out.

issues and arguments became x, Armruy

braced amendments providing for in
crease oi! the salary of members of the
legislaturefrom $300 to'8500 and the
lengthening of the terms of judges of
probate from two to four years was
over welmingly rejected.
The returns in Waterbury were car-
ly in hand owing‘to the use of ma,
chines, and Mayor William E, Thorns
was found to have been reelected by
1,136 majority over John E. Sewell, his
Republican opponent, and the only
Republican who was returned was
CityAClork Sandland. who had a ma-
jority of 114. Mr. Sewell was gener-
al manager of the street railway com-
pany at Waterbury during the big
strike of the street our men, but he
had always been popular and the Re-
publicans expected he would easily
w n
Not much attention was paid to the
constitutional amendments and in a
majority of the towns the sentiment
was adverse to their adoption, and the
vote was fully three to one against
them. The matter had not received
much attention until a few days ago
when a New Haven lawyer sent to
each town a letter containing a plea
against raising the salary of the mem-
bers of the General Assembly. A‘he
question was only lightly discussed
‘tlid as the revision of hte constitution
with the proposed amendments had
been endorsed by several prominent
men, its defeat was not expected.
Politics did not llgure in the town
elections but the license question prov-
ed to be a. very important one in many
ways. Milford went no license for the
first time. since it was founded in 1639,
by a majority of 96. Last year the
town went license by 29 votes. A name-
, sake town, New Milford, went. no 1i-
ccusc by 40 votes for the first time in
31 years.
in the eastern part of the state ev-
my town between Norwich and the
Massachusetts state line excepting
Putnam went dry and as a result of
yesterday’s elections there is no ii
sense town in Windham couty between
the Rhoda lslsud state line and Willi-
mnntlc. The greatest surprise came
111.1119 town of Griswold which has us,
uully voted license by a large majority
but yesterday went no license by a
margin of 128. The town of Lisbon
nus been no license for titty years and
yesterday went over to the license
column by seven majority.
Dunbury went Democratic and also
came out in favor or license, the vote
standing: Yes, 191-1; no, 641. On the
constitutional amendment the majority
expressed favor for it, 564 voting for
acceptance and 263 for rejection
Bethel went on record as opposing li
cease by 383 to 235 and asinvorlng
the constitutional revision by 54 to 29.
The town or Griswold, including
Jewett City, created one of the sur-
prises in that section of the state by
going over to the cold water column
by 128 majority, as it usually has vot-
ed license by a large margin. Lisbon,
which for fifty years past, had been
a nolicense town, took its stand in
the other column by seven votes.
Plalnileld voted ‘no on the license
question by 53 majority. Sixteen
votes made Killihgly a no-llcanse town,
while Sterling by a. margin of tWere
is in the license column. Putnam
voted license b 209 majority, while
Thompson whic had not voted on the
license question for twenty-nine years,
remained a dry town by the small
margin of two votes.
The vote on the license question is
as follows:
East Haven—License 92 to 82.
Plainvllle—License 289 to 166.
Milford—~No-license 442 to 846.
