According to the testimony of three

Business Men's Baseball Game Will
Add $150 More to the Fund
‘ A meeting of the Day Nursery Asso~
elation was held Wednesday, the 15th
inst. in‘the pattern of the Constan-
tional Church. at South Norwallt.
The treasurer read it report of the
amount of money received on Nursery
Day. from the various factories in
town. Willie there are some who
have not yet reported the amount at-
reiidy realized is over $200. certainly a
very liberal contribution. and one
much appreciated.
The Day Nursery. we understand, is
to be still further benefited by the pro
ceds of the recent baseball game.
Managr Skelly reports that about 3150
will be realised. This will be very
gratifying to tho directors.
Visiting the Nursery this week. we
found nineteen children being cared
for. while the mothers are at work.
It was voted to engage an assistant
for the iniitmn. Mrs. Dennis. as the
work is now more than one person can
take care, of.
When we consider that ten of the
children there are under three yarn of
age. and one only two months old. we
will readily understand that the ma-
tron is busy every moment of her
time.
The directors are limiting for sulfur
blc rooms at less rent than they are
now paying. in some central location.
It is now an established fact that the
Day Nursery was a necessity. and it
is being made use of by those for
whom it was intended.
it is also a fact that the good work
it is doing is more and more appro
elated by the people in our midst. This
is demonstrated by frequent silent coo-
trlbutions from those who do not want
to advertise their charity, but desire
to contribute to the good work.
Among recent contributions was one
of ten dollars. another of five dollars.
and several of one dollar. The contri-
butions from the factories. the base
ball game and from individuals are
highly appreciated by the directors
and encourage the ladies to continue
.with the work.

50an They Did Not Have
Having read of the discussion in Nor-

the erytlon of a building over the
Norwaik river by Henry F‘ Colcburn.
George it. Byington writes the Sentinel
a communication in which be main-
tains that the front of'the new struc-
ture is on town property. lie sets
forth that the space between the bridge
and the old dam site. a matter of sev-
eral yards. was "gobbled" by the Nor-

sold. Mr. ilytngton explains that Mr.
Colsburn came into possession of the
property honorably by purchase. but
understands that the town or city of-
ficials or any tax-payer can enjoin a
continuance of the work.
He states:
Editor of Sentinel.
Sir:
My attention having been called to
your article anent the Coleburu build-
ing over the Norwalk river. l desire,
through your courtesy, to give the tax-
payers of Norwatk the facts in the
case, which are as follows:
On June 30. 1854. Joseph W. Hubbeli
deeded to the Norwalk River Protec-
tion Co. all that tract of land grsnted
by the proprietors of the common lands
of the town of Norwalk for a dam and
pond to tisnry and John Whitney. and
covered ad occupied by said pond and
This dam was located some sixteen
to eighteen feet north of the bridge,
the pond extending as far as the D. h
N. it. it. bridge. There was about ten
feet of tide water between the dam
and bridge. but when the freshet wash.
ed the dam sway. ~the tide water ex-
tended up to and beyond the rear of
the present Gnostic building.
On January :7. 1864. the Norwalk
River Protection Company gave a
quit claim deed to Asa B. Woodward
to cover “twenty rods. more or less."
of this space between the dam and
bridge. As the deed to Mr. Hubbell
and Mr. ltubbell's deed to the company
covered only the daiu and pond. he
company had no title to this space. as
it belongs to the town of Norwalk.
and is still town property.
Unfortunately the title to this space
caino to Mr. Coleburn through us, and
our attorney advised that we were
prohibited from contesttug'title in our
recent suit._and we went to court on
the grounds of damages to our build-
ing. These are “cold and cruel facts,"
am I, deem it my duty to the tax-pay-
ers to giys them the true conditions
as they stand. and while we cannot
question Mr. Celeb ‘s title. uhich is
also a unit claim. nderstand that
the selectmen. the mayor of Norwalk.
the city council. onany tax-payer can
enjoin the oration. of a building over
this tract between the old dam and

A verification of the photo can be
found in Vol. is. pp. 26, and Vol. 46.
pp. 37. of the town records.
