_ CHRISTIAN SWARTZ
GET AFTER THE LEAKs.
The water famine in Westchester is
assuming a very serious aspect. The
Mount Vernon schools have closed,
factories have shut down and horses
are getting frettui and restless from
thirst. The large New York water
“ main has been tapped and Mount Ver-
non gets 1,000,000 gallons of water a
day which is about one lifth of its need-
ed supply. Families of three to seven
have had only two pails of water a day.
At Noroton the scarcity of water In
, obliging some people to close their
houses and go elsewhere. The N. Y..
N. H. & ii. Railroad Company have
about exhausted their water supply at.
Rowayton and will soon have to fill
their locomotives at South Norwalk.
Would It. not be a very wise and judi-
cious thing to see that every leaky
water fixture was repaired or replaced
by new ones if necessary, and save the
700,000 gallons of water that now
runs to waste daily in our city?
BOND ISISUE FOR CIVIC CENTER.
A very important proposition for ibr
consideration of the voters of South
Norwalk, at the election. Monday next,
, is to secure authority for the city to
Issue bonds to the amount oi tilt)
thousand dollars for the purchase (ll
property for a civic center,
The property upon which options:
hlvo been secured is shown by din
, gram printed elsewhere. This proper
' . ty will provide for the rcquircmcnlsol
the city ill the way of public buildings.
as Well as very much better quarters
for the fire department.
The property is central, vi-ry access-
uble and fully adequate for tho pur-
poses desired in a civil center, and
can be secured at u very reasonable
cost. '
To vote favorably for this issue of
bonds an "X" must be made within the
circle at tho bend of the rolinnu in the
ticket containing the word “Yes."

Sufficient ileum Wily That Par-
ty Should Be Kept In Power
How the Democratic committee can
claim the credit for the financial ad-
ministration of the city during theiast
year as. a partisan accomplishment. is
both incongruous and incomprehenab
hie. On our city council last year
were two Democrats and tour Repub-
licans. Each of these six councilman
was at the head of a particular de-
partment of the city, having at his
disposal for the financing of his de-
partment the money appropriated by
the Board of Estimate and Taxation.
No department could legally expend
more money than was appropriated
for it. The two DemOcrutlc members
of the council as the beads of their
respective departments, kept within
their appropriation, as by law they
were bound to do. So the four Repub.
iican members of the council, as heads
of their department, kept within their
appropriations.
There is no virtue in the slogan of
economic administration used by the
Democratic connnlttee as reason for
the re-election of Democratic candl-
dutos. To whom then, does the credit-
it credit there be. for the economic
administration of our city belong? To
the two Democrats, or the four llepnb~
Iicuus? it is customary. in politics, to
give credit to the party containing the
majority members. and on the proper
basis of reasoning. the credit belongs
to the Republican party, who controll-
ed the council by its majority mem-
bership.
The Democratic committee claims
that their party should be credited ior
reducing the city debt. Just a word on
lIIit-l matter. The lionrd of Estimate
and Taxation last year appropriated
a certain fixed sum for that purpose.
and the tax ratc- oi‘ the city was made
at a rule sufllcicnt to raise that sum.
'l‘bia fixed sum, so specially nppropi‘r
ulcd. was used by the lust council in
i‘ciluco tin- city debt. The); bad on dis
trctlou in the matter; by law tlit‘l'
ucrc compelled in do so.
The intelligent. thinking citizens of
South Norwalk, when llicy l‘ttlt'illt' lilo
true situation, will give credit, win-re
credit is due. if such an enviable
record was made by a council l'llll‘
trailed by Republicans. would it not
