THE BRIDGE AND PARK
PROJECT.

On Monday of next week a
memorable special election will be
held in the Town of Norwalk at
which time the future policy of
The Norwalks shall be determin—
ed. At this time the bridge and
park bill will be put up straight
to the voters and upon their ac-

tion will be determined the fate
ll oi the bill.

From all parts of the town
comes the prediction that the bill
will be passed as a whole. that is,
both the bridge and the park fea-
tures will receive the sanction of
the voters, and both features will
go into effect immediately.

,Jn another part of this issue: is

f printed the bridge bill iniull. We

t. commend it to the readers of The

Sentinel for their careful perusal

., , and an impartial consideration.

~ The instrument is one that will

V stand on its merits and when once

understood by a voter therein no

doubt as to how" he will cast his
‘ ballot.

The passage of this bill in its
intirety by the people will have a
great and lasting influence on the
future policy of Norwalk. The is-
sue is a vital one and should re-
ceive the unanimous approval of
the town.

The history of this bridge and
park improvement has marked a
new epoch in the history of the
whole town.

Sectional jealousies and bicker-
ings have given. way to a unity
of feeling and endeavor and the
earnest. resolute and determined
attitude-on the part of the town
up to this time is largely respons-
ible for the safe passage of the
measure throughthe General As—
sembly where it was beset on ev-
ery side by objections which at
any moment threatened its very.
existence.

Now that the supreme moment
is at hand it is imperative that
this same unity of purpose and
determination shall be maintained
in order that the vote in favor of

f ‘boththehridgeaodtheparhshall
' be oysrwhelming.

, ’ . Every voter owes it to the Gpn—
‘ , oral Assembly and to the state

“that this bill shall receive‘his inc

. "divldual support.

because we benevod that It would not
only be a great public Improvement.
'but also because it is an Immediate
public necessity We have stood for
the park because we tell that the
property ought to belong to the town
In any event. and because this is the
direct way and probably the only way

, the lmproeslon was sought to be node
in the minds f the voters that if the

park was not approved or. they would
lose the 850.000 appropriatlon by the
state. This is absolutely without
foundation of fact. The appropriation
was lor the bridge and its approaches,
not the park or any part of the park.
and the voters were authorised to

determine whether they would have

image and park or bridge alone or
park alone. If they voted to establish

a park and not a bridge. they would
not have the 050.000 because the ap- cosi us scarcely a dollar.

the front portion or said buildings,
and then either cut oil the part bought
or allow the present owners to move " .w‘
them back. This would cost about as ’
much as it would to buy the while
property each side of the bridge. 1!
the park project prevails and the town
buys the property.1i would have some-
thing to show for its money when it
was through. The bridge bill has power
only to buy enough land for the bridge
and the park bill gives the town the
right to accept the gift or land from
the state and'tc buy from the owners ,
or condemn properly along the brldse. i
and there will be practically no sddi- ,

til it actually starts to build the park. .3.
The City of South Norwalk would
cart thousands of tons of filling every
year and when the government wld- ‘ ‘
ens the channel, they would also put
the material there, so that in a few
years the town would hnve land for
