with NORWALK HAVE UN-
CONDITIONAL con-
SOLIDATION? "
Among the many other issues
.to be voted upon at the annual
town meeting, Monday, iivill be
the. mueh—muooted question of
Consolidation.
Just what this Consolidation
issue. means, we are not prepared
to say, as we have not been num-
bered among the sclf~appointcd
sponsors of the movement.
These gentlemen. whoever they
may be. for they have not declar—
ed themselves, except through
those who signed the petition for
the vote by request without con~
sideriug carefully just what they
were doing. ask that the voters of
Norwalk commit themselves to
something of which they know
nothing. -
ly this clever ruse. they think.
unihnibtedly. that they will
. . l
abh- to gain an unfair advantage:
hIIle vote on Unconditional Con-
solidation what would it avail for
five, ten} twenty or even fif-
Ity citizens to appear before
the legislature at the ‘eleventh
' hour and, oppoae o measure upon
which the people had voted favor
"ably? _
*W'cutl'dE not a favorable vote on
Unconditional Consolidation in-
dicate that the people of the
Tl'Own of Norwalk wished controll-
dation in any form, and without
consideration of the interest or
welfare of any section?
Would the legislature be ac-
connted guilty ‘of an omission
were they to pass a bill under
these conditions providing for
the consolidation of the cities
and districts without: attaching
thereto a referendum? '
There. has been no movement
on the part of the people of the
town as a whole, or by any sec—
tion pf it, for what is Called a
"test" vote at this time.
Of what use is this vote, should
it be favorable. except as an ar-
gument that the, people had by
referendum approved of Uncow
ditional Consolidation?
. A vote for consolidation now
is going into a very serious mat—
ter blindly. No form of charter
has been offered. No considera‘
tion for any section of the town
has been made.
The whole scheme is to trap the
people into a vote for a project
Upon which they are totally unin-
formed as to its outcome.

'l’licy scout the fears evpressed
through these columns that, if a
favorable test rote is taken at the
polls, Monday. it will bet used as,
a wedge btlote the next session
of the (iemtal Assembly to open
a way for the ionsolidation of 11ml
town without again referring the
matter bark to the people for
their consideration.
\ll sorts of de\ites have beeltl

of the town.
At .1 meeting of the committee
on cities and boroughs of the last
legislature. lie-fore which matters
of interest between Norwalk and.
South Norwalk were being ar~
gued the the question of Consoli-
dation was mentioned incidew
tally.
In the midst of the discussion,
our senator, addressing the chair—
man of the conunittee, made the
statement that if the members of
the. (icneral Assembly had the
proper stuff in the makeup of
their spinal column, anddf in their
blood there run a deep. dull red,

people an issue which was 'dia—’
hateful to a majority of them.
The seed has been sown. We
.know not of the fertility of the
9mm upon which it fell nor do
‘we know the potentials of the fer-
tilizer that might be used.
Are the voters of thin
