BY WHAT RIGHT?
Six months ago. we had a city elec-
tion in South Norwalk. The Repub-
licans put up a ticket for mayor and
Councilmen, and the Democrats put up
a ticket. There was ‘no particular
question in issue. There was almost
no public interest. and a light vote
was" cast. in that vote. the Demo-
crats were on the whom the winners.
A month later. we had a state elec-
tion in Norwalk. The Democrats put
‘up their ticket and the Republicans
theirs. No particular question was in
issue. The public interest was slight.
and again It light vote was cast. in
that vote, the Democrats were again
on the whole successful.
And peace reigned in city and town
for several months. But in the middle
of February an idea came to the mind
of a leading Democrat. and bothered
him so much that he decided to ex-
press it, which he did in the presence
of the honorable mayor and city coun-
cil of South Norwulk .
Just at this time. those eminent on...
highly respected officers of the cit)
government were not very busy and
had nothing especial to thinkiabout.
and the idea pitahtéd them. They won
sure that it would arouse considersblr
public interest. PIIrsucd by this idea
they called a mass Inciting of all tin
citizens of South Norwalh. To this
meeting came ninety-four voters. of
whom seventy-five yerc the reliable
follOWera of the
And the meeting voted by the over-
whelming majority of fully sixty vot-
ers that the idea was excellent.
Has this idea anything to do with
the legal functions of the city council
and mayor of South Norwalit? Were
these Oiiiceru elected as the result of
an open campaign? Was it ever do-
bated prior to the election of these
sponsors for its birth and being?
What is the business of the council
and mayor of South Norwalk 0b-
viously. to enforce the laws and to
make new laws within the contempla

Already the charter commissioners
with their extrudagal functions do

the notion of one low for all and one

and five decrees of tax in five pro-
cincts. ii‘lvc seems to lie n‘tempor-
arlly sacred number. Why not make
it seven? Everyone knows that seven
is a very sacred, a highly sacrosunct.
number.
Of course. consolidation really
means unity—«Ina law for all. one tax
for all. The charter commissioners
are promising no higher taxes for the
rural districts. And yet. according
to their notion. the town-city is to ha Vt
three or five or seven commissioners:
on salary of twa, three or four thou
sand dollars each. Are the rural pro
cincta to be exempt from taxation to
pay these commissioners" salaries?
Are the urban precincts to he saddled
with all this expense? is East Nor»
walk to be treated for this purpose at
urban or rural?
But it in fact. the rural iownapcopb
of Noru‘alk are to pay no higher taxes.
by what right are the urban residents
of the town to be loaded with thh
additional expense?
The charter commissioners an

They are not even trying to draw up
for the new towtrclty a gallium: com

Commission government means the
election of II certain number of out
corn to constitute a commission t«
govern the city. and of no other 0th-
ars. it means that this people of Nor
walk would elect three or five or seven
men to run everything.
