ably covered by insurance.
Two Horses and Cow Saved.
When the fire broke out there were
four horses in the barn, two of which
were led out in safety, as well as a
cow. One of the. horses last was valu-
able. In the burn besides the animal
were a number of sets of harness.
which were destroyed together with a
wagon. The barn was a large one,
one half being new and holy recently
completed.

The b'lllrilcld and Southport fire de-
partments responded and aid was
asked from Bridgeport, several pieces
of apparatus being sent. Their ef-

other buildings on the place-which
escaped with only severe scorching.

Never before in the history of Nor-
Welk has the need for the public col-
lection of garbage been so emphatic-
ally empbasloed and it is expected
from the numerous complaints about
the present. system and the many sug'
gestlons for the. city to maintain a mu
nlcipal collection. that the city on-
cials will take some action on the
matter in the near future.
, The subject has been brought to
the attention of the Norwalk citizens
through the change in location of the
public dump. Joseph P. Crossman, of
Jennings! Place, maintained a dump
for the city and kept the garbage
dumped there covered with material.
supplied him, and this plan worked
satisfactorily, but recently Mr. Gross-
gnan gave up his job. Since then the
city has found it necessary to have all
the disgusting vl'aste dumped at the
foot of Moody’s Lane, underneath
East avenue. The complaints from
East avenue residents about A the
stench, are pouring into all the city of-
ficials by the score.
Mayor Edward J. Finnegan, in his
annual message, and the Republican
party in the platform, both favored the
public collection of garbage in Nor-
walk. its success in South Norwalk
has..proved attractive to the citizens
of the upper city. All that is now
required to convince all citizens of
the necessity for'the city to care for
the waste material, is for one to walk
down East avenue when the wind is
elsewhere than from t oust.
Highway Wlhisslonsr Nelson W.
Benedict stated this morning that he
collect the garbage and feels sure limit.
it is an excellent plan. The agitation
now taking hold of Norwalkers will
bring it, the commissioner thinks, and
many echo his sentiments.
Under the present scheme of gar-
bage collection, wagon loads of the
refuse are dumped at the foot of
Moody‘s Lane at all times of the day.
With the city in charge the dumping
would be done at regular intervals. At
present, unless the one carting“ the
material to the place reaches there at1
a certain time, it is left uncovered on i
til the next day and the odor is un- l
bearable, particularly now in the hot.
weather. .Wlth the city caring for the
garbage problem, as other progressive
municipalities do, the menace to
health and the discomfort would all be
relieved. '
