"So tonight i come to you and ask
your assistance to carry out this
great work which we have begun and;
if there is anything which you do not;
understand, ask me, and I will tell
you all that i, know concerning it."

Councilman Hoyt then went on to

tell the board the general plans of 1'

the council in regards to the erection
of the public buildings and said. that
there was a mortgage of $4,000 hold
on the McMahon property. which was
wished for library purposes.

“The council wants $0,000 to pay
his equity in this piece of land now
and will come to you later for enough
funds to retire the note. We also
want $5,000 for the purpose of provid-
log for new police and drerdcpartment
accommodations. "

In speaking of the present police
headquarters Councilman Hoyt stamp-
ed the anlland street place as “the
filthicst police statiou in the state."

Continuing along this strain he said
that nineteen years ago he, as a mem-
ber of councilman, had been one of a
committee that p'urch'hsed and had in-
stalled prison pens which battered
conditions somewhat to; that time. It
had hen the purpose of the council at
that time that those pens would be for
use for two years ’only. However.
seventeen years have elapsed since
that two years expired and still the
some pens are in use and the condi-

are such that at the present time the
jail is no fit place 10' not a human be-

wrote Senor ()apina at the time, "is;
now fully cognizant of all the fhctsj
on which the claims of Colombia rest,
I have no doubt his visit to my coun-.

try will be fiultful, for he will find
that the popular feeling which of pre-
sent prevails there as in all South Am

brican republics with regard to the
United States, was mainly caused by
the manner in which that traditional
ally of the United States, Colombia

was treated in 1903 and loci, in con-

' nectlon with the severance of the Pan»,E

ama, and by there having been so far
no equitable settlement of Colombia's
claims growing out of that conduct. 5

"All good Colombians are heartily
dcklrous that such a feeling there, as
elsewhere in South America, be ap-
pcoaod; The sooner the better; it is
never too late to do right.

"Colombia does not ask that her
contentions he accepted at her arson
tioiis,. She hau iiimply dcmhudod for
the last eight years that her claims
he arbitrated so that, whatever the 1'1»
suit of, that arbitration may bc. confl-

Senor Onplna smiled when he was
reminded of that connncnt today.

“The. attention has changcd."
said "it is differcnt now.‘ '

During the week it is reported in
tinialions clinic to the i‘oloinbian min
later that Secretary Knox was not

hallo-American troubles. To Senor:

Senor Osplna declared in his letter
to Mr. Wilson that he had asked his
government to mail him instructions.
This, he explained today, would be a
matter of 12 days at least. Senor Os-
pina apparently is confident that this
government will reiterate that Mr
Knox‘s visit would be "lnopportune."
The thought of personal insult,
which position the State Department
is reported to have taken as to the
tenor of Senor Ospln'a's communica-
tions, had not occurred to him, the
Colombian minister said today. He
had intended only to set forth the
impatience of his government at not
receiving what he considered to be
proper consideration of its notes. The
contents of the last note asking for
arbitration, presented in November,
never have been made public, but it
is understood that the language is no

illlii AGAINST Hill

 

 

leafed in 19l0, Believes He
Can Win This Time

 

Lynn W. Wilson, of Bridgeport. was
a visitor in South Norwnlk. Saturday
night and according to the dope hand.
ed out by a local man interested in
politics, particularly Democratic poll-
tics. Mr Wilson came here to get no.
qualnted and “to mend his fences for
his fight in the fall against the lion
E. J. liill." Mr. Wilson is quoted as
saying that he was out for the Job
again and expected to land it this time.

Undoubtedly the llrldgeporter was
considerably encouraged 'by the last
election, in November, 1910, when he;
carried the first district by one vote5
over (‘ongrcasman Hill and \‘ils but
277 votes behind lilr lllii in the whole

 

 

town. The records show that Hill1
polled 813 votes in the first districtfl
$06 in the. second and 309 in the third}
Wilson polled 814 in the first; 667 in?
the second, and 170 in the third. which
totals for lilli 1,928 and “linen ‘l 631. ‘

Thus it can ho seen that while liill' 5:
own homi city horwalk fell down;
and gave his Democratic opponent a}
bare maimliy of one, South Norwnlk
11 md East Norwalk stood by him lmally l
with a majority of 1.9 eat it And this
year when lK‘lllOi‘liliF all 0101' thcf
country were having their inning. par-

still standing. There are, of course,
many more old houses than this num-

committee to find and mark all of the

tion of'the structures. A new set of
blanks will be issued and will be sent
to any who desire them.
