One of he knotty problems which
the new mayor and council of the City
of South Norwalk will be forced to
solve this year will the to preside For
proper and decent accommodations of
the police department and jail. The
condition of the present Quarters in
Haviland street are admittedly wretch-
ed and sltbuld have received attent:
years ago.

The council last year attempted to
provide new quarters for the depart-
ment, but Were unable to accomplish
their ends owing to a chain of circuitr-
stances which held up the matter un-
til it became too late.

The agitation for a new Jail and for
new quarter-s was started during May-
or'Robert M. Wolfe’s brat-administra-

other hcld the matter in some and

north; Mayor Albert II. Pohlman' e ad-
ministrdtion the agitation was again
started, but with the birth of the city
hall scheme, the health department
was called off and it we. the plan to
have the Jail and court room in the
new city hall.

WhenVVlast year’s council came into
cities they were confronted with sev-
eral big tasks. Councilman George L.
Oliver was appointed police commie
sloner and immediately got down to
hard work. It was the origanal plan
to move the jail quarters and the 110
lion department to the city hall. The
council's investigation, llOWeverpsliow-
ed that wherever this plan had been
put into effect the city or town lived to
regret their course and the plan of a
combined city hall and , police head-
quaoters was abandoned. in the bond.
issue no provision was made for the
police department so other ways were
devised to meet the contingency. When
the central fire station plans came out,
they showed an entirely new building,
separated from the i’utnnm Hose build-
ing in Franklin street which the couuv
cil proposed be used for an up-todato
police headquarters and jail. The plan
was subject to all kinds of criticism
and when the council went before the
Board of Estimate rand Taxation to
get the money for remodelling the Put-
nam Hose building they Wore refused,
and it was suggested that an annex be
constructed on the new city hall for
the accommodation of the jail. This
was considered and it was found to.-be
Impossible owing to the fact that
there was not enough room on the lot
for the construction of tho annex and
there we: not enought money left of
the bond issue to purchase additional
property, the price of which had coar-
ed since the city purchased the Path
doe property on the corner. Thus the
plan for the new accommodations for
the police department were cloned in
the bud.

At last evening‘s meeting, Mayor
‘IWcife, in his message. urged the no;
density or some action and appointed
